*Congratulations to Gabriela, the winner of last week's Friday Freebie-- 2 tickets to Mamma Mia! at Wolf Trap!
We have got the prettiest little Friday Freebie for you all today! We're absolutely smitten with local invitation designer Fig. 2, especially designer Claudia's most recent collection that's chock full of bright colors, adorable designs, and a variety of print options. We are thrilled to announce that Fig. 2's brand new wedding albums will be gracing the Hitched stationery shelves in just a couple weeks-- but in the meantime, be sure to check out her new online shop featuring greeting cards, gift tags, and note card sets that are just too sweet for words.
Today's lucky winner will receive two stationery boxed sets of your choice from Fig. 2's collection of note cards! The tricky part will be deciding which of these adorable sets to choose from. To enter to win this prize, simply leave a comment below [by midnight tonight] with a clever idea or saying that you'd like to see written on a greeting card, or telling us about the best greeting card you've ever received. We'll choose a winner at random and announce it next week! And no worries if you live out of the area-- these beauties can be shipped anywhere in the continental US.
To check out all of Fig. 2's fabulous designs in person, give us a call to schedule your invitation appointment at Hitched [202.333.6162]!
Have a safe and happy holiday weekend, everyone!
Love these! My friend just gave me note cards, and at the bottom had them printed with "love, the future Mrs. Miller" (My soon to be married name!) I thought it was so clever.

I would love to see a greeting card with some of my favorite romantic movie quotes. The combination with Fig 2's beautiful designs would be perfect!

I love the bright and cheery colors! I wish someone would make MadLibs cards with different themes (wedding, thank you, birthday, etc.) where you could fill in sweet, humorous and fitting words that personalize your message.

I just want to say that Claudia is such a fabulous designer! I love her work and have been lucky enough to collaborate with her on a few designs. Her wonderfully fun + happy personality shines through in every piece she creates! As far as what I'd want to see on a greeting card... More fun phrases such as Claudia's "You are seriously so awesome" card. Love!

I need those red and white stripe cards to go with my winter wedding scheme!!! They look like candy cards. My favorite greeting card that I get is from my realator. It is always a Happy New Years card and says may you have a prosperous New Year and she always puts a scratch off lottery ticket in the card. How fun!!!!!!! The fourth time is the charm:)

The best greeting card I ever got was one that I got for someone else! My brother has a yellow labrador retriever that my entire family is in love with. For Father's Day, I found a card with a 'dad' yellow lab and a puppy yellow lab reading the newspaper together. My family loves reading the newspaper on Sundays together so it was the perfect card!

I got a card a few months ago, with no signature or return address, with a picture of a hamster in a wheel. It said, "After your surgery, 4 out of 5 doctors recommend rest and relaxation." Inside, "But that 5th guy's a hamster, so you don't want to listen to him anyway." I had not had surgery. We eventually pinned it to my future sister-in-law, but it was QUITE the mystery for a while.

I am a great lover of stationary. The best thing I've ever seen on a card, was the day my wedding invites came. Seeing our names next to each other made it all a little more real!

I'm a big fan of notecards, and am always looking for new fun ones to send. The best cards I've received lately are the ones from my 3 year old nephew. He paints them and puts handprints on them -- there's always a follow up photo of him at work (which creates quite a mess!).

Oh my goodness, these cards are ADORABLE!! The neon is just so sweet. The best greeting cards I have received are the "just because" ones; ones that people have sent me as a surprise, just to say hi. I always think it's so thoughtful to take an extra minute to write a letter every once in a while instead of shooting off an email. Pretty stationery helps, too :)
