Now that Christmas is over, I can finally blog what has been one of my favourite projects to date – creating custom stationery for all the girls in my family, and my best friend Heather. It was a lot of fun choosing fonts to suit each of the women, and it was awesome seeing their reactions. I am eager to keep creating these – we live in a highly customized society – where everything is tailored to one’s individual taste. I especially love that I can offer something to people who don’t get usually get to buy something with their own names on them – the Laurel’s of the world…

Consider as a bride giving out a fabulous package of stationery to each of your bridesmaids – something that reflects your appreciation of them, perhaps in the colour of your wedding. You pick a font that reflects their whimsical, or romantic side, and they all have something that is unique to each of them.

Perhaps you are a professional, and you want that extra special touch when you engage with your clients. I had a lot of fun designing this custom letterhead for Jer Wilcocks – one of the most humble and down-to-earth photographers I have met. But you can only quote Ron Burgundy from Anchor Man so many times before it becomes custom letterpress worthy….





In the spirit of Christmas giving, I would like to announce Verity Ink’s first wedding invitation giveaway!

I want your submissions – why you think you should win a set of free LETTERPRESS invitations (valued at $1075 for 100). From the entries, five bride’s stories will be chosen, and then voting will begin.

Entries should include:
- A recent photo of you and your fiance
- A paragraph or more of why you think you should be awarded free invitations
- A description of your wedding thus far (the size you’re planning, venue, details that make it unique to you)

Entries can be submitted between today (December 10th) and the end of January, at which time I will narrow entries down to five finalists that will chosen by February first, and then voting will begin. The contest will close on Valentine’s day, at which point the bride with the most votes will be awarded.

The contest rules are as follows:
1. You must live in South Western Ontario.
2. You must be getting married in 2011, anytime after May first (in order to give me enough time to design with you, and for you to get your invitations in the mail).
3. Only one vote per person – and voting will take place on my Facebook page. I will do a separate post for each finalist, and you and your family and friends, and other guests on my page just need to write the word “vote” under your entry.
4. Invitations will be letterpressed, with one or two hits, on Crane & Co. ivory or white paper. They will include a matching RSVP card, and envelopes for both. There is no limit to the number of invitations won – if you are inviting 300 people and you win, you will be awarded enough invitations for 300 guests. Invitation size will be 5×7 inches.
5. You must be willing to let me show your picture, and share your story, on both my blog and my facebook page.

Email your entries to nicole@verityink.com
