Much has been said lately about unintended acceleration – and with Toyota’s recent problems it helps to know what to do it caught in a car that is moving fast.

First:  Use Your Brakes

Your brakes are more powerful than the engine. Even if your accelerator foot is glued to the floor, applying the brakes will stop your car.

Next: Shift into Neutral

No power to the wheels means you will slow down eventually

Finally: Turn the engine off

For the same reason as above, if your engine isn’t getting power to the wheels, you will not continue accelerating.

See the recent study by Car and Driver.

P.S. I know this post is different than most  of what I’ve written here. If this can help 1 person in trouble – it was worth writing!

Are you familiar with what a First Communion is?

First Communion is a celebration of the first time a child receives Holy Communion. Holy Communion is one of the seven Sacraments of the Roman Catholic Church. The First Holy Communion Sacrament is usually scheduled for children 7 or 8 years old, when the child is old enough to seek and understand what Holy Communion represents. Months, somes years weeks of study and preparation lead up to the big event. Children must know what they are undertaking before they can receive their First Communion. Children usually wear nice, fancy dresses and suits for the occasion.

A First Holy Communion is not to be taken lightly. It is the first time that a child receives the Holy Host, or Eucharist. Reception of the Eucharist is a large part of being Catholic. First Holy Communion is an event that is usually celebrated with family and friends, for it enables the child to become more a part of the church service. Children not old enough to receive Holy Communion must wait in the pew of the church while others that have received their First Communion proceed to the front of the church to receive Holy Communion at a Catholic Mass.

Is your child, or is someone in your family celebrating a First Communion?

Poly Graphics has a nice selection of First Communion Invitations at great prices.

Our cellphone invitations are popular – especially with kids. We created some cellphone birthday party invitations and heard that the kids were playing with them – they didn’t want to throw them away.

Today I want to tell you about a great idea a customer came up with.

Cellphone invitations with a sound chip inside – like those talking greeting cards.

Rebecca at Outlets of Hillsboro asked us to make some invitations for her that look like our cellphone, but contain a sound chip.

When her guests open it, her pre-recorded voice plays – inviting them to the party!

We love creative customers and were very happy to be able to create this for Rebecca.

Do you have an idea for an invitation that you can’t find anywhere else?

Ask us to create it for you.

Are you planning a memorable First Communion Celebration for your child?

A First Holy Communion is an important part of a child’s life – for the first time they can acknowledge God’s work in their life, embrace their faith, and fully participate in the Catholic Mass. It is a joyous occasion and one that should be celebrated with family and friends.

What better way to celebrate than to plan a party after your child’s First Holy Communion Service?

Make sure you start your celebration with a great invitation. At least 3 weeks before your First Communion (or longer if you have family traveling long distances), send out your First Holy Communion Invitations.

Don’t forget to include the 4  W’s and response information on your invitation:

  • Who (your child or children)
  • What (First Communion)
  • When (date and time)
  • Where (location of church, and location of party afterwards)
  • RSVP (your phone number and/or email address that your guests will use to say they are coming to your celebration)

Even though we proofread every order, check for grammar errors, check for print quality, and double count envelopes, we still make mistakes sometimes.

Invitation for a shopping party - Mall Party Invitation

The party invitation should have said “Beth” not “Bet”.

And we shipped the invitations to the customer. Yikes!

As Poly Graphics always does, we admit our mistake and fix it as quickly as possible. Luckily there was enough time for the corrected invitations to arrive and be delivered to guests before the RSVP date got too close.

We’re human, we make mistakes, but we admit them, fix them, and move on.

Try us, we’ll do our best to get your right the first time!
