Having watched a number of brides-to-be reduced to near tears searching for the perfect invite, I am quite sensitive to their plight. This is not only an announcement of nuptials but a keepsake that will forever remind you of your day down the isle. Plus it can't be lame, cause lame wedding invites really suck. A local company, Kinohi Designs, makes invites that are truly the cat's meow, an understated slice of paradise with very simple Hawaii images and elegant lines. I'm partial to their stephanotis and pikake line, shown here. Pricing starts at roughly $677 per 50 single panel invites. The company also makes invites for other occassions and is based in the islands.
