About

At The Paper Lab, wedding stationery is designed to do more than share details. It sets the tone for your entire celebration. Based in Lancaster, PA and serving couples nationwide, I create custom wedding paper goods for couples who value intentional design and meaningful first impressions.

Each project is approached with a thoughtful, editorial eye. From custom invitations to day-of paper details, every piece is designed to feel cohesive, personal, and elevated, reflecting not only your style but the experience you want your guests to have. Typography, layout, and materials are carefully considered so your stationery feels just as beautiful in hand as it does in photographs.

Founded by Jess Semanek, The Paper Lab grew from a love of design and print that began with her own wedding. Today, that passion translates into a collaborative, detail-driven process focused on clarity, creativity, and timeless design. Couples are guided through each step with care and expertise, ensuring the final result feels polished, intentional, and unmistakably theirs.

If you’re looking for wedding stationery that feels curated rather than cookie-cutter, The Paper Lab offers a design-forward approach rooted in storytelling, style, and thoughtful details.

Incredible

LOOK NO FURTHER! Jess is the most thoughtful and creative vendor I've ever worked with. She will truly seek to understand your vision and ensure that it comes to life. She is extremely patient and open to feedback and will do everything in her power to make sure you are 100% satisfied with the end result. She is both a creative and a consultant and offered ideas that I would've never even thought of. 1000/10 recommend!

Destination Wedding Perfection

Working with Jess was the least stressful part of wedding planning. From our Save the Dates, to our co-ed wedding shower, invites, itineraries, personal logos and thank you's, Jess brought our personalities out in every detail. Not only did she bring a customized vision to life, she also was so easy to communicate with.

The paper lab is everything

The paper lab will always be my go to! Jess brings any idea to life. She is so easy to work with and blew my expectations out of the water with all of my wedding paper. I’ll definitely be using the paper lab for everything. Pics of perfection attached.

Highly Recommend!

I highly recommend the Paper Lab Co! Jessica did the invitations for our wedding and I could not be more happy with how they turned out! She is super responsive throughout the process and helped me through all of the wording and design of my invitations while bringing my vision of an elegant, timeless invitation suite to life. She even worked with us to create 2 different RSVP cards to accommodate all of our guests. Her prices are super reasonable for the time and personalization that she puts into her work!

Wedding Paper Designs like no other!

If you're looking for crisp, clean, and original wedding paper materials for your wedding (or any event for that matter!) look no further than Jess at The Paper Lab. We were recommended to her from our florist and she was everything we needed to help us nail the details for our paper needs for our wedding. I had her customize Thank You's for my bachelorette party and bridal shower, as well as design our rehearsal and wedding invitations. Jess brought our vision to life and worked with us on all our little asks and details without batting an eye. Working with Jess was a pleasure. She's quick, honest and exceptionally talented in her field. She prioritizes her customer's preferences/desires but always adds in her expertise to make sure everything is perfect!! Still swooning over the originality of everything she put together for us.

I can't wait to see what she creates for us for our Thank You's and future paper needs. ❤️

If you don’t have a Jess… YOU BETTER GET ONE FAST!

If you don’t have a Jess… YOU BETTER GET ONE FAST! She was EVERYTHING my couple needed for their unique wedding at the Citizens Bank ballpark in Philadelphia. I’m Angel. I am a wedding planner and Jessica handled the paper products for my clients. My couple came in weeks before the wedding with a unique theme and color scheme and struggled with making decisions. Jessica was not only flexible and professional she was kind and patient. Not to mention she whipped up designs and worked in record timing! She was even quick to respond the NIGHT BEFORE the wedding to make a sign for the bride! I can’t say enough about how much of a pleasure it was to work with her. Her process was seamless and everything was ON TIME! I can’t thank her enough! I haven’t always been convinced that Amazon and vista print can’t do the job but working with Jessica showed me that Couples NEED A JESSICA! Thank you Paperlab!

Extremely professional! Very creative!

Jessica (the paper lab co.) is a true professional!!! My husband and I had a vision of exactly what we wanted and Jessica was able to custom make the invitation to perfection. She was able to customize the colors, shapes, fonts, envelope liner and more. Jess even went as far as finding a printer who could print a round shape QR code RSVP card to include with the invitation. We had Jessica make our invitation, menus and she even stuffed and mailed our invitations for us for a very reasonable charge. (There are so many “to-dos” during planning do yourself a favor and take one less thing off your plate!) She was very efficient, responded in a VERY timely manner and one of the most pleasant vendors to work with. I could not recommend Jessica more!!

The most delightful experience!

Working with Jess Semanek of The Paper Lab was a DREAM of an experience! From my wintery bridal shower invites to our modern hunter green arch-shaped wedding invitations — her designs truly informed the look and feel of both events. When I asked for a “Family Stone” inspired shower invite, she delivered that cozy, Christmas magic. When it came to our wedding invites, her collaboration and thoughtfulness resulted in a chic, modern, polished work of wedding art. Her attention to detail, communication, and style are unmatched. Look no further than The Paper Lab if you’re looking to make a statement at your next party/event!!

The Paper Lab

Jessica from the paper lab is one of a kind! Her creativity and ability to design a vision mostly through text and email is amazing! I would highly recommend her for any special event where pretty paper is a must! People still tell me how beautiful my bridal shower invitation and paper was!
