About Mrs. Bird of Paradise

Merci Beaucoup!

October 12th, 2006 @ 5:35 pm by Mrs. Bird of Paradise

When I was first letterpressing my invitations, I asked them to quote me a price to have my thank you cards letterpressed as well. The price was nearly $500. Although I knew they’d be stunning, I thought this would be a place to save a bit of money. I decided that I was going to have the offset printed locally. A print shop, who I’ve worked with professionally before, initally quoted about $75 for the thank you cards. Perfect, I thought.

Well, the printer just dropped off our printed little thank you cards. I started to pull out my checkbook to pay for the 200 cards- and he utters “No Charge.” Um, wha?! I thought I heard him wrong! Nope! Not only did he not charge me for them, but he also included - oh it must be at least - 100 extras! Wow! I’m shocked, though very grateful!

Pics and more to come soon…

it’s probably a small price for him to pay for having samples of your beautiful design work to show other clients.

Don’t you love it when someone does the unexpected..something nice! That is wonderful that he helped you out. I had so many people go the extra mile for our wedding. A great example, our baker baked a special 3 layer chocolate frosted cannoli cake just for me, free of charge, because I wanted it for our wedding cake but was afraid I would be the only one who liked it. I ate the whole thing myself!
