Contrary to what some may expect, printed stationery; birthday invitations, Holiday cards, New Year cards, & Valentine's Day cards are still as popular as ever. In fact, Tiny Prints first made a name for itself selling baby announcements, and today continues its success by offering personalized stationery for other major life events.

Tiny Prints expects the following trends in 2008:

1. Black is Back - The top colors were vintage chic from classic brown to baby pink and blue. But the hottest color of the year was black!

2. One, Two, Many - Say good-bye to making your squirming children sit for a group photo. Now, everyone can look their individual best with multi-photo cards.

3. All About Us - Remember printing your family highlights and stuffing it into your Christmas card? This season we created our Story Cards, a popular way to print text and photos directly onto the inside panel of folded.

4. Matchy-Matchy - For a polished ensemble, customers opted for stationery components that matched the design of their holiday card. Unique design themes were easily coordinated with complementing thank you cards, address labels, and gift tags.

5. All Grown up - Steering clear of childish motifs and going for bold, sophisticated designs were big this year, especially for young families. Sorry Rudolph!

6. Spice it Up - Everyone wanted to make their cards boldly shout, "I am not a bill!" when family and friends opened their mailboxes to find colored envelopes.

7. Coupledom - More couples and newlyweds sent holiday photo cards featuring their favorite wedding pictures or highlights from another year of being together.

8. Picasso Jr. - Popular with the photo demure and design savvy, many creative families choose to skip the photos altogether and scan in a favorite child's drawing or illustration in their place.
