Lots of options at Lion in the Sun

We worked with Jaye on Save the Dates, Invitations and Thank You notes. She was very easy to work with. Lots of good suggestions were given to make sure our invitations popped. We especially appreciated when she told us the printer recommended a different color paper after the first invitation was printed since it looked different from proof PDF. Thanks Jaye and Lion in the Sun!

Brilliant team

After speaking with numerous vendors for our wedding invitations, we could tell from the first consultation that the team at Lion in the Sun had a good grasp on our style and had the resources and professionalism to produce outstanding work. They made the the entire process a breeze and were very responsive at all times. The entire team is passionate, friendly and will work with you to bring your ideas and style to the paper. After a great experience with our invites, we went back to Lion in the Sun to create our escort cards, menu cards and wedding program. We'd definitely go back to them for more projects - so happy their storefront is close to us too.

This is the dream team! The entire process from start to finish was a joy—we were sad when it was over! We worked with Jaye who navigated the fine line of guiding us to something that would look incredible but was also our vision. My father drew artwork for our invitation suite and she made him feel comfortable and gave us the confidence to move forward with our idea. Everyone on the team is wonderful to work with and you can always reach them. It was truly a pleasure and trust me when I say, you will not regret working with this group of talented professionals.

My husband I worked with Laurel at Lion in the Sun for our invitation suite, wedding day paper [menus, programs etc] and calligraphy. The entire process was seamless and the end product was absolutely stunning. Laurel was incredibly patient as we walked through every detail and gave great insight and advice. She also did the calligraphy for our invitations, place cards and table numbers. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. She is soooo talented.

Lion in the Sun also has the BEST selection of invitations as well. Something for everyone. I would highly recommend if you want great consulting, service and beautiful paper goods for your day.

Lion in the Sun is the best!!! They did all of the paper for my wedding (Save the Date, invitation, escort and thank you cards) and rocked it all. Everything was beautiful and classy, but somehow not cookie cutter. I received countless compliments on it all.

Picking your Save the Dates and invitations can be particularly overwhelming (or at least it was for me) and the wonderful team at Lion guided me through it seamlessly. I worked with several of the staff there and each and every person was warm, understanding, and incredibly knowledgeable about all of the options out there.

Cannot recommend them highly enough!

We LOVED our invitations! They helped us make the invitations personal, and they came out beautiful. We told them a design and some colors, and they took care of the wording and we got so many compliments about how elegant and nice they looked. We are so glad we found this gem!

Lion in the Sun was a pleasure to work with. Laurel helped us translate our stationery vision into reality, with a very positive and artful hand, and kept in close touch throughout the process. She and the whole team were also refreshingly honest, not trying to upsell us — which makes a big difference, when planning a wedding. Highly recommended this charming Brooklyn business.

Lion in the Sun designed our save the dates, invitations, and day-of paper (programs, menus, escort/place/table cards), and we had the BEST experience throughout. They have dozens of books of different invitation suites and designers to choose from, from Vera Wang to small, independent companies. We worked with Laurel, who was just a dream: knowledgeable about all things paper- and wedding-related (so, the merits of engraving vs. letterpress but also invitation-related etiquette and convention), not at all pushy, great sense of style. We visited the shop several times for design meetings, but also did a lot of editing and proofing over email, which was seamless, easy, and fast. We were happy to support this local business, but even happier with the stellar final product. (For comparison, we did our rehearsal dinner invitations on the Knot -- they were fine, but the difference in quality between that and the Lion in the Sun items was wild.) We can't wait to visit again for all things paper!

Mel and her team were amazing to work with! After a very thorough initial consultation, Mel immediately got our concept and her designer, Ella, translated our vision into a gorgeous custom Save the Date, which set the tone for our entire wedding suite. Our guests were blown away when they got our invites in the mail. Mel was very accommodating and went out of her way to explain all options to meet our budget, help us with etiquette questions, and find the right balance between traditional and whimsical. We will be Lion in the Sun clients for life!

We used Lion in the Sun for custom wedding invite suite for our wedding in October 2016. Melinda is absolutely the most knowlegable and passionate stationer we came across in the process! This was such a fun process thanks to this A+ team with incredible professionalism, knowledge, experience, and awesome product. Our consultation and consecutive meetings to pick out font, review custom artwork, etc were such delights. I had lofty dreams and specific interests when it came to our wedding invites. Melinda helped us to design exactly what I wanted, and with incredible value! Prior to stumbling upon LITS, we had consulted with high end stationary chains that offered us much less flexibility (essentially 0 flexibility) at high ticket prices. PLEASE realize that you need not be confined by the restraints of typical invitation shops! 'Custom invites' are not stock invites with your individual event information plugged in. Custom invites are what Lion in the Sun can help you bring to life.
I passionately recommend that you visit LITS storefront and work with them to make your wedding invitation dreams come true!! In the mean time, check out their awesome instagram @lioninthesunPS to see some of their beautiful invitation work and fun store front retail merchandise!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Lion In the Sun is a rare find. Most everyone begins selecting a wedding invitation with at least an initial idea of what they want. At the very least, you already know your wedding venue which will speak to your design. However, selecting an invitation, just like selecting a venue, is a process. There are so many choices and price points. Lion In the Sun carries all of the best designers and then some. They also have in house designers, as well as, their own invitation line, Post Script Brooklyn. With many designers on hand and in house designers, you cannot go wrong. All of the staff is educated and patient. I recommend them highly.
