Loving today’s DIY project – they’re great for using as place cards at weddings (just stamp on names instead of initials), in centrepieces or as favours… Quick, cheap, simple & fun to make – they’ll brighten up your tables a treat!

If you’re having traditional lawn games at your wedding such as the Egg & Spoon race, Welly Boot Throwing & Sack Races, how about using these as Rosettes for the winners -(minus the straw and with an addition of a safety pin stuck to the back).

As always, you’re more than welcome to ask questions, comment or let us know how you got on making these yourself… Just drop us an email at info@inthetreehouse.co.uk

Hi all,

Just a quick post today to show you a recent bespoke design project for the lovely Karen & Spencer, who got married in July last year. This was commissioned by Karen for Spencer’s anniversary gift – it speaks for itself really! x

Your little (and big) guests will love entertaining themselves with these chalkboards – they’re multi talented in that they also double up as place cards, wedding favours and table decorations! We think they’re a complete steal at just £3 each… Included in the price: Chalkboard, Chalks, Sponge wiper & Ribbon in a colour of your choice. To place an order (minimum quantity of eight) use the contact form just to the right…

Day 3 of our Little Ones’ Week and it’s time to launch our new mini-prints for kids. These cute designs named ‘Mr. Robot’ and ‘Owling Around’ are  illustrated by hand and then digitally ‘scrapbooked’ in Treehouse style with loads of colour, pattern and happiness! They’re perfect for wedding favours or children’s party gifts at only £3 each (this includes the personalisation & framing). With the minis there’s a minimum order of 5, however if you’d like just one for a special little one in your life, we do larger ones in Vintage Style white frames for £15.

Sooo excited to bring you some great ideas for children’s wedding place settings tomorrow! …some really fun and innovative ideas which I can’t wait to share x

Here’s a little feature on how to plan your wedding to avoid screaming little ones, bored bigger ones and stressed out mums (trust me I have fallen into the latter category once or twice at a wedding). Hope it’s helpful – if you have any more tips, ideas or questions to put out there, come over to our facebook page and join the discussion at http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=194068850649254&set=a.186835201372619.49491.147194918669981&type=1&theater 

Don’t miss our feature later in the week on great gifts, wedding favours and party bags for kids. x

I had so much fun designing these for Sammi & Anton (a very cool couple I might add). They wanted something a little bit vintage, a little bit circus, and a little bit ticket-y! So funnily enough, I came up with a vintage style circus ticket… In fact, I’m so excited about it that I’ll be desigining a whole new range based on the concept soon, and will keep you posted… Just to let you know, the colour scheme, and all wording is adaptable to suit your preference.

In preparation for the summer holidays next week,  it’s all about the little ones here at In the Treehouse. We’ll be posting every day this week on great DIY projects like this one, revealing our new Birth Announcement and Children’s Personalised Prints ranges, as well as great ideas for kids wedding favours, wedding activities and party bags too.

This first post is a ‘WOW bag’ – a really meaningful DIY project is a great way of recognising and rewarding achievements, having family time together and the scrapbook will evolve into a priceless keepsake for years to come…

As always, let us know how you get on if you give this a go…. We’d love to hear from you! x

Just a quick blog post today to show you the close ups of the invitation we designed for the You & Your Wedding bridal fashion editorial. It’s vintage-inspired, with a soft and pretty, yet also modern feel – here shown in duck egg blue and peach. The colours, layout, wording (and most things really) are customisable to suit your special day.

Woweee, a  really exciting morning here at In the Treehouse… We’re launching our new London Town wedding stationery range today on the lovely London Bride blog - and to celebrate, we’re giving away 100 of the fabulous Save the Date cards to one of their readers. Just visit www.london-bride.com and leave a comment under the In the Treehouse feature to be in with the chance of winning – the lucky couple will be announced on the 25th July – Hooray!

Meet Mr. London - he features in various places throughout the range

The stationery is designed using a mix of illustration, collage & graphic design giving it a really unusual look. Note that the bus shows the wedding date, the cab shows the venue, and Big Ben displays the ceremony time. This invitation is the size of an A4 sheet, folded lengthways, and is printed on extra thick (325gsm) flat cream card – the reverse is also designed and printed to suit your big day.

These free standing, double sided Guards will stand perfectly to attention, ready to guide your guests to their seats. They are printed identically on the reverse meaning that guests sat on the other side of the table needn’t worry about forgetting names. Clever chaps!  After your wedding, guests will love taking these little guys home as a reminder of your special day.

 The menu is personalised with the Bride & Groom’s initials and features the little loved up London pigeons in the bottom corner.

This 4 page, double sided Order of Service is postcard size so your guests can easily pop it in their pockets & take home as a keepsake to remember your special day.  

If you’d like to see any other specific items from this range, please get in touch at info@inthetreehouse.co.uk…

So BBQ season has come round again - Let’s just hope we have a good spell of sunshine to make it a good one! Here’s the 2nd installment from our new fortnightly feature: 5 Greener Ways …to BBQ!
