Fab Fetes: Paperless Post

First impressions are important and invites are your event’s first impression.  So when I came across Paperless Post, (think designer evites), I couldn’t wait to throw my next fab fete.

They bring design and fashion to the world of online invites – something Facebook and Evite invites sadly lack.  AND they let you customize the colors, fonts, wording and envelope liner.  What more could you ask for?

I’m planning to use these for my change of address, holiday cards, and engagement party invites – yes I said engagement because I just got engaged!!  FabGabBlog readers will soon be hearing and seeing a lot more about wedding planning in this blog!  (I’m thinking about using the cute black and white bowtie design for my engagement party invite.  It’s not too masculine, not too feminine and adds just the touch of fanciness and elegance that I’m looking for.

And thanks to Paperless Post, all you FabGabBlog readers can enjoy the 25 free custom evites! Enjoy!

Fab Decor: Office Space

Working in events marketing and promotions means my workplace is filled with random objects.  Besides the lookbooks, catalogs, signs and brochures, various non-traditional office items can be found.  Here is an exemplary list of things that make my office a famous stopping ground on the way to the company cooler.

  • wigs and costumes (for street promotions – I had an entire closet bursting with this stuff at my last workplace which made everyday seem like Halloween and made everyone want to stop and play dress up)
  • clothes and accessories (for fashion shows which make me crave a “you can look but don’t touch” sign)
  • CDs (I often double as the event’s DJ and have to choose the music for special events.  Finally, my age-old Columbia House membership has come to good use!)
  • raffle baskets and prizes galore (this could mean anything from a giant Estee Lauder beauty basket sitting on my desk to giant stuffed animals sitting in my extra chairs)
  • fake mustaches, top hats and other crazy props (for a photo booth, not for me.  Really.)
  • tiaras and princess rings (for a kid’s princess party.  Again, I have the silliest time convincing others that these are not for me but for a future work event.)

Naturally, co-workers are tempted to interrupt  me at every walk-by.  They can’t seem to resist inviting themselves in, trying on a tiara or top hat and giggling their way through each new discovery.  I’ll have to post pictures of my office area at some point so you can see what I mean.  But ’til then, I thought I’d post some pretty photos of work spaces that have me yearning for a little more organization and inspired storage space.

Now if only I could figure out a way to store all my strange office stuff without inviting the constant curiosity-peeked interruptions….

Tell me, what does your work space look like and what are your tips on keeping it look tidy and neat?
