Bespoke Experience!

Kat and her team are amazing to work! Kat helped us with our wedding invitations and day-of paper goods (e.g., welcome sign, menus, programs, name cards, guestbook). She was so knowledgable and carefully walked us through multiple options to arrive at the best one for our needs. What stood out most is the time and thought she gave us despite our event being a small 40-person wedding. Also, she literally works magic transforming the the text we provided her into her designs and formatting and editing it such that the final product is elegant and effortless. Her shop is also so well curated. Cannot recommend more!

Incredible Invitations

We hired Paper Mint Press for our wedding invitations and it was one of the best wedding decisions we made. From Day 1, Kat was incredible to work with - professional & communicative, and very helpful in walking us through all of our options based on our style preference/budget/etc. Our invitations turned out so beautifully we ended up hiring Kat to do the rest of our day of paper good (Ceremony Programs, Menu, Escort Cards, Seating Chart, etc.). We received so many compliments from guests on how beautiful everything looked. Could not recommend Kat & Paper Mint Press enough!

A true love for paper

Kat, the owner of Papermint press is incredible. She helped make custom notes for my bridesmaids in the color theme. Helped design our paper suite and took an hour and a half in person to allow my mother and I to explore her store, feel the texture of the papers and discuss what we were looking for. She hand watercolored each of our invitations to make each one unique and special and placed gold foil down.
Kat is great at communication, she goes above and beyond to proof everything, get feedback, ask questions and provide options if you are having difficulty making decisions. Her calligraphy is STUNNING! Our guests at the wedding were blown away at the ceremony booklets, their menus, the escort card (which were pictures of all our guests in black and white on an acrylic board of their wedding photos), our vow books, our thank you notes were a dream.
My mom and I are paper snobs and Kat appreciates the fine details and you can tell she loves what she does for each couple.

Amazing experience

Honestly, I can’t say enough good things about working with Kat for our invitations. She seriously hit it out of the park with her responsiveness, ideas, and accommodating every request we had so quickly and efficiently. Her turn around time is incredible and the quality is beyond what I could have hoped for. We got so many compliments on our invites and still are receiving compliments as people continue to RSVP. Thanks so much Kat for making the invite process so easy and for creating the most elegant invites ever.

Paper Mint Press is THE BEST!

What a pleasure experience to work with! We designed our invitations down to every last detail with the exact colors and style we wanted, and it was BEAUTIFUL. Modern and clean! Thanks Kat!

Quality of Service (CHECK), Responsiveness (CHECK), Professionalism (CHECK), Value (CHECK), and Flexibility (Absolutely CHECK).

We were referred from Love Anne Joy and Kat from Paper Mint Press is amazing! From Day 1 she thoroughly went through the process and she is proactive and the communication with her was wonderful!

1. They made our Save The Dates, and we were absolutely pleased! Simple, yet modern and chic! Beautiful, creative, and high quality.
2. The Wedding Invitations -Beautiful, creative, and STUNNING. We were so excited, and it was exactly what we wanted, and probably more than we expected (which is absolutely amazing). Wax Seals? YES! Kat has them and it can be customized. We are obsessed.
3. Day of Accessories – what a DREAM! From the Signage (including “precautionary measures for COVID”), table numbers, menu, and the programs! We were over and beyond and it was totally worth it.

Overall – Even during a pandemic, Kat was so patient and understanding with us. We genuinely enjoyed Paper Mint Press because she is THE BEST as it was a smooth planning process. Its challenging times for sure, but we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Paper Mint Press as she will work with you and “flexible” is the key word to an amazing and excellent vendor to make your dreams come true! We would totally hire them again for ANY special occasion event!

Thank you, Kat for being a part of our DREAM wedding. We are so humbled to have you part of the whole wedding journey (its like the “whole shabang” recipe)! Thank you so much for attending the day! We are so glad that we did not reschedule or cancel our wedding date and keeping the positive motivation! With love and mahalo – Michelle + Christian (10/10/2020)

Artistic & Unique Wedding Invitations

I was a fan of Kat and Emil's work long before I was engaged, so when I did get engaged, I already knew who to go to for our wedding invitations. Planning a wedding can be stressful for couples, but with Kat and Emil's easygoing personalities and professionalism, they made this part easy. We had calls to talk about what we had in mind, but pretty much let Kat use her creativity to design it.

We were having a travel-themed wedding and wanted to have a boarding pass style invitation suite. Kat absolutely NAILED IT with the design! She even hand-drew a map of the Bay Area with recognizable landmarks and also our venue and hotel. Kat even included a scannable QR code on the boarding pass where our guests can use their phone to access our wedding website...how cool is that?! The invitation suite itself is a unique art piece, so I had it framed and is hanging on our wall!

I cannot express how happy I was to work with Kat and Emil, and to have them be a part of such an integral part of our special day. The unique invitations came out so beautiful and we received so many compliments from our guests! I hope to do more business with Paper Mint Press for our future life events!

Kat was so wonderful to work with! We came across her when desperately searching for alternatives to standard-made wedding invitations available online and in stores. I liked certain elements of different things we had seen, but nothing was exactly as I had envisioned for my wedding invitations. To add to the stress, I was planning my wedding from Chicago and only had a few days left in California before heading back. She immediately responded to my inquiry and was able to schedule a last-minute meeting before I left for Chicago. She listened to my vision, and then turned it into life! She was so easy to work with, open to my input, and shared her work with me each step of the process. The end result was absolutely stunning. Thank you Kat for helping make my wedding such a dream!

Kat is a dream-maker!!! I went through 5 different companies before I literally called her in the parking lot after a meeting with a woman who told me what I wanted wasn't possible and tried to talk me into things I didn't like. Kat made it happen! She gave me exactly what I wanted, was organized, had major attention to detail, great communication, she was organized and everything was done in a timely manner. She was also the most affordable and gave me so many options. BUT the best part! she was the sweetest and most delightful person to work with. When I first saw my invitations I literally could have cried- They were so stunning! Rose Gold Pressed and clean lines. Ahhhh! She has everything perfectly organized too. Thank you, Kat for the best invitations I have always dreamed of! They are Jaw Dropping! I can't wait to order thank you cards!

We are so grateful to Kat and Emil for the beautiful letterpress invitations they made for our wedding. From the first email to the last, Kat has been nothing but responsive and accommodating. She has a great artistic eye and guided us in the right direction, but always respectful of our wishes. The invites came out beautiful thanks to the flawless letterpress imprinted on deliciously thick paper, and the gorgeous design and color just tie everything together. I'm so glad I found The Paper Mint Press and proud to support an up and coming local business!

We had the opportunity to work with Kat on a workshop with a local photographer and just clicked right away. She is the sweetest person, and oh so talented! We moved forward with her on some custom cards that we wanted to give to our clients as gifts. She exceeded our expectations on the design and the quality was fantastic! She even boxed up each set for us without us asking her to! In addition, she made custom gift tags for us as well. Again, the quality is exceptional! We are so excited for this first collaboration and know there will be many more.
