I never get tired of seeing the look in my customer’s eye when they visit the shop or hearing from someone far away about how much they love their invitations or stationery because it was the perfect addition or compliment to their wedding, special event or milestone event. They recognize the time, effort and quality worthy of the most awe-inspiring wedding or event and that’s why I do what I do.

I didn’t always have this business and as an extremely shy teenager, I honestly never even considered being a business owner. In fact, I was a psychology major turned college drop out with no idea what I wanted to do except that I wanted a job where I could be creative.
After we were married in 2002, I decided to go back to school for a degree in graphic design and around this time we also moved to the Philadelphia area where I took a job as the “marketing coordinator” for a small, residential architect. In 2005, I started freelancing on the side to build up my design portfolio. By day I was marketing my architect boss and by night I was building a client list, and keeping up with school work.
In 2010, I had my official grand opening here in the shop and while things have changed more than once since then, I’m still working out of this tiny space, living my dream and loving my work.
When I’m not working, I’m spending time with my family and our three Basset Hounds, L. J. Stewie and Ozzy. We love spending time fishing and boating along the Delaware Seashore and camping at my family’s property in the mountains of PA.
and let me know how I can help!
Why we are different:
- We treat you like family. Our no. 1 priority is and has always been our clients’ experience. Even when we never meet in person, we try to get to know you and in turn let you know us. That relationship we build is the key to every successful project and we not only care about you but how your guests feel when they receive their invitation in the mail.
- We are self described perfectionists. We analyze every detail from start to finish to make sure everything is absolutely perfect from designing, to proofing and production, we are 100% invested in our projects to make sure they are done right and on time.
- Assembly is included! Some stationers send you all the materials to do the assembly yourself. We do all the work for you so you don’t have to. You receive your invitations just like we show them in our photos. All you need to do is stamp, stuff and seal. {Want it all done for you? We also offer addressing, stuffing and mailing services on request when available.}
- We do everything under one roof. We design, print and assemble right here in our shop for most of our services. That means we have full control over timelines and schedules as well as oversee every detail that goes into your project.
- We can’t always give you a price on the spot but this is actually a good thing. You have the ability to customize just about every detail of your wedding stationery package to perfectly fit your tastes, style and budget!
