I just got an email from a Director in our group with a great idea: She is using the old invites as her gift certificates. She's printing a label with all the gift cert info and sticking it on them - using the Avery 5164 (3 1/3 X 4 inch labels). I think I'm going to do this with some of my old invites instead of printing out Gift Certs and coupons on card stock that I occasionally give away.

That is an awesome idea - I know at one point this summer I couldn't stand having so many old ones and just recycled a bunch! That was before joining this site....
 
I just use my old invites until they are gone before I order new ones.

I use them!!
I mail out the invites for my hostesses and I really like some of ht eolder ones....there is one that says "Celebrate" on the front and there are some others that I really like :)
 
What a great tip! I love looking for new uses for retired items! I've been collecting a variety of older invites from other trading posts. They have some great pictures of products as well as recipes displayed to pique our customers interest. Why not add a message where the recipe could be found and offer them the cookbook as an incentive?

Hello ChefinHarmony!! :D See ya soon!
