Quality invitations and professionalism

Lesli-Ann did a fabulous job on our wedding invitations. She took the time to work with me and my husband on the type of invitation that was specific to our needs. She was very reasonable in price.

The Best || Look No Further

Working w/ Lesli-Ann to design our invitations and escort cards was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. She is creative, easy to work with, timely in her communication, can get a "feel," for what you are looking for, even if you cannot succinctly articulate that which you are after. A little example of the old-fashioned service Lesli-Ann provided:
- Driving to the Cape to individually pick starfish for our wedding invitation.
- Soaking Them in Baking Soda and spraying them with perfume to ensure there is no aroma when the invitation was opened.
Last Few Words of Advice:
(A) Brides: This is the groom - writing the review --> that shows you how impressed we were w/ Lesli-Ann's work (How Many Grooms would take the time to write a review.)
(B) Grooms: Stay Out of It. Your fiance w/ Lesli-Ann's direction will design an invitation that will have everyone talking.

Lesli has made the wedding paper product process amazing! Her work is incredible and there is no denying her talent! After an initial meeting she was able to mock up exactly what I was looking for from save the dates, invitations, and programs, to day of signs! She is so easy to contact, always available, and has so much to offer. Even when I was not quite sure what I was looking for, she had tons of options to show me and ideas to offer. Working with her has been the easiest part of this process! We have no doubt we will use Lesli for all of our future paper product needs & we highly recommend her for anyone who is looking to have the best of the best involved in their wedding planning!

Lesli at Little Birdie is a creative genius! I stumbled on Little Birdie on WeddingWire when I was starting to research Save the Dates.
Lesli is very meticulous with her work and it shows! Everything comes out perfect! Once you have a meeting with her to discuss design, she creates a draft which you and her discuss until you have it just right, then off she goes! The end result, in the case of our Save the Dates and Invitations, was phenomenal! We did a magnet for our Save the Date and our invitations fit right in with our travel wedding theme - they were passports! These invitation passports looked so very similar to an actual passport, it was amazing! We got SO many compliments on them as our guests started receiving them!
Lesli is very professional, pleasant and has a ton of ideas so she'll know which way to guide you. Her studio is close to her home and it is the cutest little studio with the best atmosphere.
I was so impressed with the overall experience that I had with her having done my Save the Dates and Invitations that I'm also working with her on my wedding Thank You's. And, if anything comes up in the future, where I need custom invitations of any sort, you bet I'll be contacting Lesli to see if she can help me out! A happy, repeat customer for sure!

It was such a pleasure working Lesli-Ann for our wedding invitations and stationery suite (programs, table numbers, thank you notes, etc.) She was super professional, extremely helpful, receptive of our vision, and very communicative during the process. The quality of her product and designs are truly top notch and probably the best I have seen in the area. The care and thought she puts into every custom design is unmatched, in my opinion. We received so many positive comments about her work from our friends and family, most notably "these invitations are the most beautiful wedding invitations I have ever seen in my life." Her flexibility with price and design was greatly appreciated as well (this something other designers can't and/or won't always do). My husband and I were able to stay within our budget and did not have to sacrifice our vision and what was important to us. We thoroughly enjoyed every one of our design sessions with Lesli-Ann and I can't wait until I have an event where I can use her services again! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for invitations/stationery for a wedding or event.

Leslie was hands-down my favorite wedding vendor! She sat with me for HOURS as we designed, and then re-designed my invitations, response cards, menu cards, etc. She was so incredibly patient with me and I never felt rushed. Her prices were incredibly reasonable for the high-quality, custom-designed products she delivered. I LOVED how she packaged everything, too - it was always with eco-friendly supplies and each shipment box came directions on how to assemble items, etc. I can't wait to have a baby so I can use her design company again!!

My husband and I chose Leslie-Ann, the owner and creative director of Little Birdie Papercraft to design and print all of the beautiful invitations, for our 50th Wedding Anniversary Party in October, 2016 and we couldn't have been happier with the results! Leslie-Ann was fun to work with, very accommodating and had so many wonderful and creative ideas. On top of all that, everything was completed on a very timely basis. We highly recommend Little Birdie!!!

I came to Little Birdie after doing some research on wedding invitations and day of paper essentials. And I am so glad that I did! Honestly, I thought I could do it all myself or get what I wanted from an online service, but I quickly got overwhelmed with all the details. Also, I wanted something one of a kind. As a papercrafter myself, I could really appreciate the enthusiasm, honesty and direction from Lesli-Ann. She was there every step of the way guiding, giving suggestions and patiently reining me in (with all my crazy ideas haha). She will talk to you about paper and design for hours, and that’s something that I could not get from an online service, as online services tend to have a cookie cutter model and get mass-produced. This was my favorite part of wedding planning and it took a lot of pressure off of me because Lesli-Ann was organized and focused, so that I could work on other elements of my wedding. She makes gorgeous invitations and I have received so many compliments on them as well as day of menus, paddle programs, and welcome bag attachments. I got a customized service and one of a kind invitation. I can’t praise her enough for all she did to make my wedding day complete!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Little Birdie is AWESOME! Lesli Ann came highly recommended by our wedding planner {Infinite Events} so we decided to schedule a meeting. We liked that she was super organized, easy to communicate with, fun and very creative. Within the first 5 minutes of meeting with her, my fiance and I knew we had to hire her for our stationary. She took an idea that we had for Save The Dates (35mm film reels) and was able to turn our idea into reality. Our wedding guests LOVED them and it was "so us" {we are wedding photographers}! For invitations, we went more formal for our back tie reception. Lesli Ann was very helpful in recommending paper types, font, colors, and was mindful on sizes for shipping. Our wedding invitations really set the tone for our wedding. We also had her design favor cards for a donation which came out great too. I highly recommend Little Birdie for your stationary design needs!
