It's Time! (please read)

When I first started reading your 'confession,' I thought you were coming out of the closet to confess that you were a porn star or something !!!!!
If I didn't already have my invitations.....I would have loved to have given you my business.
BUt while you're here....to the RSVP cards go in front of the invite, or behind?
I already sent mine out and took a guess....curious to know if I did it right.

That's awesome!!!

Congrats- Good luck to you in the future- hope the business does even better than it has ever done before b/c of this site!!

Thanks Dani! I hope so too.

Maybe there are things that I can do to combine forces with EAP, and we can all work together to help make every LIW brides wedding perfect! Congrats to you for joining their team, I am sure you are a great addition.

But just so everyone knows, that isn't why I posted this .... I just felt like I had been hiding a big piece of who I am, and I am a strong believer in honesty and always try to be upfront with everyone I consider a friend. Over the last few months of posting on LIW I feel like I have started to form friendships with some of you, and it just didn't seem right to not share this with you.

Maybe in the back of my head I figured if I waited until I had been around a while and had been posting for some time, you gals would be more likely to believe me that I am a real .

Thank you to everyone who has welcomed me with open arms, it really warms my heart and means the world to me!

Of course....I feel that you are someone that can really help us girls that have questions and need answers regarding invitations....I think it is so great what you do, and it makes things more comfortable to get to talk to you and be comfortable asking you things... ALSO...you are a NRB, so I need you on here....HA Good Luck

awww Date Twin. u are too cute! Ofcourse you can stay silly goose.

Why not, I do not see why you would even question it Smurfet Stay,

OMG I think this is soo cool!!
How lucky are we 07 girls to have a fabulous vendor as one of our own!!!!
I think that is great...and hopefully most of us will use you!!!!!

And don't be silly..this is where you belong...you are always welcome here...

And of course the first place I go look after this post...is your invitation idea album!!

Awww, thank you so much ladies!

of course it is!! as long as us LIW girls get a discount at your store!! just kidding!!!

Thanks for letting us know though....I need to start looking at invitations!!

---

I will see what I can come up with! Something special for my 07 girls!

---

Oh man...you tell me now after I already ordered my invitations!

LOL, I had planned on stopping by your store this past week but was delayed. Now I might have to just send the FW.
Surely you would become suspicious of a groom with so much knowledge. LOL

Yay!! A vendor and a bride!! Awesome! At least you know for sure that one of your vendors will not disappoint you!

I'm going to be looking for invites soon too. Does your company do letterpress? I really love the look of it, but the prices are soooo steep.

Congrats on your upcoming wedding and your business!! And thanks in advance for all of the help you have given/will give us!!

That would be awesome, I would love to meet Soon to be Mrs. MysteryGroom!

And Groom's with knowledge like an LIW bride are welcome anytime, I think its awesome that you are so into helping your FW plan the wedding. She's lucky to have you. Many girls on here feel like they are when they ask their Grooms for help!

Awwwwww, thanks!

I have so much pressure from my friends and family to send the PERFECT invitaitons, everyone is waiting to see what I pick!

Letterpress can definitely be but there are a couple of companies that aren't THAT high.

I really am HTH!

So, I’ve been posting on LIW for 7 months now (almost 800 posts!) and I think its time that I came “out of the closet”!!!

Its not that I’ve been hiding exactly, but just that I’ve never said what I do for a living … but I see how warmly you all have welcomed some other brides who are also in the “wedding business” …. and I can only hope you will welcome me in the same way.

After giving it much thought and internal debate, I came to the realization that if I want to have real friendships with all of you wonderful ladies on here, I have to let you into my world and tell you.

I own an invitation store in Oceanside with my family: Invitations & Beyond.

We are a vendor on here and I have truly loved meeting those of you who have come into my store. I hope that in the future I will have the opportunity to meet more of you whether its at my store or at a GTG!

I promise to always try to answer any questions you may have relating to invitations, you can FM me anytime.

So .... what do you think ... is it ok if I stay?

YAY Jessica!!!! I can vouch for Jessica being a real bride to be... My mom and I went into invitations and beyond and Jessica was so helpful... and of course while we were there, i noticed her beautiful

Seriously ladies, check out Inviations and Beyond... I have posted on them before (even before I saw this post!!!) and they are wonderful! Jessica and the staff were great!!!! they helped me and my mom find the perfect invites at the perfect price! Jessica even fielded my stupid phone call the day i was assembling the invites! 'Uh... how do I stuff these the right way?'

thanks Jessica for everything you did for me and you better stay on the boards!!!

-Karen (the one who bought the Irish themed invites in October with the short little Irish mom who had all the questions!!! and now that my RSVP date has passed, I can't even tell you how many comments i've gotten on the invites!!!

Of course I remember you Karen!

Thanks for vouching that I am a real !!!!

Your invites were so pretty and went perfectly with your Irish background, I am so glad that all your friends and family loved them and you received compliments.

And you have the CUTEST Mom, she is very sweet!

I hope you and Sean have a beautiful day and a long and happy marriage. I hope to see more of you on LIW now that I am 'out of the closet'.
