  2. Good evening Kimya,

    I am in the process of looking for invitations for my wedding next year, which is a peacock themed event. Google brought up the invite you had designed for your sister. It’s amazing!! Is there any chance at all I can buy these or order them from you at all?

    Would absolutely love to use this design and I know my fiancé will be thrilled with it.

    Please would you be so kind as to let me know?

    Regards
    Prashanth
