The best part? The wax seal on the back of your envelope will be made using gold glitter dust, faux Christmas pine, and YOUR OWN custom initial at the center. ✍🏼
    (I would be willing to bet one thousand dollars says that there was more than a little wax stamping happening at The Biltmore during the days it was built. Actually, hang on…let me Google that …I bet it was a custom “V” stamp.)
