  • For weddings: personalized table menus, door gifts, invitation cards, flower bouquets and decorations
  • For corporate events: Door gifts that address a certain segment of the attendees, personalized stationery, greeting cards
  • As an organizer: Personal attention to the client by listening to their requirements with care and attentiveness
  • A personal note from you at the end of a successful event thanking the client and if possible an appropriate thank you gift

These are just simple ideas of how you can make an event personal.
