Birthday parties, particularly those for adults, are a great opportunity to recognize (and embarrass) the ones we love. With this month’s Idea Spot, you can make an occasion memorable using one of our newest and most exciting products: UL Photo Prints!
Whether you’ve had a chance to explore the Photo Prints application yet or not, I bet you can find a good use for this great idea. Here’s what we came up with:
To begin our design, we first had to determine a suitable photo for our Photo Print. Our birthday party was for a soon-to-be-40-year-old family member, so we rifled through the family photos one afternoon and came up with Spencer in his leisure suit at age 6. Perfect! Once we had scanned our photo*, it only took a moment or two to place our order for a 4’x4’ contour-cut Photo Print.
With our Photo Print out of the way, it was time to spice up the space where our Photo Print would eventually end up. (You may recognize the table and lamp from previous posts. Are you convinced that one wall can provide fun for all kinds of occasions?) Using the Text & Graphics application within MyDesign Suite™, we designed a fun and simple message for our wall with two custom words: “40” (Souvenir, 13”, Caribbean Blue) and “Years” (Liorah 5”, Navy Blue). Then came our “Happy Birthday” message (#16697, Navy Blue), gallantly displayed on the new Uppercase Living Glass Charger ($14.95, #300159). We placed our charger on the table (using its complimentary easel) alongside a big stack of matching birthday gifts.
And that’s it! You can use this idea, or some variation of it, at your next birthday party. It’s sure to be a hit, and it might even encourage a few extra customer orders when the party comes to an end.
*Please note: Many photo shops and camera stores will digitize (scan) photos and, depending on the quality of the digitizing process, can give you a photo that will look great as a Photo Print. However, there are several ways of digitizing a printed photo, so digitizing does not guarantee that your photo will have the same quality as the one taken digitally.
