1) What inspired you to start I Do Paper?

My inspiration for starting I Do Paper came from my own wedding experience. I found it very difficult to find affordable quality wedding programs that reflected our personal style. I wanted the ability to have a voice in the design and format of our programs. Programs are one of the first things guests see when they arrive at a ceremony, so I wanted something that reflected the tone of our wedding. After a lot of searching the web, I came up empty handed when looking for a company that allowed the client to have a say in the design. This experience inspired me to offer something different to the wedding world, a customized program where the bride and groom have the ability to reflect their own personal style!

(2) What items will be offered on I Do Paper?

I am excited to announce that we will be offering a wide variety of ceremony programs in unique styles and designs. We offer booklet, square, fan (for those hot summer days), tier, and tri-fold styles. The bride and groom will have the ability to choose from already created designs or they can work with a stationary designer to create something different and unique. We also offer custom designed table numbers and escort cards. In the future we will be extending our services to specialty invitations for bridal showers, bridal luncheons, bachelorette parties, etc.!

(3) What are you most looking forward to with the launch of your company?

Custom designing programs for brides and grooms and their many unique styles!

(4) What advice can you give to brides in regards to wedding stationary?

Be you! Have your stationary reflect your style and the style of your wedding, whether it’s sophisticated, laid back, or a mixture of both!

(5) List 3 wedding websites or blogs (other than your own) that you'd recommend:

1. I Do Originals (of course!) our sister site for personalized wedding decor & accessories

2. I Do Monogram (again, of course!) our other sister site featuring exquisite embroidery

3. Ella Scott Jewels for the most beautiful hand-made jewelry

(6) Anything else you'd like to share?

I'm excited to now be a regular blogger on this blog! All this week I'll be featuring some designs that you can expect to see once the website launches (on Mon. Aug. 24th!) so make sure to check back to get a sneak peek of what’s to come! Also, head on over to the site www.iDoPaper.com to see a slideshow of a few of the designs that will be offered once the site launces!

Just ordered the cutest Christmas cards from Tiny Prints! They have the most adorable selection. If you're in need of Christmas cards definitely check them out... here are a few of my top picks for photo cards:
I ordered the bottom one with the most precious picture of my basset hound by our Christmas tree... can't wait to get them!

Paper Shouts

I love finding new stationary... and I just stumbled upon a winner! You've gotta check out Paper Shouts Inc. How cute is that name?! All their categories are so adorable. They have "Baby Shouts" "Wedding Shouts" "Holiday Shouts" etc. and everything they offer is very posh and trendy like this fun shower invite: And this pretty wedding invitation from their new couture line:

They even have adorable "Pet Shouts"- announcing when you get a new pet! How sweet is that?!

Bachelorette Party!

One of my friends (that's her on the right me on the left) just had her bachelorette party last night and we had a great time! This weekend set off a month long of wedding related event weekends- bachelorette party, my cousin's wedding next weekend, a friend's wedding the following weekend, then sister's shower & bachelorette party... four weekends in a row of weddings and pre-wedding parties... I'm in heaven!I have to admit, I've had a blast planning the showers for my sisters wedding. I loved picking out the invites, favors, and of course doing the decor. We already have one shower down and one more to go (which of course I'll be blogging about)... but what I'm really looking forward to is another bachelorette party! I got these adorable invitations from PolkaDotDesigns and a ton of fun little surprises from Bachelorette.com. I'm so excited for another girls night and I can't wait to have some serious fun with the Bride-to-Be!

Lots of Projects

As always we've been keeping busy with lots of projects. Here's some of our most recent work!

Happy April Fools!

I've been trying to think of a clever April Fool's trick I could play on everyone... but I'm just no good at playing tricks on people! Hopefully you all are coming up with fun pranks to pull :) Anyway, here's a little update on some of our latest projects- enjoy!

One year from today...

... my little sister will be getting married! And even better, this weekend the hubby and I will be heading up to PA for her engagement party! I'm so excited about it and I can't wait to spend time with her and the fam for the weekend. We had a ton of fun creating her engagment invites together- I designed, printed, and cut and then she assembled so it was definitely a team effort and they turned out great! To the right is a pic of the beautiful bride-to-be with her future groom.

August is full of weekend long events (engagement party, graduation, wedding, another wedding) so if you try to e-mail us over a weekend just know that we will get back to you during our normal business days (Monday-Friday)!

School's (almost) Out for Summer!

Just cause we can all use something to look at while we read, above are some of my most recent creations!

And now for a glimpse into my personal life: So as most of you know by now, my "real job" is a school counselor at an elementary school (well, 3 elementary schools actually) and iDoOriginals.com is my "fun job." I am so excited to say that in 2.5 days school is officially out for summer and I can begin focusing even more attention on all my lovely brides! I can't wait to spend the whole summer being crafty! YAY! I wish I could say that was all I was planning on doing, but the summer holds a lot:

- selling our house

- buying a brand new house (yippee!)

- nine birthdays

- two weddings

- an engagement party

- one graduation

- and a partridge in a pear tree

I can't wait for summer to officially begin! Oh and want some more good news? The great blog Weddings by Socialites recently blogged about us- what a nice honor!

Name that table!

Why just stick with boring old table numbers when you can personalize your tables with names that have meaning to you and your fiance? Choose anything from movies you've seen together to places you've traveled. So the question is... what should you name the tables? Start by thinking about where and how you met. Perhaps you met at college- you could name each table after a building on campus. When my hubby and I were deciding on what to name our tables it was pretty easy. We were both collegiate cheerleaders and met teaching cheerleading camps... so it was an obvious choice when we decided to use the name of co-ed cheerleading stunts as our table names. To go along with these, my lovely little sis came over and took pics of us doing each of the stunt to accompany the name. On the back of each card we wrote the story of how we met and how cheerleading brought us together. Our guests loved it and it was a wonderful way to put a personal touch at each table.


While naming tables can be a unique touch, it can also get confusing for your guests if they go looking for table "Torch" so be sure to add a number along with each table name so guests can still easily find their tables. To help our guests find their tables we used the wording:


Mr. and Mrs. John Doe

You are seated at Table 9: "Cupie"


Anyone else plan on using table names? Share your ideas!
