Well, since I'm getting ready to place an order with Merrill.....I was wondering if there were any other items everyone thinks are "Must-haves" from them?

I would love to have the Banners, Yard & Car Signs, but those will have to wait. I'm thinking more along the lines of supplies. :D

TIA for your suggestions!

Bumping up....Anyone??
 
I"m waiting (still) for my delivery. I got the business cards and a stamp - for all my catalogs and order forms. I think it will save me a LOT of time. Curious what the "veterans" have to say!
 
I just got the personalized wedding registry cards since PC only sends 30. Most wedding showers have more than 30 invites.
they are cheap too.they have the same look & feel as the biz cards.
 
Have the business cards and like them. I also ordered a stamp but I think it's kind of small lettering.
 
The business cards are really nice, and they send you a BUNCH. I still haven't used all from my first order.

I also like the magnets you can stick on the backs of business cards... if they still have those.
 
If they don't have the magnets, you can get them at Staples, and probably the other office supply stores too.
 
I ordered the personalized wedding registry cards too! They are not much more than the "plain" registry ones and then I don't have to stamp my info on them (saves me time and looks very professional!)

I also ordered the PC Logo car window decal, and then ordered vinyl lettering with my phone number and website to put on the back window of my SUV! (from JeriSigns.com) The PC decal cost more than the extra lettering that I ordered!
