Personalized Stationery & Custom Invitations
Illustrated invitations and paper goods for weddings, baby showers, birthdays, holidays, corporate events, and everything in between. Every piece is original artwork designed around your event, your style, and your story. No templates. No clip art. Just your vision, illustrated by hand.
Custom Stationery for Every Occasion
Whether you're planning a wedding, celebrating a new baby, hosting a corporate event, or sending holiday cards that actually get kept, I create illustrated stationery that makes the moment feel as intentional as it is.

Business & Corporate Stationery
Illustrated business stationery including corporate event invitations, branded notecards, letterhead, and thank-you cards. If your brand has a visual identity I created, the stationery can be designed to match. If not, I'll work with your existing brand guidelines.

Baby Shower Invitations
Custom illustrated invitations for baby showers with artwork that matches your theme, nursery, or just the personality of the parents-to-be. These are keepsake pieces, not printables from the internet.

Holiday Cards
Custom illustrated holiday cards for families and businesses. These are the cards that don't end up in the recycling bin. For businesses, custom holiday cards double as a brand touchpoint that shows clients and partners you put thought into the details.
Wedding Invitations & Suites
Hand-painted, illustrated wedding invitations designed around your venue, your aesthetic, and your love story. Full suites include save-the-dates, invitations, RSVP cards, detail cards, menus, programs, and day-of signage. I work with you from concept through print production, and every element is coordinated so the suite feels like a complete work of art.
This is where Pip & Cricket started, and it's still one of my favorite things to create. I'm selective about the wedding projects I take on because each one gets my full attention from start to finish.
Why Custom Illustrated Stationery?
There's no shortage of invitation websites offering templates you can customize with your names and date. That's not what this is. When you work with me, you're commissioning original artwork. Your invitations are illustrated from scratch based on your story, your venue, your colors, your aesthetic. Nobody else will ever have the same design.
The difference shows up in the details: hand-painted florals instead of stock vectors, a custom venue illustration instead of a generic silhouette, watercolor washes that match your exact color palette instead of the closest available preset. These are pieces people frame after the event.

How to Get Started
I take on a limited number of stationery projects at a time so I can give each one the attention it deserves. If you have an event coming up, the best time to reach out is 4 to 6 months before your send date for invitations, or 8 to 12 months before for full wedding suites.
Start by telling me about your event: the date, the vibe, any colors or themes you're drawn to, and what pieces you think you'll need. I'll follow up with questions and we'll figure out the right scope together. Not sure what you need? That's completely fine. Most clients start the conversation with a general idea and we shape it from there.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
For wedding suites, I recommend reaching out 8 to 12 months before your wedding date. For other events (baby showers, birthdays, corporate events, holiday cards), 4 to 6 months is ideal. These timelines account for the design process, revisions, and print production. Rush timelines are sometimes possible depending on my schedule, so don't hesitate to ask.
-
A full suite typically includes save-the-dates, invitations, RSVP cards, detail/enclosure cards, and envelopes. Many couples also add menus, programs, place cards, and day-of signage. We'll talk through what you need during the discovery phase, and I can recommend what makes sense for your event and budget.
-
Yes. Custom venue illustrations are one of the most popular elements in my wedding suites. I work from photos and reference images to create a hand-painted illustration of your venue that becomes the centerpiece of your invitation design.
-
Templates give you pre-made layouts where you swap in your text and colors. Custom stationery means every element is designed from scratch for your specific event. The illustration, the layout, the typography, the color palette: all of it is yours. Nobody else will have the same design. If you want something that feels personal and becomes a keepsake, custom is the way to go.
-
Yes, I prefer to handle the printing of my custom stationery designs, and ship to you! I don't print in-house, but I manage that relationship so you don't have to worry about the technical details.
Printing is included in the quote when you reach out.
-
Absolutely. I design custom invitations and paper goods for baby showers, birthdays, graduation parties, corporate events, holiday cards, and more. The process is the same: we start with your vision and I illustrate it into something you'll be proud to send.
-
No. Pip & Cricket designs personalized stationery for all occasions including weddings, baby showers, birthdays, holidays, corporate events, and everyday personal correspondence.
