    Perfect Invitations

    Kasey is amazing! She is very creative and does not make the same invitation. Kasey was flexible with me giving her ideas or color schemes I had and she worked her magic. Kasey sent a proof of the save the date magnet and invitation that gave us easy access to edit or make changes. The invitations meshed well with our rustic barn venue and the colors. Highly recommend!!

    DBY/ Kasey

    Professional, classy, unique, superior customer service, and incredibly accommodating. We found DBY at a Bridal Expo. From day one meeting, we knew we were in good hands. Kasey walked us through every step, listened to our needs and wants, and gave great suggestions. Together, we made a great plan. Our invitations were gorgeous and unique. They also helped us with a multitude of unique wedding goodies. Presentation and Professionalism A++! DBY set the tone from the beginning to end as nothing but perfect. Perfection is what we received! Highly recommend!!!

    Our wedding was at the Chicago Cultural Center in Feb 2018, and it was absolutely amazing thanks to Kasey and her team! With 15+ years of experience in this industry, she knows everyone and everything in the entire greater Chicagoland area. Not only is she quite literally a wealth of knowledge, but her negotiating power is much stronger than yours can ever be as a new bride. She leverages her knowledge and relationships wholeheartedly for you. She is hardworking and loves what she does, which really shows in how much effort she puts into everything she touches. Her fee paid itself (and then some) in what she saved us from other vendors.

    No doubt Kasey is worth it alone from the financial aspect and an asset during the planning process, but come the day-of, her talents truly shine! All the months of planning hinge on ONE day, so there is a lot of pressure to execute and here she just thrives! I was able to enjoy literally every minute of our wedding day - my mom and I didn't have to do anything! Kasey ran the entire behind-the-scenes show. She also made sure that our vision that we had worked on for months was executed exactly as planned by the other vendors involved. She really made our vision come to life in a way that I will forever be grateful for. A wedding day is a big investment and I cannot imagine who else I could possibly trust to do this (again, I am a type A person so it was difficult to hand over the reigns). I am eternally grateful for all of your hard work on our behalf Kasey, I cannot thank you enough!

    I cannot say enough good things about Kasey and DBY Invitations. From the day I met her at the Bridal Expo, I knew I had a good feeling about Kasey. She is warm and outgoing, and is well versed in all things wedding related. I originally met with Kasey for my wedding invitation stationery, but quickly realized what an asset she would be to my “wedding team.” Kasey not only handled all of our stationery needs, but my mother and I decided that we wanted to hire Kasey as my day-of wedding coordinator. Well let me tell you - that was the BEST decision we made when it came to wedding planning. We received so much more than just day-of coordinating! Kasey alleviated SO much stress for us throughout the planning process and on the day of the wedding, we were as calm as could be!! I am a person that likes to be in control, and wedding planning was no different. I had a specific vision for my wedding, but was easy going when it came to the small details. Kasey understood my vision and ran with it. She not only aided with my ideas, she had fantastic ideas of her own! Every single detail was thoughtfully planned, and it showed on my wedding day. I do not “hand over the reigns” very easily when it comes to planning, but with Kasey, it was different. I knew I was in good hands and that Kasey’s assertive personality would be fighting for the best for us every step of the way.
    I could go on for hours about Kasey and her team, but instead I will let you check them out for yourself. I promise you it will be the best decision you can make for yourself when it comes to wedding planning. I not only was able to have a stress-free wedding, but I left with a friend in Kasey. I will be returning to Kasey and DBY Invitations for any and all stationery needs in the future - I cannot wait to enlist her help in my future party planning! Kasey, we cannot thank you enough, and we love you to pieces!!

    ROCKSTAR Coordinator and Paper Good!

    Kasey is a ROCKSTAR!! She handled all of our paper goods and wedding coordination. The paper goods were completely customized and done beautifully!! I received so many compliments on them, and they definitely set the tone for our wedding day! She was also the BEST wedding coordinator I could have asked for! She met with us several times to understand and discuss the details of our wedding to ensure she was in the loop and understood our vision. And, she ensured our vision was realized the day of! She was on top of ALL of it!! She helped the day go smoothly from start to finish. AND, we could not have predicted that our hotel would be overbooked to the point where some of our guests (and bridal party!) didn't have a hotel room... and while this was a bummer, she took the stress away by taking complete control of the situation and coordinating getting everyone affected a room at a hotel down the street. In addition, she was attentive to my husband and I, as well as our bridal party, during the reception to ensure we were taken care of with drinks and food! I could go on and on about all of the things Kasey did for us before and on our wedding day. I truly can't say enough good things about her. And, if you are questioning whether you should have a coordinator or not, trust me, you should! This is the one day you spend so much time and money on, that you want it to be perfect. So you definitely want Kasey! If nothing else, at least visit her to see samples of her paper goods - they are one of a kind, like her! I totally recommend Kasey and DBY!!

    Kasey made our wedding day AMAZING! The invitations really set the event off. The invitations were so beautiful and classy! We had several people frame our invites for gifts and made other unique gifts with them including our unity candle. She also made menus,welcome letters, programs, stickers and some really awesome murals for our Chicago themed wedding. She really did amazing things to make our day beautiful. She was always there to answer other questions about our big day. When planning your big day or any event, make your first stop at DBY Events & Invitations! Kasey is simply the BEST!

    I chose Kasey Larson and DBY Invitations to design and print our invitations, and I am so happy that I did! I found Kasey and DBY at a local Bridal Show not long after we got engaged, and I fell in love with her designs right away. We hired Kasey and DBY to do our Save the Dates, our Invitations, our programs, our escort cards and two items for our welcome bags (we had a destination wedding). I wanted to have a cohesive and elegant look and feel for the printed matter for our wedding, but I didn’t want anything cookie cutter or just like everyone else’s. Kasey WOWED me. She took my color scheme and helped me choose papers, and she guided me to a design style that fit my budget and then she went to work, customizing the individual pieces and making them unique, special and beautiful. Kasey asked the right questions, and got right to the heart of what I wanted and gave it to me, perfectly! Every single piece she designed was beautiful and special to our destination and to us. The whole suite of completed items look beautiful together, and definitely achieved my goal of a cohesive and classy overall look of the wedding. The invitations are the centerpiece of the collection, and they are truly a work of art. Kasey was able to take some stained glass images from pictures I’d taken at our venue and used them in the invitations in an unexpected and beautiful way. They turned out so personal and so gorgeous; I have gotten so many compliments on them! Kasey was very easy to work with, and when I wanted changes, she immediately understood what I wanted and made the changes very quickly so my timeline would stay on track. DBY Invitations does extremely high quality, hand crafted work. They really work to understand your vision and to make sure you achieve it. For the quality, custom designed finished work we received; I felt that the value provided by DBY Invitations and Kasey Larson was OUTSTANDING.

    Kasey,

    I wanted to make sure to reach out to you and thank you for the wonderful job you have done with all of our wedding stationary. Working with you and your team has been a pleasure and the final results were just stunning. The wedding invitations were so beautiful and I cannot thank you enough for holding them away from me till the right time as I wanted to send them right away.

    As we are now sending our thank you cards to our guests, I am thankful again for reaching out to your company. Please feel free to use us as your recommendation for your future customers.


    With the warmest regards

    My wedding save-the-dates, invitations, menus, programs, placecard settings, and thank-you cards could not have been more beautiful. They were able to capture exactly what I had pictured. They responded to my questions promptly and thoroughly. I would use DBY again for any fancy event!

    Wow I just read all the bad reviews and I must say my experience was different. I did have a couple of last minute problems however Kasey solve the problem right away and the result was beautiful. Kasey replied to every e-mail very fast even when she was out of town. The quality of the invitations and designs are wonderful, you can definitely tell the difference between working with her and just printed with an online company. She did everything for the shower and the wedding and I can tell you I'm a happy customer and I will recommend them. I think a good vendors is not the one that do everything the way you want but the one that helps you create something even more beautiful.

    I have to admit that this review has been a long time coming...

    I first met Kasey three years ago, the week before one of my gal pal's weddings-- I found out the week before Megz's wedding that she planned to do Kinko's copied programs. I couldn't bear to have this happen! I contacted Kasey and (the week BEFORE my friend's wedding!) we designed the inserts for Megz's programs. Kasey rush special-ordered ivory shimmer paper to match Megz's gown and coordinated the ink to match her bridesmaids' dresses. We did a monogram at the top (and positioned it to display in the pocket notch for the pockets I was putting together). Megz was thrilled with her programs!

    Because of the service I was given by Kasey and her mom, I knew exactly who I wanted to use for my papergoods when it came time for MY wedding!

    I had a quirky idea for save-the-dates, and Kasey executed it flawlessly. Since I'm picky, it took a couple of drafts, which Kasey was happy to do until she knew I felt completely satisfied. In the end, I wound up with s-t-d’s that required the use of a red-lens decoder (think old-school cereal box decoders!) to decipher the hidden message-- which was that our wedding was on the horizon! Exactly what I wanted!!

    THEN it was time for invites... Kasey designed complex insert cards with a repeating motif that continued when each of three insert cards overlaid one another. Her patience as I picked out colors was awesome-- and her expertise on how much is too much was invaluable. I was excited to receive tons of tiny lime green envelopes in the mail as guests replied to our invitations. My wedding is now 1.5 years in the past, and to this day, I still receive compliments.

    The quality of DBY's work and Kasey's expertise and suggestions are outstanding. She is my go-to paper-guru. I cannot recommend her work enough if you are anywhere near as pick a bride as I was!

    OMG, my invitations were GORGEOUS!!!! The quality of them was perfect and they were the perfect "first impression" of the concept and feeling of our wedding. Kasey did a wonderful job and I would recommend her beautiful work to everyone.

    [one of my guests was invited to over 10 weddings this year and immediately called me upon receiving my invitation just to ask where I got them done and to tell me that they were BY FAR the most gorgeous invitations that she's ever seen!]

    First of all Kasey was so awesome to work with. She took our ideas for our wedding invitations and made them reality. Our invitations were absolutley beautiful. We got so many compliments on our invations. She also helped us with favor boxes that look like chivari chairs and doubled as placecard holders. They were done in the same paper as our wedding invites so everything color coordinates. Plus you can't beat the price. I paid the same amount for custom designed invitations where I got to choose every detail that other brides paid for cheap looking cardboard invites out of a book. I highly recommend them!.

    There is one word that comes to mind - EXCEPTIONAL!!! I was overwhelmed by looking at so many types of invitation and colors that I didn't even know where to begin.

    Kasey's patience and vision brought together a beautiful piece of work. We received many compliments on our invitatioins from the color to - "I've never seen anything like this" both from family and friends, as well as recent brides. I highly recommend Kasey for all invites. We'll be coming back for other invitation events.

    We loved the work Kasey did for our daughter's wedding. She coordinated the invitations with the menus, place cards and table numbers so that all was seamless. Her design complimented the theme of the wedding venue. Her advice was instrumental in pulling everything together.

    They are very accommodating and very helpful, especially when you have no idea what you want to do with your invitations. They base your invitations off you needs as well as your pinterest boards you've been drooling over and they make it happen. They have so many different options available as well like favors, guest registries and much more available. They are very personable and they do everything in person. They're just great quality. They did our invitations, place cards and addresses and it's definitely worth the price.

    Everything that we ordered from DBY was perfect. We got the invitations, menus, table cards and wedding programs all to match and they were stunning. Kasey had great ideas but was never forceful with them. She let you use your imagination and fun with the entire process. The outcome was so worth it. We received so many compliments on our invitations as they were unique and it was obvious that they were custom made and not just "store bought". Would go there again in a heart beat. Everything was more than I could have imagined. I especially loved the outside mailing envelopes as they said "please deliver to" Kasey laughed because when I saw that it actually made me cry. I guess because it was something I had never seen on any invitation I have ever received. How special!!! Go there you will not be sorry

    If you want completely custom and unique invitations, Kasey can do it for you! Just give her some inspiration and the options are seemingly endless!

    We had so many compliments on our invitations because they were unique, and truly a reflection of our style and interest. Our invitations, place cards, table numbers, menus and programs all tied our theme together, and we were quite pleased with the results. If you are wanting to do something very unique, please make sure you can invest the time and energy into helping Kasey create the design that you want. The more information you can give her to help her create your design - the better!

    The cost of everything was more than we had budgeted for, but we got a wonderful design that was exactly what we wanted - something we could not get from catalog ordering (although you can do that with Kasey too!) She is a wonderful creative and you are paying for the expertise she can provide. If you want something unique and different to set your wedding and reception apart from all of the rest - this is the place to go!

    We came here for our wedding invitations, ceremony programs, reception menu cards, and reception placecards. We worked with Kasey who was very easy to work with and created some beautiful work for us. Everyone remarked how beautiful, unique, and dramatic our wedding invitations were (ours were printed on a beautiful cream colored paper and had a small crystal). We did our research and ended up spending the same amount of money than if we had ordered through a wedding invitation book or online. At designed by you, you truly get to design your own invitations from the design to the paper type to the colors etc. I reccommend thinking about what unique look you would want for your wedding invitations and then checking this place out. My only caveat is that Kasey seemed kinda rushed at times when we met with her and I did have to carefully review all the drafts of things she sent me for errors. Nevertheless, these issues were minor and I do not hesitate in reccommending this place. They do quality work here and really work hard to create the customized look you envision.

    We met with 2 other wedding planners before deciding to work with Kasey and the team at DBY events & invitations. We chose to work with Kasey as she was very knowledgeable about venues and vendors, latest trends, and had worked with clients with varying styles and budgets. She asked questions and thought of details that had not even crossed my mind. Most importantly I felt completely confident that Kasey would handle everything on my wedding day and if anything came up, she and her team would do what needed to be done. Thanks to them our wedding day was stress free, I got to just focus on being a bride and in the moment. We had a perfect day! DBY events & invitations has now done my wedding and the weddings of 2 other friends. All of us have great experiences!

    Kasey and DBY did all of our paper goods for our wedding this month. We couldn't have been happier with the way our invitations, programs, menus, and escort cards turned out. All of them were absolutely spectacular!
    Kasey is a busy lady, and she does have a big personality. However, she is EXTREMELY nice, well-meaning, and engaged with her clients. I felt she spent far more time getting to know us and and the wedding we were planning than most of our other vendors. The company has gone through several staffing changes since we booked them, and although this did lead to some minor miscommunications, I felt that Kasey handled them extremely professionally. I never waited more than 12 hours for a return phone call from her, and I never felt like I had to remind her who I was. Kasey does have her own ideas, but that's part of what you're paying for. She is happy to change anything about her designs to meet her clients' needs.
    I can't tell you how many compliments we received on the design and craftsmanship. The colors were perfect, and Kasey was happy to help incorporate the logo a friend of ours designed for us as a wedding gift. I felt like she really had a great understanding of what we were looking for, and she did her best to make our half-formed ideas come to life. When I was disappointed with how a sample invitation looked after it went through the mail, Kasey came up with a cost-effective solution that solved the problem, and I think actually added to the overall look and feel of the invitations.
    When I went to pick everything up the Wednesday before our wedding, I discovered that we had told her two different colors for one of the escort card categories. Kasey had actually printed this category of cards TWICE, at her expense, once on the color we had picked out previously, and once on the color I had given her. I was astounded that a vendor would go to such lengths to keep her bride happy!
    We couldn't have been happier with our experience.
