    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!

    Outstanding

    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!!!

    Most Amazing Invitations !!!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Deborah is the BEST!

    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.

    Excellent, excellent, excellent!

    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.

    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!!

    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!

    The Best Find

    You will never find anyone more professional or easy to work with than Deborah Bouchard-Smith.
    With less than 2 weeks to go, I contacted Portsmouth Invitations to print Escort Cards and Table Numbers for my daughter’s wedding. They were perfect and Deborah made sure we had number holders as well !

    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!

    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!

She was very organized, detail oriented, and dedicated to ensuring we received exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. Communicating and working with her was both seamless and efficient, and one of the easiest, most stress-free steps in our wedding planning process. We appreciate all of her help and would highly recommend working with her!
