The Secret Is You Got To Coordinate!!!


To me, one of the funniest scenes is when Pops from the movie Boomerang talks about coordinating. I've preached to my brides his same philosophy...THE SECRET IS YOU GOT TO COORDINATE!

It doesn't stop at the invitations, move on to every detail of the wedding as if it was every opportunity to coordinate. Menus, Programs, signs, water bottles, linens, dresses, invitations, and more.
I had the opportunity to attend a beautiful wedding reception at the Ritz Carlton in Laguna Beach this weekend. The grounds were simply spectacular.
Paper Crew supplied the coordinating stationery starting at the ceremony with the sewn program books.
Then off to the ceremony where the guests pick their name from the table of escort envelopes. Most of you refer to this more as "place cards", but actually, Escort Cards are the cards that have your name and tell you which table to sit at. Place Cards are the cards on the table telling you which EXACT seat to sit at. BUT, Escort Envelopes are mini envelopes with your guests names printed on the front of the envelope and enclose a card with the table number inside.

This is perfect for brides that are not 100% on the seating arrangements and need the option to be able to switch tables in the last minute without compromising the custom look and feel. The mini escort envelopes are not sealed and the back top flap is used as a tent to be easily displayed.
Then to the table...unfortunately I only have one blurry picture taken with an iPhone but as you can see EVERYTHING coordinates. Table names instead of table numbers, the napkin tuck menu, and the charity card all carry the same design that was presented to the guests on their invitations. The bride and groom named their tables after all the places that they wanted to travel to together. The sweetheart table was Florence, Italy, where they are going for their honeymoon. Another helpful tip when using table names vs. table numbers is to include a seating chart of the reception area showing where each table is located. That way your guests get to their seats with ease and without having to go up to each table to view the table card.
We at Paper Crew feel that once it's on paper, it's official. Why not frame it? We make collages of all your stationery pieces, from the save the dates to the favor tag that was on a chocolate bar. It makes such a wonderful addition to your wall in the home that you and your new spouse will share.All the stationery that is mentioned above and many more coordinating ideas are all available at Paper Crew. We design, print and create on all things paper. Call us for a consultation or visit our store at 3920 Atlantic Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90807.

NEW PROGRAM BOOKS with sewn binding!!!

I'm so excited to share the programs that my girlfriend and I just completed tonight.
She's getting married this weekend with color combinations of orange and blue. I really can't wait to share with you all the wonderful coordinates that match. Like the escort card envelopes, table name cards, and menus. PAPER CREW did for her wedding.

Program books feature an Orange cover that pops with the blue thread. These adorable little booklets are 6 pages and a custom tag saying, "true love" sewn along with the bind. Just love everything about it. Who's next? Let's do this same theme with Damask fabric and hot pink or apple green thread! So giddy thinking just about it.
Gonna have to bust out the sewing machine and come up with more things to sew on paper! Paper Crew has done it again!

Beautiful Damask Themed Wedding in Temecula, California

Christine and Stefan were married in a beautiful vineyard in Temecula, California. Their Damask Themed wedding fit right in. Accents of a magical anthracite blue completed her look. Photography by Diana M. Lott Photography


My Creative Wedding makes custom designed damask signs to help direct their guests.


Loving the details on the napkins and how perfect the damask menus looked tucked in them. The pillow favor boxes with metallic damask labels were just the icing on the cake!
My Creative Wedding was also able to do hotel welcome gable boxes and water bottle labels and so much more. Hopefully more pictures to come!
