Hello Everyone
Welcome to our first post on blogger! Over time we will share all of the developments and innovations at our invitations and gifts website
Many people might ask....whatever are you on about, I mean, what is Little Dance Invitations?
Well....Little Dance Invitations was created out of a genuine desire to help create lasting memories, share the smiles, laughter, happiness and joy that we know these beautiful cards, announcements and invitations bring, run a successful business and provide a creative (sanity?) outlet for a mother of two small, beautiful and VERY active little boys.
Our chief designer (the love of my life and the mother of our boys...Tammy...) has always had artistic talent. Our chief web geek and sales guy (thats me) has always told her to unleash the creative potential of her imagination added to her artistic skills. Until Little Dance, sanity always prevailed and she said no, I will keep this nice safe job that pays the bills.......well....now. Here we are!

While it's true we started out with invitations and announcements, such as these kids party invitations - we have expanded into many many products since then.
The vast majority of our range is all about events in peoples lives. Milestones, celebrations, things worth commemorating. Achievements. We will share some of them on this blog as we go, to help update everyone.
It started with invites for little kids parties. After all, that is where our life experiences were at that time. Birth announcements, christening invites, and hundreds of themed party invitations followed soon after.
Our friends, family and customers led the way. We designed for all sorts of events, learning as we went - as you do in any business.
We added pom poms and other decorations. Homewares too, for awhile, as well as candy buffet supplies. Huge backdrops, party banners and more, most being made in our cute studio, with only the best being sent to our customers.
A personal favorite was our range of edible images. These are custom printed images that we print onto frosting sheets. People put them on the icing on their cakes for a custom - and very different - look. Awesome.
We entered awards events, and placed as a finalist for the best pure play online retail business. That year, we were beaten by a business called Shoes Of Prey. They made custom shoes for people that knew exactly what they wanted but couldn't find it in the shops anywhere. Similar to what we do, but shoes.
Beaten by shoe salespeople. If you have ever watched Married With Children you will know the irony.
The business outgrew the studio after awhile, and so we moved into a shop in Tecoma, Melbourne. Busy times, fun times, great customers, and loads of laughs.
Then as happens to most, life events led us to move to another property, with a space that was perfect for the business. So we reluctantly closed the shop, and moved back into a gorgeous studio, becoming once again, an online only business.
Theres a lot to tell, as its been a long journey. We started out with basic invitations and announcements. I will remember Tams announcement of her first sale.....Bryan...!!!!! Ive just made my first sale!!! (Still keep that SMS on my phone...) just as most of us can remember where we were when man first landed on the moon....or at other significant moments in history.
Best Regards
