Congratulations to
Jamie and Damien Walker...

...who got married in Nerja, Spain on the 24th September 2009 and had an absolute ball. Here is their story….

“There were about 40 of us that travelled altogether and I can honestly say that it was the best day of my life. Everything fell into place perfectly in the end, the sun was shining and everyone was smiling. I wish I could say that the lead up to the day was as relaxed as the Wedding day, nothing really prepared me for the build up and looking back I was probably a bit too relaxed about the whole thing and left alot of the preparation until very close to the day.

One thing that did not cause me any upset at all was the Wedding Invites, I was a little apprehensive about ordering them online and making them myself but I was so very happy with the results. When I compared the pricing with other supplier’s online Daintree invites were less than half the price and I was very impressed with their website. I wanted something very simple and wanted to keep the invites quite casual seen as I was having a Wedding abroad so I picked the White Fuji invites. When they arrived (which was a speedy delivery) Damien and I decided that we would make them together, he glued the card to the outside cover and I punched the holes and tied the ribbon. I had earlier printed the cards on my home printer using the template that Daintree had online and after only 1 invite "mess up" I was away.

It was lovely to tell people when they called that we had put them together ourselves and people were very surprised to hear this, all reactions that we had were very positive. I felt very valued as a customer and there was someone available immediately to answer a few questions that I had in relation to putting the invitations together. I have to say that the step by step guide on the website was excellent.

If I were to give any advice I would say to enjoy every minute of the Wedding preparation because it really is such a great time and although you can always listen to advice, do everything that you want to do. Don’t stress the day will come and go just the same. In relation to invites go for the "make it yourself" option from Daintree and order up extra just in case, I ordered 10 extra and needed every one of them”.

Bride of the Month - July

Congratulations to
Claudine Desmond and Feargal O'Hara

Claudine was selected as our Bride of the Month for July:
Here's what she had to say:

We (Myself & Feargal O Hara) got married last year April 17, just had our 1st year! One down! We got married in UCC and we had our reception in Barnabrow house in East Cork. We had an amazing day, I can`t believe a year has gone by already.

We used Daintree invites for our wedding and had great fun making them together. It was great being able to add that personal touch. Everyone commented on how nice and unique they where. We then used the motive from the Card to wrap around our favour boxes just to keep the theme going .Also we made our own thank you cards again using the same theme.

If you are thinking of making your own invites, make sure you leave enough time. and not to get stressed out. The only thing that got us through the wedding planning was my trusty filo fax...I would have been lost without it. Also take as much help from people, even if you are a bit of a control freak (like myself!).

We found the Daintree very good, the delivery times especially.The instruction that came with the cards and the on-line demo were all fantastic. We felt that dealing with daintree had a personal feel to it. You knew that you had support if you needed help in any way. Other websites that we came across during our wedding planning were not as personal.

Invite of the Month - July (041)

Congratulations to Lisa Harrison, who designed July's Invitation of the Month.
