Hey all! The Fourth of July is in a little over a week, and my hubby and I have not made plans yet. Let me preface by saying my husband is a Scrooge+Grinch+Oscar the grouch when it comes to ANY celebrations, with one exception, Fourth of July. So I tend to take his love for the holiday and run with it. But I need invitations.
This year we are getting off to a little bit of a last minute start, and I needed some super last minute invitations to throw a fun Fourth of July party.
That’s why I use the Paperless Post! (click here)

Why is the Paperless Post so amazing?
First things first. I love the online invitations for all of my last minute parties. But don’t get me wrong they are not just for last-minute parties they can be for ANY occasion if you are using the right service.
Enter Paperless Post. I have been using them for almost ten years, and they are my go-to choice for invitations. They are not just for e-vites. You can have your cards printed as well. AND, they offer a vast selection of brand names that have designed cards for them like Oscar de la Renta, Paper Source, Kate Spade, and one of my favorites Rifle paper co.
This means you can purchase designer invitations for your event any time you choose! Woo Hoo that’s exciting to me.
The Paperless post makes the process of designing super simple while offering a vast assortment of cards, backgrounds, envelope liners, and flyers to choose from. So even if you use their service a ton, you can mix and match so you will never run out of styles to choose from.
You can choose from free cards and envelops or spring for something extraordinary and purchase Paperless post currency called “coins.” This will allow you to choose most anything your heart desires and craft something exceptional for your party or event.
Here are a few of the celebrities that use the Paperless post: President Barack Obama’s campaign, Diane Von Furstenberg, Zac Posen, Zooey Deschanel, Michael Bloomberg, Ivanka Trump, Khloe Kardashian, and Emma Watson.
