Commercialism aside, the holiday season is still about giving.  Instead of the exchanging of gifts, this struggling economy has caused us to reexamine what is most important.  The giving of time, the giving of care and support, and the giving of ourselves.  Let’s take it a step further and try giving back in every little way that we can.  This year we are very happy to introduce our line of Eco-Friendly Greeting Cards, made of 100% recycled paper with 30% of it composed of post consumer fibers.  That means that you can send out cards this year while still being conscious about the environment, and doing your small part to help our planet.

The best part is that eco-friendly doesn’t mean you’re compromising on quality or style!  We have several options in both religious and non-religious themes that are elegant, modern, or fun to suit your need.  They are an excellent option for businesses, too, because we can easily add a company name or logo to give them that custom touch.  And with so much attention to the effect we as humans are causing on our environment, every effort a company takes to conserve is noticed.

This pine card celebrates the beauty of winter, while wishing everyone a delightful season.

Yes, it’s that time of year again! Every winter I have the same internal debate with myself, about what a headache it can be to pick out cards, make lists of friends and family members, find updated addresses, and go through the general hassle of sending out holiday cards. Especially on a tight budget, I have to push myself to remember why we even send out cards anymore.  In a world where the internet and cell phones can put you in contact with just the click of a mouse or the push of a button, why bother with traditional mail? But, just close your eyes and think for a moment of how you feel when you receive a card for a holiday, your birthday or anniversary. The feel of the smooth or textured paper in your hands, the glitter, the gems… The extra time and effort you know went in to choosing a card, personalizing it, and sending it to you creates a feeling that is irreplaceable. Now that my head is back on straight and my heart is in the right place again, that doesn’t mean my wallet has gotten any wider!  So here are a few tips to save some green and send out high quality holiday cards out for cheaper!

Almost every website has it, but not everyone knows to look for it: the SALE section. Browse through what kinds of products are available at a discounted price. You might find the perfect card there and be done! Try checking prices on the simpler designs, without all the bells and whistles. Often times, they are much less expensive for the plainer result. To spruce up these designs, hit up your local crafts store and find a few inexpensive additions. You can easily add sequins, gems, or bows with a little bit of glue, or get some glitter pens in different holiday colors and add your own swirls and designs.  It takes just a few extra minutes, and costs a lot less! Another idea is to try DIY photos instead of using a professional photographer for your family portraits. Most digital cameras have a time-delay setting and a “portrait” or “photographing people” setting as well.  Try using that and a tripod or level surface to rest your camera on, and take your own family photograph in your home.  You can print your photos at a local pharmacy or grocery store that processes digital photos (and most do nowadays) for much less than ordering prints through a professional studio.

It’s the 21^st century, and family is anything but simple!  Keeping track of where you were for which holiday, which year, and trying to split your time equally is unreasonable, not to mention impossible.  On top of it all, you have to try to divide your time between your incredibly complex family and your spouse’s!  Everyone says that the holiday season is supposed to be about family, friends, and the spirit of giving, but what often ends up happening is giving too much of yourself to try to please everybody.  Stress has a scientifically proven, huge impact on your immune system, and letting yourself get pulled in every direction will only leave you with a headache and a cold for the holiday season.

So, it’s time to get back to the basics.  Light yourself a pumpkin or cinnamon spice candle, sit down in your favorite comfy chair, and give yourself a moment.  Start by asking yourself what it is that you want to do this year.  Whether that means going to your mom’s for a home cooked meal, celebrating with your best friend, or shutting yourself up in your room with a “Bah Humbug!” sign on your door, the important thing is to start by figuring it out for yourself.  Next step, talk with your spouse or significant other, and decide what would make you happy as a couple.  Even if it means changing a long running tradition, or doing the exact same thing as last year.   Give yourself the gift of a holiday with less stress.

Don’t forget to take time to enjoy the changing seasons, the brilliant colors, the cold air, and the taste of a homemade pumpkin pie.  Read an inspiring novel or one of your favorite classics.  And finally, start planning early so you don’t feel that last minute crunch.  Here are some great decoration and gift ideas to give you a head start:

Go easy on the dishwasher and get yourself a complete set of disposable Holiday Tableware.  This one is extra festive with snowflakes and swirls, and red and green stripes!

Congratulations!  You’ve decided to tie the knot!  Now take a deep breath, because after the initial excitement of the engagement has passed, the overwhelming realization of the amount of work you have to take on is going to hit. Getting married is stressful, no matter when you set your date.  My advice is to start with the big things: find your wedding location(s) and caterer.  After that, worry about the photographer/videographer, florist, and DJ/band. The most time-consuming part is going to be figuring out how you want to personalize your wedding ceremony and reception, so that it captures a bit of the blending of you and your fiancé(e)’s personalities.  Start ahead on your wedding attire, and don't let yourself get worked up!  When it comes to everything else, think first about your colors, theme, and personal style. A lot of people really love to reflect the season in their big day.  There are a ton of little things you can do to add a bit of seasonal or holiday flair to your wedding, without making it seem cheesy or themed. 

A new, hot trend is the black & white wedding with red accents.  Aside from bringing in the red with flowers, consider adding small touches of winter decorations like peppermints.  The bold red, white and black will keep your event classic and elegant. Coordinate your invitations with a design like this one:

LCP16-op - "Moulin Rouge Pocket,Insert Card & Pre-Tied Ribbon" 

Another idea is to incorporate holly into your floral decorations.  It is a subtle touch that brings the warmth and brilliance of the red berries and deep green leaves without overdoing it.  Try using a simple invitation with a matching, but not overbearing theme:

ZMW1-53 - "Happy Scroll"

A great way to bring in the Fall season is to focus on the colors.  Bring in one of the warm golds, bronzes, oranges, or reds you find in Autumn leaves without making your whole event centered around fall colors. Pine cones are a great touch for floral arrangements, too.  Match your invitations in a subtle way as well:

  LFS-100 - "Green and White Elegence Tall Pocket" 

 ZMW1C-12 - "Woodland"

Are you ready for another Holiday Season?  Picking out the right card for your family, friends, and co-workers can be a hassle that adds nothing but stress to your already overgrown list of things to do.  This year, I will be sending out Thanksgiving cards instead of the traditional Christmas cards!  It’s a great way to stand out from the crowd, celebrate in a fresh and still festive way, or even avoid religious conflicts in a more professional environment.  After all, everyone, regardless of our unique backgrounds, practices, and beliefs, should spend a moment reflecting on the positive things to be thankful for in life.  Wishing others a Happy Thanksgiving is a perfect fit for both the formal business setting and the intimate setting of family and close friends.  Show your gratitude for the people in your life in a way that is sure to touch their hearts.  Here are a few of my personal favorites to get your creative leaves falling...

It is getting to be that time again.  The end of the year is such a busy holiday season, but it is also a great time to reinvigorate your relationship with your customers.  Whether you are a small business or a large business, your goal is to create a lasting relationship with your customers.  Not every contact with your customers needs to be a sales pitch, it makes a great gesture when you reach out to your customers just to let them know that you appreciate their business.  Here at ImpressInPrint.com we do everything we can to show our appreciation. 

A time honored way to show your appreciation to your customers is to send them a beautiful card during the holiday season, wishing them the best in the year to come.  However, if you want to stand apart from the rest you might consider a less traditional approach by sending them a Happy Halloween or Happy Thanksgiving card.  We work closely with hundreds of businesses each year of all sizes to make sure they send out the perfect invitations and cards to their customers.  It is always prudent to start early to make sure you have plenty of time to personalize your cards, finalize the customer list, address your envelopes and get them delivered.  Trying to locate and send out a few hundred holiday cards in the middle of December can really put a dent in your shopping schedule!  We have a huge selection of business holiday cards this year and our staff is here to help.  If you are busy running your business, let us personalize, stuff, address, and ship your holiday cards for you.  Just ask a member of our team for more information.  Here are just a few of the holiday cards we are offering this year...this is just a sample of the more than 1000 cards that are available to you.

We can easily add your business logo to almost any invitation, and if you are looking for something truly unique this season ask about our custom embossing and foiling options!
