Dress up your envelope!

I have mentioned before that I offer custom postage designs for all my invites. These personalized stamps are a really fun way to dress up your envelopes.


If you are curious, these stamps go on my "Ka-Bloom!" invitation set, seen here:


But, the fun does not stop there. If you are going to go all out, why not GO ALL OUT? In addition, I offer wrap around return address labels. How do they work? It's simple: the label wraps from the front of the envelope onto the back. The front contains a graphic and room for you to hand write the recipients address. It simply folds around to the back of the envelope to reveal your return address. I am pretty obsessed with these, not going to lie.



Don't let your wedding "brand" live within the envelope, bring it to the outside!

Be ready for 2010!

After many late nights, it's almost done!

Did I mention, that it's never to early to begin your Christmas shopping?

Follow Marit Hanson Weddings on Twitter!

I am now on twitter! For those of you who are on twitter regularly, but tend to check my blog from time to time--follow me. I will let you know when new posts are up, when new invite designs are posted and, of course, what I am up to.

If you are on twitter, you can follow me by clicking here or by clicking on that handy little widget in my sidebar.

The work has begun!

I've officially started the 2010 desktop calendar. I expect to have them ready in the next few months, plenty in time for Christmas! I am accepting pre-orders for them because I sold out last year. I'm going to order a bigger run this time around, but please send me and email if you would like to preorder!

Here is what my calendar looked like for 09'. The format is staying the same, but it will have new designs.

If you need a refresher, or are new to my stuff--the desktop calendar stands up on it's own in an acrylic case. Each month features one of my invitation designs. This year will feature some new designs and color schemes and will be the same price at last year ($15 +$2 shipping).

Here is a sneak peek at what is officially January:

Post a review on Yelp and get Notecards!

Have you worked with me before? If so, I'd LOVE to have your feedback posted on Yelp. Post a review and I will gladly send you a pack of notecards. Once you post your thoughts (all are welcome!), just send me your mailing address and I will drop your notecards in the mail.

If you are not familiar with Yelp.com, it is a GREAT resource to find good restaurants, hotels or businesses in your area or one that you will be visiting. My boyfriend and I use it every time we travel and it has been such a great resource to finding great local restaurants and businesses. Read reviews from people like you and me and write your own about your experiences!

Featured Testimonial: Elisa!

I worked with Elisa last year on her save the dates for her destination wedding. She loved them so much, that she decided to do her invites with me as well. You can read what she had to say about her save the dates here.

For her invitations, we did the Blooms and Stripes using her wedding palette. I love how they came out!

Other than the invitations, I did many other pieces for Elisa's wedding. She was kind enough to send me this photo:

Here's what Elisa had to say:
"Marit is simply the best! She designed our save-the-dates, invitations, programs, escort cards, dinner menus and thank-you note cards for our wedding. Everything was so well coordinated! I received many wonderful compliments. Marit is incredibly patient, understanding and reliable. She was a pleasure to work with via e-mail and made my life stress-free during the entire planning process. Marit's work is original, fresh and memorable. I have repeatedly told friends that I can not imagine why anyone would want to sit in a store for hours flipping through large, dated and oversized books of wedding invitations when you have Marit's creative vision and style to pull everything together for your big day! Now that we are married, I hate that I do not have an excuse to work with Marit and be apart of a fun process. (I am sure my mother and mother-in-law would say, "How 'bout a baby announcement by Marit"...eek!)"
