Write Impressions

Not all stationery/​invitation stores are the same. Write Impressions goes above and beyond! Think of the clientele: it’s a store that makes/​sells invitations in the middle of Long Island. So you’re going to have a store jam-​packed with people — and let’s face it, most likely women — who are about to embark on a big occasion, such as a wedding, bar mitzvah, sweet sixteen, etc. And if you have ever met anyone who falls into any of those categories (including the being on Long Island part), you know that you’re not going to be around sweet, shy people who all agree with one another. And the staff at Write Impressions somehow handles this all with smiles and ease. And the finished product always comes out great.

Went here to look at wedding invitations yesterday. It was our first foray into the whole picking-​out-​invitations thing, so too soon to say if we’ve found «the one,» but we did find three strong contenders. Ellyn was very helpful and quick to ascertain what we were looking for and point us toward invitations we might like, but was definitely not overbearing or pushy as we sat and looked through the various books.
The shop, cute and conveniently located on Merrick Rd, is filled with cards, stationary, knicknacks, and gifts galore. I’ll update if we end up going with one of the designs we found here.
