The fourth and final grad party is here and gone. Since it was our last graduation celebration, I wanted to do a few new things and take advantage of the coordinating party essentials I could have printed at TOG.ink. You may have read our last INKspiration blog post, where I designed a duplicate of this graduation announcement but with enhanced raised foil for comparison. It’s a good read if you haven’t seen it yet, but this week I’m expanding on the announcement itself with other coordinating pieces I’ll be using at the actual graduation party.
Her party colors were pink, blush, white and rose gold. The whole idea was to add sparkle to her announcements, napkins and treat bags with foil stamping in rose gold. Foil stamping is my all-time favorite process, so we paired it with digital print on the front of A7 flat cards to create beautiful graduation announcements.
Did you know TOG.ink automatically offers 2-sided printing on digital flat cards? We used the back for party details. Check out Using Templates to Set Up Your Art with Die Cuts for a great example of how to use templates to ensure your wording is falling within the print area.
We also offer A7 euro envelopes with variable print, so I decided to print the flaps with her name and address in a coordinating pink design. This was a big time-saver and a WOW factor when friends and family saw it in their mailboxes.
I adapted my design to take advantage of some of the party essentials found under paper goodies. I created napkin and treat bags printed in rose gold foil for our dessert bar. The favor tags are 2-sided, and we tied them around the table centerpieces for a beautiful custom touch. Since we offer variable print place cards, I created custom labels for our mac and cheese bar, dessert bar and beverages.
Placing my order was so easy! The templates found on each product detail page are helpful for correctly setting up your artwork for all items, which made uploading a breeze. I started out knowing which items I wanted to design for, and that was very helpful. I highly recommend taking a long look at the TOG.ink offering to get an idea of all the things you can do. Be sure to check out past blog posts to see newly printed designs for inspiration.
