These modern invitations have a timeless vintage style with distinctive or antique-looking borders, edges or a feel to the paper. Many European papers to pick from.

Some have cut out areas that are almost stained glass in style and have an elegant feel to all whom may receive it. New styles, colors, cuts, paper and layouts for that Bride who wants elegance.

Also new is …ooh la color. Full color printed napkins.

Also our “Something Different” line has new invitations for that Bride who wants…”Something Different”.

Stop and visit us at the Bridal Expo at David Lawrence Convention Center on March 18th !

Just supply us with a typed list for inner & outer envelopes. The outer envelope is very formal and inner envelope is just the first names of the guests.

Handwritten invitations are .35 cents each. Calligraphy is $1.55 for inner & outer envelopes. Special care for our printed masterpieces is a must!

We can also assemble your wedding invitations , bow your invitations, and mail them also.

Nothing is out of reach for our Brides!

Warm Regards,

Karen

The only time Brides should consider buying Save-the-Dates is when your wedding falls on or very near a Holiday, you have a destination wedding or the majority of your guests are out of town. Any other scenario is most likely a waste of wedding dollars you could invest elsewhere such as in professionally done calligraphy for your wedding invitations.

If as mentioned above your wedding is near a holiday etc. the most popular is the Photo-save-the-date magnets in various sizes.

Your friends and family will enjoy having it around as a reminder years after the your wedding day.

Looking forward to your Special Day,

Karen

Over the years one of the big recurring questions we get from the brides, quite understandably, is when each item on the wedding preparation list should be done.

It seems lots of well-meaning people from friends to family members have suggestions that more often then not just adds to the confusion and, what you need the least, more stress.

Here’s our experiences from working with you ladies over the years of what seems to work just fine.

Wedding Invitations – When to Order

Best bet, to make things easy, and allow for shipping delays and other minor mishaps that, don’t often, but can happen is to order the invitations about three months prior to the wedding date.

Ordering a bit earlier doesn’t hurt particularly if you will have a lot of guests coming from out of town. This gives those traveling some extra time to plan and book reservations, but don’t feel pressured to do so.

How about later? What if the wedding is less than three months away?

No problem at all. We have years of experience in dealing with getting invitations ordered efficiently and here in as little as 5 to 14 working days from the date you finalize your order.

Our recommendation is if we may is everyone needs to is chill, take it easy and enjoy preparing for the big day.

Do what you can do at your own pace and make it fun!

Warm Regards,

Karen

The biggest problem with considering buying wedding invitations on the internet we’ve heard from other brides-to-be is you’re left guessing in a number of ways. How long has the company been in operation? Are they legitimate? Will the invitations be what I want?

Without being able to actually see the real invitation there’s no way to know the quality and feel of the paper.

Another problem is knowing what the true colors of the invitation will be. Outside of very high end, expensive monitors that are used in the graphics design business the colors you see on typical monitors will be different, sometimes very different, from the actual.

That won’t happen if you come out and see us at our Forest Hills location. There you can take your pick of 65 books of actual wedding invitations to choose from; invitations where you can see and feel exactly what you’re getting. And the ladies have told us it’s made one big part of their wedding planning a lot less stressful.

Keep in mind if it’s something custom you want we can create that look for you here, too, as we’re a team of graphic designers with years (starting to feel like too many in fact! :) of experience.

We would love to have you stop by our Forest Hills location where you can spend as long as you like with book after book of invitations to see, feel & touch.

Need help with an idea or have questions regarding invitations? Give us a call at 412-271-3252 and ask for Karen.

Hugs,

Karen
