NoteworthyNotes: The Art of the Invitation
July 2006
Just how important is an invitation to the overall success of a wedding, baby shower, graduation party, birthday bash – indeed, any special occasion?

"The right invitation sets the tone for the entire event," says Cindy Rudman, founder and president of Chicago-based Noteworthy LLC, parent company of the distinctive stationery and gift retailer known simply as Noteworthy. The brick-and-mortar store, located in Chicago's Near North Side neighborhood near North & Sheffield Avenues, is augmented by an online store, NoteworthyNotes.com, which offers complementary Noteworthy merchandise. NoteworthyNotes.com specializes in personalized stationery, party invitations, birth announcements, return address labels, gift stickers, self-inking stamps, notepads, Christmas photo cards, Christmas invitations and a wide spectrum of unique personalized gifts.

"If your event is casual, the invitation should reflect this to assure that your guests wear appropriate attire and be in the right frame of mind," says Cindy Rudman, who operates Noteworthy LLC with her husband and business partner Jay Rudman. "The reverse is true as well: if you're planning a very elaborate wedding, sending a plain white invitation doesn't put the right picture in your guests' minds - it just does not reflect the day. And you want your invitation to reflect your personality as well."

Noteworthy offers a dynamic, creative array of custom invitations for baby showers and bridal showers, birthday and graduation parties, bar and bat mitzvahs, holiday gatherings, weddings and more, designed by the top names in the business: 2 Skirts, Boatman Geller, Dinky Designs, Embossed Graphics, Inviting Company, Kelly Hughes, Noteworthy Collections, Perfect Printer, Periwinkle Press, Picture Perfect, PSA Essentials, Sugar Cookie Cards, Three Designing Women and UBU Products.

In addition, Noteworthy specializes in birth and moving announcements, thank you notes, photo cards, calling cards, wedding stationery, and more. Cindy Rudman and her well-trained staff work closely with each client to assure every detail is perfect, from color selection to paper type to font to graphics.

According to Noteworthy enthusiast Andrea Grostern, "I go to Cindy for holiday invitations, birthday gifts, personalized note cards and baby gifts because I always know I will find exactly what I am looking for and Cindy always understands what I need."

Whether a client prefers traditional or contemporary invitations, Noteworthy provides the most distinctive, eye-catching designs they'll find anywhere at decidedly competitive prices. "Our clients are looking for something different - something memorable and everlasting - and that's exactly what we give them," says Jay Rudman.

Cindy Rudman says that while traditional invitations are still in use, contemporary designs are becoming more and more in vogue, utilizing colors that reflect what's hot in the fashion world. Plus, printed invitations now are all the rage not only for large-scale celebrations like weddings and major holiday galas, but also for theme parties observing smaller holidays like Fourth of July, St. Patrick's Day and Cinco de Mayo. "At Noteworthy, we've been seeing an upswing in photo cards outside of the annual holiday season - people are actually sending them on Valentine's Day and Halloween," Cindy observes.
