Just ordered my invitations :)

by Eims » Tue Nov 08, 2011 2:16 pm

Hey Missies,

I just ordered my wedding invitations and place names as well as cute little hangers for the bottles. I am so chuffed! I received my sample pack last week and was so impressed with the quality and design that I ordered last night.

We ordered:

100 invitations with the guest names printed on them already
10 invitations (blank)
160 Places names
50 Bottles Hangers

All for €202

Now we did order them from Poland but the lady is going to personalise everything for us. We are having a Polish/Irish wedding so 40% of the invitations will be in English and the rest in Polish. We ordered the place names in relation to gender; one place name type for men and another more feminine one for the ladies.

V. excited now. It's all becoming so real.

Roll on Aug 2012 :justarried2

Wow - that is all soooo lovely - well done you.
That is an amazing price!
I don't suppose the lady is Poland can do all this for a full irish Wedding??
Sorry for jumping on your bandwagon!

Sounds like a good price.

This may be a silly question, but what are bottle hangers? I've never heard of them.

Hey MrsTK2B,

The bottle hanger things (don't know the official name in English) are to hang on bottles of wine or vodka and usually they have little poems, rhymes or toasts encouraging the guests to have a good time. I really like them and in Poland the guests would usually take them as mementoes. Our ones will have some in English/Irish and some in Poland with our initials and the date of our wedding. Check out the pic below for an idea of what I am talking about.

One of the Polish texts to chose from translates into:

Have thou art old young
grab a glass of your
a young couple
time to drink a toast!

And we are thinking about this for the Irish toast:

Here's to the wings of love,
may they never molt a feather,
till your little shoes and my big boots are under the bed together.
