Courtesy of Kodak’s Easy Share Gallery and Design magnate Martha Stewart, its now easier and cuter than ever to create photo thank-you cards for your wedding!
The two have teamed together to offer several designs that can be used with your choice of horizontal or vertical photos. You can even include your own custom message under “Thank You” (although I chose not to in my examples below.”)
Most of the designs available are brown and blue, which is oh so of-the-moment but may not be your cup of tea. If so, there is one cream version available.. hopefully they will expand their color combos soon.
At $10.90 per set of ten they work out to be just over $1 a piece and even come with envelopes in either white, green or red.
Give it a try here!

What’s the only thing worse than making a mistake on your wedding invitations? Making it on someone else’s!!
My poor friend Tracy was having such a hard time getting her invitations printed, she had chosen a design from Bella Figura, a seemingly reputable letterpress printer. When they stopped answer their phones or returning her calls, I offered to do the design work if she could find a local NYC printer. We were in a big rush to get the design files to the printer, and in the meantime Tracy and her Fiance Mike were at their engagement party in Charlotte and we were doing all of our communications by email.. not that that is any excuse.
I sort of had this feeling something was wrong.. like maybe I had misspelled something. Its that same feeling I get at my job right before I send an email blast out to 50k people.. I’m always convinced there is a mistake somewhere.
And of course - there was:
Can you spot the mistake? Go ahead, look again.. its good practice for the tedium of proofing your own invitations… Still don’t see it? Take a look at the year. Now take a look at the date of this post. DOH!!!
I hope that someday Mike and Tracy can forgive me…I was supposed to act as their wedding coordinator, now I think I may be to mortified to go to the wedding! I’m afraid the guests will all be pointing and whispering.. “there’s the girl who ruined the invitations!”. OK, maybe I’m a little bit paranoid, but you get the idea.
So let this be a lesson to brides everywhere. Or at least the brides that still haven’t sent out their invitations. Proof read them, have someone else proof read them (preferably NOT the person that designed them!) and then proof read them again. This is one typo you won’t forget. Ever.
