We'll be moving FINALLY (from 5yrs in Utah back to Seattle where we're from) and need to send out a mass mailing. My plan is to use a WHCC press product (not sure which yet; linen or pearl, maybe?) for quality and want to design something amazing like the latest Save the Date examples.

Would you show me some ideas or tell me about something y'all have done?

Thanks!

The swissmiss cards are really meant for save the date but they might be fun.

Those are cute baby announcements! Thanks Jess

For this project, I'm looking for something that's more custom and unique.

(watching for the next reply)

I'm interested too! We're supposed to close on our new house later this week.

I'm thinking of doing 5x5 folded cards and then mounting a new business card inside for sending to clients.

I'm lost in terms of the design though. Someone must have one on hand.

I'm thinking.... couch in the road, you guys sitting on it with some boxes around you...

Are 5x5's extra postage? Grr.

Oooh, Melody... that's delicious! Getting my wheels turnin' THANKS

5x5's are extra postage IF mailed in the 5x5 envelopes. If you choose the 5x7 envelopes when ordering from WHCC, the postage is the same...at least in Canada. (sorry)

Same in the US.

I thought it might be awkward doing the 5x5s in the 5x7 envelopes, but truth be told, it doesn't bother me. The square postage in the US was ~$.64 before the new rates went into effect.

Melody...thanks for the inspiration...just what I needed to get those wheels turning.

Here's an example of our "We Moved" postcards from a couple of years ago. The address is marked out b/c I had this on my old knot/nest bio. LOL

Also, these were for family & friends and not exactly business related, although I did send them out to some clients.

we had friends that put their kids in a box and they held a sign saying they moved and the new address. it was super cute with a chubby little kid.

5x5 card in a 5x7 envelope - aha!

Beth... that's a great idea too (I like details)! Thanks for posting the pics!

Julie b... what a cute picture that probably made! Thanks for the idea

HA!!! Now I want to move, just so I can take that picture! Oh wait, I need to have a kid first too. Oh wait, that would require me packing and unpacking. Never mind...I'll just live vicariously through someone else.
