				<title>Saying Thanks!</title>

				<description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Saying "Thanks!"&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://beedesignz.webs.com/Pagebreakericon.gif" style="MARGIN: 8px; WIDTH: 106px; HEIGHT: 26px" class="fw_image_computer fwSizeProp"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Receiving gifts for your wedding is one of the many pleasures of hosting of a wedding celebration. Whether the gift is in the form of household goods, money or simply the presence of one's company on your wedding day, it is always important to thank your guests as soon as you can for their contribution towards your special day. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is nice and thoughtful to thank each guest by sending them a thank-you card. Your thank you cards should always be hand written. Traditionally, thank you cards/ letters were written by the bride but, there is no reason why the task can not be shared. Where possible, try to make each&amp;#160;card personal instead of sending out pre-printed letters to each guest with just a standard thank-you message on each. Guests will really appreciate the fact that you have made that extra effort! You could include in your&amp;#160;card an anecdote from the wedding day or perhaps a comment you heard from one of the guests or a funny story about something you noticed or saw on the day. You may also like to tell your guest a little about your honeymoon. Personalising your letter will prevent it from being a plain thank you leaving your recipient feeling that they are reading a mass-produced letter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If available, try to get thank you stationery which co-ordinates with your wedding invitations. Many wedding stationers supply thank-you cards which complement their wedding invitations theme. Alternatively, you could also invest in some quality heavy-weight writing paper or cards.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When writing your cards, try not to be too formal. Formality has its place in the wedding preparations and celebrations, but when it comes to thank you time, you should thank your guests in writing the way you would speak to them. If money or gifts were received, let the guest know what use you will be putting the money/ gift to. The giver will derive great comfort in knowing that their gift has been put to good use!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img width="400" src="http://www.bstudioweddinginvitations.com/IMG_5266.jpg" height="266" style="WIDTH: 172px; HEIGHT: 82px"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

				<title>Affordable Invitations</title>
				<author><name>B Studio Wedding Invitations</name></author>
				<link>http://www.bstudioweddinginvitations.com/apps/blog/show/1444363</link>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;Article by B Studio Wedding Invitations as seen on "Kiss the Bride" Wedding Directory &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;25 July 09&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://kissthebride.com.au/Articles/?p=406"&gt;http://kissthebride.com.au/Articles/?p=406&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="4" color="#ff00ff"&gt;Are you looking for Affordable Wedding Invitations?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this article I will share with you how you can get great looking wedding invitations without blowing your budget. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I'm sure that during your wedding planning, you have heard many people say "Your wedding day is a once in a lifetime event so you have to be prepared to spend to get the best!"&amp;#160; Well, only part of that statement is true- you should certainly get the very best however it doesn't necessarily have to cost the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here are some top tips for buying affordable invitations:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. &lt;strong&gt;Buy wedding invitations online&lt;/strong&gt;- Online stores which sell invitations are generally lower in cost than traditional printing houses as they don't have all the set-up costs associated with running a physical store and thus the savings are passed onto customers in the form of lower prices. Just because the wedding invitations online are cheaper doesn't mean they are of lesser quality. Quite the opposite. Look online now and you'll find that there are literally hundreds of different and unique designs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. &lt;strong&gt;Shop around and purchase samples&lt;/strong&gt;- Look at many websites before placing a full order. Purchase samples of all the wedding invitations you like so you can compare before finally make a decision on which one you want to order for your wedding. In your decision-making process, consider these important factors- Quality, Price, Service and Speed of delivery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. &lt;strong&gt;Take advantage of special offers and sales when available&lt;/strong&gt;. A good idea is to subscribe to the newsletters of your favourite wedding invitation providers. That way you will always be the first to know when a special promotion or offer is running.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. &lt;strong&gt;Keep it Simple!&lt;/strong&gt; When selecting a design, remember to keep it simple. Custom graphics, &amp;#160;coloured inks and large embellishments all increase the bottom line of your wedding invitations. Try to stick to one or two colours, and select a classic design that is clean and elegant. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. &lt;strong&gt;Think about your printing options&lt;/strong&gt; - The printing method you choose impacts the price, so go ahead and familiarise yourself with the common printing methods available today and their costs. The main types of printing used for wedding invitations are: Engraving, Thermography, Calligraphy, Offset printing and Laser printing. For example - Engraving, which results in raised print that is pressed through the back, is the most formal and elegant printing technique - but it will cost you. If your wedding budget is limited, laser printing is your least expensive option. It still looks great and saves you money at the same time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Good luck in your search for your perfect wedding invitations. All it takes is a little patience and research and you're on your way! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;img src="http://www.bstudioweddinginvitations.com/tulip_bstudio.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

				<title>Sample Invites! $2.50-$6.50</title>
				<author><name>B Studio Wedding Invitations</name></author>
				<link>http://www.bstudioweddinginvitations.com/apps/blog/show/1399872</link>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;A top tip I have for those on their wedding invitation search is to purchase samples of invitations and stationery you like. Buying samples will allow you to see exactly what you will be getting in terms of quality, so there are no nasty surprises later down the track.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At B Studio Wedding Invitations, we have a great service in place where &lt;strong&gt;we can send out samples of your favourite invitations without&amp;#160;any surcharges incurred.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All you need to do is select 1x the item you require in our online store, and&amp;#160;you will be charged the same price it would cost you to purchase them in bulk- no additional fee is required.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So if an invitation costs $5.00, all you need to pay is $5.00 for a sample and not $25 and upwards&amp;#160;as is the case on some other websites. &amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As &lt;strong&gt;our invitation cards start from as low as $2.50 and go up to just $6.50&lt;/strong&gt;, you can afford to get samples of a few items from your favourite collections at the same cost of purchasing just 1 sample from other invitation providers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Operating as an online store allows us to keep our costs lower and thus we like to pass the benefits onto our customers in the form of savings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We invite you to check out our samples and see&amp;#160;the beautiful quality of our items. Low prices definately does not translate to low quality at B Studio, and&amp;#160;you&amp;#160;will see&amp;#160;that after&amp;#160;you've sampled our work.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img width="142" src="http://www.bstudioweddinginvitations.com/samples_bstudio.jpg" height="92"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
