Hand-inked invitations became less the realm of necessity and more the product of a gracious hostess. These days, I'd be super impressed to receive such an invite - just knowing that my hostess took the time to do what you've done would set my mind for a very special party, indeed! e-vite, schmee-vite - hand-written is where it's at!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-53331449364958571872008-12-29T15:12:00.000-06:002008-12-29T15:12:00.000-06:00They are beautiful and so festive!
