Amazing to work with!

Working with Lourdes at Cardsmith Design was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Our invitations and day of stationary turned out beautifully- we are still getting compliments! More than anything Lourdes made the process easy and kept us on track to have everything ready by our wedding day. Thank you!

Fabulous beautiful pieces & experience!

Working with Lourdes was wonderful from start to finish. She is so talented, has wonderful high quality products, and really collaborates with you to achieve the vision you set forward. Lourdes was really easy to communicate with and went above and beyond in helping me articulate what I wanted in my custom invitation set. Her prices are fair and transparent. So many people commented on the beauty of her work. The experience of working with her was also incredibly fun. She helped me remember that this experience is something to enjoy and be celebrated. I couldn't believe how great she was at bringing my ideas to life. We will cherish the save the dates and invitations forever!

Creative, Flexible, and Thoughtful

Lourdes was incredible to work with for all of our wedding stationary, from our custom invitation suite to our day of needs which included calligraphy for place cards and table numbers to our thank you cards. She created an overall theme that carried throughout and worked with us on every single design idea that would pop into my head. I often had a vision for how I wanted specific things to look or be, and she always took the time to listen to me and my husband and created final products that we fell in love with. We had an amazing time working with her, and highly recommend her service for all stationary needs and wedding day of needs! She even did our rehearsal dinner drink menus, food menus, and the schedules for our welcome bags.

Amazing experience and beautiful designs!

At a month out from our wedding when our Plan A for wedding signage, escort cards, and day of stationary fell through, our planner recommended we reach out to Cardsmith Design Studio. Lourdes did not only come to our rescue, but her designs nailed the vibe of our wedding and turned out even better than we imagined. Her promptness in communication and production were such a relief, and her client portal, contract, and payment systems were among the most professional, clear, and user friendly we've seen from a wedding vendor. And when I say she was fast, I mean it was about 3.5 weeks between contract signing and having our order arrive at our house! Her prices were also extremely reasonable for the quality she provides. I strongly recommend her to anyone looking for event stationary!

Custom Invitation Success!

We worked with Lourdes at Cardsmith for our September 2021 wedding and can not recommend her services enough!

My fiancé and I were hoping for something a little bit more personalized than Zola etc. but I was very overwhelmed by the options and costs I found elsewhere. I even tried my hand at creating them myself and the results were…not pretty.

I was connected to Lourdes at Cardsmith Design Studio and it was probably my best decision in the whole wedding planning process!
I’m certainly not a creative person and sent Lourdes 3 pictures from Google images of our venue and she put together the most amazing invitation suite perfectly capturing the vibes we were hoping for. She is so talented and was a dream to work with - fielding too many of my address etiquette questions and catching my grammar mistakes 😉 not to mention the price was very affordable.
We received so many compliments from friends and family talking about how beautiful and unique our invitations were.
So for anyone feeling lost and overwhelmed in the process, I definitely recommend setting up time to work with Lourdes!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
