“We would like to give a massive thank you to Jo and the design team at Pink Polar. On short notice, they were able to adapt my invite design to incorporate it into our ‘Guest Book’ which we purchased from them for our wedding day. It was simple to do, just scan and email, which on the run up to your wedding, that’s all you want, simple and easy! Post wedding panic re: Thank you cards, again, Jo designed them to match our invites with the wording we requested.”

The happy couple

“I would not hesitate to use or recommend Pink Polar to anyone. Totally professional and very good quality products.”

“Massive thank you from Mr & Mrs Dale married 8th July 2011.”

That’s exactly what Janine and Gavin did and were thrilled with the results! Beautiful orchids were the order of the day.

If so, and you are getting married within the Yorkshire area, why not book the Dearne Big Band who play swing hits from the 1940′s. The band consists of 4 trombones, 4 trumpets, 5 saxophones, a rhythm section and vocals.

The band playing at a recent wedding

Playing great music by the best of the classic big bands (Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Harry James, Ted Heath), they are guaranteed to get your guests up dancing and jiving!

On a more serious note, as a member of the band myself, I would like to tell you about our most recent gig in Switzerland, which was to raise money for a small charity called Rainbows4children. After seeing what the charity has achieved so far, I felt compelled to write about it.

The charity was set up by Kathryn and Max Robinson whose aim was to help the children of Ethiopia, by building a school in memory of Max’s son Nicolas.

The school is situated in Mekele and opened on September 12th 2005. Since then, with the help of the Tigray Disabled Veterans’s Association (TDVA) it has steadily grown, with new classrooms built each year. Over 600 pupils now attend the school. 70% of the children are from family’s with disabled parents and their school fees are subsidised, giving them the chance for an education which they previously would not have had.

Next year a music room, library and an outdoor eating area are all planned. The music room is going to be named after the Dearne Big Band’s former Musical Director ‘Holin Hammerton’.

It was a great privilege for us to perform at the charity concert to help raise more money for this fantastic cause. If you would like to find out more about the work done, please visit the Rainbows4childrens’s website at www.rainbows4children.org

Our first range that we have launched is the ‘Pram’ design. The cards are illustrated with a beautiful classic pram with a fine polka dot hood. The polka dot design is mirrored on the inside of the cards which are ready for you to fill in by hand.

After hearing from several friends that they struggled to get matching Thank you Cards to tie in with their Christening Invitations I made sure that I designed both, so everything is co-ordinated :+)

At the moment they are only available on notonthehighstreet.com but we will have them on our own website very soon.

While the momentum is strong, we are currently in the midsts of designing a range of products for a new section, on both our own website and notonthehighstreet – ‘Special Occasion Cards’ such as, Baby Announcements, Christening Invitations and Thank You Cards to name a few.

Look out for our new designs – coming soon!

Unlike other online marketplaces, they are very selective who sells with them and only accept 10% of applications to become a partner, needless to say we are really excited to be accepted!
