When you need the Expert!!

Melinda came recommended by my daughters wedding venue, Heritage Club. She had an invite in mind and Melinda made it come to life....and quickly! The details - From the wedding venue sketch on the inner envelope, to the colors and fonts, to the little bow added- the invite was simple yet elegant. The instructions for the guest list addresses was also simple to use and had so many great suggestions on how to address.
Melinda also explained timeline etiquette and explained that the invites should be out within a few weeks. She had the invites done within days! We so appreciate all of your time and expertise to create such a beautiful invite.

A Real Professional

Melinda worked with our family to produce a truly dazzling invitation suite. She was able to realize my daughter’s vision and we are so pleased. She has lots of samples to show of the various elements of the suite as well as papers, fonts, etc. Melinda is very creative and made suggestions that were right on point for the theme my daughter wanted. Melinda’s work is top notch, and she kept to the deadlines of the project. We are going to have her work with us to create the “day of” elements that will coordinate with the invitations. I highly recommend Melinda. She has a lot of experience in the business, and it shows. She is a pleasure to work with and is responsive to any concerns you may have.
