Bridal Shirts are up...

[Rachel Campanelli]

Whoo hoo!
Working on a website, all of the design and everything in-between can be taxing!

www.invitationrevelation.com/bridalshirts.html

After hours of hard thinking and lots drawing I finally got my bridal T-shirts up! It is so difficult to know where to start! Being creative, I am SO over the typical shirts that have the word "bride" on them or just the word "bridesmaid"! Although I plan to offer these, I want to take bridal shirts to the next level! There are so many great shirts out there with good design and fantastic art however, they are for regular people not for all those guys and gals out there that are involved in a wedding! I hope I covered a few genres in my designs and I hope a few of them make people laugh. Better yet, I hope they make people want to buy them. Weddings are terribly stressful as it is why not lighten it up with a fun shirt?

I often worry my designs are going to be taken and used elsewhere, it is so hard to monitor! I am sure it is only a matter of time before I see knock-offs of my art appearing elsewhere. I would love to combat the 'ripping off of my art' problem but I have noticed, particularly in the bridal biz, if someone has a great idea it is going to be reproduced by EVERYONE! I can only feel better about this by telling myself imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Let's hope my flattery comes in the sweet sound of money going into my bank and not seeing other people getting paid for my work.

All the shirts on there are for sale. Please feel free to let me know how you feel about any of the designs! Also, if you are looking for a custom shirt or shirts keep me in mind as I have done work for many bands and teams, I am always here to help. :o)

HI Rachel,

I am new to this site and am really impressed with the small business vendors on here (and so glad I happended by!).

Your site is beautiful and incredible user friendly. I fell in love with most of your t-shirt designs and just about everything else you aer selling. I will make sure to end your info along to my brides (and grooms) as you have some very unique merchandise!!

As for myself, I will probably need custom shirts once I start doing bridal shows. I will DEFINITELY keep you in mind when the time comes!!!!

Take care,

Hi Rachel,
Your ideas are great, and I hope that not all of them will be "knocked off". Maybe you can put your logo in the designs somewhere. In the jewelry business we always have copies of Tiffany & Cartier, because they are great designs, so I guess you are in good company! We change a tiny detail and then it is legal. Best of luck with your business,
