September Calendar is ready to download!

You'll notice this calendar is a little different than the previous months of 2009. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you probably noticed it got a face lift a few months back with my new branding. My new site will be up soon, so it's only right that the desktop calendars get a refresh too. Enjoy!

Marit Hanson Weddings is on vacation until September 6!

Thanks for stopping by! I will be on a much needed vacation, returning on September 6th. For those of you wanting an invitation/save the date quote, feel free to email me and I will get to it as soon as I return. If you would like to purchase a sample from my etsy store, I will mail them on September 8th (due to the Labor Day holiday!). I apologize for any inconvenience.

On a side note, I am sure many of you will be taking vacation this week as well. Vacations are a great time to get engaged, so keep me in mind. I'd love to create something to spread the word about your big day.

Something else to look forward to when I return next week is my new website! I am so excited to share it with everyone. It's been a work in progress for many months now, thanks to my amazing and talented boyfriend. I will continue to update my blog, you will be able to link to it easily from the new and improved www.marithanson.com.

Have a wonderful week!

New Invite: Art Deco!

You might remember my post a few weeks ago showing my new Art Deco style save the date, that comes in a neat little "matchbook." t

I just finished the matching invitation and I am so excited to show it to you! A layered effect is created by attaching a bold backer card to this invitation with matching brads. I hope that Janna and Jeremy love them as much as I do.

I will be on vacation August 29 - September 6!

Just a heads up, for those of you who are thinking about getting started on your wedding stationery. I will be out of town from August 29 to September 6, with little accessibility to email. Rest assured, your queries will be answered as soon as I return!

Custom Wrap Around Labels

Wrap around labels, as simple as they may be, are my favorite part of an invitation set. They are the icing on the cake– the thing that really brings it all together! I offer wrap around labels for every one of my designs...it's a Marit Hanson Weddings specialty!

How do they work? It's simple: the label wraps from the front of the envelope onto the back. The front contains a graphic from your invitation/save the date along with room for you to hand write the recipients address, or have me print them for you in a font that matches your wedding stationery! The label folds around to the back of the envelope to reveal your return address.

Need a favor?

My big thing with wedding favors, is that many people leave them behind. Or, they take them home never to see them again. Why not give them something that they will use. And use again. And again.



Reusable shopping bags come in a variety of colors and can be customized with your monogram, a graphic from your invitation or your names/wedding date. They're sure to be loved and reused by your guests.

The bag seen here has the graphic from my Art Deco save the date.
