Today is 11-11-11…But Today is Something Else Too

It’s all over the news today. It’s the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the eleventh year of the century. It’s an event that won’t be repeated for another 100 years. Apparently it’s a lucky day if you follow one of several philosophies that claim the number one is a sign of luck for starting a business or a relationship and that double ones represent opening a portal to a new era. With all those ones and double ones, today must be a lucky one for sure! That would explain the huge surge of weddings taking place today, a Friday, not your normal day of the week for getting married. Indeed your friends here at 123Print did see quite a few wedding invitations including this very day pass through…

Dance Down the Aisle to Wedding Bliss

Fun and Humor, Wedding & Family, Wedding Lounge

One of my youngest sisters (I have two) recently got engaged, and I think my other sister and myself are contemplating what the wedding will be like more than the engaged sister. The engaged sister isn't super girly and is incredibly laid back, but she can also be a control freak. She has to have everything a certain way, and I am 96% sure that trying to find the perfect wedding ensemble is going to be what takes the longest. That's not to say that that is a bad thing. I've yet to be engaged so all of my opinions on wedding planning are based solely off of my friends planning their weddings, and wedding shows on TLC. It seems to me (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong)…

7 Common Errors Found on Business Cards – Or Any Customizable Product, Really

Everything Else, Expert Advice, Fun and Humor, Small Business, Wedding & Family

Let’s get one thing straight. Sometimes our brains work faster than our fingers when it comes to typing. You know your phone number like the back of your hand. You know how to spell your name faster than someone who doesn’t have your name, and you know all of the contact information for your business and can rattle it off at the speed of light. None of that is an issue. The issue becomes when your fingers are dancing across the keyboard and you get lost in that clackity clack sound of the keys and make a bunch of ridiculous typos. A lot of times, our Customer Care Representatives get calls about how someone received their business cards or wedding invitations and their name is spelled incorrectly. I’d like to…

Wedding Planning: 11 Little Things to Remember

Wedding & Family, Wedding Lounge

While wedding planning should be one of the most exciting time in a bride-to-be’s life, I imagine it’s stressful. I was getting overwhelmed just doing research for this post. There’s so much to organize, reserve, plan, and create when it comes to a wedding, but don’t get so caught up in the invitations, the dress, the flowers, and the cake… that you forget those extra little things that really make the day a success. Try not to forget the following 11 things: 11.) Look into wedding insurance and decide if it’s right for you. Wedding insurance is exactly what it sounds like. Inexpensive policies that will cover things like if your wedding gets postponed because of bad weather, or your officiant just doesn’t show up. 10.) Send out Save the…

You Are Cordially Invited…to Scan This QR Code

Wedding & Family, Wedding Lounge

[caption id="attachment_450" align="alignleft" width="132" caption="Bet You Can't Guess Where This Will Take You!"][/caption] By now just about everyone has seen those funky little white squares with random patterns of black speckles and dots. They're on web sites, on coupons, in ads and on packages. They're called quick response, or QR, codes. Because nearly any kind of data or information, including links to websites and even online maps, can be encoded on them and most any recently-made smartphone with a camera and the proper app can decode them; they're taking the world by storm. What's even cooler is that with a quick search for "QR Code generator" you can find a plethora of free tools to make your own QR codes that can be imported into anything you can drop a picture into! Some folks…

Harry Potter and the Elaborate Wizard Wedding

Everything Else, Wedding & Family, Wedding Lounge

Here at 123Print, I am the resident Harry Potter nerd. I take great pride in this title, despite the fact that I turn about 1000 shades of red whenever it’s mentioned. In case you’ve been living under a rock the very last Harry Potter film (Deathly Hallows Part 2) came out in July and has made approximately $500 billion. That number is only slightly exaggerated. As a diehard Potter fan, knowing that there is no longer anything Potter related to look forward to was quite depressing. I figured I’d look forward to taking my long-awaited pilgrimage to the Holy Land for Potter fans, Universal Studio’s The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, but then after that it would just be waiting for Deathly Hallows Part 2 to be released on DVD.…

One Man’s Wedding Lessons Learned – The Wedding Checklist Edition

Wedding & Family, Wedding Lounge

If you’re anything like me you have a system of staying organized and reminding yourself of what you need to do, that while defying all forms of logic and common sense, seems to miraculously work for you. If you’re not like me you’re probably one of those types who abide religiously by the teachings of some efficiency guru and you probably aren’t even reading this. While a bizarre hodge-podge of Post-it Notes, Outlook reminders, text messages, emails, notes and calendars on your phone, scribbles on scraps of paper and the backs of envelopes and notebooks may somehow keep your family fed, the bills paid on-time and all of the work tasks unexplainably on-track; take it from someone who’s been there and done that, you need good, simple organization if you’re…

One Man’s Wedding Lessons Learned – The Wedding Invitation Wording Edition

Wedding & Family, Wedding Lounge

I’m going to cut right to the chase on this one. Trust me, you don’t want people to look at your wedding invitations and either laugh or be baffled by the wording. You also don’t want to put yourself through the torture of coming up with your own wedding invitation wording from scratch. Sure, you can go really casual and just wing it, put whatever you want on the invitation and do what feels right. That’s a great way to go if you’re really free-spirited, you’re having a totally non-traditional wedding and you’re either not going to get, or don’t care if you get, unsolicited advice and input from family and friends. But let’s face it; this isn’t an invitation to a barbeque party or a kegger at the frat…
