Ready for the Holidays?

Have you made that list and checked it twice? I mean, of course, your Christmas card list. Gather that list, the cards, envelopes, return address labels or stamper, several good pens, and a fistful of stamps. Now, if you aren't already too pooped after that, you can begin the signing and addressing process. For tips on getting the job done, check out last year's blogpost, With Every Christmas Card I Write. 

Or, you can turn over the whole thing to someone else. At Elegant Scribbles, we love hand-addressing holiday cards for our clients. It saves them precious time and keeps us in the holiday spirit!

Freshen Up for Fall

Now that autumn has blown some of the heat and humidity out of the way, Kate, Julie, and I thought we'd offer up some new hand-writing samples for Elegant Scribbles. Bolder stationery colors and brighter, metallic inks are being requested more and more often, so we want to showcase some of those options.

If you're planning a wedding, one of the first things you have to consider is letting people know about your big day. But you're really busy. Or maybe your hand-writing isn't that great, but you don't want to run your expensive wedding stationery through a printer or you can't afford a calligrapher. Well, that's what we do best at Elegant Scribbles. We offer a lovely, personal, cost effective way to address your save-the-dates and invitations and hand-write your place cards and thank you notes, including three distinctive cursive styles and three distinctive block lettering styles.

Or perhaps your company or organization is holding a gala event or fund-raiser. You know if you slap on computer-generated address labels, chances are good that your invitation won't even be opened. But a hand-addressed envelope is hard to ignore. Elegant Scribbles has experience addressing invitations with guest lists of 1500+. And we're here to help with the place cards, as well.

And the holidays are coming up. We love addressing holiday cards for corporate or personal clients.

What else could you use a personal scribe for? We've filled out certificates, written letters, and hand-lettered menu cards. We'd love to help!

For now, enjoy the colors of autumn and nip in the air. And remember, we write, you relax!

A Candle in the Dark, a Pen to the Paper

As fast as life flies by in winter, spring, and summer, it takes off at warp speed during the autumn. Three months of successive major holidays hardly leaves time to catch a breath. One moment you're stitching up a Halloween costume and carving a jack o'lantern; the next, you're cleaning up after a splendid Thanksgiving feast and heading like a rocket into the Christmas rush.

The dark is upon us. The days are shorter, but our to-do lists are longer. To maintain health and sanity some things simply must be cut from those lists. But what?

Well, one little thing Elegant Scribbles can do to help is to pick up our pens and address party invitations, holiday cards, wedding save-the-dates and invitations, place cards, and anything else that requires neat, readable handwriting. Busy brides, harried party-planners, and anyone facing a stack of Christmas cards that must be addressed can turn to us for fast, affordable hand-addressing.

So think of Elegant Scribbles as a little candle in the dark, enabling busy, cheerful people to mark "address envelopes" off their lists and enjoy this festive season. http://www.elegantscribbles.com/
