Unsurprisingly, the artist’s Instagram is one of the most picturesque accounts on social media. Fishwick alternates between her calligraphy nib and paintbrush from her Charlottesville, Virginia studio, surrounded by old ivy-colored cedars, oak trees, hydrangea, boxwoods, and magnolias. After purchasing her first calligraphy set in Paris, she trained with Masters Calligraphers, including the Chief White House Calligrapher Pat Blair. In addition to nature, Fishwick finds inspiration from 19th and 20th-century decorative arts, vanitas painting, goth music, fairy tales, and fashion. Each virtual invite features a medley of nature motifs-a welcome contrast from this digital age. And although the collection features beautiful save the date and wedding invitation options, you can also send out cards for bachelorette parties, birthdays, bridal showers, and other small gatherings…pretty much any event! Choose between the mystical woodlands-influenced print of “Blueberry Bramble,” the flora-and-fauna of the sea in the “Oceana” pattern, and more to send to your guests. Ideal for remote rosé toasts and Zoom ceremonies, the hand-illustrated invites are available in more than a dozen designs. The invitation collection features Fishwick’s ethereal calligraphy and layered collage designs. This month they released a collaboration with Stephanie Fishwick, a calligrapher, collage artist, illustrator, and Over The Moon vendor. I did send a card to my lovely mum who has been really wonderful to me lately when I’ve needed an extra bit of TLC.For those looking to keep the elegance of a paper invitation suite but want to switch to the ease of a digital, eco-friendly version, Paperless Post has just upped the ante. In fact, any situation where you are sending off a large number of cards or invitations, this option is practical and eco-friendly, and very likely cheaper too. I also have distant family that send a family newsletter around each Christmas to let us know that they are all still alive and kicking and I think this site would make it more fun. However, I am one of the few of my friends that persists on sending Christmas cards each year and this site is perfect. This wouldn’t replace birthday cards for me as I enjoy picking out the glittery and laser-cut cards too much.
There is an option to get them printed but for individual cards, this is fairly pricey. Since the popularity of wedding sites is increasing, this is an ideal way to save the time and effort and compile everything into one place. The invitations also have a host of other options, allowing you to link to a website, directions, a wish-list, and leave messages or respond to extra questions (which meal option for example).
It turns out that the average couple in the US spend $443 (£348.4) on invitations alone so cost-wise this is well worth it. This brought my total for invitations to £180. Having a bit of a google for averages, I guessed I’d invite 200 people. The coins vary in price depending on how many you buy from 20p per coin for 20 coins (sorry if you’re working in dollars!), to just 6p for 5000 coins. I had a go at creating my ideal wedding invitation (I know – a bit keen since I don’t have a boyfriend at the moment…). There are a huge number of exquisite designs with plenty of options for customisation. Personally however, I think it comes into its own with the paid-for options. They mostly relate to events that you might use a card for, so depending on what your theme was, you might like to use one. Some are really lovely, although a number remind me of clip-art the images are largely cartoons or line drawings of random objects. There are also lots of logo images you can chose from, adapting the colour and size to fit your design. For this one I uploaded my own image for the ba ckground and altered the font style, colour, and size. The site is really easy to use and has a huge number of options for customisation. I started playing around to see what I could make for free.
#Cost paperless post upgrade#
There are a bunch of free templates which you can customise with colours and images but you can pay for “coins” to upgrade to premium options.
The site allows you to create online cards and invitations, which you can send via email. I hadn’t heard of the site before but as soon as I saw the webpage I knew it was my kind of thing. A few days ago I was contacted about the site Paperless Post and asked to review it.
