I am going to order mine the beg. of December because they are hand made and they take 1-2 months to make. I still haven't decided who I am going to use but here is a pic of the invites themselves. I love them!!

We are going to order our invites in January (the wedding is in May) and we just happened to find these in one of the invitation catalogs we got:

I ordered mine already for my February wedding. I used Jodi From Simplicity Planning. Great price, good quality and sooooooooo sweet!

I ordered mine and they actually arrived last week - so they're in my room right now! I'm not getting married until April (I guess I got a little ahead of myself!)
I used the party coordinator from The Watermill.

I looked at a few places, lots of catalogues and knew the style I wanted..they were expensive ..UNTIL>>>>>i found them in a birchcraft book..so I kept searching and found them at Party City believe it or not..I thought party city would have junky invitations..and actually they did ..alot of them were crap..but mine were in there. My mom is paying for our inviations..so I definately checked around..these were what I wanted..and they were 30 % off..you wouldnt believe how much I saved..napkins, thankyou's etc were also on sale...I got so much stuff..and saved my mom a fortune..and I got everything I wanted. I just ordered them yesterday, should be in in a few weeks!

I am going order mine online. I have been sending out for free samples left and right. I am not sure when I am going to order them. By the beginning of next year because my family friend is going to do all the calligraphy.

I have sent away for catalogs and free samples and went to some stores in the city and on Long Island. I have a few in mind, but I am still looking. I plan to order them in December/January because I need to allow enough time for them to arrive and then be sent to the calligrapher I am using who is out - of - state.

Re: when are you getting invites & how did you decide who to use????

those invites are all so beautiful! This to me has been such a difficult decision because there are soooooooooooooo many choices!! FH & I agreed on one that I will have to find a picture of! I am going to order them as soon as I finalize the ceremony location! Hopefully by the one year mark or @ least by January. I want to get that expense out of the way and be able to start addressing them and stuffing them! I am ordering them from Karen @ Love my Basket in Massapequa-she has a ton of books to look @ and is really helpful and sweet!

Re: when are you getting invites & how did you decide who to use????

i think i am going to use Callesta Creations b/c they send you the invite and you print and assemble. A little more work, a lot less money. And i don't mind. I like making things. Jenny how did you make out with your e-party invites?

Re: when are you getting invites & how did you decide who to use????

My FSIL owns Spin Design, a graphic design company, so she is making them for us. Her work is so original and I am excited. She is working on our STDs now so they are finished and sent by September.
I hope to have the invites designed by January.
