Editors Best of 2007: Stationery and announcements
Birth announcements Kristen: I have to pick Bird and Banner's completely handmade custom invites and announcements. Their personal touch is the next best thing to making all 100 announcements yourself. Liz: For totally custom, designed just-for-you announcements, the portfolio at Pink Dot Press will absolutely blow you away. Custom stationery Kristen: I love my Posh Peacock personalized note cards so much that I feel bad writing on them. At least I know that no one is looking at my terrible handwriting. Liz: Maybe it's cheating to call it custom, but when your kids take their Crayolas to the Color N Kids Cards, they truly make them their own in a way that a monogram doesn't. Off-the-rack Kristen: Hooray for Three Wheels Design's six-packs of ready made cards. Good thing I've got lots of friends having babies this year. Liz: I kind of like everything at Lucky Little Devils. Makes me want to be a better letter writer. There are way too many paper goods for us to choose from. Check them out yourself.
