Shortly after making the big leap from Rails 2.2.2 to 3.0.10 Rails 3.1 came out. Feeling defeated in my quest to have mightyvites.com on the latest stable release I started down the path of upgrading to 3.1.3. Replacing 3.0.10 with 3.1.3 was actually simple: just change the rails version in my Gemfile and “bundle update rails”. After that it was trivial to get my tests running without error and essentially be upgraded. However, that wasn’t the goal. Rails 3.1 is all about the asset pipeline and I wanted the concatenation, minification, and cache busting that it brings to the table.

Ginkgo Wedding Invitation With QR Code

Ginkgo is one of the more popular designs in our gallery for wedding invitations. Curiously, most people like it as displayed in colors champagne and citrine. That was true for customers Alyson and Eric who ordered the design in those colors on cream paper in a digital print for their wedding.

A Simple German-English Bilingual Wedding Invitation
April 27th, 2012 in Invitations by Chris | Tags: customer, digital print | Comment |
Simple is one of our more popular wedding invitation designs. That’s why it wasn’t a big surprise when Michelle, a customer from last summer, ordered fifty of them for her New England wedding. What was different about Michelle’s invitations, however, was that they were not only in English but also German. We’ve done bilingual wedding invitations before, and they are always a challenge because we have to fit double the information that a design is intended to hold. Thankfully we’re able to make it work.

Hawaiian Wedding Invitations Capture The Spirit Of The Islands With Orchids

For most newlyweds Hawaii is the honeymoon destination. For customers Alicia and Jackson, however, Hawaii is home. It’s where they held their wedding, and the theme they wanted for their wedding invitations. We were able to help with that last part by printing the orchids design with a Hawaiian twist.
Choosing The Right Wedding Ceremony Venue

Ultimately any place will work to get you and yours hitched
Following far on the heels of my last informative wedding plans post comes another about venues. This time I want to talk wedding ceremony venues. Do you need one? Not if you’re lucky. You could hold the ceremony
in the same space as the reception. After all, the typical wedding ceremony only lasts a half hour. You might as well reuse the reception space and keep it easy on the guests and the wallet. That move is highly recommended for couples on a tight budget, but most brides wouldn’t dream of such a thing. No, you need a church, or something just as lovely as a church. Either way it’s one more vendor to deal with, one more thing to worry about, and one more check to write. Thankfully, a wedding ceremony venue isn’t that bad to nail down.
