New Product Showcase: "Divine" Pocketfold Invitation

As mentioned earlier this week, we are expanding our Etsy shop & overall product line. So, what better way to kick off the weekend than with some snapshots of our latest paperie?

Today we're introducing the "Divine" pocketfold invitation set into our Etsy shop, making it the first pre-designed pocketfold to grace our storefront!


The invitation card, featuring a double-lined border & justified text, is mounted inside an elegant 5" x 7" pearlescent pocketfold.


To dress up your pocketfold invitation set: consider alternating the envelope & pocketfold color, adding a colorful envelope liner, or even using a closure tag & baker's twine (or ribbon) to add some color on the outside of the pocketfold!


To keep it modern: use a vellum envelope & a wrap-around label in a matching design!



With it's fashionable fonts & poster-like layout, this invitation ensemble is completely versatile - it can be a great fit for any wedding style!

Love the look? We can also create favor tags, programs & table numbers to match! Feel free to visit our Etsy shop for additional pricing information, or drop us an interprintations@gmail.com for a custom quote.

Enjoy your weekend & thanks for stopping by! Stay tuned next week for a new "Etsy Envy" post & more product features!

New Product Showcase: Ornate Monogram Menu Card

With the spring wedding season right around corner, it's time for us to start updating the Etsy shop! One of the first items we're unveiling this week is our Ornate Monogram Menu Card...


Measuring approx. 6" square, it's sized to lay perfectly inside a charger or dinner plate. It's a great way to add a dash of color to each place setting, without distracting from the rest of your table's decor.


This elegant menu card is printed on a luxurious 100lb white linen cardstock & layered on top of a pearlescent backer card. Prominent fonts and an ornate monogram help polish off the menu's prestigious design.


Love the look? We can also create favor tags, programs & table numbers to match! Feel free to visit our Etsy shop for additional pricing information, or drop us an interprintations@gmail.com for a custom quote.

Stay tuned for more designer paperie! Our Etsy shop is ever growing...

Inside the Studio: January 2012

What a month it's been so far! As soon as we bid farewell to the holiday season, it has been non-stop here in the studio.

Between production on items for our March & April brides, creating marketing materials for local event professionals, and the usual steady stream of Etsy orders.....our printers have been going practically non-stop.

However, the next few days will be dedicated to testing out our new laser-cut designs, so we're giving our overworked printers the weekend off. =) Our new laser-cut product line will be making it's debut at the upcoming Art of the Table event, where we're collaborating with Boldly Chic Events and Design Group on a fabulous tablescape! If you are a bride-to-be, a professional in the event industry, or just have a love for florals, linens & decor.....you won't want to miss it! {Be sure to buy your tickets in advance online!}

While we continue to catch up here in the studio, I'll leave you with a few snapshots of our latest work....enjoy!

2011 in Review

Interprintations - 2011 in review!

Cheers to another fabulous year in our studio!

It's hard to believe that 2011 is almost over, and with it brought many milestones & new adventures for our small business. I am so proud of the accomplishments we achieved this year and am looking forward to another record year in 2012!

Without further ado, here are some of our favorite moments & accomplishments from 2011...

First off....we finally joined the Twitter world in early 2011! With a little pressure from fellow event pros to get ourselves on this media outlet, we finally caved. =)

We've enjoyed having this additional outlet to share our latest work & general happenings with our twitter fans. It's also been a great tool for helping us keep on top of growing wedding trends & networking with our favorite event pros!

In March, I hosted a "bee themed" baby shower for my sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and their soon-to-be baby boy, Bentley! I loved being able to stretch my creativity outside the wedding realm! The invitations, table decor & coordinating sweets table were all a huge hit among guests. Plus, the catered food at Adelino's is always delicious. =)

Bentley joined us in April - and my husband and I have enjoyed our new roles as Aunt & Uncle ever since!

This year marked another record year for our Etsy shop! At year end, we have now made 421 sales since opening our "virtual shop" doors in April 2010. We've now shipped to customers in all 50 states, as well as to the UK, Australia & Canada. Thank you to all of our Etsy clients for your loyalty & positive feedback!

Our Facebook page has quickly become our primary source for sharing recent photos, new Etsy listings, and wedding/event tips & trends. We're seeing our fan base increase every week, which is so exciting! We truly value hearing your feedback, suggestions & input on our latest work & new product lines. If you're not a fan yet, be sure to check out our page!

In November, we attended the inaugural Wish Upon A Wedding gala, held at the Conrad in downtown Indianapolis. Not only was I able to spend the evening with some of my favorite fellow event professionals, it also gave me an opportunity to learn much more about this exceptional charity. I am now signed up to be an official "wish granter," and am looking forward to contributing!

Throughout this year, we've also had the chance to work with some local venues for the first time! It was great to finally check out there event spaces, as well as see photos of our paperie at our clients' weddings. Here are a few "firsts" that topped our list...
Indianapolis Museum of Art
D'Amore
Omni Indianapolis
Milltop
....just to name a few!

Needless to say, it's been an eventful, exciting, and exceptional year for Interprintations!

Thank you to all of our friends, family, fans & customers for your continued support. Interprintations would not be where it is today without you!

We wish you all the best in 2012, and look forward to seeing what the upcoming year has in store!

Happy New Year!

Playing Catch Up!

The Etsy shop has been closed for the holidays, all of the holiday card orders have been shipped, my Christmas shopping is done and all of the presents are wrapped....

...aside from a couple of batches of fudge & cookies to make, I'm officially ready for the holiday weekend! =)

Now that things are finally quieting down around here (for the first time since, well, last holiday season), I've had time to catch up on some of my favorite things. First and foremost being my blog roll! I have so many fabulous blogs to read, and so little time.

I always love sharing my favorite blogs, so here are a few of my favorite ones that I've caught up on from the last few weeks....

Do you follow the fashionably fabulous Jessica Quirk on What I Wore? You DON'T?! Well, you really should. =)

AROUND THE HOUSE

At my house, we're currently working on a couple of bathroom remodeling projects....which has now inspired me to revamp a handful of other rooms in the house! I now find myself seeking out home decor & home improvement blogs to add to my blog roll. My latest favorites are Material Girls and The Inspired Room.
(Which also reminds me....I need to put a trip to Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel on my calendar for next Monday. Can't wait to check out their post-holiday sales!)

LOCAL NEWS

This goes to show just how far behind I am on my blog reads! How did I miss this awesome post by Snappening, detailing some fabulous Super Bowl party ideas? From the perfect venue in Indianapolis to party activities to the perfect invitation, it is chock full of great ideas.

(...and thanks to Snappening for mentioning us in the article!)

Thanks + Giving

We hope that all of you are enjoying the extended holiday weekend!

We were lucky enough to spend Thanksgiving back home at my parent's house, complete with delicious home cooking & wonderful company. It's nice to travel back to "small town" Indiana every once in a while, where there's no traffic or a cell phone signal to be found. In all honesty, I was thankful for a little break from our usual, fast-paced city life. =)

Now that I'm back in the studio....it's OUR turn to give back to all of our fans, for which we are SO thankful!
