I was in a different kind of mood today. A friend of mine owns a software development company, and is about to launch a new web application. He called me for ideas on how to finalise some details for his launch party. I laughed when he said: " Lorena, please don't kill the budget! "
I took a trip down to Staples, with one goal in mind, finding all the supplies I need from there.
Sometimes inspiration comes on its own, and sometimes, you just look for it. Today, I waited for the inspiration to come to me, while walking down the aisles of the store.
I am pretty happy with the outcome:
- I bought a business card box to display and organise the escort cards. It's an easy practical and original way for the guests to find their seats.
- I covered some slide boxes with black paper, wrapped some twine around it, made a loose bow and attached those shipping tags. The words " Thank You!" I just wrote by hand.
- Another idea for the escord cards was a plain foam core board ( they come in all shades of colour, with "@" push pins. And I printed the names and table number on plain card stock.
- The invitation has a modern, clean look to it. Adding a touch of red with the envelope brings some colour ( you can use your corporate colour envelopes )
Mission accomplished. I came out of Staples, with a light bill, and a light heart.
This look will work well for trendy agencies, hi tech companies, any business that is not taking itself too seriously. It is all about fun!
