Suddenly it hits you, today is your best employee’s birthday.  Your schedule is jam-packed, leaving no time to run out and buy a card.  What do you do?</p>
<p>Avoid this situation by creating custom note cards that can be used for any occasion. Design a card with your company’s logo, for clients, or one that is suitable for your personal use.  Create a flat or folded card perfect for thank you notes, best wishes, condolences, or anything!   Choose from different formats for different needs.  Create matching envelopes for an added touch!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Are rear window decals useful for weddings?</strong></p>
<div>
<p>You&#8217;re in charge of decorating the bridal couple&#8217;s getaway car; there is no way that you&#8217;re giving your friends a car covered in messages written with shoe polish, old shoes and other traditional prank items. Instead, you are choosing to use the tasteful option you have designed &#8212; rear window decals.</p>
<p>Creating rear window decals for the newlyweds is so simple. You can put the decal order together in seconds. To make the decals, you should:</p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>Choose one of the wedding-themed designs or opt to upload your own design.</li>
<li>Type in the happy couple&#8217;s names, the date of the wedding and a big &#8220;Just Married&#8221; announcement.</li>
</ul>
<p>Now, you can put the decals into place. Isn&#8217;t it nice to know that the car won&#8217;t suffer any damage and your friends will still be your friends when they see your decorating job? Even better, you have created a lovely keepsake item for them to proudly display in their car window, on their house window, or even in a picture frame for many years to come. Just so they remember how great you were about decorating their car when it is your turn! </p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Can window decals be designed to brag about my kids?</strong></p>
<div>
<p>You&#8217;ve seen the bumper stickers sold by the local schools that say, &#8220;My child is an honor roll student at XYZ Academy,&#8221; and you are secretly a bit envious. To be perfectly frank, your child may never qualify for an honor roll bumper sticker. He&#8217;s an amazingly sweet and helpful kid and plays the tuba like an angel, but school work is a struggle. As you pull into the school parking lot with your squeaky clean minivan that is unmarred by bumper stickers, you notice that the cars on either side of you are so covered in stickers touting their straight &#8220;A&#8221; kids that you can&#8217;t actually tell what color the cars are! That&#8217;s it. You&#8217;re going straight home, hopping onto the computer and seeing if you can find some kind of custom printing option for your car. Window decals? Perfect!</p>
<p>Window decals can be designed to say anything you want and are a great option for parents who are proud of their kids for things other than their grades. Why not design a decal that says, &#8220;My kid won the local track meet finals,&#8221; or, &#8220;My kid raised money for new playground equipment for ABC Park,&#8221; to celebrate how great your child is in other ways?</p></div>

		<title>Birthday Postcards Save on Postage</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Are birthday postcards a good idea?</strong></p>
<div>
<p>As you plan a big birthday party for your child, you are slightly horrified at the expense. The thought of the postage fees alone is making you downright nauseous. Then, a money saving idea occurs to you. Birthday postcards would be a great way to cut down on postage costs, because sending a postcard is a bit cheaper than mailing a letter. Now, you just hope need birthday postcards!</p>
<p>A quick keyword search for birthday brings up several pages of colorful templates for birthday themed postcards, from monkeys to pirates. A few simple changes to make sure the cards will hold all the party information may be necessary if you opt for a design that isn&#8217;t already set up as an invitation, but it will be a pretty easy alteration.</p>
<p>Be sure you remember all of the important information an invitation should include, such as when and where the party will take place. Also, if the invitation doesnt make the party theme obvious, you should mention it on the invitation in case some of the guests want to come in costume. This is especially important for a princess party or pirate theme, since many children will seize any opportunity to put on their costumes.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Can I make my bridal shower invitations perfect?</strong></p>
<div>
<p>You&#8217;re putting together a bridal shower for the bride&#8217;s wedding. There are so many things to remember, like letting people know where to view the gift registry and deciding on a place to hold the party. Luckily, the bridal shower invitations can practically make themselves. However, you do want to be sure you include all the information the guests will need. To be sure the invitations are perfect, you should:</p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>Check all the facts at least twice to make sure that you have the details right. You don&#8217;t want guests showing up the day before the celebration takes place because of a typo!</li>
<li>Be sure to note any special instructions, such as whether guests should bring a gag gift.</li>
<li>Consider including a sheet of paper that lists a few ideas for gifts the bride has included in the bridal registry for guests who are not happy with the thought of using technology to view the registry. Make sure they are items that the bride could use several of. For example, if she is hoping for 12 place settings of a very nice china pattern, it won&#8217;t matter if several people buy a setting as a gift without checking the registry.</li>
</ul>
