A Quickie: Chic and Cheap Invites

I HAD to let you all know about a great opportunity for finding inexpensive, chic invitations.  Swoozie’s, a key stop for cute hostess gifts, personalized stationery and invites of all kinds, is unfortunately going out of business.  

The future absence of the chain will ultimately be a loss party-throwers everywhere, but is currently a gain for maids, MOBs and BTBs planning upcoming celebrations.  All of its inventory is on sale, including wedding and shower invitations.  Imagine my horror (which quickly turned to excitement) when I found the precious lingerie shower invites I bought for $30 at an unnamed store for less than $15 at Swoozie’s just this week!  Now, I’m stocking up for the future showers.  (A note to my friends:  I purchased both wedding and baby themed invites.  The choice is yours as to which I use first!) 

Printable invites abound, perfect for those maids on a budget.  Crane stationery, a must for the traditional bride (and hardly ever on sale), is currently at 20 percent off with further price slashes to come.   While printing services are no longer available, the low prices of the paper are enough to offset the cost of finding another printer.

I, of course, went a little overboard on the Lilly Pulitzer paper products and had to stop myself from buying the whole lot of cute coffee cups, notepads, file folders, stickers and stationery.
