Will your baseball-loving sweetheart propose at the ballpark?

The San Francisco Giant’s season kicked off on April 1^st in Los Angeles against the Dodgers, but their first home game is right around the corner! On April 8^th, the Giants will play the St. Louis Cardinals at AT&T Park. I have a feeling we’ll be seeing some marriage proposals up on the big screen.

How do you feel about big screen engagements? Would you want to be proposed to that way? I think it is a great idea for couples who share a love of the sport. But for a fiancé who is just tagging along to the game with her sweetie…the groom-to-be *might* want to consider getting down on one knee!

…or write it on the field

Wedding Invitation Designs Fit For a King and Queen

At last! It was announced last Tuesday that Prince William proposed to his longtime sweetheart, Kate Middleton! They dated for eight years before Prince William popped the question. I’m sure the wait was well worth it.

Amongst millions of other little details, I wonder what kind of wedding invitations they will choose? Hopefully they will settle for nothing less than exquisite letterpress printed wedding invitation cards. Maybe they will find a royal invitation design all the way across the Pacific, like our Cathryn design!

Send Me My Free Samples of Cathryn

Our Cathryn seems to fit perfectly– Kate Middleton will take on the title “Queen Catherine” when Prince William is crowned. Customizable options like gold foil stamping or metallic ink seem like perfect touches for a prince and princess.

A spring or summer ceremony is in the works for this royal couple, and I can only imagine what this long-awaited wedding and their invitations will be like!

Pattinson’s Wedding Invitation Wonders

I am not typically one to follow celebrity gossip, though it seems next to impossible when it relates to the Twilight movie series. Actors Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are major stars of the Twilight series and therefore their lives cannot help but be broadcasted throughout the news media. Which is why I was not surprised when I heard that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were getting married.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart recently announced their engagement to get married which was met with joy and enthusiasm from all their fans. But the only thing I could think of was what are their wedding invitations going to look like? Would their wedding invitations be custom, artisan crafted, gold foiled or printed in blood?

The only proper way to announce the marriage of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart is with custom crafted letterpress wedding invitation designs. To match the classical look and authentic quality that these Twilight characters have built up, many media critics have said that this couple will almost certainly be choosing letterpress wedding invitations.

But no matter what type of wedding invitations this power couple will choose, they will be working with professionals who provide excellent customer service and amazing quality in their letterpress wedding invitations.

After ordering her wedding invitations from Invitations by Ajalon, Linda said:

“I received my invitations yesterday. They look great!! I can’t wait to give them out to my family and friends. Thanks again!!!”

Brides to be, I understand your lives are busy. Whether your wedding is 5 days or 5 months away, it is important to manage your time wisely to prevent stress and anxiety that typically surrounds the wedding planning process.

As you may or may not have already discovered, there are several easy steps that any bride can take to ease their wedding planning worries.

My first suggestion would be to enlist the help of your closest friends, relatives and family members that are willing or have the time to help. Working with people whose company you enjoy, and whose ideas and suggestions you can trust, makes the task seem less daunting.

The second, less obvious recommendation involves the vendors you will be working with. While costs, convenience and availability typically dictate wedding planning decisions, don’t forget about the importance of quality professionals in the field.

At one of my cousin’s engagement parties a few years ago, she hired a less expensive, semi-pro photographer that unfortunately exemplified the term “semi.” While the photographer had an expensive, professional quality camera, she did not know how to use the settings properly and many of the most important pictures came out fuzzy. Luckily this did not happen at the wedding, but that experience made me realize that when it comes to your wedding, lower costs should not always be the deciding factor. You only have one chance to say “I do” and you cannot pose twice for that epic entire family dance floor experience.

To have fun, get the job done right the first time, and make the process as easy as possible, it is always wise to work with professionals. As Sindhu recently commented after receiving her completed invitation set, “Trish has been the most pleasant individual I have had to work with during this entire wedding planning process. There is no way I would have done it any other way.”

Working with internet-only invitation printers may be slightly cheaper, but the quality, value and service that professionally trained and experienced individuals brings to your wedding invitation is priceless.
