Make a great first impression for your wedding with Heritage Save the Date cards!

When planning a wedding, we all look for those little touches that will make our wedding stand out from the others.  I’ve just discovered such a great idea for that first impression- your “save the Date” cards.  With Heritage Makers you have beautiful options to alert your guests of your special day, personalized with your pictures and details.  And so simple to do!  Check out this card I just made for a client of mine:

We’re putting details of their gift registries and hotels on the back side.  Now there are a couple of options to actually print it.

Option 1- Print these on our invitations. The invitations are 5″x7″ and can be printed on both sides. They come in their own satin-finished envelopes and can even be mailed directly to each guest using our new address book (direct shipping right from your own studio).  These range from $1.12 – $1.49 each depending on how many you need.

Option 2- Print these on our deck of cards. This option is so cool!  The decks of cards are just like high-quality playing cards, but they are completely customizable, so you can print whatever you want on them.  They are the size of standard playing cards and have the same rounded corners and glossy finish.  They make a great insert in a small card and cost only 37 cents a piece!  You just can’t beat that!

Get Your Photos OUT of Those Shoeboxes!

Are your photos secure? Easily accessible? Can you share all of your photos and memories with your family? Or are your photos “stored” in an old shoe box in the back of the closet?

Heritage Makers scanning service makes it possible to put all photos onto the computer and straight into Studio so you can build beautiful projects you can share with your family for years to come.

SCANNING PROVIDES:

• Peace of mind knowing your photos are safe from fire, water, and other dangers.
• An easy way to share your photos with all of your friends and family.
• A simple way to get your photos onto the computer and ready for your projects.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

Scanning is a timely, needed service. With the Kodak scanning system, you can simply and efficiently get thousands of photos scanned and preserved for many years.

Did you know that many of the photo scanning services that are available actually mail your photos overseas to be scanned?  That’s why it can take as long as 6 weeks to get your photos back!  We scan your photos on-site; that means you will never worry about your irreplaceable photos being lost in the mail, or on an airline- or even being damaged while it waits in a storage warehouse to be scanned.  Our scanning is quick, easy, and of high quality.

We scan the pictures and in a matter of seconds so you will have digitized photos ready for use immediately.

SAVE TIME AND MONEY

With HM Scanning Service, you can back up and protect photos from damage. Plus, photos can easily be shared with friends and family. Your photos are ready to be uploaded into your own private Heritage Studio and made into beautiful storybooks and projects.

With traditional flatbed scanning, you could spend as many as 6 hours to scan 100 photos. The same amount of pictures can be scanned with HM in only 20 minutes! That’s a huge time difference. The more you scan, the more time you save. In fact, if you scanned 1,000 pictures, you would save more than 62 hours!

Plus, HM scanning service will save money.

Number of Scans	Cost
0-99	$.39/scan
100-499	$.29/scan
500+	$.19/scan

Industry average $.59/scan
