Lately, it's been invitations So show me, or tell me about, the invitations you would love to have if money were no object! I love seeing the beautiful stationery designs.

These are OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive but oh so yummy... Link Holy WOW batman. Those are works of art. The invites I'm considering splurging on are these by Checkerboard (who has like 100 invites I love). http://www.invitationlane.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=MOA-LSM-B&Category_Code=AMO I am having mango callas in my bouquet and John's grandmother carried all callas on her wedding day. So I'm really loving these. Even though they are 150 out of budget. If the dress selling goes well, AND the replacement dress I buy is of equivenent value to the selling price of the gown, which saves me major alteration $$... THEN I may be able to get these. I really love them.

goldenstar Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,032 Last Post: 11/6/2009 Member Since: 9/16/2006	I'm a sucker for boxed invitations. I might try to DIY them. I wonder if it would be hard to make silk bokes. Maybe I can try to find a book about that.

(And since I'm really a LIW sneaking in here, I've got lots of time to fool around. )

Pandora II Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,271 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 8/3/2006	Invitations are one of my big 'silly but HAVE TO HAVE' expenses. I have always, always wanted proper super-formal hand-engraved invitations (I'm not fussed on thermography). My mother thinks I'm nuts, but I want the original copper plate to put in the front of our wedding album - anyhow, she's agreed that they will pay for the cost of thermographed and I will pay the extra for the engraving. I'm getting them from this company based in Scotland (they also do a lot of work in the USA - esp. Letterpress and reckon that they are a lot cheaper than a lot of US companies.) They do all the invitations for the Forces, British Embassies and the Royal Family. Their engraver does the bank notes for the Bank of England. My invitations will be like these: Hand-engraved Edinburgh Copperplate on folded 8" x 6" soft white card. They work out at about $8 each including envelopes and p&p - thermographed would have been $4. Am I crazy??? ETA: These were way cheaper than anyone else in the UK who does hand-engraving.

Dutchgirlll Rough Rock Total Posts: 89 Last Post: 3/10/2008 Member Since: 12/6/2007	I love this style: louella press but the designer from this site makes such beautiful things, just a shame I don't want to spend $25/35 per invite.... (and frankly really can't afford). But take a peek for lots of inspiration: rock paper scissors [URL=""][/URL]

I guess beside that, postage will be a big expense as well. But still great inspiration yes! [URL=""][/URL]

They must be astronomical in price.
