Vosges Discount In Time For Mother's Day

I am sneaking a post in during my "blogging vaca" to share a discount at Vosges Haut-Chocolat as you can still sneak in your order in time for Mother's Day. Vosges is a new sponsor on In This Instance and they have a sweet little discount that I thought you may be interested in for any gifts you may have to give during May.

Vosgues chocolate goodies are such a special, yummy indulgance that I personally find them to be a quite lovely gift.  Such superb quality wrapped in a lux little purple hatbox... They have a pretty little collection of Mother's Day chocolate gifts.

Or maybe one of these incredible looking, indulgant little mini-cakes will help make mother's day special...

You can receive 10% off an order of $60 or more until May 28th using the promo code 294WB1.  Final shipping schedules for Mother's Day are:

- Ground shipping will be Monday 4th
- 2 day will be Wednesday 6th and
- Next day Thursday 7th

Enjoy!

Smitten Boutique & Magnificent Milestones

The lovely ladies behind Smitten Boutique and Magnificent Milestones have teamed up to create a fantastic and comprehensive suite of event design and planning services here in Chicago.  I had to share these finds with the Chicago readers...

There is something about wedding planning where you just envision yourself in pretty little shops filled with inspirational goodness... but if you are a Chicago bride you have undoubtedly found yourself trekking zig zag courses across the city to various places for those special wedding purchases.  This is exactly what Smitten Boutique owner, Kirstin, realized as she set out to create a beautiful, inspirational boutique where you can actually check multiple items off your list in one place.  The good news for everyone is that they also have a very lovely selection of gifts for brides, mommys-to-be, babies, and any women in your life along with a wonderful paper selection.  The shop is just gorgeous...

The Magnificent Milestones team is customer-service focused event firm in Chicago that aims to help you design a beautiful event from the initial vision creation to the day of execution.  The team brings a passion for details to the mix and their lovely gallery showcases the depth of their work.  These are just two of my favorite photos but there is so much more to see on their site...

I have a wonderful offer to share with the Chicago ladies today. Smitten Boutique and Magnificent Milestones are offering a 10% discount for consulting services, custom invitations, and anything in the Smitten boutique for In This Instance readers! Just mention this post or print and bring with you for the discount.  Enjoy!

Modern Ink Studio

I am loving the designs from Modern Ink Studio.  They have this modern, fresh, breezy quality that is just so appealing.  I think that the Allie invitation is my favorite from her shop.  I picture a wedding for this invitation suite being as approachable and fresh as the invitiation...

I am also quite smitten with the Alyssa design:

Modern Ink Studio's is offering a 15% discount if you order by April 15th- what a fantastic way to save a little in your wedding budget while getting pretty, custom invites!
