invitations

Ugh. That’s the best thing I have to say about them. There are 3 that we’re debating. All have their merits and their faults (ok, their faults are mostly price). Here are the contenders:

most affordable option – Total internet based company, no samples are available in the font/ink color we want to use. Also, to get our names in Hebrew, we have to send them exactly what we want (not a problem) as a vector graphic and let their graphics people place it for us. We’ll get a PDF proof before the presses are run.

middle priced option – Supports a local business to Ben’s parents (in Brookline), but I’d have to order the accent ribbon online and then mail it to the invitation people because neither of us like Apple Green (read neon green) as an accent color. Mossy/olive greens are much preferable. The shop is more than willing to work with us and is very comfortable with Hebrew (it’s a Judaica shop).

expensive option – Letter press (so pretty) with a Flatirons graphic. Totally awesome, 100% customizable, and made by a local artist. We can get exactly what we want, we just have to be willing to pay for it….
