About

Anticipate Invitations is a family-owned, custom stationery design studio that crafts sophisticated designs with a modern and fresh twist. Owner and designer, Michael Musser, works with each couple individually from beginning to end to ensure unparalleled service and a truly personal design experience.

Our design style stems from varied interests in areas such as typography, interior design and textile patterns. We are especially fond of working with, and printing on, unexpected materials like wood, acrylic, or fabric and incorporating artisanal and hand-applied details. Creating unusual formats such as poster-sized, 3D or boxed invitations is also why Anticipate delivers paper perfection.

Give Michael a ring to create something that will last long after your celebration has ended and visit our new online boutique with offerings like Limited Edition invitation suites and curated vintage postage sets.

Incredible Work for Our Wedding

Anticipate Invitations was the absolute best to work with. I will never get over how beautiful their work is! Our wedding invitations were absolutely stunning! Every piece they produce is incredible and unique. From save the dates to wedding day signage, they design and create such amazing custom and quality pieces. Their attention to detail is impeccable. I could not be happier with how everything looked. I would absolutely recommend working with Anticipate Invitations to everyone I know!

Perfect Wedding Invitations & Day-Of Stationary

I worked with Michael to create the most beautiful and meaningful wedding invitations and day of stationary. I selected him because his work was stunning and he was highly recommended by my wedding planner. As we were working together, I truly appreciated all of the suggestions he made to enhance my printed items while keeping cost in mind. I fell in love with the vintage stamps we chose and the beautiful watercolor map and crest he created. Not only was every piece of art he produced special to me, but we received so many compliments on our invitations, programs, and more. I would recommend him to any bride (from anywhere in the US) and certainly use him for any other major event. Thank you Michael!!

Hands down the BEST!!

Michael's work is absolutely stunning. His communication was clear and consistent, and he offered great advice on layout and timeline. I worked with him for nearly a year as COVID got in the way of our wedding date a few times. He stayed in touch and was patient through the entire process. I also changed my entire vision for the invitations and he got it, and executed it perfectly. I could not be happier with the end product. Would 100000% recommend him and use him again.

Delivering Highly Authentic and Quality Custom Invites

Michael is truly the best to work with for your invitation needs! We sought him out when we were looking to make our third round (and final round) of wedding invitations (#COVIDsucks). We wanted something refined, but cheeky, and reflected our personality. This felt weird to request because we weren't sure any custom invitation artist would get our vision... but Michael got it, ran with it, and EXCEEDED our expectations. His communication was clear and consistent throughout the entire process. The end result blew us out of the water and ultimately these invites are by far our favorite. From the design to the end product everything was 10/10. We know our guests when they open these invites will be in awe! If you want authentic invitations that are beautiful and an artist who can truly capture what you are looking for, Michael without a doubt is your guy.

Beautiful Wedding Stationary!

Michael is a true artist - he absolutely loves what he does and made our vision come true for our wedding stationary! Michael created our wedding save the dates, invitation suite, programs, menus, table cards and day-of signage and it was all so beautiful! We received so many compliments on our wedding invitations and the best part of them was his painting of our venue on the front of our invitations. It's a work of art that I will treasure forever! I sent Michael countless emails on design ideas and he was so patient and flexible making sure that we were happy with the designs and it always looked perfect. Making customized wedding stationary was a splurge item we felt was absolutely worth it and Michael created beautiful pieces for us that we will remember forever! Photos: Lori Paladino Photography

Exceed my Expectations

I have never been so impressed with a vendor – EVER. Michael’s work is absolutely beautiful. I have no doubt that he will create something unique and breathtaking for each couple he works with. I believe that you can see that on his website and I’m sure that each of his clients can attest to that. When I first engaged with Anticipate, I told Michael that I needed the invitations in a short period of time. He provided me with a timeframe which I was comfortable with and hit every single deadline. I received my invitations ahead of schedule which I love and I can’t be happier with the outcome. Invitations are one component of your wedding but such an important part because it sets the tone for your wedding to come. I am so fortunately to have worked with someone that gave me such a flawless experience and someone that I completely trusted with my invitations. I just wished that there were more companies that has the work ethic and execution that Anticipate Invitations has.

Beautiful!

Designing invitations was one of my favorite parts of the planning process and working with Michael further enhanced the experience! Michael took my thoughts and translated them into something incredible and well beyond what I imagined! Michael commented thoroughly and was always so quick to respond. I would absolutely recommend Anticipate and I cannot wait to find another reason for beautiful custom invitations!

So happy with the results & experience!

We had an amazing experience working with Michael of Anticipate Invitations. I was nervous to work with someone that was across the country (we are in NYC) but the experience couldn't have gone smoother, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results. We continue to get messages from family and friends about how much they love our invitation suite. Michael was extremely responsive and offered his expertise and advise as needed, but still allowed us to have our own creative control and feedback throughout the process to make sure our personalities and feel of our wedding were woven through the invitation suite. The process was so smooth and I couldn't have asked for a better experience!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Michael & I have never worked together, however I met him at a Bridal Showcase and his work is impeccable. It is like nothing I have ever seen, unique, stylized, and contemporary. If you want people to get excited about your wedding from Day 1, send them an invitation from Anticipate.
