After I get a good idea about what you are looking for and can take into account the type of printing, handwork, and custom illustration and type, I will put together a timeline and a rough estimate based on your quantity and type of invitation your are looking to create. To start, please e-mail me with some information about your event and dates and if you have any ideas so far for your invitations. Then I will contact you to discuss further.

Cary was wonderful! She created the perfect invitations for our wedding. We had gone through all of the sites on-line but couldn't find anything that we liked. Cary created our own unique invitations. She was responsive and worked quickly to get us the invitations that we wanted. She uses high quality paper and the colors came out beautifully! I highly recommend her!

We love Cary! Such a wonderful artist, so easy to work with. I had a few ideas for save-the-dates and invitations (ie. color scheme, style, etc.), but as a bride-to-be who was completely new to the wedding planning process, not to mention a busy, full -time medical student, I really, really appreciated the creative suggestions that Cary was able to provide. After meeting with her once at her home studio (which was gorgeous - right away, I knew we were in good hands!), we had several phone conversations and e-mail correspondence as we worked together to decide on design and wording for our wedding paper. Everything turned out just beautifully, and we received so many compliments on how beautiful and unique our invitations and save-the-dates were. Cary, thank you so much for all of your help and artistry, and we will definitely recommend you to any of our friends and family who might be wedding planning in the Cville area!

We had such an amazing experience working with Cary! She designed beautiful save-the-dates, invitations, reply cards and envelopes for our upcoming wedding. We met with Cary and talked about the style that we were going for, and she took care of the rest. So pleased with how everything has turned out - and we have received so many compliments on her gorgeous artwork! Very happy to recommend Cary to anyone!!

I first saw Cary's work on tumbled marble coasters. She still makes these great creations, but has also expanded her products to include delightful paper goods and crafts (like printed bottles!). Aside from her great creations, she's great to work with too!
