Custom wedding invitations from Zazzle

Hi my dear friends and Zazzlers!

Yesterday an Irish lady friend of mine got engaged! I am really happy for her. It seems the guy asked her to marry him 3 times. Finally, she accepted! I am happy for her. And today I just got an email from a friend of mine who has decided to get married. Love is in the air, I believe, LOL! She and her longtime companion went out for a special Valentine's dinner to celebrate such a special decision yesterday. The overall number of married couples has declined in Portugal over the years and people get married later. Maybe because other kinds of living arrangements are now more socially acceptable or maybe because girls and boys that go to college want to have a career before they settle down. Maria João and Mário have been living together for 10 years. Now they finally decided to tie the knot! It's always a great joy to get this kind of news! They want a nice and small ceremony just for the family and close friends followed by a dinner party. I got invited, yeah! It will be in the summer so I'll have plenty of time to buy myself a new pretty dress, LOL! But, most important, I was invited to create the wedding ceremony invitations! I was so pleased! It's the second time a friend asks me to do it! Wow!


Her email made me think of custom wedding invitations from Zazzle right away. I never paid much attention to it and I don't have any at my store to sell. So I decided to take a close look mainly for inspiration!


Custom wedding invitations from Zazzle are a great choice. There are thousands of designs, beach wedding designs, damask designs, and more! People can pick those already made by professional artists or make their own wedding invites using their images and text. There are also RSVP cards and real U.S. postage to match. Each invite and RSVP card comes with a complimentary envelope, which means easy mailing for you. And here it is a choice of my favourite custom wedding inviations from Zazzle!

TAP - with arms wide open




  Video

TAP PORTUGAL - Have you flown with Portuguese TAP? Operating since 1945, the airline’s hub is in Lisbon operating an average of more than 2,250 flights a week.

This video was made with the help of 259 customers who were invited at the boarding gates to become actors while they waited for their respective flights. So real passengers are the stars of the new film shown on board the airline’s aircrafts. On YouTube, the video has already been viewed more than 200,000 times in just three days.

"The year 2012 will also bring a repositioning of the TAP brand and the philosophy that guides its relationship with its customers with the launch of a new campaign centered on the concept of “TAP with arms wide open”. The slogan translates into the Portuguese airline’s extending a warm welcome and broadly embracing the cultural diversity and multiplicity of the destinations its network serves throughout the European, African and South American continents, symbolizing TAP’s role in connecting and unifying three continents in the same embrace."

Garrett McNamara says Nazaré is like no other place in the world...


You gotta love Garrett McNamara! Just read what he wrote about Nazaré beach:

“There is nowhere in the world even remotely like it for enjoying the power and size of waves so close,” Garrett said. “It is mesmerizing to sit on the cliff and watch the waves and there is nowhere like it. But all I feel is that we will be able to share this place with a few more people.”
