I must show you (pics) NOW FIXED

Here are my invitations!! Check out the calligraphy. I am in love.

I had a really hard time picking invites. I wanted something different. But everything ended up looking gimmicky or was of cheap quality. Basically, I realized that I wanted the invite to reflect this elegant party. I ended up going to a well known, but small invite company in NYC. The name is Mrs. John L. Strong. They sell it at their own office and at Barney's. They only do engraved invites. It is really simple. The thickness of the invite is about 4 times thicker than a regular thick invite. It is actually thicker than cardboard. The edge is painted gold. The envelope liner is blackish gold.

The invite is so simple, but we went crazy with this super fancy calligraphy. The guy, Michael Sull, is known for this special kind of writing. He is actually in Kansas. So we had to ship everything down.

Beautiful!

Just one comment - the invite with the Massapequa address has the wrong Zip code. Massapequa is 11758.
Massapequa PARK is 11762.

The invite will be returned to you for non-existant street or something like that. There is no crossover with the two post offices.

Just trying to save you a headache in a few weeks.

I see what you mean -- the calligraphy is very beautiful! Congrats on getting your invites! (psst -- I don't know if that's a real invite but the zip code for Massapequa is wrong!)
