timeless stationery documenting the most important day of your life
Wedding Invitations
Creating meaningful wedding stationery that will stand the test of time
After designing wedding invitations for more than 100 couples over the past few years, I’ve really come to value wedding invitation suites that are not only thoughtfully designed and beautiful, but are classic, timeless, and full of each couple’s personality.
The feeling you receive when working with me is most important. I want you to feel my love, care and attention when I am guiding you through the ins and outs of wording and etiquette, when sketching and designing invitations that show off your personality, and when I am meticulously assembling your wedding invitation suite with wax seals, silk ribbons, and all the works.
When your guest receives a beautiful envelope addressed to them, it’s like a special gift. They excitedly open the envelope to explore luxurious papers, hand-stamped wax seals, and fine silk ribbons. Together we create and share the anticipation and excitement your guests feel knowing they are invited to your wedding day — the event of the season!
Working with me, you will receive a stress-free experience that starts with mood boards and sketches and ends with the most beautiful pieces to mail to your wedding guests and to document the most important day of you life.
Not only will you receive meaningful wedding invitations, but you will receive more time to enjoy your engagement together because you have a professional wedding stationer handling every detail for you.

Wording & Etiquette
I help you every step of the way to make sure you are not offending anyone and your invitation suite is using proper etiquette.
Client Portal
Your client portal is the place for everything pertaining to your wedding invitations – contract, invoice, emails, forms, proofing, and a few special tips and guides to help you along the way.
Digital Mockup
Each proof you will receive a digital mock up to visualize your suite as a whole, plus individual images of each piece for you to review in greater detail.
Complimentary Revisions
All custom designs receive up to four proofs (most clients only use two). During this process, you can add embellishments like wax seals, vintage postage, silk ribbons, vellum wraps, and more to bring together your perfect wedding invitation suite.
All my couples who have to postpone due to Covid-19, receive an extra round of text revisions for wording, time, date, and venue changes.
Printing & Production
Once you approve your invitation for print, I send your pieces off to the professional printer to be printed on take high quality, thick paper. After I receive your wedding invitations, I look through them for quality control, complete any assembly as noted in your invoice, and package them up for you!
Shipping & Mailing
I offer assembly and mailing services for all couples. No need to worry about the long lines at US Post Office or the trickiness in applying correct postage, I take care of mailing your wedding invitations to your guests.
If you choose this service, I will assemble, stuff, seal, stamp, and mail your wedding invitations to your friends and loved ones.
If you would prefer to assemble yourself, I will package them up in one box. You have the choice to pick up from my studio or ship them to you via FedEx.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Nicole at Emery Ann Design is incredible- and even that is an understatement!
Nicole at Emery Ann Design is incredible- and even that is an understatement! If you are looking for any stationery of any kind for your wedding, Nicole will far exceed your expectations. From the moment we met, she laid out all the options and really got to know us and created the perfect letter pressed wedding invitations. We loved them so much we decided to have Nicole create all of our day of stationery – from ceremony programs to escort boards, to welcome signs, menu place cards, fun signs for the reception, sparkler tags and thank you cards.

Nicole has been the absolute BEST to work with!
Nicole has been the absolute BEST to work with! She was so friendly and helpful during the process especially because I had no idea what I wanted going into our first meeting. She was able to take every idea I had in my brain and work her magic into the most gorgeous invitations ever! She was so easy to work with.
