Considerations When Making Address Cards

Moving home is hectic, especially when you have to let everyone know where you have moved to. The quickest way of doing that is through address cards. These are usually small, similar to business cards, and will inform your friends and family members of the new house address and any other details that may have changed, such as a phone number. Address cards are something that you can make yourself relatively easily. The best thing about doing them yourself is that it will cost much less money. All you need is a simple word program, some card and ink in your printer. It is possible to hire someone to do the cards for you but you will be charged much more and there are also delivery costs involved. You can make the cards as simple as you want. Some people will choose to put a picture of their new home in the top corner and then include the address, while others will just offer a simple white piece of card with the address in black writing. The main thing that you will need to think about is the use of the cards. Will they just be for family and friends or will you be using them for business purposes too? The size of the cards needs to be considered. Address cards are usually small enough to fit in a wallet but it is often difficult to find envelopes small enough if you are mailing the cards out to family members. Again, this will depend on any other use for the cards. Address cards

Ready-Made vs. DIY Dinosaur Birthday Invitations

Birthday parties are fun for children and many like to have fancy dress or themes. Dinosaurs are popular for many children, especially boys, and you can involve that theme from the start by using dinosaur birthday invitations. The question is whether to make your own or buy a packet of ready-made invites. The main benefit of buying ready-made ones is the fact that they are ready-made. There is no need to think about pictures to include or whether you have all the information you need. You can quickly write the names of the guests and send them off. This is perfect for those busy mums and dads. However, ready-made dinosaur birthday invitations can be expensive, depending on where you shop and the number that you need. DIY invites are affordable and relatively easy. The best thing is that there are plenty of pictures available online to include on the paper. However, you will need time to make the invites and this is not something that everyone has available. You may decide that DIY invites will take too long to make but there are no dinosaur birthday invitations perfect for the event in the store. This is when you may consider hiring someone to make the invitations for you. This will mean spending more money but the invites are made professionally and can be made more personal. This is something that is becoming popular for many families who have little time to make or shop for something for the birthday party. Dinosaur birthday invitations
