I have a list of possible names and wondered what you thought?
Busy Mama Cards
Left Hand Creations
Set the Stage
Monkey Pod Design
Lady Bug Expressions
Monkey Bug Prints
Lil’ Monkey Prints
Announce It

Original Question:
Ok all you creative mammas out there, I need help with a business name. I create custom invitations/announcements/cards for family and friends. I am toying with the idea of expanding this "hobby" into a business, but I am really stuck on a name.

One suggestion I am toying with is Set the Stage. The idea here is that the invitation really sets the stage for the event. But one friend thought it sounded to formal as most of my work is more for birthdays, babies, and holiday cards. I tend to like the name Set the Stage, but also think it sounds a bit more formal (weddings, etc) than I intend people to think of...

Any thoughts on this or other suggestions for names?

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

So I ended up with Left Hand Prints. I am left handed and I like the spin on the words. Prints in this case meaning the print of the left hand but also prints as in stationary/cards/etc...

Thanks for all your help!!!

I like a name that tells you what the company does so announce it gets my vote. Set the stage sounds like a theater prop company...

maybe make it "Let's Set the Stage", that takes the formal out of it and makes it sound more friendly.

You need to "Google" each of these names. The first three I tried - Announce It, and Monkey Bug, Set the Stage (home staging company) - are already taken. You will want your website to have the same name as your company, I would assume, so you need to find a name that isn't already taken.

I really like:

-Announce It
-Set the Stage
-Left Hand Creations-my fav
I like these because they sound like you would do more than just cards and invites for children. The other names may lead people to think that you just specialize in stuff for children? Hope this helps and good luck!

I think Announcing would be a good name since that is what you are doing....annoucing the party 8-) I would make sure to Google these names and also check with BBB, etc to make sure no one has the same company name. My sister had a company and someone fought her over the name.....she ended up having to change the name of the company becuase she couldn't compete (money wise) with the other company even though she had the name first. Be careful.
Good luck in your venture!!

I think busy mama cards explains it best. I think the names with monkey are cute but don't get the point across

Announce it and Set the Stage jumped out at me, I like the others too, but those two caught my attention. You could even do Announcing...... to add a little twist.

I like "Announce It" That is simple, and it tells exactly what you are trying to help people do.

left hand creations really jumped out at me for some reason and i'm not left handed nor is anybody close to me left handed (so it appealed to someone who is not partial). The monkey theme is cute, but i feel like it is over done. I do not really like busy mama cards. It sounds like I would get a sloppy product. Wow, I just started to read the other comment and many seem to like left hand creations. It is also a good name incase you expand and include other creative things to business. Good luck with your business.

How about "stage monkey" or "monkey stage" prints. I actually love the left hand creations and monkey bug prints names, they're all great!
