Printing Terms - Volume 2

Recently, I've had some requests for "tea length" wedding invitations. Tea length is a fancy term for an invitation sized to fit in a #10 envelope (regular business sized) envelope. So, the invitation is usually sized about 4" x 9". There are two options for envelopes for tea length invites. There is the regular #10 envelope, shown in the top diagram, with a square flap. There is also the policy envelope, shown in the botton diagram. The policy envelope opens on the short side, instead of on the top. Policy envelopes can be hard to find. Paper Source has a great selection of them, in a variety of colors. I also found this website that has a nice chart of envelope sizes and terms that could be helpful.

Moon over New Jersey

Here's a photo I took while back on the East Coast for the Holidays. I was trying to photograph the moon through the trees, which didn't turn out too clearly, as you can see. But I sort of like the effect it created, with the trees on the bottom, going from blue to black.
