HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Nov. 15, 2010 /PRNewswire/ --  Cocodot, the leading resource for chic online invitations and greetings, has partnered with renowned event producer and author, David Stark, on a limited edition holiday collection of online invites and greeting cards.

The David Stark for Cocodot Holiday Collection is a one stop shop for all entertaining needs, from playful party invitations, unexpected greetings, photo upload cards and even thank you notes, Stark's on a mission to make holiday correspondence fast and fun. "As a design driven company, we look to the industry leaders for inspiration.  David Stark was a natural fit for us this holiday season, as he has one of the most distinguished voices in the entertaining design space.
