It was written by the owner of Lion In The Sun Paperie in Park Slope, Brooklyn and appeared in The Huffington Post Weddings section on April 20, 2012.

In my opinion it’s an important read for anyone looking to make a stationery/invitation purchase.  Here are the highlights but please follow the link to read the article in full here.
