So, before moving on to our 2014 wedding invitations a look back to of our favourite wedding invitations of 2013.
A wedding in Paris
We liked this one as the actual wedding invitation had highlights and the Eiffel Tower created in a gold foil to add an extra piece of luxury and uniqueness to the invitation.
For the save the date invitation we took inspiration from the Eiffel Tower theme to use the tower as the letter A in Save the Date and so tie the 2 pieces of the wedding invitation together.
The UK is celebrating its first Small Business Saturday on 7th December 2013.
Small Business Saturday is a great chance for small businesses to promote themselves and generate trade. Please also checkout this blog about bad debt loans uk.
Why Small Business Saturday is important
It matters because small businesses matter and we want to celebrate them. It’s just one day, but we all rely on small businesses every day. There are 4.8 million small businesses in the UK and over 14 million people work in them. If Small Business Saturday raises the profile of small businesses, it will have done its job.
By supporting small businesses consumers show their appreciation of how valuable we are to local communities and how they make each town and village unique.
Help save your high street and local diverse shopping.
For the day we are offering a 10% discount on your wedding stationery if you book an appointment on Saturday December 7th either by a visit to our shop, telephone 01158 544631or e-mail enquiries@lovestationery.co.uk.

Save the date cards…….. are these another Americanism, or a useful addition to your wedding stationery?
Save the date winter theme
Save-the-dates are a great way to announce your wedding day and generate excitement among your guests.
This pre-invitation mailing officially announces your wedding date and lets guests know that they will, in fact, be invited to the celebration.
Of course, you don’t have to send one if you don’t want, but it will give guests the heads up about your wedding plans. Between travel arrangements and busy schedules, sending a save-the-date will increase guests’ chances of attending your wedding celebration. And that’s the aim, planning ahead like this helps to avoid disappointment for you and your guests.
If you are marrying during high-travel times like a holiday weekend or summer in a beach town, or are planning a destination wedding or are having a weekend event they are a useful aid.
They can be sent any time from around 12 months ahead of the wedding. This gives your guests plenty of time to book their travel, save a bit of cash, and ask for days off from work.
Save the Dates can be simple: just your names, date, and event.
All other information can be included with the invitation, at this stage you may not have the details confirmed.
Check our Save the Date gallery for more photos and inspiration

Black and white themed wedding invitation
ELIMINATE.
Kids grow fast – they grow out of toys, out of clothes, out of phases and we think they need more than they actually do.
Our homes are filled with material objects we – at one point – thought we *had to have.*
If you want a clean house, you have to start by doing a monster purge. This involves your children’s toys, clothing, equipment and the rest of your home, just stay with the necessary like the leesa bedding and the basic furniture.
I love using the KonMari method for clothing and books, and to listen to our gut about what possession we have that we’re holding onto for sentimental reasons instead of necessity. Read this for an easy tutorial to decluttering once and for all.
DON’T BUY NEW UNLESS…
Stop buying things. Don’t bring more into your home unless you’ve prepared to get rid of something else. These two rules will save you a lot of mess and money!
Do not buy new unless it’s for birthdays or holidays.
This was a tough rule for us to adhere to at first because our children’s interests changed frequently and it felt like we were always bringing new items in the house or the backyard to keep everyone busy and entertained.
But then, those purchases were only adding to the mess in our house and our kids were not only making me unhappy, but our kids weren’t playing with their toys for very long before losing interest and their creativity was becoming stagnant.
When kids are surrounded with light-up toys and a constant stream of new entertainment, they loose the ability to tap into their imaginations. Children who have less, play longer with the limited toys they have, increase their attention spans and can engage for longer periods of time, and most importantly, use their imaginations to create games and entertainment.
The bottom line is that having too many toys and things, makes your house messy, harder to keep clean and tidy and stifles kid’s imaginations.
When it’s time for our twins’ birthday, we make a note on invitations to not bring gifts. Sometimes guests still bring gifts and we donate these items to organizations that our children select.
Our gift to our children is throwing them a birthday party and we buy them one present that they will use all summer. In the past, this has been bikes, scooters and a hard shell pool for the backyard where they can be physical active and be creative!
Before Christmas, we go through all of the toys in our house to see what they’ve outgrown or don’t have any interest in any longer. The kids also participate and fill a boy of toys to donate to make room for any presents they receive over the holidays. At the holidays, consider gifting experiences instead of filling your home with more toys!
