"Hearts Bouquet" bookmark design is one of many choices for personalized Valentines Day bookmarks for class party favors and gifts.

Kids love receiving a gift personalized with their own name, and parents and teachers love bookmarks because they promote reading. You would be surprised at how affordable and easy it is order individually personalized laminated bookmarks, and even more surprised to see how fast you receive them after ordering.

Head on over to our Valentine’s Day bookmark category to see all of our designs.

Ivy, the symbol of longevity, wedded love, fidelity, friendship and affection, has had significance throughout history, so it would make sense that our Ivy Design bookmark can make the perfect customized favor for a wedding. An engaged couple recently ordered the design and opted to have their photo included (shown left). They excerpted a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (linked searchable database of Longfellow poems) for the text on the back of their elegant wedding momentoes:

Ah, how skillful
grows the hand

That obeyeth
Love’s command!

It is the heart,
and not the brain,

That to the highest
doth attain,

And he who followeth
Love’s behest

Far excelleth
all the Rest!

~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

A year-end garden club celebration was the reason why our customer ordered our “I Love Gardening” bookmark in our cute mini size (1-3/8″ x 5-1/2″). With winter about to bear down on us, we thought we’d feature this design as a reminder that spring is just around the corner.

Because our bookmarks are made-to-order, the “I Love Gardening” wording on this bookmark can be completely removed or replaced with other text.  The design would be lovely for spring teas and luncheons, bridal shower favors or events at botanical gardens.

The text is entirely up to you when you order bookmarks at Impressive Inscriptions.

We really got a laugh out of the text this customer provided on her recent order of our Little Red Schoolhouse bookmark design, which we assume were Christmas holiday gifts to fellow teachers given the nature of the text: “Peace on earth? I’d settle for peace in the classroom.”

We love it when our customers come up with clever and original text for their bookmark orders and use them in unanticipated ways. In fact, the idea that customers could go to a website, pick a design, and easily have it personalized with any text whatsoever was what our business was built on nearly 10 years ago, and we enjoy seeing the clever ways our customers use our bookmarks for gifts and keepsakes for every occasion imaginable.

Happy New Year to you and yours from your friends at Impressive Inscriptions!

With a high resolution image, we can turn your book cover into matching promotional laminated bookmarks.

Our latest bookmarks designed to promote a book were ordered by author Alidis Vicente for her new book “The Coqui and the Iguana” available on Amazon.com as a Kindle book with the paperback book available for pre-order. 

Alidis sent us a high resolution image of the front cover of the book for inclusion on mini bookmarks, our 1-3/8″ x 5-1/2″ laminated bookmark size. The book cover is shown in it’s entirety on the back side along with Alidis’s contact info, but to make the bookmark more impactful, we opted to cover the front side of the bookmark with a narrow section of  the cover since we could select a section of the image that depicted both the iguana and the coqui.

Ordering custom-designed bookmarks is easy and inexpensive at Impressive Inscriptions, so whatever it is you’re promoting, if you’re looking for a high-quality bookmark that surpasses the typical cardstock promotional bookmarks purchased in bulk at print shops, then check out our custom laminated bookmarks available in 3 sizes, with or without tassels.

Unique playing card design "suits" many occasions when personalized with your own text.

Our customer recently ordered our “It’s in the Cards” bookmark for Christmas gifts for her Canasta group, which we redesigned to give it a fresh new look.  Our customer personalized the fronts of the bookmarks with this saying:

Life consists not
in holding
good cards
but in playing
those you
hold well.

Merry Christmas
2011

In the final version of the bookmark, after our customer had viewed her proof, we changed the King card to a Queen card at the bottom of the design to better “suit” her group of women friends.  On the back, the names of all of the members of “The Castanets” as they call themselves were listed, but they also could have been individually personalized for each member if the customer had chosen that option.

Our “It’s in the Cards” bookmark design is also great for Military Bridge fundraisers and Poker events, as well as party favors to fit a playing card theme.

Bookmarks are great keepsakes for your church's Advent activities and programs.

We “spiffied up” one of our existing bookmark designs called “A Child is Born” to accommodate the theme “Advent by Candlelight” for our customer.

The color was changed to a truer Advent blue, and we added the flame to the word Advent to represent the candlelight theme.

As always, text is entirely up to the customer, who in this case opted to use the same scripture passage we displayed as an example on our website.

Whether it’s designing from scratch or customizing an existing design in our catalog, ordering custom bookmarks is as easy as 1-2-3 at Impressive Inscriptions, and just in time for the holidays too!

Bookmarks can be created for virtually any event at your church or synogogue. Our "Classic" bordered bookmark was the starting point for this order.

Inauguration Day was the event for our customer who recently ordered these keepsake bookmarks for a big event at her church.  We customized our Classic border design bookmarks with the praying hands at the request of the customer.

For more ideas on bookmarks for church-related events and celebrations, please see our previous posts:

From Generation to Generation

Church Centennial Celebration

Custom bookmarks can be made to match any theme for your church event.

Whatever the theme of your next church event, consider custom bookmarks as keepsakes.  The bookmark shown left was created for the New Mount Zion Baptist Church’s Homecoming Weekend, and the theme was “From Generation to Generation.”

Cupcakes are a great way to celebrate your child's birthday in the classroom IF your school still allows it!

If your child is lucky enough to attend a school which still allows parents to bake goodies on your child’s birthday, then we want you to head right on over to The Creative Mama blog to see how to make these beautiful and festive Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes.

But if your school is like so many others that do not allow homemade goodies to be brought into the classroom, then we have an alternative you’re going to love. And we promise you, the teacher and other parents will love it just as much.

Personalized mini bookmarks for each and every student in the class, personalized with their names, are a welcome alternative to goodies and treats. Let’s face it, kids love seeing their name printed on something, and what could be better than giving a bookmark personalized just for them — something which promotes reading.

Available in 3 sizes, but the mini size sure fits the bill for class party birthday celebrations!

We recently had a customer who called us to find out if we had any ideas as to which bookmark she should purchase for her child’s in-class party. She had no idea that we have an option which allows customers to have an individual name personalized on each bookmark (as long as all of the other text remains the same) for just 10 cents more per bookmark, so she was pleasantly surprised to find out that not only could she buy bookmarks to mark her son’s 7th birthday, but that each child could receive their very own bookmark personalized with their name. She chose our No. 2 Pencil design which works well for both boys and girls (not to mention the teacher and aide, who also received a bookmark personalized just for them), and the fun mini size made it suitable for any size book, not to mention very affordable!

So next time you’re stumped when trying to figure out how to celebrate your child’s birthday in the classroom, consider personalized bookmarks for every child in the class.
