I added the wedding invites I recently created to etsy. I never have much luck selling on etsy though. Any advice?

Wedding Invitations: Custom = Personal
Friday, June 19th, 2009If you are a paper or design junkie, you probably know this invitation. It has been making its way around the blogosphere at lightning speed (after lying in hiding for about six months). I had to include it because it is rare that I am blown away by an invitation. This one did it for me so I have to pay homage.
Take a look and you’ll see why it is such a sensation.

Moral of the story… Custom = Personal = Oh, so inviting!

Baby Shower Invites
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009
Just love these french circus baby shower invites I saw on the Hostess with the Mostess blog this morning. What a cute theme and the color combination is awesome. Jen is so talented.
Wedding Shower
Monday, June 15th, 2009Yesterday was my sister’s wedding shower. The weather was perfect and we had a great turn out. Just wanted to share a few of the details with you. Thanks for reading!
I believe I posted the invite collection already on here but wanted to show you again. This was the beginning of the theme of the tropical shower and wedding. Some of the paper products came from Paper Source.
We did a brunch buffet. The buffet included bagels, eggs, hash browns, danishes, ham, yogurt, muffins, vegetable pizza and banana bread.
A friend of mine made a beautiful cake that resembled the shower invitation design. It was delicious and I was very happy with how it came out.
To decorate the tent and outdoors I made a few Pom-Poms. These were so easy to create. I’ll probably hang them in my office now. Not sure what else to do with them and I didn’t want to throw them away.
Some time before the shower I had the idea to make candles as favors. Before starting these I thought it was going to be very difficult and time consuming. However, it was easy and fun and I thought they turned out great. All the materials to make the candles came from Candle Science.
The tables needed some decorations so I bought Blumeboxes and filled them with carnations from Stems. I love Blumeboxes. This was my first time using these but they are great. From a distance they look ceramic but they are cardboard. They are very affordable and look great. Blumeboxes are available in many different colors and styles.
This isn’t the best photo of the garland I ordered but it was very pretty. It came from the etsy shop of Kate Greiner. They are little pieces of round paper that is hand painted and sewn together.
Table Numbers
Thursday, June 11th, 2009
Table numbers are a fun way to show your personal style at a wedding reception or party. The beauty of table numbers is they create a big impact for a nominal price. Depending on the size of your celebration, most likely you will need a small number of cards, making a table numbers an affordable way to indulge your paper cravings.
Enjoy this sampling from some of my favorite Etsy sellers.
