I need to hire a crafty nestie...

Are there any nesties handy with paper crafts?  I need to find someone to make, print and mail about 20-25 invitations, make coordinating water bottle labels for 2 cases of water and 35 coordinating favor tags. 

Ive been scouring etsy, but I cant find someone to do all of it for me.

I'm not crafty and I don't have the time to get this all done. I'm hoping to have invites in the mail by the 3rd week of February. 

Anyone? Or does anyone know of an etsy seller who can do all of this for me? 

Obviously, I'd pay your time, supplies and postage. :)

    H's bday party, (I swear I'm going to stop talking about this soon!)

    I don't have a theme, per say. I'm just trying to make a night of all of his favorite things.  

  • Hmmm, what does he enjoy..

    I could say I'd do it but that depends on what I've got that works with what he likes etc. (they'd most likely be hand-stamped cards with the info printed inside)

  • I have been making a bunch of stuff for my SIL's shower. When do you need it? 

    ETA: I just saw the 3rd week of Feb.

    Do you have any ideas of what you want? What are some of his favorite things?

    So far:

    Ive ordered the Mario cake, we're playing laser tag and then going to a bar after. I'm also ordering the Lego bricks candy as favors for the guests.

    I have this creepy, yet funny, photo shopped picture of him that a friend made a few years ago and I was hoping to incorporate that into the card, tags and labels. I'd be open to ideas though. I'm kinda at a loss on the design right now.

    I, literally, have zero ideas on how the invites and stuff should look.

    In addition to the laser tag, bar/beer, Mario cake and Lego candy blocks, other things he likes are tintin, geography and travel, sports, video games, cars, typical guy stuff. 

    I feel so bad for missing our anniversary this year that I have to make this party the best ever.

    No worries if you can't, I'm going to keep scouring etsy, but I thought I'd check here since so many of you are creative and crafty

  • If no one on TN works out, I have a *great* graphic designer that lives in Snohomish who makes incredible invitations and peripheral materials.  I used her for my wedding and she made stunning save-the-dates, really cool invites out of lucite with a wrap and ribbon, and then she made all the peripherals as well - programs, name cards, menus, our seating cards, the personalized drink cards we did, itineraries for the bridal party, welcome bag tags and tourist information, etc.  In other words - she can do everything you'd want.

    She's not cheap (the STD was $6 I think?  Which would probably be comparable to your invite in design / complexity...), but she does amazing, amazing work.  If you're interested, she's at www.papermoxie.com.  I can e-mail you pictures of the stuff she did for me if you want, but she also has a pretty extensive portfolio online.  She could probably take some of the things you mentioned above and run with it.

    why not?

  • I'd have my DH do it for you (he went to school for graphic design and is really good - he made our invites and everything!), but we don't have a printer. LOL We still need to get one. But if we had one, I'd definitely volunteer him!
