It’s that time of the year again — our Do Good promotion is back! We want to see what good means to you: is it planting trees or helping with neighborhood clean-up? Volunteering at your local soup kitchen, or helping communities rebuild after devastating storms? Whatever your good deed is, we want to hear about it! Show us on Pinterest what you’re doing to make a difference, and we’ll give you 25 free additional invitation sets just for your good deed! And if your good deed is really great, you may even win our grand prize: $1,000 from Bella Figura! No purchase is necessary to enter, and the contest is open to entrants worldwide!
Rules and details:
Entry period: Your good deed must happen between April 1 – April 30, 2013. Good deed submissions must be uploaded to the Bella Figura Do Good 2013 Pinterest board by 6pm EST on Tuesday, April 30 to be eligible. Participation: Please allow 1 business day to be added to our “Do Good: 2013” board.
Prizes: Everyone who follows the guidelines above and uploads a photo or video of their good deed to Pinterest will be eligible for 25 free additional invitation sets with the purchase of 50 or more [you must purchase at least 50 invitation sets]. We will email you a coupon with a unique code for your free invitation sets after we have received your entry. This promotional offer is valid on orders placed through July 31, 2013. “Invitation sets” includes the invitation, reply card + envelope or reply postcards, invitation envelopes, and any coordinating embellishments (this includes envelope liners, pocketfolds, edge painting, etc.). One lucky winner will receive $1,000 that can be used towards their next order at bellafigura.com. The $1,000 grand prize must be redeemed by October 31, 2013. The grand prize winner will be announced by May 10, 2013.
Criteria: We’re letting you determine the definition of “good.” For the free 25 invitation sets, anything you consider good will work. For the grand prize, we’re looking for inspiring actions that bring us hope; that demonstrate the power of an individual to do good; and that show us how the world can be a caring and beautiful place. In either case, please be sure to get a photo or video of yourself in action.
Judging: The team at Bella Figura will vote to select one winner for the grand prize based on the criteria listed above. The winner will be contacted by email and will be announced by May 10, 2013.

Our french vanilla and pewter inks look nothing but heavenly on these custom letterpress wedding invitations. Tying this set together perfectly, this suite is complete with a patterned monogram envelope liner. We send many thanks to Annie P.

Maybe you’re trying to stick to a set budget but really want letterpress invitations? Maybe you just love things that come in small-ish packages? Either way, an awesome solution is to have us print your invites in our A6 size instead of our larger standard invitation sizes (like A7, SQ7, or F8). Not only will you keep the costs down on your printing, but you’ll also save on postage as well – and look how sweet these little guys are! They’re based on the standard String Calligraphy design, but printed in our A6 size that we typically reserve for save the dates (so these invites were priced just like save the dates would be). For a full list of the sizes we have available, head on over to our size list.
inks: pewter + wisteria | calligraphy: string calligraphy by patricia mumau | paper: 1-ply white | invite size: a6 | edge paint: metallic silver | liner: european formal pattern in wisteria and dusty pink | customization #: 16015 |
Lucky in love? Do you dream of a vintage rustic wedding style with fresh flowers and naturally distressed wood? Why not pair our Antique Luck (the design of the month!) with your subtle Irish wedding style. We promise this letterpress wedding invitation is definitely worth its weight in gold.
