Waiting for the print blocks to arrive is one of those times for reflection, the lull before the storm. After the flurry of emails associated with each order there comes an interlude of peace and calm where nothing should be too hurried. Graphic design and layout has been sent to the block maker and it then is up to him to create his part of the process. A small, lightweight metal block, etched precisely and carefully cut to allow precise printing of each individual card. Block making appears to be a black art, possibly magic, maybe more of a craft where the secrets are held close. The block maker just may be a wizard poker player. Whatever the methods used, a good block is necessary to produce a well printed card. We have tried a few and believe we now have the best block maker we can find for your own special Save The Date Cards.

Recession in Britain “At an end” is reported in today’s news. Now this sounds interesting. Time to blow the savings, book a luxury holiday and splash out on a new car. Maybe not quite so fast. Read on and discover a message of changing habits, thrift and careful money management. Go back to the ways of your grandparents, perhaps. This may not be such a bad thing. “Neither a borrower or a lender be” is a charming sentiment, but difficult to achieve in our modern age. One thing our grandparents did understand was the sense in buying quality goods. Cheap and cheerful is ok if you accept something may only just do its job, but often involves more effort. Our high quality Save The Date Cards will do their job. We know they are noticed and remembered from the feedback we receive, sometimes years later. If a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well, so when you need to announce your event visit www.savethedatecards.co.uk

There are some strange and disturbing stories in the news at the moment, but it’s heartening to see that generally people are still planning ahead and making their own mark despite the tales of doom and gloom. It’s no use listening to the war mongers, politicians and newshounds. Life must go on and preferably go on in style. Why put up with the tales of woe when you have a full life to live?
Go for it, have dreams and hopes for the future. Politicians come and go, but a couple can endure most things together. We are still seeing plenty of people planning ahead and expecting to announce their wedding with the style and grace we can assist with. Contact us at www.savethedatecards.co.uk and we will guide you towards an announcement which will give the right impact for your special occasion.

It’s been in the papers, on the TV news and reported on Google news, so it must be right. Scientists tell us that just the thought of a nice cuppa tea can make us feel more cheerful.
That may well be, but an actual cuppa tea, in my honest opinion, makes me feel much more cheerful than just thinking about it.
OK, so there’s the ritual of filling the kettle, boiling the water, brewing the tea, pouring the tea, then finally drinking the tea.
A similar situation may well exist with Save The Date Cards, although it’s unlikely any scientist has studied the process.
There’s a good chance that thinking about your design makes you feel cheerful, placing your order for the cards makes you feel more cheerful, and receiving them through the post really gives your happiness levels a boost.
The best part though, is sending out your Save The Date Cards to friends and family and hearing all their comments and best wishes.

‘Twas brillig and the slivey toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe, all mimsey were the borogroves and the mome raths did outrabe. Ah, the wonderful words of Sir Edward Lear. Evocative, possibly troubled words, suggesting waking dreams. Scholars may pronounce meanings, but did the writer know what they were. The wonderful play for voices by Dylan Thomas, with Nogood Boyo, not bright, socially inept and showing inapproprite behaviour, Polly Garter and Butcher Beynon, Polly Garter and Mae-Rose Cottage. Wonderful characters you will recognise still today, brought to life by the power of words and the english language.

Save The Date Cards are the ideal way to promote your wedding. It’s the most personal, emotionally charged, important event you are ever likely to arrange. Nowadays no wedding is properly arranged without it’s own website [ and possibly it's own blog ] to provide details of your special occasion to friends and family.
Every event needs advertising and sometimes simple advertising works best. Picture your card in frosted clear plastic with holoprint writing, something modern and impressive. After your future guests have had their attention grasped firmly by the first impression of your card, give them a simple but memorable message. Rather than trying to cram in every last little detail of where the Church is, followed by Reception at the Grand Venue Anytown, try a more simple approach. Picture in your minds eye that shimmering writing announcing “Janet and John, Save The Date 20-10-2010 www.janetandjohnswedding.co.uk.” That, coupled with a simple graphic of interlinked wedding rings should have everyone leaping to their computers to find out more.

The Save The Date Cards printer had a busy evening carefully producing customers orders. Printing these cards is a strangely old fashioned process for such modern looking cards., more a traditional craft than might be expected. Each print run requires it’s own individual block to be mounted and aligned to the cards, then tested and adjusted till correct. The desk top print machine itself appears to have been hewn from a single ingot of steel and is so heavy it takes two people to lift or move it. Each card requiring a change of print colour involves physically removing one foil from the machine, then lacing a new foil round the various rollers and drums to a take up spool behind. The number of different types of tape involved in the process includes heat sensitive tape for mounting the blocks and assorted tapes for minor, but necessary odd functions. It’s a far cry from using your computers ink jet printer, but we feel it’s worth the extra effort to produce such impressive cards.

It’s been sunny and warm in The Bubble today and every man and his dog have been enjoying the rural theme park which used to be known as the great british countryside. Serious hikers with nylon overshoes and walking poles to the casual weekend walkers in brightly coloured wellies. All shapes and sizes from all walks of life have been enjoying “their” countryside. The good weather must have had an effect as after about 4-00 pm we started to see numerous email requests for Save The Date Cards. The peaceful walks may have caused the final bonds to be made and young couples all over the country decided the time has come to enjoin and live as one. To say young couples may well be wrong, as any age couples make commitments to each other, their friends and families. Whatever the situation, see what we can offer as announcement cards . Visit www.savethedatecards.co.uk and we will do our best to produce a card which reflects your own message.
