    Incredible Work for Our Wedding

    Anticipate Invitations was the absolute best to work with. I will never get over how beautiful their work is! Our wedding invitations were absolutely stunning! Every piece they produce is incredible and unique. From save the dates to wedding day signage, they design and create such amazing custom and quality pieces. Their attention to detail is impeccable. I could not be happier with how everything looked. I would absolutely recommend working with Anticipate Invitations to everyone I know!

    Delivering Highly Authentic and Quality Custom Invites

    Michael is truly the best to work with for your invitation needs! We sought him out when we were looking to make our third round (and final round) of wedding invitations (#COVIDsucks). We wanted something refined, but cheeky, and reflected our personality. This felt weird to request because we weren't sure any custom invitation artist would get our vision... but Michael got it, ran with it, and EXCEEDED our expectations. His communication was clear and consistent throughout the entire process. The end result blew us out of the water and ultimately these invites are by far our favorite. From the design to the end product everything was 10/10. We know our guests when they open these invites will be in awe! If you want authentic invitations that are beautiful and an artist who can truly capture what you are looking for, Michael without a doubt is your guy.

    Perfect Wedding Invitations & Day-Of Stationary

    I worked with Michael to create the most beautiful and meaningful wedding invitations and day of stationary. I selected him because his work was stunning and he was highly recommended by my wedding planner. As we were working together, I truly appreciated all of the suggestions he made to enhance my printed items while keeping cost in mind. I fell in love with the vintage stamps we chose and the beautiful watercolor map and crest he created. Not only was every piece of art he produced special to me, but we received so many compliments on our invitations, programs, and more. I would recommend him to any bride (from anywhere in the US) and certainly use him for any other major event. Thank you Michael!!

    Hands down the BEST!!

    Michael's work is absolutely stunning. His communication was clear and consistent, and he offered great advice on layout and timeline. I worked with him for nearly a year as COVID got in the way of our wedding date a few times. He stayed in touch and was patient through the entire process. I also changed my entire vision for the invitations and he got it, and executed it perfectly. I could not be happier with the end product. Would 100000% recommend him and use him again.

    Exceed my Expectations

    I have never been so impressed with a vendor – EVER. Michael’s work is absolutely beautiful. I have no doubt that he will create something unique and breathtaking for each couple he works with. I believe that you can see that on his website and I’m sure that each of his clients can attest to that. When I first engaged with Anticipate, I told Michael that I needed the invitations in a short period of time. He provided me with a timeframe which I was comfortable with and hit every single deadline. I received my invitations ahead of schedule which I love and I can’t be happier with the outcome. Invitations are one component of your wedding but such an important part because it sets the tone for your wedding to come. I am so fortunately to have worked with someone that gave me such a flawless experience and someone that I completely trusted with my invitations. I just wished that there were more companies that has the work ethic and execution that Anticipate Invitations has.

    Anticipate Invitations's reply:

    You are too kind--thank you Anna! I was so happy to take your ideas and bring them to life for you. Great couples make my job that much easier and rewarding!

    Beautiful Wedding Stationary!

    Michael is a true artist - he absolutely loves what he does and made our vision come true for our wedding stationary! Michael created our wedding save the dates, invitation suite, programs, menus, table cards and day-of signage and it was all so beautiful! We received so many compliments on our wedding invitations and the best part of them was his painting of our venue on the front of our invitations. It's a work of art that I will treasure forever! I sent Michael countless emails on design ideas and he was so patient and flexible making sure that we were happy with the designs and it always looked perfect. Making customized wedding stationary was a splurge item we felt was absolutely worth it and Michael created beautiful pieces for us that we will remember forever! Photos: Lori Paladino Photography

    Anticipate Invitations's reply:

    Thank you Christina! The pleasure was all mine! I'm thrilled to hear that what we created together will be a cherished memory for the both of you!

    So happy with the results & experience!

    We had an amazing experience working with Michael of Anticipate Invitations. I was nervous to work with someone that was across the country (we are in NYC) but the experience couldn't have gone smoother, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results. We continue to get messages from family and friends about how much they love our invitation suite. Michael was extremely responsive and offered his expertise and advise as needed, but still allowed us to have our own creative control and feedback throughout the process to make sure our personalities and feel of our wedding were woven through the invitation suite. The process was so smooth and I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

    Beautiful!

    Designing invitations was one of my favorite parts of the planning process and working with Michael further enhanced the experience! Michael took my thoughts and translated them into something incredible and well beyond what I imagined! Michael commented thoroughly and was always so quick to respond. I would absolutely recommend Anticipate and I cannot wait to find another reason for beautiful custom invitations!

    Anticipate Invitations's reply:

    Thank you so much Roslyn! I hope you and Matthew had a most blessed day! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of something so special and personal.

    Absolutely AMAZING. Anticipate Invitations helped us create the wedding invitation suite of our dreams. I found Michael/Anticipate Invitations on Instagram (@anticipateinvitations). I absolutely loved his style and work. We had a pretty general idea of what we wanted - a clean, contemporary style with a watercolor map. But beyond that, we had little detail to provide him and little experience with invitiations and the terminology/options associated.
    Michael is so talented. Beyond that (and just as important!) is how easy he is to work with. He is incredibly responsive, creative, and provided a ton of important guidance along the way. When we settled on the final vision, he gave us updates every several days to ensure he was on the right track with the design. He designed us a 5 card suite - A custom watercolor map of the area, a stunning invitation card with an illustration of the church, an Events Card, a Details Card, and an RSVP card with a custom watercolor illustration on it.

    Michael also does a great job keeping his Instagram fresh with new events and invitation suites.

    HIGHLY recommend Michael and Anticipate Invitations - he is SO talented and such a pleasure to work with!!!!

    Anticipate Invitations is absolutely incredible! Michael made our vision come to life with his beautiful and romantic watercolor painting of our Italian wedding venue and Tuscan countryside. He is an absolute pleasure to work with, and we're excited to continue working with him to create our wedding ceremony program! We can't thank you enough!

    Anticipate Invitations is top notch and one of the best decisions we made when hiring wedding vendors. Michael came highly recommended by our wedding planner and was so easy to work with right from the start. The process was fun and Michael did a fantastic job of executing our vision and keeping us involved from start to finish. Anticipate helped create destination save the dates, a full custom invitation suite, menus, escort card display, programs, and even special monogram tags for our welcome bags. Everything was stunning and all tied in together. We still use the beautiful monogram goods on our pillow covers and bar items today! Thanks again Michael for an unforgettable experience working with you!

    I don't believe 5 stars is enough for Michael and Anticipate Invitations! If you have come across Anticipate Invitations as an option for your invitations, wedding day stationery, or other needs, there is absolutely no reason to keep looking! He is INCREDIBLE! I wish there were more categories in which I could brag about his services! He works with your budget in mind and strives to match or surpass your vision! As for responsiveness...He blows that out of the water and has the FASTEST service! I'll be honest, invitations weren't a huge priority for me in my wedding planning but with Michael, they became one of my favorite parts! Choose Anticipate Invitations... you will love yourself for it :) Thank you so much Michael!

    Thank you Hilary! It's because of couples like you that keep me going--it was an honor to work with you and Gabe and I wish you all the best!

    Working with Michael was such an absolute pleasure! He is so incredibly talented! I explained to him my vision and he absolutely blew us away. His designs and sketched were out of this world. Every guest raved about our invitations and how amazing they were. The Map and Schedule of Events was such a special add on to our suite. I can't recommend Michael enough - he was such a pleasure to work with. I cried when I first saw the finished design, that tells you something!!

    We liked bits and pieces of different invitations we had come across so really wanted to combine a bunch of difference ideas and also incorporating our own vision. Michael was incredible with listening to what we wanted and executing such unique designs and ideas -- he was so flexible, accommodating, and also thoughtful with the budget we wanted to stick to. We highly recommend Anticipate whether you want to create a custom invitation or just looking for a beautiful suite. It was seamless and so easy to work with him, especially during a very stressful time with so many aspects of planning! I couldn't have asked for anything more.

    Anticipate Invitations was not only great and easy to work with, but they helped create the most beautiful paper goods for my wedding. Everyone loved their work, including us (The Bride and Groom)! Michael's attention to detail, professionalism, and creativity was very impressive. We could not be happier! I would recommend Anticipate to everyone!

    Michael is a joy to work with and a fun collaborator! We had a quick engagement and he helped us create a truly unique invitation package that set the tone and design for our entire wedding. It was personal to our relationship and design aesthetic. We literally had guests calling, texting, and emailing us saying that our invitation was the most unique one they had ever received for a wedding. What a joy! Michael also respected our initial budget concerns and helped us to express our vision and make an impact throughout the revision process. We are so proud of our work together.

    Anticipate Invitations's reply:

    Thank you Michelle! I had an absolute blast creating something completely unique for you and Dave. Photos should soon be up on the site--Best to the both of you!

    Anticipate worked with us on every detail. We were very pleased with the design that fit our wedding theme and venue. Anticipate provided exceptional customer service and quality. The price was right on target with our budget as well. I highly reccomend Anticipate.

    Mike is professional, patient and he will find a way to give you want you want, but better! We wanted unique and creative invitations to go with our playful, kid-friendly, picnic wedding. Mike not only figured out a way to make our ideas a reality, but his own creativity and knowledge made the result even more fun and beautiful than we could have imagined! The save-the-dates and invites received more compliments from our guests than any other detail from our wedding. And, we really appreciated that Mike worked with our budget and timetables will still trying to get us the best possible result. If you need custom work, especially something a bit out of the norm, you have to go with Anticipate.

    Michael with Anticipate Invitations is wonderful. I initially contacted Michael thinking that Anticipate would probably be out of my budget but hoping that it wouldn't be. Michael went above and beyond my wildest dreams by creating beautiful CUSTOM invitations within my budget! When it came to the actual design, Michael has a beautiful and diverse aesthetic that brought my (scattered) vision into a reality. My invitations were perfect. I couldn't have asked for more from my experience with Anticipate Invitations; it was amazing!

    Thank you Lisa! I'm so glad we had the chance to work together and create something that brought your ideas into a cohesive vision for your wedding.

    Michael was absolutely fabulous! He sat down with us for over an hour to talk about what we wanted in our invitations and then the design was everything we had hoped for. He is so creative and really gave us an amazing end product. We got so many compliments on our invitations and we absolutely loved the way that they turned out! I highly recommend Anticipate Invitations to anyone and I've already told many of my friends about it!

    I was impressed from the very minute I met Michael, he was super friendly, courteous, and professional. When it came to invitations I knew what style I liked, but had never seen anything that was quite right. Michael designed a few different options to get the feel of what we were looking for, and from that created something that was absolutely perfect! Needless to say we were beyond thrilled, and I am still in love with our invitations!

    We are so pleased with our Save-the-Date's! Michael came up with several very unique and creative ideas to make our stationary match our theme/us. We are so happy to know what we are sending out to people will be something that they will want to keep! With all of the options for color, printing, materials and design, it makes me want to keep having more celebrations and parties-just to see what creaativity Michael can come up with next!
