Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Fundraiser - Special Edition Notecards

As the situation unfolds in the aftermath of the 9.0 magnitude earthquake, aftershocks, destructive tsunami, we can’t help but think of what tragedy ensues its victims and the country of Japan. I read up on current events every morning and as a mother, I am always thinking of all the people that have been displaced or have lost their livelihood. My business partner and I feel the urgency and want to use our talents to do something to help in some way.

We are going to start a fundraiser and contribute half of our proceeds to the American Red Cross: Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Fund. We think every little bit helps, and it will definitely be an ongoing task to help relocate and support all it’s victims.

You can purchase these notecards “Springtime in Japan” at www.invitationparlour.com for $10/pack of 10.


The design was inspired by the beauty of spring & all the cherry blossoms that would be seen in the country of Japan during this time of year. The yellow birds represent hope and peace that we wish for the people during this difficult time.

“In all things it is better to hope than to despair.” ~ Johann Wolfgang von Geothe

Here are some pictures that my sister took when she was in Japan. Luckily she was safe after the earthquake happened and was able to come back home.




And here are some images that has made us all want to help in any way we can.

Custom Aisle Runners & Candles - Butterfly Design

I've been working with Lisa for awhile on her wedding and we've created everything from her very custom invites to her own custom vow cards for the ceremony. She has a pink and brown butterflied themed event coming up on May 22nd and I'll post later all the items that I've already helped her design. But I wanted to share some of the items that she had ordered from I Do Originals. Lisa ordered a custom aisle runner, unity candles and a candle in honor of her grandmother, and she had me send them the custom designs over to the company so everything would match her wedding. I was so excited to see everything when Lisa shared the blog link with me. I can't wait to see everything in person, since I'll also be the photographer for the wedding.www.Idooriginals.com do beautiful work and if you want that special custom touch, you should check them out. They do everything from custom aisle runners to custom parasols and more.

Color Inspirations {Magenta & Teal}

Bold colors make a statement at a wedding and I think the jewel tone magenta and teal give a bold and also elegant look to any event.



Invitation is available for purchase at www.invitationparlour.com (*website is still under construction and will be available soon, if you want more info on this invitation design, please email at info@invitationparlour.com or call 951-241-0417.)
