Feel free to use a picture of me in your holiday photo cards; nothing says "Happy Holidays" like my smiling face.

It's the first day of summer, and you know what that means: Weddings and baby showers and babies being born and all the other stuff that people do that needs announcing.

When major events happen, you can deal with them one of two ways. There's the way I do it, which is to say "What? Something happened? Hang on -- I'm almost finished reading this week's Garfield." (That comic requires a lot of thought.)

Or you could, you know, do it right, by making sure that your family and friends and coworkers get a nice, classy announcement or invitation or card. Like a Peachtree card.

Peachtree lets you make your own customized invitations, birth announcement, or even holiday photo cards, and let me tell you, they REALLY take the burden off. Sweetie and I did our own wedding invitations, way way back when, and it was terrible. Buying the paper, finding fonts, printing, folding, blah blah blah.

With Peachtree, though, it's this simple. Find a style you like, like this one:
Then type in your information, email them the photo you want, and you get classy, nice save the date cards, birth announcements, wedding invitations, or more, on good quality cardstock with professional images and typesetting. So you won't have have your wedding invitations all crooked and smudged and thumbprinted. (We told ourselves "that's part of the charm...")

You're going to spend the summer inviting people to things and announcing things to them. Might as well do it right. And now... back to Garfield. I just don't get the joke this week.
