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?

LIMOM- I am not sure...I went there last summer when I was looking for invites for my e-party and I don't remember the name of it. I do remember that there was a HagenDaz Ice Cream store across the street though. As soon as I look up the info I will FM you!

Junebride04, I FM'd you the price quotes she gave me, but I can't remember which price was for which style...but it gives you a ballpark.

Thanks so much, Junebride. I think that's it, but I'll just go look for HagenDazs. I may stop in there too!

Those are beautiful. I also saw them at Can You Do Me A Favor.

They really are beautiful, very expensive though.

My SIL got an invite that looked similar to what you described. It came in a gift box and had I think some kind of pressed flowers. While pretty, I personally do not think invites are worth it and those invites are not really my style anyway (I guess lucky for me). For the most part - people throw them in the garbage. I have only saved 2 invites in my live (my brother and my MOH's - not because they were pretty but because of the special person) and I have been to a gazillion weddings.

Besides the cost of the invite - you have to think of the mailing costs as well. If you love them though and it does fit you budget - I say go for it. If these are your dream invites and you have been mulling them for 6 months - go for it!!

Thanks Nicey. I was pricing out other Encore invites, and they were around $1,200 or $1,300...so these are not THAT much worse in terms of price.

I'm going to go back to and look at these in person again.

Thank god I still have a bit more time to decide!
