One of the cooler fashion week invitations this season comes courtesy of 3.1 Phillip Lim. We did a little Photoshop work to obscure the rsvp info (he's in the Bryant Park tents, part of the official Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week program). The notable detail work seen here is that the card stock was run through a sewing machine to create the red, ribbon-esque pattern. We think we can even make out marks left by the feed dogs. It's simple and elegant, exactly what we expect from Phillip Lim. Maybe red pops of color will be part of this season's motif?

Exquisite Corpse is a type of art exercise with several contributors who know nothing of each other's work. It's like folding a paper into thirds, with three people each drawing a head, torso or legs. The result usually is some alien or oddity. We used to play during study hall.

The fashion week invite from Band of Outsiders and Boy is a digital image of mail. We love the line, show above, "You should totally come." Best idea we've heard all week. We'll totally be there, to the max extreme. Our soundtrack suggestion: "Return to Sender" by Elvis.

Fergie Ferg is a little crazy. She rose from the ranks of Disney Mouseketeers, only to pee herself onstage at the height of her fame. So when someone mentions the word, "wacky" in regards to her wedding details, we can't say we're shocked.

We love all of the amazing independent designers out there. In order to find out more about just what makes all of these creative types tick, we present to you an ongoing segment called Indie Designer Interviews.

Love beautifully wrapped gifts and gorgeous invites? Then you're going to love today's featured designer, Cathe Huynh-Sison of Feterie - Modern Stationery and Bespoken Lovelies. These papers, greeting cards and invites are lovely alright, and they're sure to put the perfect finishing touch on your celebration.

One of the best things about a wedding is all of the cool paper products you need to order: invitations, response cards, maps, save-the-dates, announcements, thank you notes...the list goes on and on. Now that digital printing is so accessible, sites like Ink and Paper Design let you easily and affordably customize an entire set of wedding stationery.

You start by picking the invitation template that complements your wedding theme, or creating a completely custom design. Then you add on the items you want. Every design is available for every piece they sell, so you never suffer the disappointment of falling in love with a piece, only to find out it doesn't come in your color.



One of the best selling points of Ink and Paper Design is the selection of additional items you can get, like place cards, menus, and best of all (in our opinion) stickers.

Maybe we're stuck in the fourth grade, but we love stickers. They can turn any plain item into a completely customized, matching part of your theme. You can use them to seal your thank you cards, or to decorate your bedroom window. The Ink and Paper Design stickers come in square, round or diamond shapes, taking the whole "choice" thing to a new high. And did we mention the magnets?

It's almost enough to make us wish we were getting married all over again!

Summertime around here means fun, fabulous parties. We love throwing impromptu get-togethers, but with Memorial Day and the Fourth of July coming up, not to mention weddings, bachelorette parties, baby showers, housewarmings, and more, we have the opportunity to plan ahead. And if we can plan ahead, you can bet your ass we're going to send out some seriously stylish invitations!

I'm a big fan of all of the amazing independent designers out there. In an effort to get inside the mind of the indie designer and find out just what makes all of these creative types tick, I present to you an ongoing segment I call Indie Designer Interviews.

Spring means babies, right? What better way to announce the birth of your new bundle of joy than with a one-of-a-kind custom photo birth announcement? That's just the sort of thing that today's featured designer Jennifer Hickey creates at her company, Apple Blossom Prints.

Tell us a little more about what your company does. Apple Blossom Prints is a photo announcement, card and invitation company specializing in traditional, whimsical and modern photo birth announcements, holiday cards and other photo stationary. My designs capture the innocence of new baby and the whimsy of childhood. All of the designs are all fully customizable and range from the simple and bold to ornate and elegant.

At Apple Blossom Prints the design options are as endless as the customer's style, taste and imagination. I create the designs using bright colors, bold prints, a little bit of whimsy and a touch of tradition. I like color combinations to be upbeat and unique. Our photo cards are offered in a variety of printing choices including archival quality photo paper or heavy weight cardstock in glossy, matte or pearl/metallic finishes. Full color back-side printing offers even more design possibilities on cardstock photo cards.

Soon-to-be parents patiently wait 9 long months to see their baby's face. At Apple Blossom Prints, I want baby's introduction to family and friends to be just as memorable and beautiful as the first time they looked into those eyes. Apple Blossom Prints offers playfully simple ways to capture baby's firsts – from the first yawn to the first holiday.

The photo card process: Customers place all orders via the website where they select a design. Customers then submit photos and within 1-2 business days receive a photo card proof. At Apple Blossom Prints no change is too small. The photo card will go through as many revisions as necessary until the perfect design is achieved. Once the proof is approved the order ships with 4-5 business days. At Apple Blossom Prints customer satisfaction is priority and no order is complete until the customer is 100% satisfied the design is perfect.
