Trust your simcha to hamesh vendors.
Kindness counts.
Let's start with invitations - The invitation sets the tone for your simcha and lets your guests know what to expect.

If your sisterhood doesn't offer the breadth of choice you require, please consider the vendors I've listed below.
Gallery Judaica - Carol Hilder - Buffalo Grove Road & Half Day Road chezpapier@msn.net Tefillin, Tallit, Kipot, invitations and more.
