Custom Invitations That Give You an Excuse to Need Them
Some of us are party-throwers, and some of us are party-goers. I'm in the latter category; just the thought of planning a guest list has me biting off my nails. However, the custom invitations from 1st Comes Love are so wonderful that they've got me thinking up occasions that merit a get-together.

Going beyond the traditional wedding and baby shower invitations, owner and designer (and mom) Roopal Shah has created modern but accessible stationery for a wide range of occasions - from kids party cards to birth announcements to third anniversary of her 35th birthday invitations.

Her attention to detail throughout the design process and in the finished product is impeccable, and naturally this level of care comes with a higher price point than your average off-the-shelf set of "Join us for a __________" style invitations. But a truly special occasion ought to start with invites to match,  even if the rest of the party details threaten to leave you in dire need of a manicure. -Julie

Congratulations to Tabitha B, winner of a set of custom correspondence cards!
