Here is a new modern save the date design I came up with. It is printed on a 4x6 card and mailed in an A6 envelope. Let me know if you would like me to make this for you!! I can easily give you a quote for the complete package.

Invite Order Updates.

First- Mail out the 10 blank envelopes to Mena that I found in my printer! I counted over 130 so she has all that she ordered but I meant to put extras in I just thought they had all printed!! They will be in the mail tomorrow!

1. Cousin's Invites- The bride and groom decided on option number 2 for the invite. They also decided to have inner and outer envelopes. This will be my first time doing liners (I bought them already made from envelopperinc.com). I can't wait for these to be done and out the door. They are going to look so pretty!

2. Rainie Invites- Deposit paid, waiting on more information to finalize proof and start making her 130 panel pocket invitations!

3. Dizzzlle Invites- Deposit paid, waiting on more information to finalize proof and start making her 125 pocketfold invitations. Also since my computer decided to save her file in some random place that I cannot find, I am waiting on a picture to recreate the sample I made for her!!

So far 9 out of 10 samples out has turned into a deposit and invitation order!! Thank you girls for loving the samples and getting invitations through me!!!

Happy Holidays to all my readers!! Just to let you know my schedule... I will not be returning to doing work until January 5th. You can put your orders in on etsy, or email me and I can send you a paypal bill that monday.

Thank you for all my customers for an amazing year! I have been fortunate to work with some amazing brides (and grooms!). I hope everyone the best in the new year!

New Invitation Design-The Mackenzie

US Postal Service and Paypal

I am beyond furious right now. I was crying but now I am just angry. I sent three boxes out this week for invite orders. I get home today from christmas shopping and one of Mena's boxes is sitting on my porch with the request for 3.15 cents more to pay. I go to the post office and stand in line for 45 minutes to find out that there are two different pay grades for shipping flat rate boxes (large and small). But Paypal only has one option (FLAT RATE BOX), it doesn't distinguish through large or small. The best part is that the other two boxes may just turn up on my porch monday or tuesday and then have to get resent. They don't have the capabalities of finding exactly where the box is. I calmly ask what the hell the tracking number is for, and they say it is just so they know when things are mailed and delivered nothing in between.

I contact Paypal and after being on hold over over an 1 hr, they say that is what they received from USPS and they can do nothing about it. She said that yes it is incorrect and that she would send it to a higher person to get it changed ont their website.

Let me ask you, how the hell are you supposed to know if it is for the small flat rate box or the large flat rate box:

Jennifer's Panel Pocket Invites

Jennifer was the one who ordered a panel pocket sample. When I went to make her sample, it bothered me that the directions card and RSVP card were just floating around.... so came the panel pocket!!

I have just finished her order and it is in the mail today. Here are a couple pictures. Once again it is taken with my iPhone, so it's not the best quality!!

Zazzle Stamp

Here is the stamp:

I Was Featured!!!!

I am so excited that Bree featured me on her wedding planners blog! I made Bree custom printed napkins back a couple months ago. Her idea was to put 4 fun facts on the napkins. We did four colors that matched her wedding. Between her napkins and Jessica Lynn's napkins, it's a toss up for which one is my favorite!

Catherine's Review

One of my favorite brides to work with has left me the most amazing review on Wedding Wire.

There are NOT enough stars to rank the FABULOUS service I received from Christine of Designs by Tine...my ONLY regret is NOT finding her in the beginning of my wedding planning process. She would have saved me so much time and money!!Christine did many elements for my wedding reception and out-of-town welcome bags. She was AWESOME in every regard...her responsiveness, her creativity and the great QUALITY of her work exceeded all my expectations!! Plus, the value for the items I received were great. I cannot tell you how many of our guests commented on all the elements that Christine produced.Christine is a MUST have for ANY bride planning her wedding!!! I cannot say enough great things about this vendor...she is a SHINING star!!! - Catherine

It has been an honor to work wtih Catherine. We started communication in September and were working on projects all the way up to the week of her wedding. I can't wait to see her pictures! I am going to miss the daily emails from her with a new project!!

Reviews

Thank you to all of my costumers. I continue to have people contact me becuase of recommendations from previous brides! I know many of you have reviewed me on etsy but I was wondering if you could also review me on Wedding Wire. Just three of them get me the Rated emblem, which would be amazing!!

Thanks,
Tine

Congrats Erica!

Erica sent out her invites this week! I just did the design and they did all the hardwork!!! I am so happy with how the final product looks! Erica and Anthony did an amazing job!! She also used one of her free monograms for the closure of the pocket!

Amazing job Erica and Anthony! Less than two months for you too! Congrats!!
