I started looking for invitations this past weekend and can't find one that I love. We went to party city and looked through the books. Does anyone have a suggestion of where I should go on the Island to find invitations and is there one invitation that someone really loves that is classy for a Sat. evening wedding? thanks!

We got ours from Enesco. They were pricey but we cut so many corners we decided to splurge on these. We wanted something elegant and classy. This is what we decided on hope this helps.
OPPS Its Encore and its their Expressions of Love collection, Sorry about that. If you call (800) 526-049 7, x538 they will give you the address of the nearest dealer to you. Or you can search the web.

I'm not sure how much you want tospend, but I went to Proper Papers in Plainview. My sister also got hers there. They have a bunch of books, and they give discounts on the prices. We looked at invites ranging from $5 - $18 each! (I didn't pick the $18, but they were nice) she has tons of stuff and a bunch on the wall with examples. It might be worth the trip. I also got my save the Date cards at 'Write Ideas' on Commack rd. in Commack. Nice place also, a little cheaper.

I used Simply Elegant in Bayside (I got the name from this site). It is a woman who does it from her home. She had tons of books.

Try Papyrus. They have really nice stuff--- you can look on their website but they have a lot more in the actual store. There is one in Roosevelt Field Mall- but there might be one closer to your house.

I love Encore invitations. That is a sure for me. I have my invitation picked out before everything. I saw this really nice one in that book. When I went with my girlfriend I picked it out. They have some very elegant ones in that book. I think when she went I was just a brides mmaid for her and we went somewhere in Floral Park, I think. I know it was on Jericho. But not to far from Umbertos of New Hyde Park. But call the company see if there is a dealer closer to you.

I visited Party City on Saturday also and they were terrible. There was nobody to help me out. I then visited Follow Your Heart in Lindenhurst, New York, after reading a post on this board from another bride. They advertise on this site. They were extremely helpful and very friendly. I found several invitations that I liked. They have tons of invitation books, as well as favors, jewelry and a bunch of accessories. This will definitely be the place where I get everything. They made me feel special and spent lots of time with me. I would deifinitely recommend them.

You can try Have You Heard? in Bellmore or Linda's Lovelies in East Meadow. That's where I'm headed.
I also wanted something classy, but was on a budget. I found something that I thought was simple but elegant on www.willowtreelane.com. I liked that they send you samples for free. And they were very affordable. good luck!
