I decided to do a postcard for the state fair that had the same info as my original postcard but added a 10% off special just for fair people. I also made it holidayish. Plus I added a recipe to the back so I have a two for one type form. I am excited to see how they work at the fair. I have lots of PC recipe cards to give out but will try these until I run out. I made all the front "coupons" nothing extra from what I do normally. I always bring the food for the recipes & the $60 or more an item free is usually the deal for guest special. I also could have had color on the back of the fair postcard but cheap me didn't want to pay $8.99 for it so it is black/gray.

ALSO, I "stole" this whole coupon type postcard idea from chefann :chef:

How did you get the design for the coupons? I am trying to do something on Microsoft Word and it's turning out silly.

That was a template Vistaprints had on their website.
 
Very nice, Kasey! I "stole" Ann's designs too, but never did anything with it. I must get on that today as I have a bridal fair in two weeks!!! :eek:
 
If I would like to "steal" some parts of this too, is there anyway to import it into Vista, or do I have to start from scratch?
 
very nice!

you have to start from scratch Christy
 
The coupons are actually pretty easy to do from scratch, as they have sample text already in the coupon boxes.
 
Cool! I've designed a couple of Vista postcards before so it won't be a problem, was just trying to be LAZY! Oh well, it will go quick with this as a guide. Thanks so much for sharing!
 
Okay, I have my bridal one made (almost), and on the back have a recipe on the right, but want to come up with an idea for the left side. I like your idea, Kasey, but I don't want to put a specific year on it because if I have extras I want to be able to use next year.

I was thinking of putting something specific about Pampered Bride Parties, but I'm not very creative at the moment, so any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
 
That's cool, Kasey!! Thanks! I will definitely works some of that into it. :)

I got this off of here a while back. Maybe you could use some of it - I'd make the text a small size so you could fit more on there if you wanted.

Very AWESOME! Appears very similar in all ways to what I did although I reworded the ending...my friend couldn't believe we had such similar ideas when she saw this one said you have to see it!

Works! Sold over $500 at last BRIDAL COOKING SHOW!
