Custom Stamps

A growing trend of wedding invitations is to dress up not only the actual invitation, but to dress up the outer envelope, the first thing guests will see. The United States Postal Service offers custom stamps as a way of dressing up your envelopes. You can add anything from a photo, an illustration, or your custom monogram to these stamps. Any graphics that we use on your invitations could also be used on the stamps to tie everything together. We would provide you the file, or let us handle the whole project to save you time! It's a great way to get an all-together look and give your guests even more anticipation towards your wedding!

Bridal Shower Invitations

Here is a photo of the bridal shower invitation we did for Rosalie. This design originally had a black background, but since her shower has a tropical theme, we made the background pink and the text orange. Enjoy!

Jenny and Jon

We are currently working on invitations and save the date magnets for Jenny and Jon - here are photos of the samples we did for them. The invitation uses a design that we carried into the insert cards. We made it a continous seamless design for the insert cards.

Here are some photos of some recent invitations and accessories we have done.

Etiquette Question

Your Etiquette Questions Answered:


Q: How do I list divorced parents names on my invitations?

A: If yours or your fiance's parents are divorced, here are some tips. First list the bride's parents names (divorced or not) and then the groom's parents names. If say, the bride's parents are divorced, list her father's name (and his spouse if applicable), then on the next line, list the bride's mothers name (and her spouse if applicable). And the same applies for the groom's parents. Never list divorced parents on the same line of the invitation. Also, if there are too many names to list, a classy way to encompass everyone is to say, "Together with our parents" or "Together with our families". This generalizes things, but includes everyone without having a ton of names listed.

March Newsletter

Here is some information from the March Newsletter we just sent out:

This month we thought we'd reflect on why custom wedding invitations are so great versus online invitations, here is our top 10 list (OK, top 11):

11. See colors and textures before ordering and before paying! No guessing involved
10. No hassle trying to make your own invitations, let alone the cost of mess-ups
9. See a finished sample before ordering
8. Ability to make changes after seeing a sample
7. Invitations unique only to you
6. Custom design service with more creative options
5. Full invitation assembly (many online vendors make YOU do the assembly)
4. Complete mailing service available
3. Work with someone who really cares about your wedding and YOUR deadlines
2. Support a local business!
1. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO TIE 200 RIBBONS?

And don't think because they're custom that you have to pay and arm and a leg. We have a very wide range of prices and invitation styles.
