Making announcement cards to raise money for BLISS not sure how to present them

Since having a prem DD in Aug 07 I have been wanting to raise money for BlISS. Sport really isnt my thing so
I have been working hard on some baby/birth announcement packs with ready printed inserts, to sell at stalls, craft fairs etc.

I have created some designs but Im unsure on how to present them.

Do I

  • sell them with the cards blank so you can decorate as you wish ( using your own designs)
  • sell with all the little stick on bits so you can make your own
  • sell them ready made ( more time consuming but would raise more money as I would charge more)

I cant decide on price till I decide how to sell them!!

Would really like some opinions before I put them all together. Got a stall at the hospital very soon!!

Feel free to view photos of them in gallery.

Have also posted this in Arts and crafts so sorry if you have already seen it.x

I think they are beautiful and its such a good idea.
I really enjoy making cards and I wish I could make them as good as you.

Could you sell them ready made and with the bits to make?

I think if you did both you would cover all bases, people prepared to pay more for finished item and people who want to make them/cost is an issue. I would think selling them completely blank might not be so worthwhile as I would think that alot of people would like the convenience of having all the bits to make their own without having to design them.

HTH and good luck!

Thanks for your comments. I think I will go with your idea of making both, thanks Westcountrylass.
