Our Office Manager, Linda Geisin, is one of the people you’re likely to speak to when you call our customer service line. She created the design in this article specifically for a customer who was putting together her baby announcement. Linda listened to the customer’s needs and thoughts and suggested a custom solution that the customer was happy with.

The customer told Linda that she loves sunshine and her baby was born on a bright, sunny day. Within the invitation ensemble, she wanted to include a photo CD so that her guests could print her baby photos on their own. She also wanted to include actual photos for those less technically savvy. Linda suggested printing the photos on our 6 1/4 square radiant white invitation cards. The inclusion of photos printed on cards and a photo CD made the ensemble quite bulky, so Linda suggested wrapping it all in our crocum yellow pochette, which has a sunny and translucent finish. She embellished and secured it with our black chiffon ribbon. Her customer loved the look of the black ribbon with the yellow pochette. It reminded her of a Black-Eyed Susan.

Extremely pleased with the invitation ensemble and appreciative of Linda’s help, the customer actually included a sticker on the CD jewel box to indicate printable blank cards (like those that her photos were printed on) are available at LCIPaper.com.

Here are the products that Linda suggested and the customer ended up using in her baby announcement ensemble:

Crocum yellow vellum envelope pochette
Radiant white 6 1/4 inch square invitation card
Black chiffon ribbon
