Every year, millions of families gather around fireplaces and front porches to snap moments of them smiling, giggling, grimacing in anticipation for the upcoming holiday season. Every family member previously shopped for matching outfits; some may have even lost a few pounds in preparation for their new year health resolutions. The resulting picture should ideally show how all the children have grown, how the parents have aged well, and how the family pet has sprouted a few grey hairs on its snout.

Then, comes the next step-- finding the perfect medium to showcase their proud family...the card.

What piece of cardstock will best display the picture? What type of design should I incorporate--traditional, or trendy? Should it fold open, be a long rectangle, a square, or even a trifold? These are all questions one may ask themself during this joyful, yet often stressful time of year.

This card may seem like a series of highly analyzed decisions. However, it may possibly be the easiest piece of this holiday card-giving puzzle.

Rather than scrolling through design after design on the Internet and having no tangible idea of what your card may actually look like once it's printed, stop by Event House, and we can help you find your perfect piece of stationery for this holiday season.

Whether you would like us to custom create you a card with multiple layers of cardstock, ribbon, and pizazz, or, if you prefer to choose one from our cherished Tag & Co. holiday catalog...your card is sure to make the Jones's mantel place this year!

Don't feel overwhelmed by holiday card giving this year. Let us make this American tradition one easy thing for you to check of your holiday "To-Do" list!

Sincerely,

Brenna Elaine Galle

Along with hundreds of other companies, Event House applied for the Best Marketing/Invitation/Design/ Concept category. Their application described their dedication and creativity in designing the invitations, menus, place cards, escort cards, programs, thank-you cards, table numbers, save the dates, engagement party invitations, rehearsal dinner invitations, napkins, water bottles, and much more for one of their beloved brides from Northern California. Event House never met with the client in person. All of their work involved long distance phone calls and FedExed samples.

At the fabulously glamorous 2011 ISES Crystal Icon Awards Ceremony, the winners of each category were announced. Event House received the Best Marketing for an Invitation Design Concept! All their hard work and diligence paid off!

Sincerely,

We are so honored to have created several Indian-inspired designs on the invitation for her lavish eggplant purple and maroon affair.

The minute detailing of the geometric flourishes and patterns truly speaks to the Maharani culture. Simultaneously, the savvy motifs on Mrs. Turner's invitations correspond to the rising "graphic" print fashion trend that dominates style runways, magazines, and stores everywhere.

Yet again, our graphic design team proves they can conquer any area of the world, and transform an invitation into a timely piece of art!

          Oh my goodness, Holy Mother of the Wedding World-- Anthropologie will open their very first wedding store, called B H L D N (pronounced as "beholden") on August 18 in our very own beloved Houston, Texas!!! This is Ba-na-nas (thank you Mrs. Rachel Zoe)!!

          Some our favorite bold and brilliant jewel-toned bridesmaid dresses: Look 4 on the Website-- a sapphire dress fit for a whimsical Goddess. And, Look 1-- an Emerald vintage ensemble fit for a diva. We became inspired to pair these two looks with previous invitations E.H. created. We hope, and encourage all the brides-to-be to soak up some of our B H L D N muse!

          A few of the wedding dresses that instantly awed us-- numbers 3, 8, 11, and 13. The entire collection of chic and avant-garde bridal gowns truly speak to the exquisiteness and such intricate craftsmanship of Anthropologie's designers! The jewelry-- a perfect mix of delicate vintage classic pieces, while others include dashes of eclectic, modern and colorful accents.

          To top off the final look for the bride-- their shoe album is absolutely adorable and full of options! Of course, since lately we've been incorporating the color pop trend into our work-- the sky-blue polka dot D'Orsays, peacock-blue Curtsey Kitten Heels, Liberty D'Orsay pumps adorned with the coral flower, canary-yellow Bow-Topped Slingbacks, lime-green Threshold Slingbacks, lipstick-red Flouncy Peep-Toes, and fuchsia Torsade Peep-Toes are right up our color-obsessed alley!

          Anthropologie, which opened its first retail store in Pennsylvania, has become renowned for its creative window displays and evocative catalog covers. B H L D N'S grand opening brings such recognition to our local cutting-edge wedding industry! Houston consistently and prestigiously remains on the forefront of the bridal market.

         For now, clients can shop Anthropologie's B H L D N online store at: http://www.bhldn.com/index.cfm

          Resting inside of an ivory pocket pad, lies the shimmery menu card. The black swirls add such a sophisticated touch. Such a fabulous menu fit for a queen! We are so proud of our work, and extremely happy for Mr. and Mrs. William Frazier!

Sincerly,

Brenna Elaine Galle

            Yes, we are officially venturing into a new market, one in which that brings fairytale dream-like events to 15-and-16-year-old girls as they, for the first time, debut themselves as young women.

            One word to describe our mood after Sunday’s Quince extravaganza—excited! We had so much fun meeting other vendors and getting a glimpse of such a colorful industry. Event House is honored to bring our luxury products to these future “Miss 15” ladies.

            Have you, or someone in your family had a Quinceañera? Share with us your special ideas, or memories from that day!

Candice showing off some of our goods!

A royal purple silk ribbon wraps around the regal purplish/fuchsia/blue silk pad. In certain lights, the silk shimmers of deep pink hues; in other lights, it shines of a majestic bluish purple. A gold opulent crystal buckle clasps in the center. Such a glamorous color combination! Inside, the ivory invitation consists of purple thermography writing, and has a glossy gold trim on top of an eggplant purple backing. The invitation is written in Portuguese—the second one for Event House! On the right fitted snuggly inside a pocket, the response card lies. On the left, the reception card rests in an identical pocket. And, the final touch—a goldish sparkling crystal that sits in the center of a custom monogram made by the incredibly talented Mrs. Vivian Adeniyi. 

What perfect timing for our creation during the Prince William and Kate Middleton royal wedding week!



Sincerely,

Brenna Elaine Galle
