Okay so today I went to Gifts of Love in Queens with my mom and MOH - HIGHLY recommended place - love it there and my family has used them for many occasions.
I picked out my invitations! I put some money down on them but I didn't order them yet because I can't decide on the wording ( i want to include both sets of parents) they are totally not what i thought i would like since they are very modern and I am usually a very ornate person (read: gaudy italian) i have a terrible picture that i found but they have some snowflakes at the top and then it will say:
The miracle of love is that it is given to us to give to each other . . .
Matilde (snowflake) Anthony then the wording. . . .
the response card has one snowflake on it and i also got the matching place cards!!!
but this is what I LOVE ABOUT THEM!!!!!!!!!! and really makes them special! the ink is SILVER GLITTER!!!! the ink has sparkles in it and it is SO DIFFERENT AND BEAUTIFUL!! ok sorry i am excited:
and then for my favor i got these GORGEOUS crystal and silver containers for grated cheese or sugar! they have a little spoon and everything - i thought they were something useful and elegant and will match almost anything!!
here is a pic - it was wrapped in plastic so its not the best:
I can't wait to show FH!

Re: Invites and Favors: CHECK!
Ooh, very nice, Tilde. When I go for invites I'd like to go to a place where I can leaf through lots of samples and see what they look like (as opposed to ordering online). Is this a good place for that? If so, would you FM me the details (address, etc.)? Thanks!

i will FM you and i HIGHLY recommend NOT ordering online ( or at least checking them out first in person ) i ordered four samples from a website and i didnt like a single one in person!
she has a million HUGE books - it is almost overwhelming but she is very helpful and HONEST lol
