One of my favorite brides, whose wedding you will see later this Spring, recently sent me this tidbit about hand canceling…and I cannot stop thinking about what a nice touch this would be on your wedding invitations. For more information, call 301-475-5243. Most Post Offices no longer offer this service but adorable Loveville, MD does!
Over the next few weeks, many spring wedding brides will be mailing their invites while fall wedding brides will be sending their save the dates. When you are sending these important mailings, a word to the wise: be sure to double – actually, triple check – the postage!
With the weight of the paper, the size or shape of the envelopes, it is more often than not that your save the dates or invites will require more than a 0.44 cent stamp.
Martha Stewart Weddings
Just in time for wedding season, Martha Stewart Weddings has teamed up with pingg to create a brand new collection of invitations and announcements.
With two-dozen designs to choose from, the Martha Stewart Weddings collection is sure to have the perfect design for any invitation or announcement a bride may need. 
Ideal for save-the dates, engagement announcements, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners and more, the exclusive Martha Stewart Weddings Collection for pingg will fit any couple’s unique style and budget (and – best yet, they are FREE!).
Many weddings are made unique, or given that WOW factor, through it’s small details. They can be found in the table settings, in very thoughtful favors, or in printed materials. This week, our expert vendor interview is with Jonathan Lane of Calligraphy Graphic Design Studio. With his extensive experience and unique flair, Jonathan will never cease to add that wow factor through his beautiful gift to form unforgettable printed materials for your wedding!
How did you become interested in calligraphy and what is your background?
Calligraphy was first a hobby and it all started when I unexpectedly found a teach-yourself calligraphy manual while browsing through a local library. I was delighted and charmed by what I saw, and was immediately determined that I would learn to write like the book’s author.
I have been studying calligraphy for over two decades now, and have been extremely blessed to have worked for or studied with many very talented local calligraphers and lettering artists. One of my greatest blessings was working in the White House Calligraphy Office for several years during the first term of the Clinton Administration.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year from District Weddings!
