just a little reminder for y’all ❤️ last night i had a brief but amazingly empowering DM exchange with a beautiful entrepreneur here on the gram i was able to provide her some assistance with taking her biz to the next level. but that’s not what made it amazing she told me that God was urging her to take the next step and, though it was scary, He does not want us to dwell in a spirit of fear THAT was powerful and that’s what stuck with me. while i was helping her, she helped ME with her brief reminder i’m not always walkin on sunshine, y’all. i post messages of support + encouragement to let you know i’m here for you in whatever season you’re in but also to remind myself to get MY head + my heart right so thank you for letting me in to a moment of your day to speak words of positivity + truth - they’re for me just as much as they are for you! * * * #creativebusiness #mycreativebiz #creativebiz #createyourhappy #mycreativecommunity #creativehappylife #creativebusinessowner #creativesofinstagram #calledtobecreative #femalefounded #dontquityourdaydream #seekinspirecreate #pursueyourpassion #branddesigner #weddingstationer #creativeeveryday #brandstylist #thatsdarling #creativepreneur #womenempowerwomen #femalecreatives #mompreneur #dreambelieveachieve #blackownedbusiness #blackgirlmagic #yeswecan #yeshewill #motivation #wegotthis 
place cards, escort cards, seating charts......do i really need those? maybe, maybe not. first: what's the difference? a place card is situated at the assigned table AND seat at your reception. place cards are ideal for a more formal reception and/or for plated meals when your guests have made a meal selection escort cards and seating charts are located in one area of your reception and inform guests of the table they'll be sitting at but leave them free to choose their own seat at the table so which to choose, if any? if you're having an informal, backyard reception with ample seating, feel free to skip the signage BUT if your reception is being held in a hall or event space, you'll need at the least escort cards or a seating chart. why? your guests will naturally tend to spread out unevenly, leaving empty seats at the tables which may require more tables to be brought in if you've offered guests a choice for their meal, place cards or escort cards with their meal choice noted are a necessity for the wait staff. if you chose to use escort cards for this, be sure you've somehow noted that guests should bring the cards with them to the table 😉 some brides chose to use both escort cards or a seating chart along with place cards - one central location for guests to find their table and the place card at their seat so does that clear it up for you? which one will you be going with? let me know in the comments! * * * * * #etsywedding #microwedding #brideonabudget #weddingindustry #weddingshop #ctbride #ctwedding #bridetobe #imgettingmarried #heproposed #isaidyes #ido #imengaged #futuremrs #diybride #engagedtothedetails #weddingstationery #etsybride #engaged #darlingmovement #weddingseason #shesaidyes #weddingtips #weddinginspo #weddingwednesday #weddingbusiness #connecticutbride #2021bridetobe #bridetobe2022 #letselope 
how this 9-5 workin’, business runnin’, single mama solopreneur gets it all done ✔️ when they say running a business is WERK, girl, i get it. juggling all the things is hard. so i wanted to share with you the tools i’m using that make it easier for me - and, in some cases - do the work for me! first up is my beloved crm @mydubsado. i’ll sing their praises all.day.long! proposals, contracts, invoices, questionnaires....and my favorite part: automation! if you’re looking for a crm, this is it! (and check out the link in my profile to save some $$) serving my email list is easy with @flodesk. the templates are gorgeous so i can stay in touch with my tribe and look beautiful while doing it. they’re also awesome with customer service + adding new features now, @asana took me a minute to get on board with cuz i thought “i don’t need another app. i can manage just fine without”. girl, i was wrong!! if you’re looking for flexible project management, check out asana. AND there’s a free version 😘 i’ve gone back and forth with social media apps but i keep coming back to @plannthat. i love the grid layout, i can schedule posts + stories and they also have a desktop version - helpful for some who don’t do everything on their phone 😜 those are just a few of the tools i use but they’re used the most often. what tools are you using? anything i should check out? lemme know in the comments! * * * #creativebusiness #mycreativebiz #creativebiz #createyourhappy #mycreativecommunity #creativehappylife #creativebusinessowner #creativesofinstagram #calledtobecreative #femalefounded #dontquityourdaydream #seekinspirecreate #pursueyourpassion #branddesigner #weddingstationer #creativeeveryday #brandstylist #thatsdarling #creativepreneur #womenempowerwomen #femalecreatives #mompreneur #dreambelieveachieve #blackownedbusiness #blackgirlmagic #businesstools #organizationforcreatives #tuesdaytips

this might sound like a silly question but, do you have business cards for your biz? it might seem like we’re in an age where the standard business card is no longer relevant but i beg to differ!! and their usage goes well beyond just a means to distribute the basic information..... you can use them as hang tags, include a unique discount code, use the back side for appointment reminders. how about loyalty or referral cards? an idea i love: add a qr code - link it to your website, a payment portal, or maybe even a personal message to your customers! how are you using your business cards? are you doing something unique?? share with me below 👇🏽👇🏽 @moyo.studio * * * #branding #creativebusinessbranding #graphicdesign #thatsdarling #designstudio #communityovercompetition #logodesign #followyourbliss #ladyboss #mamaboss #brandstylist #creativepreneur #mompreneur #creativebiz #bossbabe #custombranding #behappynow #customlogo #brandstyling #ecclecticstyle #findyourjoy #calledtobecreative #savybusinessowner #beautifulbrand #socialmediamarketing #brandingdesign #bossbabetribe #femalefounded #premadebranding #semicustombranding
