If you were to drop in at our Mount Pleasant design studio at any given time, there’s a very high likelihood that the projects you’d see underway are wedding related. Save the dates, invitations, and wedding day stationery make up a big percentage of what we do!
With that being said, there are lots of other stationery types that we can and do create for our clients. As a matter of fact, we love when folks come to us with an idea for a special card, invitation, or other piece of correspondence that is uniquely “them.” It’s a special privilege to help them bring these ideas to life!
Christmas Cards
Many families have an annual tradition of mailing Christmas cards to all their extended family members, friends, business contacts, and whoever else they can think of! A card that is custom designed by our artists is a great, thoughtful gift that is sure to find a prominent place in the home of each recipient.
If you’ve ever seen a watercolor wedding map created by our artists, you know how much skill and care they bring to each client’s project. We love applying our talents to Christmas cards as well, working with clients to turn their personal style and unique characteristics into a one-of-a-kind holiday greeting.
Thinking Ahead
One great way to use your Christmas card tradition is to provide your friends and family with a new photo of you and your loved ones. Especially for those of us with quickly growing youngsters, an annual photo is a welcome and delightful update to those that we may not see on a regular basis.
But it can be difficult to coordinate a photo shoot, get access to the photos, and design and print Christmas cards all in time to get them out before Christmas! One solution that frees up time is to design and print customized Christmas cards ahead of time with a space left free for the photo to be added later.
This allows you to print Christmas cards any time during the year (and check one holiday responsibility off your list months early!), then simply add the photos when they are ready and get them into the mail. Here’s a great example featuring our very own Sarah Reed and her beautiful family!
Set Your Card Apart
One of the reasons clients love working with our design studio for projects like save the dates, a watercolor wedding map, and unique wedding day stationery is that they can do something that their guests have never seen before. Having an idea that is unprecedented doesn’t mean it’s impossible–it just means you need a design partner that can help you bring it into being in a beautiful way.
Your holiday greeting cards have the same potential. If you’re weary of choosing one of the red-and-green options featuring candy canes, Christmas trees, or Santa Claus, all you need to do is tell us what you have in mind instead! Write your custom message, add our unique illustration, and you’ll have a card that will leap out of the mailbox.
Are you disappointed with the card options available for Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or another less well known holiday that your family observes? The beautiful, professional greeting card that you’ve always wished you had is as close as a virtual or in-person consultation with our expert designers.
Greetings Throughout the Year
At Dodeline Design, we want to be your stationery source all year round. Graduation announcements, birthday and anniversary invitations, retirement parties, corporate events, and other special occasions can all be beautifully, artistically, and dramatically communicated with customized correspondence.
Thank-you notes are another great customizable idea! Show your appreciation with a beautiful gift of your own with unique thank-you notes that you can send throughout the year.
