I've seen them in only one invitation store, any they are so neat! My mother is in love with them. I was just wondering if anyone ever did this as their invitation?

The ones they have in the picture are not a good representation of how beautiful they are in person, and they're not paper...it's like a plaque of some sort that the invitation is printed on.

Even the Response cards are mini-plaques. IT's really cool......but EXTREMELY expensive. I've been thinking about it, but they are just so much money...and I know people will probably throw them away!

I don't know.

My hubbys friend used them for their wedding that they had last june. They are absolutely beautiful!! When I first saw it I was amazed and impressed. Don't have too much information on them though. Maybe you can FM Junebride04 I think she did alot of researd and price searching on these invitations, I am not sure if she is still using them for her wedding but I think she might have alot of info for you.

Just to show you this is the one my friends used for their wedding. Also I actually saved the invitation...to me it was really unique.

Wow, that's really nice!

I think the prices were around $2,000, $1,800. It depended on which invitation.

It's a lot of $$$$ to spend on invitation.

I've been wrestling with this decision for over 6 months (I saw these around Christmas).
I'll let you know the verdict when I reach a decision.
Thanks for the pics!

Yes I do. His mom owns a printing company in queens called Paladino Printing so I bet he got a really big discount...LOL. I think Junebride04 found the cheapest price with one of the vendors on this board you can probably FM her about price info that she might have. They are really expensive no matter what though.

Kathy - I just have to say I LOVE THEM - absolutely beautiful!!!! I didn't use them but I did use Encore invites and I was very pleased with them. We got tons of compliments. I'll see if I can find a picture of ours.

I have to say that Encore invitations are beautiful!!! You can't go wrong with their invitations and the quality is really good.

They're an invitation store right off Montauk Hwy. in Sayville/Bayport area called 'Can You Do Me A Favor.

She has ALL these invitations on display there, and she does give a discount because they're so high end.

If I do go for them, I'll probably order through her.

My mother just ordered my bridal shower invitations, and I'm pretty sure they were also Encore (I helped her pick them out...she hasn't kept a single thing a secret ....MOH is out of state, who is my mother's sister, so my mother has really taken over the planning of my bridal shower)...

Anyways, when they're done, I'll have to post them.

Re: Anyone used these invitations by Encore, sent to each person in it's own gift box

Those invites are stunning!!! I am considering them for my wedding. I think they are really unique. I haven't been able to find them any cheaper than what they go for though and a vendor recently told me that the line was not doing well because they are so $$$. Alot of places that I have called up don't carry them. I did find a store in Manhasset that has them and also a store in Westchester, but not too many vendors carry them because of the price.

Re: Anyone used these invitations by Encore, sent to each person in it's own gift box

I ordered my Encore invites from a place in Queens called Maspeth Press on Grand Ave. I know it's probably far for you guys but I highly recommend them. They were great to work with.

I used Encore for my e-party invite and everyone loved it! I got tons of compliments and I was extremely pleased with the quality of their invites. Here is a pic of my e-party invites:

Junebride04, where in Manhasset please? That's where I live and I just have to go see them. They are unbelievable.

Re: Anyone used these invitations by Encore, sent to each person in it's own gift box

I don't have the info right now I have to search, but I think the place was on Plandome Rd? It was a stationary/gift store on the left hand side.

Re: Anyone used these invitations by Encore, sent to each person in it's own gift box

Is it opposite the movie and the stationery store in way in the back of the store? The front has very beautiful and unusual gift items for the home. I can't remember the name either but I browse in there alot.
Thanks.
