Trust me ladies I know how you feel, it can be frustrating and sometimes you wish the designer was hiding behind the dressing room ready to create something unique just for you! Don’t let that be the case for your invitations, designing your own closet may not be easy, however customizing invitations is as easy as putting on your eyeliner! Not only is it easy, but they are personalized to your every preference, custom invitations allow you to choose your enclosure, paper style, designs, colours, ribbons, fonts, embellishments and much more! Our custom designers have a great eye for detail and really make your vision come to life. Don’t settle on any design, your style is always distinct, trendy and modern, why not let it shine through in your invitations?

Finding the perfect match for your special day is easy when you have all these options.

Check out the photos on our website at www.in-vite.ca to see the masterpieces we can help you create, having an opinion and choosing your design is really all we need to make you and your guests happy!

They say time flies when you’re having fun, I guess that explains why you can’t remember all the guests you spoke to or all the songs you boogied down to, or wait those embarrassing speeches your friends gave in front of your guests about how you really met your fiancé (hope Mom wasn’t listening).

Newlyweds Mirjana & David, whose invitations, menus and place cards we designed, did not let all that hard work go unremembered, they made sure to hire one of the trendiest and accommodating photographers around! Vera and her friendly team at La V Photo made sure not to overlook a single moment and captured all the romance and excitement of Mirjana & David’s wedding.

I loved this couple’s photographs; they have a feel of Hollywood glamour and yet still are modern and fun. La V Photo is one of our favorite teams to recommend, we’ve known Vera for years and her ideas get better by the day, telling a story with a photograph is what her and her team do best! Make sure to visit their website and blog at www.lavphoto.com to see more of their incredible work.

You consider yourself a great and kind person, I mean you get up for seniors and pregnant ladies on the bus and when someone falls in the snow you’re the only one who runs to help them up while everyone else laughs!

Some of the highlights

So great people should have great luck right? Yet you have those days where it feels like the universe is working against you and you don’t know why?  It’s 9:00 am and there goes coffee on your white shirt and your pants rip when you get up in front of everyone in the office. Wait it gets better, just when you thought your morning couldn’t get worse…while you were presenting a meeting in front of your big boss, everyone failed to mention you had crumbs on your face (you were wondering why he seemed SO interested). Ugh “what did I do to deserve this” is all you want to yell out loud!

After all our hard work and anticipation for the bridal show, we experienced one of these days ourselves!

We spent days hand picking which invitations we felt you’d love to see, packing up our accessories, banners, pamphlets and everything we believed would enhance your experience. Friday morning, setup day, here we go, movers are ready to transport our shelves… low and behold our shelves have collapsed and can’t be restored! Okay we’re an hour off track now, no big deal lets go buy news ones (quick fix), uh oh the stores machines aren’t working for an undetermined period of time and we can’t quite purchase the shelves…our minds are racing, we’re running out of time!

Okay we finally arrived at Place Bonaventure and we had a really sweet and helpful friend assemble our shelves! As we unpacked everything, we felt pressed for time and were worried our vision wouldn’t come through. All that to say, we took a deep breath, took on the weekend with a smile and hoped for the best, the result? Great feedback, tons of gracious and kind words from brides and questions galore on which colours, paper styles or embellishments they could have and when could we have it ready! Today I sit here on my laptop and answer the non-stop phone calls to book appointments and say remember that if you believe and love what you do…others will too! Don’t dwell on the setbacks, focus on the goal and success will follow. Thanks everyone who helped make the weekend a great one, hope to meet most of you again in our office!

Sunday Rose by Monique Lhuillier

Ladies, I know you have all spent hours watching marathons of TLC’s “Say Yes to The Dress” (unless you’re really not obsessed with all pretty things involving fashion and weddings like me) !

Oh yes and not only do you know what show I’m talking about… but the name “Monique Lhuillier” rings many bells. You can already imagine yourself trying on one of her lovely dresses at Kleinfelds. If her dresses weren’t already pretty enough, she has just introduced a new line of gorgeous and show stopping invitations!

You’re Getting Married; It’s Okay To Be Romantic:

Whether you’re an emotional bride, strong willed or don’t consider yourself a “cheesy” bride, Monique still believes every bride is romantic and creates timeless romance in her designs:

Less is More :

Why is Kate Middleton so idolized? Her simplicity and poise keep her looking fresh and fashionable! I love making an impression with my simplicity; you don’t need to over do it on the details ladies! Monique’s invitations are designed to understate elegance and keep it classy!

Ladies, if you send me one of these invitations I will be looking at it everyday, even after the wedding!
