The Sendo Story
Sendo, Inc. is a privately held company located in Woodside, CA. Sendo has a personal story attached to its creation. Jennifer Skarakis, a graphic designer, had many people in her life with upcoming weddings and baby arrivals. Before she knew it, she became to go-to for friends and family seeking unique, creative shower invitations and baby announcements. She spent much of her free time creating and sending these beautiful hand-made correspondences. She came up with an idea that would allow her friends and others to have access to her invitation designs by putting them online and allowing them to utilize and personalize each invitation and announcement. She formulated a way for friends could track and correspond with recipients online. Her idea was put into action in 1999 and the site has grown exponentially.
“The focus of a Sendo invitation or announcement is on the user – people want their event to be special and it starts with how the invitation or announcement is presented. Sendo’s cutting-edge designs are not cluttered with advertising or marketing. Sendo is the closest thing to a hand-made paper invitation or announcement, but a whole lot easier and much more cost-effective!” Jennifer Skarakis, Founder & CEO
