What a rude thing to say. If she wants swans then she should have swans. It is her wedding not yours.
I thought I had seen one in one of the catalogs I had requested but I don't see it. I will keep looking for you though. Goodluck!
Although she was a bit blunt, I don't think Linda was meaning to be rude. The original post asked for any suggestions and Linda made one. The fact is, she's right too about the trend for invitations; simple and elegant is the way to go. However, if someone wants swans, then yes I agree they should have swans.
So, my post to the original post is this- look in any bridal magazine and there are a zillion little inserts for bridal catalogs of all kinds. I called one number and received over 20 invitation catalogs -- several of which had swan invitations.
