A warm welcome back to Amanda Allen, founder of NewlyWish , who regularly shares her expertise with Merci New York readers…
With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, romance is certainly in the air, and couples are thinking about the best ways to express their love for each other. In this spirit, NewlyWish is launching a big giveaway for Merci New York readers: $1,500 towards wedding invitations from Judy Paulen Designs !
After all, your wedding invitations are one of the first formal keepsakes you give to your guests and set the tone for what’s to come! All you have to do is show and tell us how your invitation design will reflect your love and personal style {see the full giveaway details below}. 
In addition to their selection of boxed notes, favors, and gifts, Judy Paulen Designs carries an extensive collection of custom invitations and wedding stationery by the finest companies in the industry.
In addition to expertise in design, brides also count on Judy Paulen Designs for direction in choosing the proper wording for their wedding invitations. At times, this is a more stressful component than the design of the invitation itself. 
NewlyWish Invitation Inspiration Contest
As our Valentine’s Day gift to you, NewlyWish is giving away a $1,500 wedding invitation prize from Judy Paulen Designs!
1. Select a photo that reflects the inspiration for your invitations or overall event design {perhaps it’s an image of where you first met, or maybe you want your invites to reflect your roots/culture, the location of your dream wedding, or even a specific object that embodies the essence of your love}.
2. Write a sentence that describes why you chose that photo.
3. Send the photo and sentence to info@newlywish.com {include both of your names, preferred email address and phone number}. Only one photo per couple.
4. Your photo will be added to an album on the NewlyWish Facebook page within 24 hours of receipt. Once you receive confirmation, tag your photo in the album.
5. Have your friends and family ‘like’ NewlyWish and ‘like’ your photo!
6. The photo with the most ‘likes’ is our grand prize winner!
