Re: Lion in the Sun- Huntington

I ordered my invitations from Lion in the Sun. I had ordered many samples from the mail order catalogs to get an idea of what I wanted, but nothing was exactly what I wanted.

I took my favorite sample from the mail order companies with me to Lion in th Sun and told the sales lady that I wanted something like it, but with a flat invitation and my wedding colors. She pulled out 2 books for me and I found the perfect invitation in the first book. I didn't want to overwhelm myself by looking through more than 2 books. They have hundreds!

I had my invitations in less than 2 weeks. They faxed me a proof so I could check everything and were also very helpful while I was wording the invitation.

Everything was perfect.

They also encouraged me to order extra envelopes, which I'm glad I did because I addressed them myself and had a few mistakes with my computer.

I had a good experience with them--friendly service, good selection, no stress. The invitations were probably the easiest part of the entire planning process.

Don't have the address - but it is in Huntington Village - go to switchboard.com! (I hear good things as well - a little expensive though.

Re: Lion in the Sun- Huntington

Great service. I know someone who loved their wedding invites from there.
I ordered my wish bowl notecards and they were super nice.

I got my engagement party invitations there. They were great to work with and had a huge selection. They were ready 10 days after I ordered them.

Re: Lion in the Sun- Huntington

Thanks everyone. I am going there tomorrow morning. I will let you know how it goes. I went to three places in NYC and saw the same Crane's and William Arthur books everywhere. Of course I found one I loved in Crane's at Kate's Paperie - and a beautiful paper to do a custom envelope lining. Then we added up the $$ for it and I almost cried. That's what you get for going to the most expensive place first
