Similar to her whimsy, refined, playful but bold designs, Vera Wangs invitation line embodies the classic proportions, textures and details that made her famous. Whether you want to print them out yourself or have us do it, at Cordially Invited you'll fine everything you need for perfect invitations.

Art of Tea

Trying to lower your daily coffee intake? The Art of Tea line of organic loose leaves are the best way to do this! Steve Schwartz is known by many authoritative figures in the tea industry as a Master Tea Blender. He has blended award winning teas under our Art of Tea brand and his blends have won awards offered under our private label program for tea companies around the world. So whether you are looking for a gift for a yoga instructor or looking to branch out into teas this is where to start. 

Candle Perfect for the Chef in Your Family

Among the various candles we have in the store is the James Boyce Chef's Special Candles. Made specifically for use in the kitchen, these candles are perfect for the chef in your family.

Gift Wrap Heaven

We at Cordially Invited just wanted to remind our readers that a perfectly wrapped gift is a gift that shows how much you care before the receiver even opens the gift. Stop by our store to choose from various paper, ribbons and decorations. Remember: we do complimentary gift wrap for anyone who purchases items form our store.

Two Products that Say "I love you..."

"Honey, did you: take out the garbage?" Postpone marital conflict with these handyNag Notes and make nagging as simple and stress-free as checking a box. Every note includes a handy Nag Back response section because, like marriage, nagging is a two-way street.

Whether these TLC vouchers are redeemed for a candlelit dinner, a tender massage, or an impromptu weekend getaway,they're an easy way to nudge that special someone in the right romantic direction.

Have You Heard?

Govino: A New Take on Wine Glasses

This is where wine meets design. Govino is a product that was originally designed to help professional salespeople showcase their wines and other products. After testing the markets, Govino has gone global, selling their products in stores like ours! After all, how many times have we had to endure drinking wine from a bad glass, or had them break when going to outdoor events? Govino is a new way to have recyclable, shatterproof, elegant wine glasses on-the-go.

In honor of Comic Con...

As some of you may know (or not), the International San Diego Comic Con has arrived, so today we wanted to blog about a product, perfect for the Star Wars fan in your family..."Darth Vader and Son" by Jeffery Brown. Ever wanted to know how Darth Vader would act if he was a good father? Read this book and find out. 

Just a Friendly Reminder...

When you shop local your local tax dollars support:

-neighborhood beautification 

-schools

-roads and infrastructure 

-police and fire department 

-and much more

and the best part is, it's cost effective for you!
