    I got mine from Chapters in a kids spy kit. You might want to try that.

    This is where we got ours. It took about 2 weeks to come; I think it shipped from Hong Kong!

    I got mine from a spy store. We have a couple around ranging from surveillance stores to joke "spy gadget" stores. I would guess a magic shop would have them, too.

    Thanks guys!  Michaels doesn't have them...at least they're not on their website and the rude guy who answered their phone confirmed they don't have them at the location near me.  Spy stores you say...

    I'm really curious... What are you all using the invisible ink pens for??  I used to love those when I was a kid!

    @MaggieGirl: I used mine for my RSVP cards. I numbered each guest/invite on my Excel spreadsheet with my guest info, then I wrote the corresponding number on my RSVP cards. I've had two RSVPs come back without names, so I just lit up the corner where I wrote the number with my little black light and voila, mystery solved!

    Paper Source has them but they're probably pricier than other sources. Couldn't find them at my local Michael's.

    This is the exact kit I got at Chapters in Canada, available at Borders. Can't beat $7!

    We got ours at Office Max and it was a package of 3. Very easy to find. They were called black light pens.

    @Ms iPhone: So far, so good! Here're a few pictures so you can see for yourself :)

    Our White Linen Cardstock RSVP postcards (I wrote where the stamp will go):invisible ink pen retailers? :  wedding IMG 0631

    With the black light you can see it!

    But... encourage your fiance NOT to test the pen on the middle of the painted wall in the apartment you rent. It definitely shows up if you look closely, without the black light:invisible ink pen retailers? :  wedding IMG 0633

    learning express (not at that location) was a winner!  Thank you sooooo much creativelyengaged and all of you guys for responding.  Lots of leads and hopefully a happy ending to my hunt!  Weddingbee bees rock!

    @daydreamerwanderer: thanks for letting me know and thanks for the tip I think my fiance would definitely try it on more than just the RSVP cards too!!

    Stopped in walmart this afternoon and actually found an invisible ink pen in the toy section.  It is part of a spy toy line.  Just figured I'd pass on the info in case anyone is still searching.

    My fiance and I both use them (nothing more fun than having to uncover a note someone's left you!), and I've always found them at any dollar store, usu. in packs of 2 in the kids' section.  Good luck!

    i ordered mine from dealextreme and after about two months it still has not come yet. They keep on teling me to wait. I am getting very upset with them. It should not take this long.
