Emily Pearson- Portsmouth Invitation Company Review!

For our wedding, we used Portsmouth Invitation Company for our invitation suites and wedding day details. We were absolutely blown away by the gorgeous details Deborah helped us design and create for our wedding day. Deborah was extremely informative, supportive and prompt. From the invitations, escort cards, ceremony programs and even down to the signature cocktail sign, everything was just perfect. She was always answering our questions and providing us with all we needed to ensure our day was just as how we imagined. We would highly recommend Portsmouth Invitation Company and working with Deborah for your wedding day needs, she is just the best!!

The Best Service ever!!

Deborah became someone who helped me with many aspects of my wedding. If I had any last minute details or even advice (since wedding planning is so stressful). She became someone who was involved with my wedding along with creating beautiful escort cards, display signs and my gorgeous invitations. I got positive compliments all around :) She is the best!!

Amazing experience- Deborah is SO great!!

We recently got married and I found Deborah through my venue. That was probably one of the best things to ever happen to me during the wedding planning process. She met with me at her shop and we went through books and books of invitations until i found one I loved. She was there for every step of making sure they all got mailed, seating charts were flawless and even put together our programs for the day of and guest welcome boxes too! If you are planning a wedding in the NH area do yourself the biggest favor and work with Deborah! She is the BEST!!!

Exceptional service and product

Working with Portsmouth Invitation Company (specifically Deborah) was an absolutely DREAM. Deborah talked me through everything start to finish, offering her thoughts and guidance, but never pushing me in one direction--allowing me to understand my options and decide exactly what I wanted. She was extremely responsive via email, and the product she delivered was of the highest quality. We purchased wedding invitations, shower invitations, personalized napkins for the reception, and a custom photo card box. Deborah ensured all of the items tied together and shared on cohesive theme. We got so many compliments on our invitations and are still getting them 3 months after they were mailed! I cannot say enough good things about Deborah--if you want high quality, elegant stationary, she is the go-to person in New England!

Deborah was so easy to work with. We used her services for the wedding (and bridal shower) invitations, escort cards, card box, etc. Her extremely outgoing personality made the entire process fun and stress free. She is the ultimate professional with fantastic ideas and a lot of patience. I highly recommend her.

From the moment we met Deborah, her knowledge, professionalism and absolute attention to detail was amazing!!

Deborah absolutely took care of us from the very first day we met until my daughter’s wedding day! She is extremely knowledgeable in all things wedding related!!! She answered our questions and guided us through the process of choosing the most beautiful wedding invitation. The process was seamless! She was always available whenever we had questions and the invitations were ready as promised! On the day of the wedding, she personally delivered our wedding materials and her attention to detail was perfect! As the mother of the bride, I appreciated Deborah’s assistance with the entire wedding process! Perfection!!!

Deborah was instrumental in helping us create our overall aesthetic for our day. From our save the dates, all the way down to our name place cards, everything was absolutely PERFECT. We could not have asked for someone more knowledgeable or creative to work with.

Amazing Invitation Vendor

Have an extremely specific vision for your invitations like I did? Deborah is your lady!

I walked in with 3 or 4 antique invitations (and by "antique," I literally do mean antique.... one was from exactly 100 years before our wedding day) and asked her to help recreate them.... but then also duplicate them in Spanish. Deborah did that... and so much more! She knew the etiquette of items to put on our Catholic ceremony invitations. Our style was more formal, so she knew all the individual parts of an invitation suite and what went on each. Her attention to detail really shone when she even helped us ensure our addresses were correct! TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE COMPLICATED, our invitations also needed to have both an English side and a Spanish side and LET ME TELL YOU that was tough for me to translate, but Deborah absolutely nailed it on the Spanish version! It looked incredible.

Our invitations were absolutely perfect and I have a set framed for myself, as well as for my mother (as she has all the antique ones in her hallway at home). We displayed them along with the antique ones at our wedding and it was gorgeous.

Amazing and absolutely the best!

I contacted Deborah in January and set up an appointment to meet with her for my daughter’s 10/9/21 wedding. I spent three fun hours with Deborah picking out the entire paper suite for the wedding. The product is amazing. Deborah works in your budget, doesn’t try to upsell. We did the invitations (including all of the inserts, gorgeous liner for the envelopes) and thank you notes. When I went back in June to pick them up I picked out her cocktail napkins for the cocktail reception and the napkin rings for the reception. In the late summer/early fall we started working on the programs. Every piece that I ordered from Deborah was perfect. She will guide you through the process with ease. Her knowledge is incredible and very helpful! Something you will not get by ordering online is replacement envelopes if people move or have relationship changes. I never thought I would need that and in a 5 month period we needed about a dozen changes. This was done at NO charge besides! Going local, having a person to person interaction is definitely the way to go! You won’t be disappointed if you hire Deborah!

Incredible!

Working with Deborah from Portsmouth Invitation Company was arguably one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process. Not only is Deborah the epitome of a professional and expert, but she is also so kind, honest, respectful, responsive and incredibly knowledgable! It's hard to even express just how wonderful she truly is.

Along with producing our beautiful wedding invitations, we worked with Deborah to create all of our wedding weekend collateral like our welcome sign, place cards, ceremony programs, welcome boxes, table numbers, menus, custom napkins, etc. which this made the weekend feel like a breeze since there really was nothing for us to do. And also our guests raved about how beautiful and seamless all the signage was.

Her expertise is truly next level and something I'm so grateful that we had going through the crazy planning process. Safe to say that without Deborah, we would have been lost. Working with her to plan a wedding should be a requirement! She simply is the best!!

Portsmouth Invitation Co. is THE place to have all your paper needs!

Deborah not only did the wedding invitations, but the signature drink signs, memorial table signs, favor table signs, escort cards, napkin rings and individual place setting menus – a perfect touch. I cannot say enough about Deborah - she is a marvel and knows her craft inside and out. She literally held us together in times of crisis and never panicked. Our guests were stunned by the beauty of our invitations and the obvious care in putting them together. No small detail was overlooked and I was sure it would all be perfect – and it was! Deborah takes care in everything she does and it’s clear no job is ever half done.

Thank you to Deborah for everything! From the initial meeting a few days before the Covid shutdown, to the delivery of our welcome boxes at our hotels, Deborah was with us every step of the way. We could not have asked for a better vendor for all of our needs. Thank you for helping us through (what felt like) the impossible, and making our dream wedding come to life.

Our wedding experience with Deborah for our daughter’s invitations, programs and thank your notes was wonderful. Deborah is so dedicated to quality work with her expertise and unbelievable eye for detail that can not be matched. Deborah went way beyond to help and accommodate our daughter.
Deborah has a wonderful easy personality to work with that made the whole process so pleasant and fun. Her professionalism, expertise, and guidance is also unmatched. Deborah walked us through the guest table assignments and set-up the table guest assignment cards and programs on site. The invitations were beautiful, the ceremony programs were beautiful.
You would be most fortunate indeed to chose Deborah to supply your wedding invitations, welcome bags, programs etc.

Couldn’t ask for better!

Deborah is absolutely wonderful. When my then-fiancé and I showed up at her studio to look at invitations for our Portsmouth wedding, we had ZERO idea of what we wanted. Deborah took us through a process that somehow magically ended with us choosing incredibly classy, timeless invitations. Deborah has excellent taste and a great eye for color and texture; she steered us in the direction of invitations that matched the “feel” we wanted for our wedding. She also is really great with the etiquette details that you don’t often think about until you actually get into the planning process. We were so blown away with the level of service she provided, and our guests commented on how beautiful and timeless our invitations were.
Unfortunately, our wedding in Portsmouth ended up getting postponed, then later cancelled due to Covid complications. When Deborah found out that the event had been cancelled, she kindly reached out to me to return a deposit for wedding day signage that she was going to do for us. She could easily have not said anything, but her kind gesture meant a lot to us during a week when we were feeling really sad about having to cancel our big wedding. Deborah knows that it’s the little things that count, and I would recommend Portsmouth Invitation Company to anyone planning a wedding, no matter where you live!

Very kind and a pleasure to work with!

I was connected to Deborah through our contact at Wentworth by the Sea and I was so grateful for this partnership! We initially planned on a 250 guest wedding and ended up with 24 guests due to Covid-19. We had several last-minute changes to the guest list and Deborah was able to make edits for us and follow up with the venue to ensure everyone had the most up-to-date information. She also created a beautiful church program that matched our invites and turned them around in less than a week. Deborah is knowledgeable, professional, and very kind. You can tell that she takes pride in taking care of the details for her wedding couples and we enjoyed getting to know her in the process!

A Wonderful Experience

We absolutely loved working with Deborah at Portsmouth Invitation Company. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Deborah’s response time to any questions I had was quick and her professionalism was top notch. She not only cares about the products she designs but also cares that we were happy with everything she did. Deborah even added a personal design touch to our escort and place cards that set an elegant tone as our guests arrived to the reception. Definitely looking forward to working with her in the future.

Fantastic experience!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! My husband and I worked with Deborah on our invitations, ceremony programs, our welcome bag hang tags and place cards/table numbers. She was so helpful and patient as we walked through all the different options for invitations, and provided her expertise along the way for wording and etiquette nuances. When I called her less than 2 weeks before my wedding in a panic about not having hang tags for the welcome bags with information about the morning after breakfast, she didn't blink an eye. She had 3 proofs over to me within 24 hours, and had them shipped out to me shortly thereafter. I highly recommend working with Deborah - her expertise, fantastic eye for design and flexibility made her a pure joy to work with!

Responsive, Helpful & an Absolute Gem

Deborah was an absolute gem in our wedding planning process. She provided top notch invitations and made the process as simple (as it could be). Also brought to light other items that made our wedding the day it was (menus, signature cocktail signs, welcome boxes for our guests, etc). Deborah has done this a time or two and knows how to make your day exactly what you want it to be, and more. Don't miss out on this talent for your wedding day!

Attention to Detail, Fine Work

Deborah is truly a professional. She knows how to help a couple feel comfortable and informed about the process of the whole invitation process. Deborah listened to our desires and needs and she came through. She was so patient with us, understanding that this is all a very involved endeavor to put on a wedding but also keeping us on track to get things done when they needed to be. I would recommend Portsmouth Invitation Company to anyone looking for an invitation that will have guests wowed. I had so many people comment on the class, character, and personality that came through with our invitations. Thank you, Deborah!

50th Anniversary Celebration

I worked with Portsmouth Invitation Company to design my parents 50th anniversary invitations and place cards. Deborah assisted me with wording, fonts, invitation style selection and important details that I would have never considered like envelope liners and a gold foil border. When the invitations had arrived I was ecstatic at how beautiful and elegant they were! When guests called to rsvp for our celebration they all commented on how stunning the invitations were! Our gorgeous invitations most definitely set the tone for an elegant celebratory event. Deborah made the process easy, fluid and I trusted her advice and guidance emphatically. A true, passionate and knowledgeable professional in her field. I would highly recommend Portsmouth Inhiation.

What we expected was a vendor, what we experienced was a guide who helped us create the most amazing day of our lives...

This review is long overdue! Our experience with Deborah and the Portsmouth Invitiation Company was simply magical. I will do my best to describe it, but to truly experience this amazing woman you have to meet her in person. As two lovebirds navigating the unfamiliar waters that come with getting married, Deborah acted not only as our vendor, but as a guru, a guide, and ultimately a trusted friend. She is wise, understands the little touches, and isn’t afraid to think outside of the box to make your experience unique and exciting. In an age of Pintrist, Snapfish and Shutterfly, Deborah and the Portsmouth Invitation Company stand apart from the crowd. There aren’t many things we would change about our special day, but if you were to ask me and my wife to pick one thing and one thing only from our day to do all over again, we would 100% choose to work with Deborah.

Deborah is the best person to make your wedding invitations or anything else that you may need (signature drinks sign, signature napkin rings, table place cards). Wedding planning is incredibly overwhelming but when you work with Deborah everything is so easy and perfect. She takes care of absolutely everything and is outstanding at her job. I would never even dream about trying to DIY the stuff that she did for us. I am so glad the Wentworth directed us to Deborah and recommend her 10/10 to any other bride.

Deborah at Portsmouth Invitation is a rock star! She makes the invitation process easy and her selection is beautiful. Her attention to every detail, patience and flexibility are really what makes her services stand out. The help she provided goes beyond the invitations. She saved my sanity while planning a 170 guest wedding, during an already very busy year for me.

Deborah was absolutely wonderful to work with! My husband and I used Portsmouth Invitation Company for our escort and table cards (it was part of a package deal with our venue). Deborah made the process extremely easy and even made a few other decorative suggestions that we loved!

Deborah was absolutely phenomenal. She could be a wedding planner. She helped me select my invitations and provided spreadsheets to help with the organization of table arrangements and addresses. The escort cards, table numbers and invitations she created looked beautiful and tied in nicely with the other decor. Deborah also made the most beautiful welcome boxes for my guests. Deborah is always available and happy to help in any way she can. I plan on recommending her services to all of my friends.

Deborah is a lifesaver!! She did the invitations, place cards, programs, and signage for our wedding. She is so fun to work with and really knows her stuff! We are so happy with how everything came out. She came to our venue the morning of our wedding and set everything up exactly how we wanted. Deborah took care of all the small details that I would have been worried/stressed about. We received so many compliments on how beautiful and elegant our invitations were. We would definitely recommend Deborah and Portsmouth Invitation Company to anyone looking for an absolute professional for their wedding or special even! Thanks Deborah!!

What a joy to work with Deborah! First off, she is a master at what she does! We had Deborah create our ceremony programs, a Signature Cocktail drink, a dessert table sign, Welcome Sign to our wedding, and the place cards. Everything came out gorgeous! She matched the font and style to our invitations perfectly and was very creative in the different signs. For example, my husband and I are dog lovers and have 2 Great Danes, she was able to incorporate their names into the signature drink sign! We also rented the card box from her which was so easy! We sent her the pictures we wanted on the box and she took care of the rest! Deborah was such a pleasure to work with, always making herself available to talk, and promptly returning phone calls or emails. The first time my husband and I met with her, all we did was laugh! I highly recommend working with her, she will not disappoint!!

Deborah was great to work with. She is truly talented, and her style is unique. She was patient, attentive and understanding after me changing my ideas all the time. Deborah did all stationary (posters, signs, napkins, menus) for my recent summer wedding (6/30/2018) in Portsmouth, NH. She captured our unique "couple style and tastes" in her wedding stationary for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Many guests from my wedding commented on how absolutely gorgeous stationary was, especially the welcome sign and cocktail napkins. Everything was just stunning! People loved everything. Thank you, Deborah!

I don't know what I would've done without Deborah! She is really something special! She got me! And my vision for the wedding. Deborah was so patient with me as I looked at invitation after invitation; helping me narrow down to the perfect one! And it didn't end there. Deborah assisted throughout the entire process: from the save the dates, to finalizing the invitation suite and language to be used, to helping me get organized with my guest list and the table assignments and escort cards. And just when I thought Deborah was done, we worked on the extra details that tied everything together: monogramed cocktail napkins, cigar matches, napkin rings, signature signs for the wedding, etc. It was perfect! I want to throw another party just to work with Deborah again!

Deborah was amazing to work with. She did my invitations and escort cards, and they both came out beautifully. i received many compliments on the invitations and they were so elegant and classy and exactly what I was looking for. One of the biggest values Deborah provided was helping me to narrow down decisions and provide her insight and experience and advice, which is exactly what I needed! I initially thought about doing my invitations online but there were too many options and i was nervous about the quality. I met with Deborah at her office and she showed me lots of samples and helped make the best decision (she was also very familiar with my venue which was a huge help). She was also very responsive and quick to reply back to me, so working with her truly was a great experience.

My husband and I were married August 12 2017, but started working with Deborah in Fall '16. She goes above & beyond to help make your wedding a dream come true from start to finish. She is detail oriented, timely, professional, and simply incredible. The quality of her product is well worth the price. Deborah's contribution to our wedding was not just with beautiful save the dates/invitations/escort cards/thank you notes, she helped us make incredible gift boxes, as well as gave us tips to save money for our special day throughout the process. Her years of experience really helped her answer any question you can throw her way, and she gives an honest but respectful answer in return. Will and I would recommend Deborah to anyone in a heart beat. She is truly such a fabulous person, and we couldn't have imagined our special day turning out as beautiful as it did without her help and guidance.

Deborah is the Wedding Fairy Godmother. Not only does she produce the most incredible custom materials, but she also puts her client at ease with her command of timelines, checklists, and details. Deborah went above and beyond to really get to know my fiance, my mother, and our vision for our big day. She helped us navigate the inevitable family disagreements, and she came up with creative compromises for our materials to make sure we were all happy with the output.

There is truly nothing Deborah can't do. Of course the invitations were gorgeous, but so were our custom matchbooks, our out-of-town welcome bags (which she assembled herself AND delivered to local hotels - such a time saver!), and even the name plates for the photos of our parents' and grandparents' weddings. She has every single detail of a wedding perfected, and she can do it all.

One of the benefits of working with Deborah is that she customizes everything for you. We weren't ever limited to a template. I loved being able to pull inspiration from other brides, but to end up with a final product that truly represented us.

Working with Deborah was the smartest decision we made for our wedding. If you're reading this - look no further. Deborah is your girl.

Deborah was an absolute pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our invitations/paper needs, and had examples of everything in her office. She even supplied snacks ;^). I was even able to text her with questions. She gave us a full experience and didn't limit her advice to invitations only. She even steered us away from extra wedding costs that we didn't need, and showed examples of decor for our venue (so that I didn't choose to have a ton of color in our centerpieces, very good decision). She went above and beyond her duty and the best part about it was that she's extremely fun to be with. Her personality rocks and our entire experience with her was perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better person to work with. If you're in her general area, definitely choose her to help with your special days. She's the best!

Deborah at Portsmouth Invitation Company is absolutely amazing. She understood exactly what my husband and I were looking for and also gave us some great ideas toward making our invitations look absolutely stunning. We used Portsmouth Invitation Company for our Save the Dates, Wedding Invitations, Table Numbers, Escort Cards, and Wedding Programs. Deborah was able to keep a consistent theme among all of documents. Our guests were blown away with how stunning everything came out and I was brought to tears when I saw my wedding program. Throughout the entire process Deborah was available via email and was so accessible. Worth every penny!! I am so glad I went with Portsmouth Invitation Company instead of trying to do a DIY company online.

It is worth paying the extra money and having someone experienced & reliable do your wedding invitations (and thank you cards, table numbers, etc) Deborah provided us with ideas that we could have never thought of on our own, making our invitations the most unique and beautiful I have ever seen. I am glad I chose to do this in person with her, versus purchasing on a website. It was a great experience and she was so easy and wonderful to work with. Not only did she provide us with beautiful invitations, she double checked all of our work! (spelling of last names & addresses etc.) Highly recommended and worth every penny. She knows what she is doing and can create you something absolutely amazing.

Deborah is amazing at what she does! I planned my wedding all the way from Sebago, Maine for a Portsmouth Wedding and she was so accommodating with meetings, phone calls, emails etc.....She had patiences and opening ears on what I wanted. She sent proofs so that I would see them to see if I liked. The best part was, she was understanding with last minute changes to the seating list. I would absolutely use her for the future for parties and such!

We couldn't have created my daughter's New Year's Eve dream wedding without Deborah from Portsmouth Invitation. She was amazing to work with, so pleasant, so patient and so responsive. Meeting Deborah early in the planning stages of the wedding was the best thing we could have done. After our first meeting it was clear that she is as creative as she is experienced. In no time at all she was able to guide us in the right direction for selecting our invitations based on the venue, and type of wedding all the while listening to what my daughter's vision was for her big day. She was able to give us a timeline for the Save the Dates, Invitations, Menus, Programs, etc. That kept us right on track. I loved her so much I used her for the bridal shower invitations. I don't want to forget to mention she is a detail fanatic!! Not so much as an extra space got by her; she reviewed and proofed each and every design prior to sharing them with us. And she surprised us with carrying our classic gold glitter theme right through to the table numbers she created for us. I highly recommend using Portsmouth Invitation if you want a worry and stress free experience.

What a pleasure it was to work with Deborah. My daughter had a vision of "gold, elegant and vintage" for her wedding and Deborah instantly knew what she was looking for. Deborah was exceptional in assisting us in everything. The details of the wedding invitations, to the programs, escort cards and the table numbers were absolutely gorgeous. She even came to the venue the day of the wedding to set up the escort card table, escort cards and the table numbers. As mother of the bride she was a god sent. The Grand Ballroom sparkled with all the Gold and Red in the room. Deborah has a special gift for outlining the small intricate details.
When we told Deborah we were having the wedding and reception at The Colony Hotel in Kennebunkport she knew how important it was for us to keep the vintage/elegant theme and she came through for us.
We are very pleased to have meet Deborah. I can't wait to have her make our baby shower invitations someday.
Thank you Deborah..

We were blessed to find Deborah for our invitations and wedding printing needs because she is the vendor that offers services for all of our wedding venue packages. I don't know how I would have made it through the process of choosing invitations, wedding programs, escort cards, and signs with my very picky husband without Deborah's humor, exquisite taste, and impeccable style. And because Deborah works with our wedding venue on a regular basis she was able to offer incredible suggestions for what would and wouldn't work in the space and that knowledge alone made the process so easy and painless. Deborah knows her stuff and makes the design and printing process fun and seamless!

The only word that comes to mind is perfection! If you want everything done right, Deborah will make sure it happens. She guides you through the process, who knew it would take an hour to pick out the perfect paper, but she knows what she's doing! I had the perfect invitations, the absolutely perfect duogram design, the perfect napkins holders, table cards, place cards and stationery. She made sure everything was clean, exact and precise. She made my wedding elegant, classic yet filled with bling! I cannot stress enough how amazing she was for our wedding. We will use her again for our stationery. You will not be disappointed with Deborah for any of your wedding or stationery needs.

Deborah was phenomenal! My sister and I were able to hand pick every aspect of my invitation suite (font, envelope liner, single vs. double envelope, wording etc etc.) and they were more than I could have ever imagined. Many of my guests, as well as my husband and myself, described our invitations as elegant, classy and pure perfection. We also had our ceremony programs, cocktail napkins, napkin rings, table numbers and place cards made my Deborah and they all were perfect and worked together very nicely with gold and blush accents, they were absolutely stunning. Deborah not only helped me from a stationary aspect, but also, was able to help give advice regarding Rehearsal Dinner venues… she went above and beyond and I could not imagine my wedding without her. Deborah, thank you for your dedication, professionalism and perfection. You made our wedding a dream come true and Ryan and I are forever thankful for you and your services.

"GORGEOUS", "STUNNING", "OMG" - this is the feedback I am getting from my friends and family who are blown away opening our INCREDIBLE CUSTOM Save the Dates that I mailed two days ago and were created by Portsmouth Invitations. Deborah sat down with us and walked us through the process on a cozy Sunday morning (talk about flexible), and with her expertise and creativity helped us create Save the Dates that you can't find anywhere else. Instead of picking someone else's pre-made templated design or some suite that I've seen too many times, we were able to create them from scratch. Did I also mention Deborah has incredible taste? She was also able to incorporate some of my fiancee's ideas (you know the ones that don't make sense at all) without taking anything away from the gorgeous design. I cannot wait to go back and meet with her to do our invitations for our June wedding!!

From the moment I walked into your storefront on Deer Street I knew you were the best person to handle the invitation suite, napkin rings, ceremony programs, table numbers, reception card box, and thank you note cards. From start to finish you listened to our needs and made excellent, expert recommendations. You made a stressful process so relaxed, we truly appreciate all that you did for us! I would highly recommended you to ALL my friends planning their weddings!

Deborah was a pleasure to work with. She was extremely reliable and has attention to detail like no other. She designed hotel guest gifts, children activity bags, menus, table numbers, napkins and escort cards for our June wedding that were just amazing and to the highest of quality. She listened to everything we wanted and came up with a design that blended wonderfully with everything else. Her input and feedback truly helped me make decisions about all the little details for our entire day that added just the right touch! It's all in the details and she absolutely made sure those details were perfect, right down to the shades of blue and specific fonts I wanted. We were both thrilled with her responsiveness and considerations made to make our day just the way we wanted!

Deborah was amazingly helpful and had such great ideas for us every step of the way. Everything she did for us showed her effort through and through. All our guests commented on her work.

To say that our wedding may not have happened without Deborah (and her husband Ken!) is an absolute fact. I strolled into Maine-ly NH with the thought that I would handwrite my save the dates on postcards. Ken suggested I speak to his wife who might be able to help me out. Well, from the moment we met Deborah, I knew she was the guidance that we needed! Her advice was honest, practical and classy, her style is on point, and her understanding of all things wedding (not just the paper products) literally saved us! She is extremely organized, friendly, and responsive...for all of us anxious brides who want answers 5 minutes ago :) We ended up getting save the dates, invitations, and escort cards and they were absolutely perfect for our October 17, 2015 wedding. I can't thank Deborah enough!

This review is for Deborah at Portsmouth Invitation Company formerly Maine-ly New Hampshire. Deborah did the invitations, table numbers, and escort cards for our October wedding at The Wentworth by the Sea. I know nothing about formal etiquette for invitations and the like, and Deborah's expertise proved infinitely helpful. She was patient when it came to the decision making process and she walked us through it step by step. Deborah offers five star service with much experience and professionalism. I would highly recommend her.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Deborah is the absolute BEST! She is an etiquette guru and knows all the "do's and don'ts" of wedding planning! My mom and I went to her shop to ask about invitations and we ended up using her for invitations, table numbers, escort cards, cocktail napkins, rehearsal dinner invitations, ceremony programs, day of coordination, favors, and more! She even helped me decide what color flowers, chairs, and table linens I should use to best suite our venue! She is absolutely incredible! Look no further you have found your one stop wedding shop!

Deborah is simply amazing! She provided tent cards, table numbers, ceremony programs and amenity bags for our wedding in early May. Not only was she incredibly responsive and helpful, but her attention to detail was impeccable. She went above and beyond for us and I am so glad we made the decision to work with her!

Maine-ly New Hampshire provided the escort cards, table numbers, and programs for our 8/31/14 wedding. Deborah was so lovely to work with and was always available to chat and work on details. All of the products they made for us were exactly what we wanted and came out perfectly. We feel very lucky that we got to work with them and would recommend them to anyone getting married in the area!

Working with Deborah at Maine-ly New Hampshire is the best decision my husband and I ever made. We popped in one day just to speak with Deborah about our wedding invitations. She made the time right then and there to meet with us. We told Deborah we were working on a budget and gave her an idea of what it is we were looking for; she showed us our options that were within budget and together, we created a beautiful invitation. My husband and I were so impressed with how the invitation came out. It was absolutely beautiful and more than we ever expected. Deborah's knowledge of wedding etiquette was extremely helpful. I would absolutely recommend Deborah to anyone who is searching for wedding invitations, escort cards, table numbers, programs, etc. Deborah created our escort cards and table numbers as well as our invitations and we couldn't be happier with her product. We received numerous compliments about our escort cards. Deborah has a beautifully creative way of indicating food choices on the escort cards. She was extremely fast in responding to any email I sent to her and was always willing to help with any minor problem presented. For example, we received some last minute requests from our parents who wanted to invite more guests. We hadn't ordered enough invitations and Deborah graciously provided her extra invitations to us. She didn't hesitate and she didn't complain. Deborah was more than willing to help us with anything she could. I will absolutely use Deborah in the future and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for amazing quality and a phenomenal, outgoing, bubbly personality to work with!

My daughter and I first met Deborah of Maine-ly New Hampshire as a preferred vendor for our wedding venue and would be providing our escort and table cards. Being from out of town, we just assumed we would use someone closer to home for other items, especially the invitations. Once we met Deborah, we used her for everything -- formal invitations (unique and beautiful), escort cards, table cards, menu cards, ceremony programs, signage and guest welcome boxes (which were a very big hit--she even delivered them to every hotel). Besides providing all these services, Deborah is a treasure trove of invaluable wedding information. She was truly a guiding hand, even providing spreadsheets to track responses, meal choice, accommodations and table seating. Just can't say enough to express our thanks to her for helping us get through the entire process so smoothly and for designing and producing such beautiful, unique and quality stationary products. It's all in the details and Deborah is a master at detail! If you are doing a wedding in the Portsmouth, NH area we definitely recommend you visit Deborah at her fun and lovely store on Deer Street.

Working with Maine-ly New Hampshire is one of the best decisions you can make! Deborah at Maine-ly New Hampshire created my save the dates, wedding invitations, wedding programs, reception menu cards, and escort cards. I also worked with her on welcome amenities for my guests and wedding favors. Here are a few thoughts and feedback from my experience.

Quality of Service: Deborah is an invaluable resource and exceptional at what she does. She is extremely creative and brings your wedding day vision to life. If you want to work with someone who has impeccable taste and pays attention to every little detail, Deborah is the one. She takes such pride in all of her work and goes to great lengths to make sure everything comes together beautifully. Not only did she help me with the services mentioned above, she was my sounding board and resource while planning my wedding. She and Ken provided recommendations and ultimately gave me the name of the Church I was married in, provided feedback on possible vendors, and restaurants for our rehearsal dinner. They are both extremely personable and genuinely want to help.

Professionalism: You won't find anyone more professional than Deborah. She is someone that you can truly count on and can trust her opinion. She will not steer you wrong! She is very quick to respond to any emails/calls and makes you feel like a priority. You walk away knowing that she has your best interests at heart and wants the very best for you!

All of the products that she created for me were absolutely beautiful and from start to finish more than I ever could have hoped for. She makes the process fun, she'll make you laugh, and she will help you cross the finish line all in one piece! I am so thankful to have met and worked with Deborah and Ken at Maine-ly New Hampshire!

If I could give one piece of advice to a newly engaged couple, it would be: don't think about getting married without Deborah and Ken at Maine-ly New Hampshire! I can't say enough positive things about the services Deborah provided. Here are a few notes about my experience:

Quality of Service: Deborah has impeccable taste and will not deliver anything less than her best. She sat with me for several hours (and also skyped with me from afar) while we discussed the invitations - everything from the paper to the font to the wording. They came out beautifully and she really listened to what I wanted. She did not try to push anything on me, but she did give honest advice based on her expertise (which she has a LOT of!). The wedding invitations came out so well that I decided to have her also do escort cards, table numbers, sweetheart table decorations, a card box, and favors (flip flops). Everything she did came out even better than I had envisioned, and she worked with my other vendors to make sure everything came together the way I wanted it. Deborah did a truly amazing job and played a major part in creating the "classic seaside" vibe we were going for.

Responsiveness: Deborah was always easy to get in touch with and she made herself available to listen to my ideas, questions, and last-minute additions. She listened to me and delivered what I wanted while at the same time providing invaluable advice. Even though she helps out a lot of brides, I always felt like I was the only one!

Value: Every dollar we spent with Maine-ly New Hampshire was well worth it. All of the products were high quality and the advice she gave us was invaluable. I never felt like she was pushing anything on me, and for every product she gave us several options and price points to work with.

I am so grateful to Maine-ly New Hampshire for making my wedding stress-free and beautiful! Thank you!

I would have never expected that in the back of the cute little Maine-ly NH shop sat Deborah and the endless possibilities for all things wedding. From the second I walked in and met Deborah, her husband and Ivy, I knew I had found the right people to lead me to creating the most amazing invitations, table numbers, escort cards and cocktail napkins. Deborah is so incredibly amazing at what she does, knows the ins and outs of stationary, etiquette and what's up and coming in weddings. She dedicates a great amount of time to each client, doesn't pressure you into unnecessary (and expensive) stationary and is timely in responding to any questions and concerns. She had me laughing and enjoying the entire process, and made it worth the cost of having professional invitations done (rather than trying to do them myself online)..the final product was amazing and process was fun and exciting. I will be recommending Deborah to any new brides I know!

When you are planning a wedding Deborah is the person you want to have as a primary resource! She is not only a delight to work with but she has such a creative mind. She came up with the most lovely table numbers and an incredible Guest Welcome package.
Deborah could help in any way possible and the best part about Maine-ly New Hampshire is she was connected to so many people we needed to make our wedding planning complete. She is fabulous!

We would highly recommend Maine-ly New Hampshire and Deborah to any couple needing to get anything done for their wedding! Although we just got our invitation suite with Deborah we could tell she would be prepared for anything else, even giving us suggestions while we were there. Within 1-2 hours of our first meeting with Deborah, we had drawn up an invitation suite well above what our expectations were. Her experience, knowledge, and personalism guided us through all of our options and navigated us right to what we were looking for. The process was so effortless there was no stress at all! She continued to keep in touch with us throughout the process whether it was days, nights, or weekends, she was always there to help. Once we received our invitations they were exactly what we were looking for, PERFECT! We highly recommend Maine-ly New Hampshire and Deborah to anyone, and we will definitely be passing her name to our friends who will be getting married in the future.

I would highly recommend Maine-ly New Hampshire to any bride looking for stationary, favors or gifts for her wedding. I used Maine-ly New Hampshire for several different items and thrilled with everyone of them! I worked with Deborah who took the time to get to know me and my husband so she was able to make recommendations that she knew would fit with our wedding and overall style. Deborah ensured that I was getting exactly what I wanted, even completely customizing gorgeous wedding invitations for me. She truly went above and beyond and made the small details of my wedding completely unforgettable!

Maine-ly New Hampshire provided several things for our wedding: invitations, table numbers, place cards, favors (custom matchbooks), custom cocktail napkins, and welcome baskets for our out-of-towners. I was blown away by the quality of service that I received from Deborah, who I worked with from start to finish. We told her that the kissing swans were kind of our wedding theme, so she personally created a kissing-swan icon that we used on our invitations, cocktail napkins, and matchbooks. Talk about going above and beyond! She was also incredibly helpful with the precise wording for our invitations to make it sound just perfect. She also took care of delivering everything directly to the hotel (and delivered welcome packages to multiple hotel locations for no additional charge), which took a lot of stress off of me on the day of the wedding. I had a few last-minute changes the week before the wedding (some people's guests couldn't make it and I needed to rearrange some table assignments), and Deborah made the changes to the placecards for me in a snap. The invitations were gorgeous and I received many complements on them - everything she provided for us was top-notch and beautifully crafted. The best part about working with Maine-ly NH is that Deborah is as excited about all the details as you are. She LOVES what she does and it really shows in the way that she works with you in planning out all those little details. Highly recommend this company -- five stars and two enthusiastic thumbs up!

There just aren't enough words to describe how thrilled I am that I met Deborah, owner of Maine-ly New Hampshire. Not only is she a warm-hearted, kind, funny and charismatic person, she was an absolute joy to work with and a true expert at what she does. I always looked forward to our meetings and hearing her amazing ideas.

My mother and I thought we would just pop in to the store to look around, and 4 hours later (because we were having so much fun) we had created the most gorgeous, elegant, custom designed invitation suite I could have ever imagined. From there on out she completely understood my style and was able to make our place cards, menu's, custom koozies, and hotel welcome boxes with almost no input from me.

Her work was flawless, her knowledge, endless. If there were 6 stars to give, I would. Thank you Deborah (and Ken too ) !!

Deborah at Maine-ly New Hampshire is amazing!! She assisted me in the wedding planning process with etiquette questions, color coordination, and style design. When I began the wedding process I met with Deborah to discuss my Save the Dates. I told her that I didn’t have a wedding style or theme as I was feeling overwhelmed with that part of the wedding planning. After showing Deborah a few photos that I pinned on Pinterest she informed me that I do indeed have a style. She described my style as “simple, elegance” and it was from that moment I had a guide to help me plan the wedding. She was my saving grace! Working with Deborah was a fun and easy process. She is not only creative, but is flawless with her attention to detail. Not only was I thrilled with the outcome of all my wedding stationary products, my guests raved about all the details of her products. Deborah’s kind personality, professionalism, and expertise are why I will work with her in the future. I know my two sisters will also use Deborah for their upcoming wedding stationary needs!

I can't say enough good things about Deborah and the amazing job she did for my wedding. The first time we met, she won us over with her attention to detail and her creativity. Words we spoke of her when we left that day were "on top of her game," "incredibly sharp," "hilarious," and "when the heck does the woman ever SLEEP?!?" She was so helpful in every way. She brought us from a vague vision to an affordable version of perfection. Not to mention, she made us feel that our wedding was the only one on her mind, even though she had 20+ other brides she was taking care of at the time. I'm looking forward to using her services in the future!
