It’s taken us a month, but we’ve finally recovered from all the Royal Wedding excitement. Phew! While Will and Kate have been enjoying their honeymoon we’ve been celebrating some successes of our own. From new cards to new co-workers there’s been lots going on around the office and we’ve decided that what we want most is to share it with you.
From now on we’ll use this space to not only show you new products (some great cards are coming for the summer!) but to give you a bit more of a peek into our day-to-day. This could include notes on our hiring philosophies, discussion of the powerful software code it takes to make a site like ours, or just articles we’re talking about around the proverbial water cooler (actually, we have a real one). We hope you enjoy, and please let us know if there’s anything you’re curious about!
To start things off, we’d like you to meet Mochi, our resident office puppy. We try to spend only half of our days hugging her.
On April 29th, 2011 Prince William will marry Kate Middelton, and there’s nothing you can do about it!
Well, actually, there is. The Royal Wedding will be broadcast to over 1 billion people and you can host a party to watch it with your ladies in waiting. Switch on the telly, turn on your royal pretensions, open a bottle of champagne and bless the Royal Crown for an excuse to get boozed at breakfast. Even if you’re green with envy, remember that divorce has been sanctioned for British Royals since the time of Henry VIII – so there may be a chance for you yet.
Authentic
This invitation is an exact replica of the actual piece sent to Will and Kate’s guests. We even borrowed her majesty’s monogram for the design (just don’t tell the Lord Chamberlain).
Demure
English weddings are traditionally held in the morning with lunchtime receptions. This invitation might suit your needs if you plan to host a breakfast with a full English tea service.
Dreamy
For those of us older than 30, it is hard to forget the image of Diana and Charles driving away from their wedding ceremony in a gilded royal coach.
Fabulous
The queen has quite a stash of tiaras, which she generously lends out to her family on special occasions. This invitation is based on Queen Alexandra’s Rundell diamond Tiara from the 1860s – one of the most spectacular in our opinion.
Happy Friday!
It’s been another busy week at Paperless Post with Saint Patrick’s Day greetings and preparations for beautiful springtime weather. St. Patrick’s Day rolled around greener than ever this year, and we hope you celebrated it whole-heartedly! There were several Saint Patrick’s Day parties, highlighting the luck of the Clover Field and the iconic nature of the Irish Terrier!
Spring has sprung and we’ve seen a peak in colorful and patterned Paperless Post cards! The cream background and soft blush accents make Blossom a traditional favorite for classic invitations and announcements. If you’re bubbling at the thought of Spring and warm weather, Tulip is the perfect card for you with it’s bright colors and clean design. For something less flowery and more funky, try Lantern, an energetic invitation that pairs wonderfully with any script font.
Happy Friday!
For the first time since Valentine’s Day, novelty cards have been among the week’s most popular! If you’re having a swanky New York City themed party, Manhattan Skyline is a classic choice topped with a stylish skyline design. If your crowd is a bit younger or fantasy-oriented, Girl Castle is a playful card — perfect for children’s birthday party and casual play-date invitations.
This week’s popular square and rectangle cards offer a similar balance between classic and playful cards. Firework is an explosively beautiful card for adult cocktail or birthday party invitations. But wait — the adults aren’t having all the fun with Paperless Post cards this week. Balls & Bats and Superhero are full of fun and energy for your next children’s birthday party or sporting event invitations.
St. Patrick’s day isn’t an American holiday, but in celebrating it, some of us get to express what it means to be American. In the first half of the 1800s, Irish immigrants comprised one third of all newcomers to America, and by 1860, 3.5MM Irish people had settled in the United States. Since that era, Irish-American culture has been an important thread in our society and on March 17th it is our tradition to celebrate this by wearing green and getting sauced.
If you’re hosting a Saint Patrick’s day celebration or just observing the holiday, don’t forget the basics:
St. Patrick’s Day celebrates the life of the patron saint of Ireland, which is why we wear green clothes and some of us drink green beer. In the spirit of green, the Shamrock is a three-leaf clover which has come to symbolize among other things the the Holy Trinity, the Boston Celtics and Ireland itself. The Celtic Harp is a symbol of the Irish nation and has emblazoned their coinage from the time of Henry VIII all the way down to the modern day Euro. Beer is another classic Irish staple. Guinness is an Irish stout that originated in 18th Century Dublin. Since then, it’s grown to vast popularity in part due to its creative advertising campaigns. The advertising posters of John Gilroy in 1930’s and 40’s helped establish an aesthetic that is still attached to the brand — this playful “Irish Terrier” invitation pays homage to Girloy’s style.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Happy Friday!
It’s been another busy week at Paperless Post as our users prepare for beautiful Springtime weather, Mardi Gras celebrations and monumental family changes. Excited Mardi Gras celebrators picked Celebration Mask to invite their friends and family to a Fat Tuesday bash. Expecting families took to Elephants, this week’s most popular Baby card, to announce family additions and Baby Shower plans.
In general, Paperless Post cards have grown more colorful as the weather improves! If you’re preparing a Springtime Garden Party, use one of this week’s favorites, Poppies or Forsythia!
