ArDo Paper Creations all started in November 2009, with one event. Our wedding.
My now husband and I decided to get married. As with all weddings the planing, followed by all the stress, started. We had to get all the invitations out in a very short time.
So we started to look at wedding coordinators for the making of the invitation cards, place settings and all other wedding stationary. And believe me when I say this was not easy. The last coordinators we saw said to us that this can't be done. All we wanted were invitations cards with a Floc Damask print. Well I just had it, for I know you do get this paper, and I believe "If you can Dream it, You can do it".
So I decided I will do it myself. and of I went to get paper. "I can dream it, so I definitely can do it"
We ended up doing all the wedding stationary ourselves, and saved al lot of money in the process.
And to top it all I had so much fun doing this.
The following photos shows all the stationary that we made:
