A wedding celebrates ‘love’ with family<br />
and friends in the most exciting of ways.<br />
And what better way to invite the most<br />
special people in your life than with an<br />
invitation to remember? Invitation cards or<br />
wedding cards are a crucial design<br />
decision for any couple when planning the<br />
big event. Given the number of options<br />
available nowadays at designers and<br />
vendors, it is harder to select or streamline<br />
what is just suited for you.<br />
We have put together this article to make<br />
your life a tad bit easier by showing you<br />
one of the most<br />
current and classiest<br />
designs by a top of<br />
the market wedding<br />
invitation card vendor<br />
- Hasthakaarana.<br />
‘Hasthakaarana’<br />
meaning ‘Handmade<br />
Art’ is fully owned<br />
and run by Sumudu De Silva Stephen who<br />
began her venture back in 2005. Inspired<br />
by the creativity and beauty itself, her<br />
designs are classy and rich in detail. Since<br />
she is focused on quality rather than quantity,<br />
her invitation cards and cake boxes<br />
are sophisticated and elegant. Sumudu<br />
also caters to a wide range of clients meeting<br />
a variety of design requirements.<br />
