save-the-dates

I recently became obsessed with this company that provides plastic items for your business, weddings and special events: Plastic Printers.
The owner, Luke Lingle started the company in the basement of his parents’ home 20 years ago. It all started with phone cards, then came the popular products they create every day like business cards, gift cards, membership cards, key tags, loyalty and reward cards, VIP passes, luggage and bag tags and more.

They have been doing specialized products like wedding invitations for about 10 years and recently launched their own line: Live Love Last. Their talented team of innovative graphic designers creates awe-inspiring designs in unbelievable shapes and a variety of sizes. You can order anything from save the dates, wedding and event invitations, RSVPs to ceremony programs, table numbers, menu cards, coasters, wine charms, escort and place cards, thank you notes and whatever you think of.
Their unique designs can be printed on clear or frosted plastic in just about any color you need. They are weather proof, water proof and spill proof. Are you looking for foil stamp? They can help you with that!

The creation process is the same like a traditional stationery company for your wedding or special event: they will design the each piece (or you can send the finished file) then send you a proof via e-mail for you to approve. The turnaround time is about 3 weeks from consultation to digital proof. Once the proof is approved it will take about 5-7 days for production and printing, then about one week for shipping.

The only thing they don’t provide is envelopes because they specialize in plastic however, they can assist you with sizes and colors and you can just order envelopes online (the company I normally use is Paper Presentation) or you can purchase them at your favorite local stationery store.

Another thing to keep in mind: All of their stationery pieces usually fit regular postage however, I would suggest that you take the set to the post office before purchasing your postage to ensure it is priced correctly.

Pricing will depend on the design, size, and quantity. The good thing is, there’s no minimum for your order 🙂
Packages start at $667 for 100 Invitations and 100 RSVP’s
Packages start at $1,167 for 100 Save the Dates, 100 Invitations and 100 RSVP’s
Packages Start at $1,459 for 100 Save the Dates, 100 Invitations, 100 RSVP’s & 100 Thank You Notes

One of my September couples just sent out their save-the-dates a few days ago, and they’re absolutely adorable!

The very talented Jenn with Pink Star Design is helping Katy and Jason with their wedding stationery: it all started with a beautiful engagement letter (mailed a few months ago) that featured a damask border, and the invitation will be designed soon.

A custom die cut was created for the luggage tag-style save-the-dates; they were made with an ivory matte thick card stock and finished with mocha and black ribbon.

The palette is – as you can see in these pictures – a combination of Kelly green and damask with mocha accents. Even the stamp is matching the color scheme!

I will unveil the Tavolozza that I created for Katy and Jason after their wedding – Stay tuned!
