First Holy Communion is an important moment in the life of a Catholic. It is the first time that an individual receives the Sacrament of the Eucharist, most usually at the age of 7 or 8 years old.

It is a significant moment for friends, family and community around the child undergoing their first communion. To match the formality and gravitas of the occasion, we have put together a collection of First Holy Communion invitations for you to send out to loved ones. After for after the ceremony, we have a range of First Holy Communion thank you cards so you can send out your gratitude for peoples’ attendance and any gifts you may have received.

Anything with flowers on…obviously. But the devils in the detail, and whilst some floral designs are delicately painted in watercolours or acrylics, you’ll find some that are more abstract. We have simple wedding invitations topped with an illustrated motif, as well as some with a more impressionistic, modern floral border. In all cases though, the floral aesthetic is there to give a touch of elegant celebration and levity to your occasion.

We have a particularly lovely range of floral save the date cards that are definitely worth checking out. Or if you’re a little bit further down the wedmin road, checkout our collection of celebratory floral wedding invitations.

Quite simply, a folded card is a sheet of stiff paper that is folded in half to give you, in printing terms, a 4-page card. The business end of a folded card is of course the front page. For the majority of the folded cards on our website, you will have the option to upload a photo (checkout our range of photo thank you cards for weddings for example). The inside is left blank for you to personalise with a bespoke message, or for you to write in once the printed cards arrive.

We offer our wedding thank you cards, new baby thank you cards, and all other folded cards on 2 premium card stocks: 350gsm and 324gsm. The latter stock is lightly textured and has an off-white hue. In both instances though, we score the card prior to folding to ensure that the card does not ‘crack’. Because after all, the small details matter when delivering premium stationery.

Otherwise known as a typeface, a font is a body of letters, glyphs and shapes held together by a common style, shape, weight and pitch. Times Roman is perhaps the most famous example of a font.

Fonts are particularly important to us, as they form a key part of almost all of the design templates on our website. You can select the font you’d like to use in our design suite, and make changes to core elements such as colour, character spacing and weight.

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is a non-governmental organisation that oversees the protection and custody of sustainably managed tress through the supply chain. As trees form the basis of the cards we use, and because environmental responsibility forms a key part of our ethos as a company, FSC certification is an important attribute for us.

The print house that we trust to print all of our stationery products is fully FSC certified (FSC-C001648). This guarantees their upholding of responsible and sustainable management in terms of the paper stocks they put through their printers.

Sadly, we of course already know what a funeral is. It is a ceremony – religious or otherwise – to mark the passing of a friend or loved one.

Relevant to Utterly Printable and the work we do, funerals represent a few key pieces of printed items which it helps to know about.

Firstly, we have a range of printed funeral announcements which can be used to tell the wider community of a recent death and upcoming funeral. We also now offer funeral announcements for WhatsApp and text message, which might particularly interest any customers in a rush.

Secondly, we have our funeral order of service booklets to help attendees navigate their way through the funeral service.

And thirdly, we have our funeral thank you cards for use in thanking well-wishes for all their love and support at a tough time.

Funeral announcement cards are an unfortunate necessity in organising a funeral. Whilst traditionally a funeral was announced by taking out an advert in your local newspaper, the decline of readership has made this let useful. If you’re wondering how to organise a funeral, funeral announcement cards are a good place to start. They hold the details of the upcoming service, and in most cases have room for the photo of the sadly departed.
