Bridal Showcase Showdown

Had there been a prize for “Best in Show” at the January 29, 2006 Washington, D.C. Bridal Showcase, Rock Paper Scissors would have stolen the day, hands down. Not only were more than 3,000 brides-to-be gushing over our booth and eclectic variety of first-rate wedding invitations and stationery, but our brave crewmembers Abby, Alissa and Sara clearly received some jealous glances from fellow booth-holders. Alright, we have to admit—the odds were set in our favor from the get-go: Not only are Abby and Alissa two of our most knowledgeable custom printing gurus around, but in her other life, Sara is a set designer. (Dirty rotten. We know, we know.)

We’re so excited to report that our first bridal showdown was a whopping success—from 11am ‘til well past 5, our booth was swamped by enthusiastic and excited brides nearly brawling over the samples of Claudia Calhoun, Peculiar Pair Press, Prentiss Douthit and our own custom binder (click on “custom printing” to see for yourself…minus the brawling…). And all of us back home got a real kick out of the large number of Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C.-area brides-to-be who already have a connection to our quaint little town of Charlottesville…besides visiting Monticello once for a fourth grade field trip, that is.
