DEMPSEY & CARROLL RE-INTRODUCES THE PERFECT INVITATIONS FOR THE SUMMER PARTY SEASON

New York City June, 2006—This summer season, Dempsey & Carroll is proud to re-introduce our line of summer themed fill-in invitations. Designed to make summer party planning easier while still maintaining style and grace, these invitations are the perfect choice for summer. Whether for a sophisticated cocktail hour or a casual clam-bake, these invitations allow you to fill in the details while they set the appropriate tone for your event.

“Summer is a time to relax and enjoy life with family and friends, but it’s also a very busy social time. It seems that every weekend is taken up with some sort of party or gathering; and when you’re the host, you want everything to be simple and successful so you can enjoy yourself too” says Lauren Marrus, president. “With these invitations you just fill in a few details and address the envelopes and you’re all set. The fact that they are engraved adds just an extra little bit of sophistication to your event without your having to do much in advance.”

Summer motifs include a sailboat, a frog, a ladybug, and a lobster claw. Bordered fill-ins without a motif are also available. The invitations are sold in sets of 10 with 10 envelopes for $38 and are available online at www.dempseyandcarroll.com, through our New York City studio, or our retail dealers.
