USTOM ESIGN

ALLERY

The fine art paper industry has an unlimited selection of papers with new textures, styles and color trends introduced each year.

Wedding invitations are no longer simply a choice of white or ecru cardstock.

Some papers are so thin you can see through them...so we wrap them around invitations, replacing the original thin white 'tissue' that protected the old inks from smudging. We tie invitations with luscious silk and organdy ribbon, put a band around the middle, attach a

hand-torn personalized monogram seal or sparkling

swarovski crystal, deckle the paper edges, box

them, mount them on stiff board, add a printed

photo, design a monogram, and use other

techniques to produce unique, personalized, and

tone setting presentations that let your guests

know they are invited to a very special event.

Sometimes you have an idea and are not sure how to create it. Other times you are searching for an idea, and would like someone to help you discover it. Our goal is to provide a relaxed, friendly environment with lots of discussion, paper samples and a variety of finished custom invitations. All this, we believe, will help spark your creativity and generate your vision and ideas that encompass your preferences and style with results that exceed your expectations.

We Help You Set the Tone for Your Special Event

There are common components to all invitations, as well as distinguishing aspects, that must be considered when choosing invitations for a special event.

We offer all components of the wedding invitation set including the invitations, response cards, ceremony cards, directions cards, accommodations cards, at home cards, envelopes, calligraphy addressing and postage.

(see our exclusive guest calligraphy font)

With over 20 years of knowledge and

experience, we work with all aspects of

custom design including materials, wording,

creation, production, printing, assembling,

addressing, stuffing & mailing services, as

well as assist with wording, etiquette, timelines

for delivery, and addressing guidelines.

We can coordinate the invitation design with

ceremony and reception pieces including

programs, pew cards, descriptive cards or

tags, reception table cards, escort or place

cards, menus, and thank you cards,

providing a complete stationery package.

Invitations set the tone for special events and are usually the first glimpse your guests receive of the type of event being planned.
