New Look Giveaway #6: Urbanity

~~The giveaway is now CLOSED~~
A great party impresses its guests-even before it starts-with its one-of-a-kind invitations. Urbanity, www.urbanitystudios.com/, is my new source of inspiration for uniquely-designed invitations that represent a memorable celebration. May 2009 marked the company's third anniversary in the business of stationery, invitations, and announcements. Young as it is, Urbanity has established its reputation in both national and local media. Their products are known for their elegant designs, high quality and uniqueness.

My personal favorite from Urbanity is Message in a Bottle, which was featured in October issue of O The Oprah Magazine (2007)-as one of Oprah's Favorite Things, and in Modern Bride-as of of the Top 100 Things We Love. I was sent the Message in a Bottle Invitation in Polka Dot (as pictured above) along with samples of baby announcements, birthday party invitations, thank you cards, and holiday photo cards. The Message in a Bottle includes a lightweight plastic bottle, a wooden cork to seal the bottle, a patterned paper scroll tied in a pink ribbon, and a mailing label attached to the bottle.

The most distinctive feature of the Message in a Bottle invitation is that it can be mailed as is by adhering stamps to the bottle. How cool it is to receive such a party invitation in the mail! I also love that there are several beautiful patterns to choose from, including pink argyle and blue argyle.

Urbanity carries a large number of exclusive designs that are not found elsewhere. Check out these adorable Birth announcements.


Would you like to surprise your friends with the good news on a baby bib adorned with a satin ribbon?

How about this 3-D crib and rug ensemble?

In addition to their unique and modern designs, Urbanity products also stand out in the following aspects:
  • Customers can change the colors of any element of most designs for FREE.
  • A variety of sizes and shapes are available to meet different needs
  • Customers can request a PDF proof emailed to them before they order so that they can see what their personalized design will look like
Urbanity also has a specail holiday collection, including spooky Halloween Invitations. When you order at www.urbanitystudios.com/ now through 12/31/2009, you may use code Holiday2009 to receive 10% off orders of $50 or more. Also remember to join Club Urbanity to receive FREE shipping on every order you make during 2009. Membership is completely FREE!
