Bella Ink Designs: Not Just for the Girls

Top: EF-153TY and EF-163TY.  Bottom: EF-167TY and EF-156TY.  Each of these designs is available blank for personalization (a name or monogram) or pre-printed with Thank You.

 

Some say Bella Ink isn't manly enough, but we beg to differ.  Real men wear pink, and a touch of that hue here and there surely wouldn't make them do a double take.  Not convinced?  The Fall/Winter 2014 notes featured here are a good bet for a variety of men, be they sports fans, boating enthusiasts, or card sharks.  And, there's not a trace of pink or burst of blossom anywhere to be found.

Top: EF-168TY and EF-146TY.  Bottom: EF-162TY and EF-116TY.  Each of these designs, except for EF-116TY, is also available blank for personalization (a name or monogram) or pre-printed with Thank You.  Please visit the website for a more accurate representation of the colors on these notes. 

Being the color often associated with royalty, purple may be a more approachable hue than pink.  Above are a couple of options featuring varied shades of purple, green and blue, including new designs EF-168TY and EF-162TY.   Each design works for those just graduating to those keeping in touch with the grand-kids from afar.  Business professionals may choose to keep a stash in their desks when the occasion calls for a quick but personal follow-up.

If you think he may be OK with pink after all?  EF-118 is a card featuring stripes in a variety of colors, including fuchsia, that still feels unisex.  This design is available blank for personalization or pre-printed with Thank You.

Bella Ink Designs can print any invitation or note card before it ships.  For more information, please visit our custom printing page HERE.  Bella Ink products may be purchased online at www.bellaink.com or through retailers nationwide.  To find a nearby retailer, please visit our Find A Store page.

Suite Saturday: Get These Invitations Before They're Gone!

PH-154, WCC-11 and EF-114

Looking to create a beautiful suite for a wedding, shower or birthday?  We've posted these designs before, but they're worth re-visiting because they're about to sell out.  If you've been eyeballing any of the four invitations featured here today, now's the time to pull the trigger.  You don't want "I should have bought that" remorse.

PH-156, WCC-11, and EF-151

Each of these invitations has been printed on a premium textured, cream card stock and comes with the option to be glittered by hand in the Bella Ink studio before it ships.  Invitations measure 5.5'' x 8.5,'' and may be printed in the studio before they ship.  Please check out our Custom Printing page for more information about typeset orders.

PH-108, WCC-11 and EF-115

The flat response cards and coordinating folded notes featured alongside these invitations are in stock and ready to ship at any time.  Response cards may also be used as table cards.  Bella Ink will print the response cards and blank folded notes before they ship, by request.  Blank notes look best printed with a monogram or a first or last name.  Other variations may be discussed with our graphic designer. 

WH-50, WCC-11 and EF-129TY (Also available blank for personalization)

Suite Saturday: Get Set For Your Event

Invitation: BH-42, Response/Table Card: WCC-11, Note: EF-107 (Also available blank for personalization)

Baby showers.  Aren't they fun?!  There's always an abundance of tiny clothes we wish came in adult sizes, family and friends we haven't seen in ages, and cake!

Many of the suites we've been posting will suit just about any event you're hosting, but today's picks celebrate glowing moms-to-be, only.  Whether it's a boy, a girl, twins or a secret, Bella Ink has the pieces you need to create a suite just as unique and fabulous as the guest of honor.

Invitation: BH-33, Response/Table Card: WCC-11 (solid cream also available), and EF-141 (Also available blank for personalization)  *Please note that this and BH-33's chevron stripes are green, not taupe as they appear on screen

Bella Ink's favorite gal is always dressed for the occasion when she makes an appearance on baby shower invitations.  Your friend isn't forgoing fashion for nine months, and neither is our gal.  Easy, breezy dresses and sun hats are a staple in her closet.

Invitation: BH-37, Response/Table Card: WCC-11 and Note: B-49

We know fans of Bella Ink love a baby bottom, and we always try to keep at least one in our line-up.  Currently we have the above in blue OR pink, and the double baby bottom invitation picture at the top of this post.  In the world of Bella Ink, purple and green are neutral, so if your friend is keeping a secret, and having twins, this card has your event written all over it.  (After we print it on there for you, of course.)

Bella Ink will print your important who, what, where and when details on invitations before shipping.  Simply add custom printing to your card.  Please visit our custom printing page for more information.

Suite Saturday: Get Set for Your Event

If you've picked purple as one of your event's colors, then you're in good company.  Purple has been a color used by royals since antiquity.  Bella Ink has several invitations in varying shades of this high-end hue to suit your event, be it in a garden or a ballroom.

Bella Ink's invitations and note cards may be printed in the Bella Ink studio before shipping to your door.  After you've made your purchase, simply email our graphic designer: kristin@bellaink.com.  In your email, please include your order number along with the wording you would like to appear on your invitations and/or note cards.

Bella Ink will hand-glitter* most items available for purchase on the website, www.bellaink.com.  Simply select the embellishment option in the drop-down box, when applicable, and your stationery will leave our studio with a little extra sparkle.  (Please note that, on some occasions, the embellishment is a peel-n-stick rhinestone that will be affixed by the customer upon delivery.  This will be noted in the drop-down box for rhinestone designs)  

Bella Ink products may be purchased through Bella Ink retailers (find a list HERE) or through Bella Ink directly.
