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…

nice!!
it’s probably a small price for him to pay for having samples of your beautiful design work to show other clients.
WAH - that’s friggin awesome!
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!
wow!! how amazing. 
wow! nice. must be good karma.
wow!! did he tell you why?
Sweet~!!!
That’s nice of him!
marvil- no, all he said was it was an easy job, and for me not to worry about it.
