We have put our life savings into our wedding stationery business,<a title=\"Ivy Ellen\" href=\"http:\/\/www.5starweddingdirectory.com\/listing\/ivy-ellen-luxury-wedding-invitations-and-stationery.html\" rel=\"nofollow\"> Ivy Ellen<\/a>, which launched at the National Wedding Shows in October and recently showed at the prestigious Designer Wedding Show. The irony, of course, is that much of the artwork for our cards is prepared on Apple Macs, being a Mac fan I\u2019m very disappointed in them,\u201d &#8211; says wedding stationery, Jeremy Corner,<a title=\"wedding invitations\" href=\"http:\/\/ivyellenweddinginvitations.co.uk\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Ivy Ellen Ltd.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of the advantages of the new system is that it is could be more environmentally friendly as it uses a paperless system and therefore appeals to the Green Wedding sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThree to four trees are planted for every tree cut down to make the paper for our wedding stationery. Our products actually <em>grow<\/em> forests. According to <em>The Sunday Times<\/em> scientists have found that performing two internet searches is comparable to bringing a kettle to boil. God knows what C02 those billions of daily internet clicks are really emitting, but online wedding stationery systems certainly won\u2019t be planting trees like our FSC accredited suppliers are\u201d \u2013 says Jeremy<\/p>\n<p>He continues: \u201cI think it will be a real shame if couples move away from traditional invitation sending. It feels so special to receive something personal like a wedding invitation or wedding thank you card through the post. Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life, it deserves more than an email.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read Ivy Ellen\u2019s blog\u00a0 http:\/\/ivyellenweddinginvitations.co.uk\/weddinginvitations\/<\/p>\n<p>Details of Apple\u2019s new patent can be found at\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a title=\"PetentyApple.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.patentlyapple.com\/patently-apple\/2010\/04\/apple-introduces-us-to-a-new-itunes-concert-ticket-system.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">patentlyapple.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Details of Paper\u2019s great environmental story can be found at\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">twosides.info<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ipad new wedding application may be a threat to wedding industry Still basking in the success of their recent iPad launch, Apple is not content with grabbing a massive market share of the music, entertainment and mobile phone markets.
