Web Site Find: Flutter Studios

We've received word of a great new online wedding invitation store called Flutter Studios - they provide fine wedding stationery from a fresh, modern perspective. Not only are the invitation designs beautiful, but the site design and layout is just as nice.

At Flutter Studios, all the designs are available on the site for you to personalize and preview, so there's no need for a consultation. You will immediately be able to see what your invitation will look like before ordering with their live preview feature. You can select from Flutter Studios wording templates or use the free form template where you build it your way.

Placing your wedding invitation order is done in 3 easy steps with your final price being provided to you in the first step.

Step 1: Select the products that you want to order and adjust quantities. You will see your final price immediately.

Our favorite part of the site? The Invitation Schedule on the home page. While it's just a guideline - you simply enter your wedding date and you are given the suggested dates you should address and send out your invitations by, when to address and mail them, as well as when the guests should reply by.

PS - please look for our Web Site Find posts to be a regular feature of our blog.

Fortune Cookie Favors

If you are looking for a special and delectable wedding favor - Emily's Chocolates is now offering Chocolate-Covered Fortune Cookie Favors. Each cookie is coated with a special blend of smooth milk chocolate and comes individually wrapped inside a white, personal-sized takeout-style tote embossed with the Chinese character for love.

We have tasted other fortune cookie favors - but, Emily's are exceptionally delicious and the cookie itself isn't hard to bite into or break open (to reveal a fortune of love).

These Chocolate-Covered Fortune Cookie Favors are sold in a box of 70 and retail for $105. Each cookie contains 1 of 12 messages of love (one example is - "If you want to be loved, be lovable!"). Although these boxes can be left as they are, you can add a ribbon and bow with maybe a floral embellishment for the perfect presentation. At $1.50 per favor plus the cost of your additional decoration, these favors from Emily's Chocolates are an inexpensive and beautiful edible party favor.
