About

Celebrating 15 years in business!!

In 2017 we partnered with another local stationery store, Avant-Garde Impressions, to give our customers a wider selection of products, more appointment availability and top-notch customer service!

We carry hundreds of the most trendy and beautiful catalog invitations along with our own line of custom, handmade invitations and special occasion stationery. Our mission is to provide every client with beautiful, yet affordable paper goods that represent the overall aesthetic of their wedding or memorable occasion.

Experience

When I was planning my wedding almost two decades ago, I discovered the inventory for affordable invitations was limited. Shortly after, I began making paper goods for friends and family while working full-time. How Inviting! was born when I was on maternity leave, and has continued to grow and expand over the past ten years. In early 2017, I partnered with Avant-Garde Impressions and co-own a storefront and design studio in Worthington.

Services Offered

We provide clients with flexible, prompt, and high-quality services for all of their printed paper goods. Myself and my team of designers meet in-person with couples to create custom wedding stationary that is unique and reflective of their style. In addition to weddings, we design announcements and invitations for bridal showers, birthdays, and other important milestones. Services offered include the following:

  • Addressing
  • Assembly
  • Embossed
  • Engraving
  • Foil-Stamped

Amazing Small Busoness!

I have worked with Avant-Garde Impressions- specifically Jason and Cassidy many, many times over the years to procure high quality, custom wedding stationary for my clients.

In addition to being creative, responsive, kind, and generally just very talented at what they do… They deliver ON TIME, every time… and are extremely easy to work with. Avant-Garde is a company that still operates with the customer being a priority and makes it their mission to deliver that amazing service and value. You’ll never get that from an online printing company.

I highly recommend working with them for any printed needs but especially for your wedding day stationary!

Would recommend to anyone!

Their team was so incredible to work with. Jason and Cassie both helped make the daunting task of invites and day-of paper into such a manageable, fun one. I was able to come in with a general idea of what I wanted and we were able to fine tune it to something that we loved and was also within budget. Cassie was so helpful and responsiveness during the editing process and made the process seamless.

Your best bet for invitations in Columbus!

I cannot recommend Avant-Garde Impressions enough! We used them for our wedding invites, the night before event and for thank you notes (which all turned out amazing.) We received a lot of compliments on how everything turned out! Cassie and Jason are both very good at what they do and had some really great suggestions. Definitely consider Avant-Garde Impressions for your wedding or other special event!!

Wonderful Experience with Jason and Cassie at Avant-Garde Impressions

Absolutely thrilled with my experience working with Jason and Cassie at Avant-Garde Impressions! From the very beginning, they brought so much creativity, care, and professionalism to designing my wedding invitations and signage. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and the final products were even more beautiful than I imagined.
Jason and Cassie truly listened to my vision and made it come to life in a way that felt personal and unique. The invitations set the perfect tone for our wedding, and the signage added such a special touch to our big day. I received so many compliments from guests!
If you’re looking for talented, attentive designers who genuinely care about making your event memorable, I can’t recommend Avant-Garde Impressions enough. Thank you, Jason and Cassie, for making this part of my wedding planning so seamless and joyful!

My go to for weddings or events!

After using How Inviting/Avant-Garde for my sister's wedding 2 years earlier, I knew I had to use them for my own wedding! They have hundreds, if not thousands, of examples for you to look at from which to get inspiration. That is years and years of exceptional service and satisfied customers! While it can seem a bit overwhelming and intimidating trying to narrow your selection down, they do an excellent job of figuring out what you are looking for and tailoring the examples they show you to better suit your style. They think of everything! From wording, the coloring, fonts, paper, etc. You think of something, and they will either have an example to show you or will know exactly how to execute your vision. I recommend checking them out as they will be worth every penny and then some!

Aleia and Cassie were great to work with! They communicated well and were very patient with me while I figured out what style I wanted. They are very mindful of your budget and will do their best to bring your vision to life without breaking your wallet. I used them to create my wedding invitations, my ceremony programs, and my seating cards. They stayed on top of communication and were quick to alleviate the one hiccup we had while printing. They produce quality work and can turn around projects in a very timely manner. My only regret is not using them for my save the dates! You will not regret using them!

Incredible!

Avant Garde was a lifesaver for our wedding! When we exploring options for our signage/stationary, we were overwhelmed with the different styles, fonts, themes but worked to find how we could make it cohesive. Rather, our wedding planner suggested Avant Garde. Little can I say, all the worries & stress disappeared. Avant Garde created our stationary and signage just as we had imagined! The team was extremely fast, flexible, and incredible to work with. They even created Spanish wedding programs for us! We are so beyond thrilled with their work and lucky to have found them! Avant Garde is a MUST for wedding signage & stationary!
