About
They say obsessions start when you’re young. Jill should have realized, at the age of 8, when she wrote to countless pen pals using stationery sets and made invitations to tea parties, that her paper and ink obsession just might stick. Today, she loves the antique art of letterpress, “toothy” paper, and making her client’s vision come to life. She specializes in custom wedding invitations and stationery, doing all things in-house, from designing to printing and assembly, assuring the highest level of quality control.

Endorsements
Jill Cate did our wedding invitations, and can I just say that they were beautiful! Her designs were sophisticated and classic, and our guests were SO impressed by them. Jill Cate is not your average company. She met with me and listened to all my wants and needs and incorporated them into her design. She exceeded our expectations, and I heartily recommend her services to anyone!

Additional Questions and Answers
Here's how the process works...After an initial meeting or phone call, I send proofs to you via email for changes and approval. Once the approval process is done, you can expect your invitations within 2-3 weeks! We do mostly letterpress invitations, but for the cost-conscious bride, we do offer flat printing as well. Since we're new to Wedding Wire, here's what previous clients have said... “The box arrived this morning and the invites are beautiful. Thank you for doing such an amazing job. I absolutely love them. They are far more than I dreamed of. I loved working with you and liked all your ideas and color combinations.” - (Lisel) I wanted to tell you that I’ve received so many compliments on the invitations. Everyone loves them. Thank you so much. You truly have a gift.” - (Talitha) “The reviews are rolling in. And they’re rave.” - (Celeste) “Oh my gosh- your invitations and my dress were the inspiration for the entire wedding! I want you to know that we got 30 responses back that the invites were the nicest anyone has seen!”- (Allison) "I saw the invitations and i love them! They look so amazing and you are amazing, too, for creating such beautiful and fun invitations! We are both so happy with the final outcome and thank you with all of our hearts! - (Jessica)

Tips and Advice
In order to figure out exactly what kind of unique invitation you want, before our initial conversation, make sure you have considered the following... 1. the wedding date and location 2. a rough idea of the text that you wish to be used for your invitation 3. any special features about your wedding location or pictures/sketches of things that have special meaning for you and your fiance that you might want to incorporate into the design 4. the quantity you will be ordering. it is safe to order 20 more than you think you need. it is much more costly to place another order than to pay for them upfront. you will be surprised how quickly they go an how many people ask for the extras! 5. websites or samples/tear sheets of other invitations you’ve seen that you like 6. the pieces that you want to include (do you want both an inner and outer envelope? do you need a hand drawn map as well as a hotel information page? do you need programs and thank you notes?)
