Here's an interesting technology find that could be a wonderful tool within the wedding stationery design and print space.
Mac Funamizu has created an Electronic Origami machine (concept only), which helps you print paper 3D models. When I read about this, I instantly thought of couples getting married looking to add those special touches to their day- which are often DIY and painfully time-consuming.
We've been receiving a lot of interest in our wedding stationery builder lately, which is making us even more excited about our upcoming launch :). *happy dance*
So here's a peek at what we've been working on. And here's the back story "Why I'm Building a DIY Wedding Stationery Creator."
There is new type of couple emerging in the wedding industry who is more resourceful, creative, and budget-focused. Our stationery design tool was created specifically with the creative and budget-conscious couple in mind to address their needs in the wedding stationery market.
Looks like we'll be able to have our first batch of testers as early as February. As we draw closer, we'll continue to release more details. Help us spread the word and if you'd like to give it a whirl as an early tester, sign up below.

If you could change anything about the planning process, what would it be? Looking back on planning for my big day, there were a few things that annoyed me a bit. Thought I'd share a few with you.
1. Wedding information overload.
Wedding stuff is everywhere on the web... but you still have to piece it all together like a puzzle. I had no idea what I was getting into when I began planning my wedding. I was disappointed with the lack of concrete and comprehensive resources available online. This was a serious problem for us during our planning.

Garry and Steph met and fell in love in SF. For their engagement video, we metaphorically recreated their meeting and first date. This was made with about 1000 photographs.

Can you believe 2012 is just around the corner?
I thought I'd kick off the week with more wedding start-up inspiration. Since our first wedding start-up watch, I've uncovered six more services to add to the growing list of start-ups entering the wedding space. A few have just launched, while others have been going for months.
I've poked around each one and there are some great ideas being developed. Definitely visit their sites, sign-up, and show them some love on Facebook and Twitter.
Here's the latest round-up!
When you have caring, supportive and awesome people in your corner, it makes a world of difference.
This is Rob, founding partner and CTO.
This is Keryn, our Graphics and UI Designer.
This is Sean, our Front-end Developer.
I'm the luckiest girl ever because I get to work with each of you. Thanks for all of your hard work and devotion! We still have a long way to go, but I coudn't have a better team to get there with.
Mwah!!
Created by the awesome Rob, Hitch'd CTO! Enjoy ;)
I'm loving how wedding fashion and design are evolving, aren't you? I was just admiring runway looks for 2012 and thought I'd curate a collection that I'd love to see in the new crop of wedding looks this spring.
Loving the jewel studded gowns by Giorgio Armani (see the trio below) and the chic Jil Sander paisley pencil dresses. I could see all of these in a wedding- one with a handsome budget, that is.
Did you know we're launching something fun? We'd love for you to join us! Sign up and we'll be in touch with details! Hitch'd FAQ
