Why oh why is this so DIFFICULT!?!?

Re: Why oh why is this so DIFFICULT!?!?

How much more is the ribbon? Does it still come with the holes even if you don't buy the ribbon? Can we buy the ribbon ourselves (wholesale, garment district, etc.) and put it together? I don’t recall the amount of the ribbon, but it actually does not go thru holes, this is on invite #3, the Encore one. It’s glued on by the company. I agree it does make the invite pop. Will have to get a sample of it! I did order a sample of #1 Oasis. I SO love that one!

-I was referring to the ribbon on #3 (Oasis) not the Encore one...I hope that one comes with the ribbon, if not - it def should be purchased...it looks amazing with it (just as pictured).

OK, I love how I'm talking 'we'...I feel sorta like I'm getting married again...minus the stress. So excited for you! Thank you in advance for any and ALL help you provide me!!!

-You're welcome in advance!

And here's a for the stress! I am good now, but thank you, I am sure there will be MANY days ahead that I will need this, and a few drinks!

-Oh yes, lots o'drinkin' in your future!

ETA: Green, Tiffany blue, who cares? It's a gorgeous invite! Besides, 'true' Tiffany blue is patented and therefore cannot be used. I have accepted that I need to LOVE the invite, regardless of color!

-Best 'acceptance' ever!

I used a lady in West Islip who does it out of her house. She gave me a 20% discount. FM me if you need her info. She is really nice. My invites cost $340 for 100 and I absolutley love them.

I am sorry for the confusion, I looked back at my previous posts, w/ the pictures and realized I was mixing up the numbers!!
I am sure the ribbon comes with the Oasis one.

I tried to read all the posts, bu tI got confused as to which one you like. I like dthe Carlson Craft one that looked like an envelopment.

I made my own invites, pocketfolds, so if you would like to know more info, FM me. Glad to help...maybe thinking of someone else's wedding can help me destress from my own!

if you have something really specific in mind, try this bc you can basically design your own:
Gaddis Design
Me & several of my friends have used her and LOVED her work

I am sorry I caused a bit of confusion, I even confused myself!

To clarify...
Oasis is the greenish one w/ the swirls and ribbon with the names on the front.

Golden Filigree is the gold one (duh), that folds and tucks into itself.

The Encore one is the last one, with the white ribbon on the side.

I had a problem finding an invite I liked as well for a reasonable price. So I had a girl named Maryellen design my dream invite for a literal fraction of the cost!

If you drop her an email with some attachments of what you like she will put together a sample package for you free.

I pimp her out all over but she really helped me.


Maryellen Email





Thank you...yes I have emailed her, and am awaiting a sample packet from her. Just trying to keep all my options open.
