IRVING, Texas, July 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Michaels Arts and Crafts
Stores, one of the nation's leading specialty retailers of do-it-yourself
wedding stationery, decorations, favors, keepsakes and accessories, announces
two exciting additions to its invitation offering: Inviting Ideas, an online
invitation website featuring creative ideas to help the bride-to-be design,
customize and create wedding stationery on her own computer; and the Anna
Griffin Wedding Studio collection of elegant papers, available at Michaels
Stores.
Michaels' Inviting Ideas site showcases a vast array of beautiful,
professional looking stationery samples from engagement announcements and
invitations to wedding programs and place cards, plus an assortment of
complementary products such as guest books, photo and scrapbook albums. Once
an item is selected, samples are displayed along with a description including
quantity in a package, brand name and product number, to facilitate the
purchase at any one of more than 867 Michaels Stores nationwide.
Additional website features include template downloads for easy formatting
and a variety of content and message samples with suggested wording.
Michaels' Inviting Ideas site also provides how-to instructions for
calligraphy, embossing, rubber or metal stamping, handmade paper and wax
seals, finishing touches that will distinguish the bride-to-be's stationery
ensemble and make it a true expression of her own style.
Inviting Ideas (http://www.invitingideas.com ) joins Michaels' other
online wedding categories including decorations, headpieces, cake decorating,
floral displays and mementos, to provide a full complement of how-to projects
and inspiring information for the do-it-yourself (DIY) bride.
Michaels is pleased to offer the Anna Griffin Wedding Studio collection of
interchangeable papers including invitations, notes, save-the-date cards,
place cards and response cards, as an alternative to traditional, often
expensive, engraved paper goods. Anna Griffin's signature style -- vellum
overlay with a delicate ribbon tie accent -- is synonymous with refined
graciousness. Available exclusively at Michaels, the collection enables
brides to create one-of-a-kind, designer-like invitations without the
expensive designer price.
