So, unless you have been hiding under a rock these past few months, you can’t have missed the Royal Wedding madness thats sweeping the nation. Yes, Prince William is marrying his long term girlfriend Kate (Catherine) Middleton this month and newspapers and magazines are going mad, trying to find out all the fine details about the special occasion. Obviously it’s a great occasion, which has been made even better now we all get an extra bank holiday. But with all this hype stirring, I thought I’d search out some of our more regal card designs. Here’s a quick look:

When it gets to this time of year, most people are desperate to shake off the Winter blues and embrace the coming Summer months. The clocks change and the nights get lighter, and everyone is out buying sandals and sunglasses, in anticipation of their Summer holiday. It seems to me that Spring almost gets skipped over, like Autumn- kind of sidelined by the big players – Summer and Winter. But, I love Spring. The fresh air, growing flowers and cool crisp mornings. It’s a time when everyone breathes a sigh of relief, and people lift their heads and take in the scenery on their way to work, instead of dodging the Winter weather. Amongst the many bank holidays, Easter takes prime place. This happy occasion brings tradition and fun and as well as its obvious religious sentiments, people embrace activities such as rolling painted eggs down a hill and egg hunts.

Spring has proven to be a very popular time of year for family occasions such as Christenings and Weddings. Many opt for this time of year as Summer is generally a busier time, with people booking holidays, which could potentially clash with events, and Winter sees people saving for Christmas. Christenings are especially popular around Easter, for religious reasons and so, it is no surprise that we find many people ordering Wedding Invitations and Thank You cards as well as Christening Invitations and Thank You cards.

Take a look at our range of Christening Invitations and Wedding Invitations. We have loads to choose from and several designs that would look great this spring.

Special Moments Framed Prints

Our Special Moments framed prints can be personalised to suit you and the beautifully designed backgrounds and quality frame provide a great backdrop for any pictures. Whether you want to display photographs of your wedding day, or just a selection of family snaps, these framed prints are sure to be a wonderful feature in your home.

A great idea would be to showcase your newborn baby. On the frame you can include details such as their name meaning, weight, length, time and place of birth. They can also be personalised for a special event in your child’s life such as their Christening, Baptism, First Christmas, Naming Ceremony or Special Birthday.

Our Special Moments framed prints can feature: a selection of photographs, personalised text (see below) and a choice of attractive background designs.

On approval your artwork is printed onto a high quality glossy photographic paper and then mounted and framed.

All of our Special Moments Framed Prints are fully personalised with your own wording so whatever you would like them to say, let us know and we’ll be happy to help!

Personalisation can include:

• your child’s full name
• date, time, weight and place of birth
• child’s name meaning
• special dates such as a Christening
• up to three photographs of your child
• colour, black & white or sepia images
• short bible verse, psalm or quote
• a choice of a white or stained frame
• can be created from a previous order for any of our personalised cards & invitations

A little tip: This gift would be great to give to the grandparents. Include pictures of all the grandchildren and a heartfelt message to make it extra special.

Wedding Thank You Cards

One thing not to underestimate is the meticulous planning and preparation needed to organise a wedding. The Big Day is supposed to be one of the best days of your life and it is no wonder people take so much care with the fine detail and personal touches to make the occasion that little bit more wonderful. Once your perfect day has came to and end and you are back from your honeymoon, it’s vital you don’t forget to send Thank You cards to all the guests who attended your wedding and contributed to the lovely big pile of wedding gifts that have taken over your spare room.

It is common for couples to put off sending them till they have settled back into their routine, but watch you don’t forget all together. Some couples even send out their Thank You cards up to a year after the event. It is important, however, that a message of thanks is sent to your guests, and what better way to do that than sending out a personalised card featuring photographs of your wedding or even pictures of the happy couple on your honeymoon.

At Baby Christening Invitations, we have a lovely range of Wedding Thank You cards. There is a selection of photographic and non-photographic cards for you to chose from, as well as an option of landscape or portrait designs. This card range starts at just 50p per card and comes with free envelopes.

So, whether your wedding was last year, or you have just started planning, don’t forget that Thank You cards are important, to let the guests know how much their attendance and gifts were appreciated.
