GPS and Associates Launches new International Background Checks

Godrej Profile Screening doing business as GPS and Associates is a pioneer in the background screening industry. GPS has expanded its services to conduct background checks in India. Chief Executive Officer Andrew Gomez said, “A good number of engineers and other professionals come to our country from India and it would be prudent for companies hiring these individuals, to do their due diligence”. Although India does not have a very organized system or a central registry of crimes or arrests, we have made inroads by researching the respective police departments at the city and town level, and we are able to conduct accurate criminal searches. The kind of information our clients obtain from the applicant becomes crucial in obtaining accurate and timely information.”

The company has obtained contracts with several technology and background screening companies to verify applicants that are migrating or coming here on a work visa. Although the GPS is known for it’s fast and accurate turnaround in Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands and Guam, GPS aims to do the same with searches conducted in India.

GPS was established by Andy Gomez in 1990 and incorporated first in 1992. GPS was one of the first companies to conduct international background checks while doing a lot of Pre-employment background checks right here in the U.S. In a recent speech to Human Resource managers ,CEO Andrew Gomez stressed the importance of knowing who is being hired. He said ” It is vital for all human resource personnel to make certain that due diligence is a integral part of the hiring process, companies need to conduct criminal background checks for loss prevention and other forms of liabilities. International searches are crucial this day and age”.

Entrepreneur Goes From Living in His Truck, To Making a Deal in ‘The Den’

 Entrepreneur Anthony Jones successfully closed a deal with two Dragon’s Den investors on the November 20, 2013 airing of the show. Jones, thrilled at the outcome, explains how he lived out of his half-ton truck when he first started, to build the business literally from the ground up.

“I remember waking up from the sound of the engine running in my half-ton truck at 5am after a night of sleeping in the back seat. I would park every evening at the local truck stop and I would prepare the back seat with the two “large doggy pillows” that I had scrambled for the cash to purchase, (my reason for the doggy pillows was that they are packed with hay and insulation so not to create dampness and humidity,) lay down my sleeping bag, put on my sweatpants, hooded sweater, 2 layers of socks, turn up the radio and fall asleep. When I woke up, I would climb into the front seat and drive to the local YMCA, use the facilities, shower, gym and bathroom – I would get cleaned up and would head off to work. I would buy food that didn’t have a shelf life and would only eat when I needed because I was more worried about having enough money to purchase fuel to stay warm…that was my priority. After a long day’s work I would repeat the same routine.”

Jones is no stranger to business, in fact, prior to starting “Hunky Haulers” he successfully ran a commercial sub-contracting construction company at the age of 19, with $600 to his name. By the time he was 29, they were up to $20 million in labor contracts ($300 million in labor and supply signed contracts to fulfill.) As a result, Jones moved his operations outside of Canada and set up his business in the United States. Unfortunately, in the fall of 2008 when the recession hit, Anthony had to liquidate this business in order to ensure he could make payroll due to uncollectable receivables. By January of 2009, he had to lay off over 200 union men and women employees and start from scratch.

“When I lost my business in 2009 after the recession – I remember thinking, now what? Now it’s going to get hard, what do I do? I started Hunky Haulers in March of 2011 based on an idea to be in a business that would allow me the opportunity to serve the community and give back, I wanted to create something that changed the way people looked at the service industry – the way the service industry looked at the community and the way we empowered businesses, people, churches, charities, ideas, sports programs – around us” said Anthony Jones, CEO of Hunky Haulers. “When I received the email from the producers of CBC’s hit show – Dragons Den, I immediately was excited but was nervous and scared because I didn’t know how I could afford to get there –I mustered up the courage, the little money I had and started driving, didn’t look back and the rest is history. The most important thing that I learned from this experience is that EVERYTHING that is most important to you – that matters the most, WILL fit into a half ton truck, everything else in life is trivial…”

Lamp Post Electrical Store All The Elnur Heat

Lamp Post Electrical have great pleasure in promoting the Elnur range of Storage Heaters. Storage Heaters were once the poor relatives of the heating area as the cost of gas became so much cheaper than the electrical or oil equivalents. In those days storage heaters were limited in their operation and ability but today there has been a whole new range of storage radiators which compete very fairly with the modern gas systems in certain areas and there is a great potential for their further growth in the market. Lamp Post Electrical and Elnur have some of the best and can supply them quickly.

Lamp Post Electrical are delighted to stock the full Elnur Storage Heater range as this is a company which has spent a lot of time and effort in developing some of the best storage heaters on the market. The quality is excellent and the performance is surprisingly good and the latest storage heater is a far cry from the heaters of old and the cost of operation is quite competitive.

Storage Heaters now have a number of niche areas where they dominate the market and Lamp Post Electrical and the Elnur Storage Heaters have risen to the challenge. Apartment living is a major area for storage heaters as there are many areas in large populated apartment blocks where gas has been excluded because of the fire and explosion dangers which are magnified when there is such close proximity between residents. Also the apartment rental market is ideally suited to the installation of a storage heater heating system as it is easy to control by the landlords and easy to use by the renters. This market used to have to pay extra for their heating costs but today the storage heater has improved so much that the heater can be heated at night by cheap electricity on the white meter and discharged the following day and night. Lamp Post Electrical are amazed at the insulation of the latest Elnur Storage Heaters which ensures that the natural heat loss from the storage heater is very small which makes almost all the input heat available to heat the room. The emission of the stored heat is now expertly maintained by digital temperature controllers to ensure correct room temperature.

Lamp Post Electrical can supply all the Elnur range of heaters including the top of range fan controlled storage heaters which can bring the room up to temperature quickly and keep excellent control through the evening. The controllers can be linked to a central control to work exactly as a gas or oil fired system with set periods for heating in the morning and evening. Whilst the cost of use is slightly higher than gas the cost of installation of a storage heater system is very much lower than a gas fired system and the total cost when averaged over the life of the systems is very similar.

Black Friday: Is Thanksgiving Thursday 8pm Becoming The New Black Friday Midnight?

Black Friday is that time of the year in the US shopping calendar after Thanksgiving that sees thousands of shoppers flock retail outlets to take advantage of massive discounts that are offered for many items on sale. Its said Black Friday is the weekend that begins the Christmas shopping season in America.

Retails stores traditionally opened their doors on Friday after Thanksgiving but it seems with tough economic times and the pressure to increase sales, there has been a shift and more retail stores are beginning to open up their stores on Thanksgiving Thursday at around 8pm.

On October 14th Macy’s sent out a press release announcing that they will be opening up their nationwide stores at 8 p.m on Thanksgiving evening for the first time. The Cincinnati-based chain said they did this in response to interest from customers who prefer to start their shopping early.

Kohl’s Department Stores that operates 1,158 stores across the country announced on Monday 21st that their stores will be open for 28 hours straight – from 8 p.m Thursday, November 28 through midnight Friday nationwide.

J.C. Penney has also not been left behind among the big retailers opening business on Thanksgiving. They are doing so for the first time this year. Last year, companies that opened up on Thanksgiving night included Sears, Target, Toys R Us, Kmart and Walmart.

What have been the customer reactions to these changes? A visit to some of the retailers Facebook pages revealed interesting insights on what people thought Patti Simoes Burgess said, “I don’t like that they are going to make their employees work on Thanksgiving. Macy’s used to be my favorite store to go to for Black Friday when I lived in NY. Now I wouldn’t even consider shopping at one because of that. I boycott all stores on Thanksgiving that are open. Workers have a right to be with their families.”

Andrea Lindsey supported JCPenney’s move and said, “It is necessary, because at least in my area almost everyone else is doing the same thing, and in the retail world you have to be competitive.”

Greta Foose strongly disagreed with Kohl’s opening date saying, “The Stores have already commercialized the holidays enough without being open on Thanksgiving day. I will not be shopping with you.”

According to National Retail Federation, consumers will take a conservative approach to spending this holiday season. According to NRF’s holiday consumer spending survey conducted by Prosper Insights & Analytics, the average holiday shopper will spend $737.95 on gifts, décor, greeting cards and more, two percent less than the $752.24 they actually spent last year.

The Door Store Has That Summer Calypso Feeling

The Door Store is always looking to improve the range of doors its supplies to the building and Do It Yourself (DIY) trade and each year seems to bring a more interesting range to the already massive selection that the company stocks. The Door Store uses several excellent manufacturers but one of the major ones is JB Kind and this company never seem to disappoint in the issue of new and exciting designs. Their latest range of internal doors is the Calypso range, a range, which epitomises the Caribbean and all that the name evokes.

JB Kind have supplied the Door Store for many years and their new models of doors definitely fit the modern market requirements and this year their new range seems to reflect the hot summer we have had and which is forecast to continue well into September. The Calypso range is a pine door range made for the more modern house or perhaps more correctly the more modern decorated house. This range of doors is a white primed pine door range of the typical shaker style and includes glass panels of various configurations. The design has clean simple lines that will go very well in today’s modern buildings.

The Door Store is pleased to promote the JB Kind Calypso Trinidad Internal Door in particular, which is typical of the range and is a white primed pine door with 3 vertical glass panels. This door is ideal for fitting in halls or rooms where there is an advantage of getting light from one room into another. The vertical glass panels are made from clear safety glass to protect against any potential breakage accidents which may occur. This range of doors is ideal for that summer feeling and will let light into places which may be quite difficult at present.

There is always a discussion to be had regarding the use of pine doors with glass inserts as by definition they do not provide a safety door application so that in the event of a fire they are unable to provide a time barrier between rooms for possible escape, also they do make privacy between rooms difficult or impossible as they do not provide good sound protection or visual privacy to any real degree. Therefore on installing these doors it is necessary to weigh up the options and if a fire door or a privacy door is considered essential then the Door Store has the options available.

The Door Store – http://www.the-door-store.co.uk – notes that the JB Kind Calypso Trinidad Internal Door is made with a central pine core and faced with MDF, which is primed white to enable the end user to get the door painted to their preferred finish, with no need for an extra layer of undercoat.

The manufacture is very good and will grace most applications and comes at a price that is extremely competitive and also has the extra benefit of a 5% discount when 10 doors or more are bought at the same time. This is a door well worth considering.

Ace Sheds For The Gardens Of London

Ace Sheds are pleased to have their manufacturing facilities in Ashford in Kent which is on the doorstep of London and which can supply a full range of high quality garden sheds to the Capital City. There is a strong feeling that London is a concrete jungle and that gardens and hence garden sheds are an irrelevance. However the people of London will tell a very different story and whilst this might apply to a limited area of London, the vast area of Metropolitan London has an array of gardens that will surprise many a countryside visitor.

Ace Sheds are very proud to serve London with a range of garden sheds in London that can meet almost any requirement of the user, quickly and at a cost that is very cheap. Ace Sheds are very proud to note that the cost does not stop them producing a very high quality garden shed, which can be self-erected swiftly and easily by the owners of the property. Ace Sheds have recognised some of the individual requirements for the London shed and produce a range to meet that market place and if there any gaps they are only too pleased to discuss personal preferences and changes or even build a self-design shed.

Ace Sheds realise that the cycle is a major way of travelling in London, it is easier and often quicker that the car and of course is not subject to the Congestion charge. Keeping a cycle requires a storage area and Ace Sheds are proud to provide the London Bike Shed which stores the cycle safely and securely outside the house the size is small and will conveniently fit into a small space in the back garden. The London Bike Shed has been built with security in mind.

Storage is always going to be a major problem in London and the garden shed can provide a great storage facility in an area where household space is often at a premium and the cost of a solid building extension is very high and planning approval or practical space to install it is often impossible. Ace Sheds have realised this and provide very cost effective solutions. The Reigate Shed is one of the Ace Shed models, which are ideal for London. The shed provides good storage and is a security shed built to deter unwanted attention from prying eyes. Firstly the standard model has just one small window fitted up high and impossible for any person to access. It could even be removed if required. Ace Sheds are proud to have fitted tongued and grooved wooden sides that cannot be accessed without destroying the shed. The doors and its fittings are secure and Ace Sheds can fit a high quality locking system and can also provide a shed burglar alarm, which can be linked to alarm the owner at home.

Ace Sheds provide potting sheds for the gardener and a complete range of other applications and a quick look at their excellent website will show just how relevant the garden shed is to a London household.

Kent’s busiest wedding planner reveals Top Wedding Tips

You’re a fiancée! The man of your dreams has taken the plunge, you have a gorgeous sparkler of a ring and he wants to marry you! The honeymoon period has well & truly kicked in & dreams are about to come true. Then the planning fear arrives as the spider web of preparing for the wedding of the year actually becomes a reality. Not only do you need to think about both the necessities and those luxurious extra’s you may wish to have to personalise your day, but there’s a hundred companies all claiming to be the best in town for every service that you could imagine. Wedding fairs seem to make it worse as you peruse aisles of cakes, flowers, suits, photographers…each offering a better deal than the previous. Magazines bamboozle you with nationwide companies that bring you innovative, new and unique ideas.

“Where do I start?” You ask as panic sets it….

Stop! Put the magazines & goodie bags brimming with fliers, cards and special offers down. Breathe…….

Remember your day is exactly that. Wedding planning does not need to be stressful – it should be an enjoyable build up to your big day.

Your Budget

Assuming you have not planned a wedding before, this task can seem daunting. It’s easy to get carried away looking at all the options and sometimes there’s just too much choice! The ideas are flowing and the excitement is reaching fever pitch as you discover endless possibilities of loveliness and joyous wonder. Try to narrow down between yourself and your partner what your hopes, likes and priorities are for your big day because as always there’s a baddie to every fairy tale and in this story it’s the BUDGET! Unfortunately the Big Bad Budget rears his ugly head in many inappropriate places and it will seem incredibly difficult to budget when you have no idea of how much everything costs. We advise you to collect at least 3 quotes for each item that you are thinking of hiring or buying to seek the best value for money and where possible avoid saying you need it for a wedding as the “W” word means mega-bucks! Maybe chat to your venue at this point to see if they have recommended suppliers that may do offers in conjunction with the venue, but do remember, if you have a limit to stick to don’t be afraid to haggle and pull in favours where you can. So Auntie Brenda’s a dab hand at cake baking….voila, cake sorted!

So, what next?

Decide between yourselves do you like modern or classic, a sit down meal or buffet, indoors or out, flamboyant or quaint. From this you will have an idea of key things to look for in a venue. Also draw up a preliminary list of guests so that you have a guest number to work with. This all sounds very sensible but it is also very necessary. You can then splurge your time on the fun parts; picking out a shortlist of venues and visiting them, brainstorming themes, colours, things to include, joining wedding forums to get opinions and ideas and chatting to your venue for ideas of what works well in their space.

There are countless blogs and articles that can offer advice of wedding ideas so it may be worth perusing these however in some circumstances it can be much less stressful to leave it to the professionals! Ensure you have checked with your venue to see if they offer a set up service so that you can concentrate solely on yourself on the morning of your big day. Also check to see if they will book your Registrars for you and offer various planning meetings and tastings to make your journey stress free!

Seating your loved ones

Some of the more interesting experiences you may have to contend with are the wonders of family politics which leads swiftly onto where to seat everyone. It may take you several attempts to work out how this is going to please all your guests, resulting in some people being sat outside, however the most important thing to remember is this is your day! Try not to let guests dictate to you who they want to sit with and do not be afraid to put guests where YOU want them to be. Some Brides like to encourage friends and family to mix so purposely put strangers together. This can bode well for the evening as everyone parties together in a slightly worse state! Other Brides feel that it is important to have family closer or all their important key guests on the top table with them. If there are too many split family members to factor in, the simplest answer is to have a romantic top table for two!

What to say?

As a wife to be, one of your duties may be to calm the nerves of your jittery Groom before his big speech. Traditionally he won’t have the pressure that’s carried by the Best man to tell all, but lend him an understanding ear & advise him the following;

Write from the heart about how you met and how pleased he is to be standing there with you by his side. If he is very nervous, seek advice from the Duty Manager or Toastmaster as they speak to the crowds more often and every venue’s sound system and acoustics differ. Encourage him to enjoy it and speak clearly and slowly. Write the speech down but do not read from it on the day – Practice, practice, practice so he is familiar with its flow & appropriate pauses for gags! But most importantly email a copy to himself, an Usher (NOT the Bestman……too easy to give him a heads up on how to annihilate your Groom later in his speech!) and even your venue so that he cannot lose it! I can assure you that a lost speech will send his stress levels over the top!

Can I book the Weather?

So, you have a beautiful venue, an array of gorgeous decorations and the finest food and drink. You have booked a top Photographer, Videographer, musician and classic car……there’s only one thing that could possibly trouble you now. The Great British Weather! Unfortunately there’s very little that can be said for this as it’s as unpredictable as a two year old in the “speak now or forever hold your peace” part of the ceremony, however you can certainly make the best of it and prepare for any weather. Some say there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather, Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up and snow is exhilarating. Just don’t pin your hopes on radiant sunshine, instead factor in cute wraps for your Bridesmaids, comical wellies and umbrella’s for you and your groom, maybe even a rubber duck to add to the photo’s! The more humour that you can bring to your day, the more you will relax and remember it for all the right reasons. I have met many a Bride that knows their local weather station worker on first name terms after calling every day for a month in the run up to their wedding and it really cannot change the weather on the day! You may also wish to discuss with your venue what they can do in the event of bad weather and where guests would go if they cannot get outside. After all they must have had a rainy day before now!

Gift giving etiquette

Arguable one of the more fun sides to your wedding planning is deciding what gifts to ask for on your big day. If you and your hubby-to-be have already set up house together, another toaster, sandwich maker or George Foreman Grill may not be so warmly received. It has been highly recommended to me to set aside a day to take a trip around your local John Lewis scanning favourable items and creating a desirable wedding list to put in your invites, after all it’s not often we feel a tagine or nest of coffee tables is an important and necessary purchase. The alternative of course, is to request Honeymoon donations that will help you fly off into the sunset together instead of jumping on a donkey in Blackpool . This is becoming much more common and a witty ditty in the invitations is all that is needed.

“We are sending out this invitation
In hope you will join our celebration
But if a gift is your intention
May we take this opportunity to mention
We have already got a kettle and toaster
crockery, dinner mats and matching coaster’s.
So rather than something we’ve already got
We would appreciate money for our honeymoon pot
But most importantly we request
That you come to our wedding as our guest.”

Mr & Mrs!

Before I draw conclusion on tips to “Keep calm & plan your stress free wedding” there is one very important item to remind all excited Brides to be. Choose your married name and practice your signature! This all sounds very obvious but really is the most exciting thing! Will you keep your maiden name, double-barrel yourselves to be the next Middleton-Windsor’s or simply immerse yourself in the glory of becoming Mrs Windsor. Then create a master piece of a brand new signature that you take pride in and allows a small smile to escape every time you sign it! You’re a MRS!!!!!!

White Owl Messaging: Messages From Beyond The Grave

The  White Owl Messaging service is being used by many Baby Boomers and as an effective  “Grief Support Tool” by health care agencies and social workers. It allows the individual to continue to share in special life events that they will not be alive for. These messages and gifts can be delivered for birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, graduations, weddings or any special occasion the client requests. Customized ordering allows for “One time delivery”, “Multiple year delivery”, and for special life events that currently do not have a known delivery date. For unknown delivery dates the client uses the “Add a guardian” to the product. This appointed Guardian then enters that delivery date in when it becomes known: Ideal for graduations and weddings! For those who find the messages offensive and do not wish to receive these messages, the company has provided a way the individual can “Opt Out”.

White Owl Messaging understands that this service is very personal for the client and the recipient, they have put together a broad  catalog of  gift ideas that closely align that represent your personal relationships. You will find items to suit all types of relationships, interests and budgets.

With this unique service you can have your messages, gifts, and that last round of drinks at your favorite pub to be shared after you pass. The client can place orders years in advance, their account remains dormant until notification of their passing is received, at which time the account is activated. This lets those you leave behind feel they have a way to stay connected, and know they are loved in a manner that is unique to your relationship. This service is a story that ties the old fashion values of family and love to the modern technology of the internet. It is also something everyone wishes they had.

White Owl Messaging founder  Marianne Turner-Marken says that it is the relationships she has formed over the years that inspired her to create White Owl Messaging. Her work as a SpecialtyPediatric/Hospice nurse in Arizona’s San Tan Valley also played a role in this decision. The work showed her the need for these kinds of connections when a family loses someone. But it was running across a letter written by her mother years before she died that told her just how important it is be able to reach out to those we love to help them heal. It was to lay the foundation for how she could help others do it as well.

StoryCrafters, Ink. Now Offers Story Critique and Development Services for Aspiring and Professional Authors

StoryCrafters, Ink began as a small group of literature and storytelling aficionados hoping to recruit local writers and share their talents amongst one another in a co-op of creativity. Their ranks swelled soon after, leading them to research the possibility of widening the scope of the endeavor.

They worked together to build a website, then solicited clients on social media by offering to critique short stories for free. The response was overwhelming – in just two weeks, they had received over 100 critique requests.

“Aspiring writers have very few avenues to receive a professional look at their work,” Mark Johnson, an organizer for the group, said. “We just want to help our fellow creatives with achieving their dreams.”

StoryCrafters, Ink offers story critique and development services for short stories, novels, novels, non-fiction pieces, poetry and other forms of literature. StoryCrafters, Ink. also offers screenplay coverage and critical analysis services. Their basic package – the “critical analysis / critique service” provides writers with a 3-5 page thematic, plot and characterization analysis of their submission. They also offer professional revision and proofreading services.

For writers looking to engage with their readership, StoryCrafters also offer an “author sites” service, providing a highly visible, easily accessible, web-based platform and social media plan.

Every “StoryCrafter”, a term for their reviewers, has earned at least a graduate level degree in their creative discipline, and many are currently pursuing their PhDs. We also require every StoryCrafter to provide proof of having created a substantial body of work (beyond their Master’s thesis) in their discipline.

“We truly believe in the power of the narrative,” Mr. Pendergraft says. “Literature has, and always will be, the driving force for social change.”

Writers can take aim at writer’s block and reclaim their creativity today. VisitStoryCrafters, Ink.

Beauty Call Welcomes Berkshire and Oxfordshire Franchisee Takeover

The UK-based wedding hair and makeup agency is proud to announce that one of its popular franchisees will be relocating to a new region in 2013.

Brides in Reading, Berkshire and Oxfordshire will soon be able to book highly experienced beauty specialist Kim Laney to help them prepare their hair and makeup on the day of their wedding.

Kim has been transforming nervous brides-to-be in the South East of England on behalf of the Beauty Call franchise for some time and has picked up hundreds of appointments in the Portsmouth, Southampton and Bournemouth postcodes. She originally trained with prestigious makeup college Brushstrokes before turning her hand to numerous TV and film projects with FilmFour and working to help produce ads with designer clothing powerhouse Levi’s.

It has recently been announced that Kim is to move a little further north to take over long-standing franchisee Danielle, who has decided to move to Australia to pursue further career opportunities.

The company’s Marketing Director is sad to see such a talented member of the team leave his books but wishes Danielle the very best of luck for the future.

“We have developed great relationships with our franchisees and can safely say that Danielle will be very much missed. We would like to take the opportunity to thank her for all her hard work during her time with Beauty Call,” he says. “She raised a great deal of awareness of our company in the local area and has always been highly praised by her large client base, so we’re sure she’ll be a blinding success down under too.

“Though we’re sad to see Danielle leave, we’re more than happy to hand over the reins to Kim, who already comes highly recommended by her previous clients on the South Coast,” he adds.

For images, customer testimonials and general information on any of the franchisees currently working on behalf of Beauty Call in the UK, please visit the company’s ‘Artists’ page. Those interested in learning more about becoming a franchisee for the agency are encouraged to email the team directly.

PosePrints Wins the Red Tricycle “2012 Totally Awesome Awards” for “Most Awesome Creative Card Suppliers”

Where do the busiest and best parents go to get the skinny on what to do, see, eat, and buy? In 2011, 25 million readers weighed in on that question at the 2011 Red Tricycle Totally Awesome Awards, which showcases the “best in parenting brands, products, services and restaurants” of several major metropolitan areas. And for the 2012 Awards (over 6,000 businesses participated), PosePrints snatched the “Most Awesome Creative Card Suppliers” award away from such arch-competitors as Shutterfly, Minted and Tiny Prints, with a whopping 206,650 votes.

PosePrints started as the creative brainchild of Jen Moss (a self-taught artist) and her mother (a financier). Their mutual love of homemade crafts and aversion to pre-fab stationary developed into a line of distinctively whimsical and customizable stationary, magnets, business cards and notepads. What makes their line stand apart is the vibrancy of Moss’ art and the near-infinite variations on each theme you can customize to your likeness. Whether it’s a thank you note, birthday invitation, or a wedding program – the better-than-your-average-avatar caricatures you can create (custom: eyelashes, hair accessories, bling, and more), make the party happen before the party itself.

Magazines for savvy brides and parents can’t gush enough about PosePrints’ offerings. “My one stop-shop for all my stationary needs”, raves Manhattan Mom Blog. “Sure to make your guests accept with pleasure,” enthuses Bridal Guide Magazine . Though some of PosePrints’ competitors have been at the stationary game longer, PosePrints won the day because they’ve come up with a winning model: singularly custom invitations and gifts so charming they can (and do) double as gifts.
