Don't forget to say "thanks"

Well, we're at the height of wedding season and all the activities that encompass it - bridal showers, bachelorette parties and, of course, the big day itself. In the midst of all the last minute things to do, one thing that often gets overlooked is thank you cards. We're happy to announce that we have recently opened a shop on Etsy (www.etsy.com/shop/glassslipperdesigns) and have several thank you cards for sale. We're also happy to create a custom order for you, so please contact us at glassslipperdesignscalgary@gmail.com for more information. A hand made thank you card will show your friends, relatives and guests that you treasure all they've done for you.

Some helpful tips for writing thank you cards:

• Keep it personal. Try to incorporate at least one or two sentences that speaks personally to your guests. 
• Acknowledge what you'll do with the gift.
• Thank your guests for attending your wedding.
• Keep your thank you card to three to four sentences. 
• Write out your thank you cards a few at a time.

Stampede wedding inspiration

The Calgary Stampede turned 100 years old this year! For those of you who don't know, the Calgary Stampede is known as one of the hottest party spots in the world. For 10 days, the entire city of Calgary pretty much shuts down as people celebrate and get their country on, and people travel from all over the world to take in all the festivities. To celebrate the Stampede's 100th anniversary, we've put together a little country wedding inspiration that would fit in with the Stampede's Western theme. For more country wedding inspiration ideas, check out our board on Pinterest.
