Mrs. Firefly, New York Age and Occupation in 06: 31, Attorney Fiance's Age and Occupation: 35, Finance Engagement Date: April 11, 2004 Wedding Date: June, 2006 Venue: Battery Gardens About Me: I was born in the city of Donetsk in the former Soviet Union (now the Ukraine) and grew up in Brooklyn. Many of my parent's friends are from Russia and the Ukraine as well. We want all of our guests to have a great time and hit the dance floor so we've hired a band that can play both Russian and American music; not to mention a mean rendition of the Gypsy Kings and chair-raising hora!

I know… I know… you all are getting tired of my invitations. But I think I’ve found the *perfect* invites. I’m not sure what style I’ll go with, but the company is called Papel Vivo — they are based in Canada, so the US prices are rather reasonable for letterpress! Here are some styles that I like:

They can also do matching place cards, table numbers, direction cards, etc. I think I’m still going to go with the Shutterfly Save the Dates, because I’m not quite ready to commit to an invitation style and definitely not a color!

Unfortunately, my photographer is booked every weekend in August, so we’re not going to be able to take engagement pictures until September. If we send the Save the Dates in October, guests will still have 9 months to plan for it, which I think is plenty.
