Pretty photos and photoshop

Many of us hire professional photographers for our special events and appreciate their valuable talents and skills. No doubt there will be lots of photo buffs in the family as well helping out with candid snaps.

It is a good idea to plan a list of the particular moments and people that you want to make sure are photographed during your special event. And don’t forget to include the little details, table settings, flowers, gifts and things that made your day special.

One thing you should add to your list, is a lesson in photography and photoshop to help you learn some quick tips from experts. Some times it is the little things that mean a lot, like hands on tutorials in a small class environment.

With all the new and affordable digital options photographs we all seem to be taking more photos. Why not make the best of that at enroll in a lesson to update your skills or gift certificate a lesson for someone who will be taking more photos as part of planning for your special event.

All About Paper is proud to host Point Shoot Play for lessons in both photography and photoshop, both in small class settings and one on one. Melissa makes everyone welcome and tailors classes to suit your needs. One of my favorite parts of the classes is where she shows us how to look good in front of the camera and then how to make fun alterations like this example.

Please phone to secure your place in the next class and be amazed with the amount of tips that can quickly improve the quality of your photos.

We are also organising an option of 1on1 private tutorials in either photography or photoshop with Point Shoot Play, please call the shop to confirm availability.

Invitation Etiquette

Etiquette is a lovely word but it does not have to be complicated.

If you are having an event and it is special, written invitations are a way of setting the scene and communicating your story. All About Paper have years of experience in coordinating special events and creating invitations. You are in safe hands with the All About Paper design team.

A quick summary of some things you might want to consider, for big events as well as special birthdays, anniversaries, graduation parties, showers, well just any occasion that you want to invite people and make it special.

Save the date cards A great way to let your guests from out of town know about your wedding date is to send Save-the-Date cards. They may be essential for planning flights and booking time off to be with you. Save-the-dates should be sent out at least 3 to 6 months in advance of your wedding date.

Dress code
Dress code should be included in formal invitations. The style of your invitation and message projected can also reinforce formal vs casual events.

Money and gifts
Today it is very common to ask for money instead of gifts, how you ask for it is where etiquette is important. You may use a wishing well or a gift registry but please don’t include anything about gifts in the invitation itself, a separate insert is more appropriate.


RSVP
Response deadlines should be no later than 1 month before the special day, or the date your caterer needs a final count. RSVP cards included with your wedding invitation are a great way to make sure your guests reply quickly.

And with that I am leaving an rsvp to you and all the lovely people we have met at recent expos and events. All About Paper is always ready to help make your special event as stress free as possible with our large range of pretty papers and well qualified design team. Invitations can be a special touch for any occasion, anniversary, birthday, graduation, any time you want to say, the event is special and so are your guests.

Bomboniere and gift giving

Many cultures include little gifts or bomboniere at celebrations as a special treat to say thank you to guests for sharing in the festivities. The word bomboniere translates to ‘a small fancy box or dish for bonbons’.

European’s trace this tradition back to early Roman times when fruit and nuts were given.

The first bomboniere packages were made of gold, precious stones, crystal or porcelain. Today we have so many more options than that, little bags or boxes in all kinds of shapes for all kinds of occasions.

All About Paper has lots of papers perfect for creating unique little treasure boxes to match your celebration theme.

Romantic Invitations

Romance does live in the heart of the macho Aussie male.

Shopping in Carindale today I ventured into a gift shop, drawn in by the show of reduced price wine glasses at the door. The assistant was helping a young male, approx late 20's, purchase tealight holders (small brandy balloon shapes) - no my life does not evolve around alcohol - and she was putting sand and tealights into them.

"Isn't he gorgeous" she said, "he's going to meet his girlfriend down on the beach, where he will have all the candles lit - and he's going to propose" - I got goosebumps. How romantic was that.
I told him I thought he was a lovely young man, and that whoever he was proposing to was lucky to have him, and wished him and his fiance to be happiness, health and a long life together.

I do hope she said yes, and if she did and if the couple would like to come and see me I would be happy to give them a very special price on their wedding invitations.

Creative Guest books for Celebrations

A guest book is a great way to remember a celebration.
As a new twist on the standard write your name here style of guest book why not create something that will be cherished by everyone and fun for your guests to make.

Place some pretty pens, instamatic camera, scissors, a selection of pretty paper, a glue stick on the table along with your guest book. You could either have blank pages for them to doodle as they like or maybe get them started with posing a question to answer, their tips for a happy marriage on suggestions for a good life together.

As guests arrive, start taking Polaroids or digital pictures that you can instantly print. Continuously place the photos on the table as they are available.

Tell your guests to write a little something in the guest book and to be creative! You will be amazed at how interesting the book will turn out. Best of all it will be a statement that is uniquely you and your guests on the day of your special celebration.

All About Paper is your one stop for all your stationary needs when it comes to planning a special celebration. Our large range of specialty papers including Christina Re is suitable for invitations, gift giving and more. We have a large range of ready made and raw books that can be finished to match your celebration theme, perfect for a unique guest book.

Lots of positive sentiments may be attached to the bluebird and blue is so calming and friendly. They would be a lovely theme for birthdays, new homes, and going away parties.
