'Roo News : May/June 2008

The Fall season is fresh and beautiful – a perfect time of year for a wedding. Rich color combinations and autumn-inspired designs are paired beautifully in our new Sunflower motif. This fun and organic design can be used on any of our invitations – we’ve shown it below on our Claudia pocket, which includes: two complimentary proofs, a postcard reply, two accessory cards, inner/outer envelopes, and return address printing. This is one invitation that will glow as much as the bride!

Q: I am getting married in October and would like to incorporate a fall leaf theme on my invitation. Is it possible to continue this theme on the other stationery items I will need to purchase such as menus, place cards, etc.?

A: Absolutely! Your invitation will set the tone for your wedding and will be the first glimpse your guests will have at your special day. It is a great idea to continue a theme throughout your stationery pieces. We can accomplish this by using the same leaf motif, fonts and even ink colors! The Green Kangaroo can provide matching programs, menus and place cards to go along with your wedding invitations.

The U.S. Postal Service has recently increased postage. Please keep this in mind when purchasing stamps for your wedding invitations. We recommend taking one of your fully assembled invitations to the post office before you purchase all of your postage.
