Alicia was amazing to work with. She met with us in the beginning to understand our vision and truly blew us away with the end result. She even was able to reprint an invitation for photos and our menus when our venue had to change due to Hurri...

Alicia did an incredible job designing our invitations and day of paper goods! Extremely professional, responsive, and kind. She met with us to go through all of the beautiful options and made fantastic recommendations. We were so pleased with ...
how everything turned out!
Working with Alicia was a dream come true for my wedding invitation suite! I had tried going the online company route, but became very frustrated with the limited customization options (ability to change wording, fonts, colors, etc). Alicia wor...
ked very quickly with me on designing and delivering my invitation suite since I was coming down to the wire on having to get them sent out and had not found anything I had loved. From our initial phone conversation, I was so happy to hear that Alicia would be able to customize everything as we wanted - the wording, the colors, the pieces in our suite, etc. I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about working with Alicia and was extremely pleased with our final invitation suite. The invitations are timeless and are better than I could’ve even imagined at the beginning. Alicia was also a great resource on learning proper etiquette for the invites and any other questions I had arise. You will not go wrong working with A&P!
Any questions?
From the beginning, Alicia was amazing to work with! My husband and I met with Alicia in 2019 to discuss designs for our save the dates and invitation suite. There were tons of different styles, colors, patterns, and designs to choose from so w...

Alicia was amazing to work with and I loved my invitation suite! The quality of the paper, printing, and packaging was awesome. We got so many compliments on our paper products and Alicia really understood my vision. Additionally, she was patie...

e! From save the dates (and re-prints due to COVID), to the invitations, to hotel welcome bags, weekend detail booklets (including another water color, an area map), and day of paper goods, our paper suite was cohesive and well received. Not to mention, we felt her prices were very fair given the work she put in! You will not go wrong working with Alicia!
Our wedding invitations came out perfectly! Alicia did a great job making my vision come to life. Her communication was lacking from time to time which was not good for someone as type A as myself.
Beautiful invitations. So responsive and made sure we understood how long these took so everything was ordered and done on time. Invites came out exactly the way I wanted. They were quick to reply and make any adjustments we asked for.
I found A&P Design Co on Instagram and was blown away by their designs and customizations. Alicia is incredible to work with as she is responsive, professional, and full of design suggestions. The prices were extremely reasonable and worth ev...

Alicia also created our programs and seating charts carrying the same design for an overall cohesive look to our day. The process was simple and communication was good the whole time. Overall, very satisfied and would recommend!
Incredible! I was totally satisfied with every element of our wedding stationery. Alicia is very talented and has wonderful suggestions and pairings. She created a watercolor painting of our venue to use in our invitation suite! The personaliza...

I used Alicia for my Save the Dates, invitations, seating chart, table numbers, menus, and signs for around the reception. I absolutely love her work. She does letter press and foil letter press for such a reasonable price. I received so many c...
ompliments about my invitations which is so great considering I designed with her while I was out of state and unable to see in person. She’s an artist but professional. Cannot recommend enough.
A&P makes beautiful invitations, but their communication is lacking. We met with Alicia in the studio but then worked with Patricia. Somehow in between working with these two women, many details were lost. Definitely check all invoices to make ...
sure that the details you requested are included and that other details were not added. We also noticed some basic math errors in our invoice. In the end, all was corrected, but it was not a seamless process. Fixing all of these errors also added to the production timeline, which was frustrating, and we had not accounted for going back and forth so many times. The finished result was beautiful, but the experience of working with A&P was not easy. They also did not mention the purpose of the paper lining in the invitations (to reduce smearing), which had we known, we would have added.
My invitations were amazing!! They do a beyond phenomenal job. I would highly recommend them and plan on using them again in the future!
If you are looking for quality invitations, this is the place! Very friendly and professional couple to work with. Exceptional and beautiful work! Thank you!
A&P is absolutely fabulous!! Alicia and her husband own and run the business themselves and hand-print each invitation themselves. They also custom design EVERY single piece and put plenty of thought, care and attention into every detail. The p...
rices are also very competitive. I fell in love with letterpress when I first started looking at wedding invitations, but could not afford the steep prices of most places. Alicia custom designed letterpress invitations for me at a price point lower that the quotes I was getting for some thermography designs elsewhere. I LOVED how gorgeous my invitations turned out, and I actually ordered matching Thank Yous and ceremony programs from Alicia as well! Alicia was also very quick to respond by e-mail at all times, and was always very flexible about meeting me to pick out papers, approve the design, and pick everything up. I cannot say enough good things about A&P, and I would recommend them to anyone in the country!
I used A&P for all of my stationary. My save the dates, invites, day off stationary, signage, table numbers, place cards etc.
When I originally came to them about my invites I had a little idea of what I wanted. Alicia took what ideas I h...
ad and made it even better! I had so many people tell me that my invites were so different than your normal invite. So many told me that my invites were their favorite invites they had seen.
They turned out better than I would have ever expected.
Everything they did was AMAZING!! Alicia was so great to work with. Anything I needed she helped me with. With her and Patricks work they truly helped to make my wedding design amazing and very me! :)
I will definitely use them again and recommend them to others.
I was referred to Pat and Alicia by a personal friend. It was one of the best decisions I made to use them for not only the wedding invitations, but also the table numbers, programs, and props for the reception.
A side note, the mother of t...
he groom used A&P also for the rehearsal dinner and cocktail party.
Alicia and Pat have a flair for creativity; we received multiple compliments on the elegance of the inviation they designed. High quality and custom design without having a book put in front of you to pick out of. I liked the fact that our invitations will be like no others. You don't get that when picking from a book. I like that you can order any quantity. I LOVED the fact that they are done on the premises.
We were even able to come down to choose what shade of gold we wanted on the invitation!
I will definitely use Pat and Alicia again. They deserve the highest of recommendations!!
I was very satisfied with everything from A&P. Alicia is great and really listens to what you are looking for an is able to capture the feeling of your event. For letterpress invitations this is the best value around!!! They look so beautiful :...

I can't even begin to explain how grateful I am for A&P designs! I was the typical bride who had NO idea what I wanted and Alicia was absolutely wonderful at guiding me to the invitations of my dreams! Time and time again she created custom de...
signs until I was completely happy. They came out perfect and even months after my wedding I am still receiving complements on our stationary.
Working with A&P designs you will not receive your typical invitations but you will get one of a kind hand crafted stationary that cannot be matched anywhere else! They even let my dad hand draw aspects of the invitation and then letterpresses it in!
In addition to the amazing work they have great calligraphy contacts which helped bring my invitations together! I could not have imagined working without A&P designs and would (and do) recommend them to anyone! I will be using them again in the future without a doubt!
My wedding stationary turned out beautifully thanks to A&P Designs. Alicia was so great to work with (even though I'm in NYC and she was in FL)! She managed to create a look that was one-of-a-kind and exactly what I wanted. I could not have ...
been more pleased with the final product! She was not only creative, but patient, responsive and accommodating! I could not have asked for a better vendor to work with for my big day! I would highly recommend reaching out to this vendor for your wedding..their work speaks for itself!
This husband and wife team are creative and professional. This is the one aspect of my wedding that I felt most confident and excited about. It was truly a great first impression of our wedding. Just about every one of our guests complimente...
d our invitations. Our day of stationary at the actual wedding was unique and beautiful. Alicia listened to what I wanted and guided me to exactly what I envisioned. I feel so lucky to say that I didn't pick my stationary from a catalog that someone else may have used.
I searched everywhere online for quality and affordable letterpress invitations. Every place I looked, seemed way overpriced or every change of a format had a high cost to it. I came across A&P designs through ETSY and fell in love with one o...
f their designs - her pricing was competitve or even a little less than other shops similar and she was able to provide full pricing up front - so I knew how much everything would cost. We wrote back and forth daily regarding my vision and she was happy to provide numerous versions of the design so I could really figure out which I liked best (different fonts, formats, colors, etc..). Everything was done so timely and when I got the box in the mail, I was ecstatic - the proofs were great, but in person, the invites were beautiful! Letterpress is a high-end way to deliver invitations and I didn't have to spend 2k to get exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend A&P and will certainly use them again!
This company did my wedding and bridal shower invitations. The owner met with us to get a feel of what we wanted and how to make them perfect, and perfect they were. I received SO many compliments on my invitations. This company did an amazing ...
job. I highly recommend them.
Alicia was VERY patient with me as we worked through the iterations of both the save the dates and the invitations. She never complained about any changes I requested and quickly turned around the proofs. She would make herself available around...
my schedule. Our invitations were letterpress and she had some very cool ideas on how to make our invites unique. She also did our programs and table numbers and it was great to have everything so cohesive with the look and feel of the wedding. We also created CDs that were placecards as well as favors, and Alicia was critical in getting the design done, and she assembled all 110 CDs that had custom spines and covers to indicate our guests' names and tables. In the end, we got a lot of compliments on all of it and I was very happy with the process. Alicia is a very hard worker, she would bend over backwards to make her brides happy and you can't ask for much more than that.

I couldn't be happier I chose Seaside Invitations to make our invitations for our wedding. The end product was far better than I could have ever imagined and expected. Our passport invitations were a total hit with our friends and family. Alici...
a is the nicest person to work with, and I love her professionalism. I did a lot of research before I decided whom I wanted to make my invitations and Seaside Invitations was the best choice. The price was right and the quality of the product was great. One of my favorite part was that she is local and I met with and picked up my invitations personally. I will definitely contact her first when I have any paper needs.
I found Alicia on etsy as I was planning our wedding. After visiting all the old invitation standards (papyrus, paper source) and some local spots, we realized that we wanted custom invitations. I couldn't find anything I liked locally, so I ...
checked on etsy - and I am so glad that I did!
Alicia is extremely talented and VERY flexible and responsive. I had a design in my mind and she was able to take that idea and make it a reality. Alicia did our save the dates, invitations, reply cards and our table markers. Everyone loved the unique design and how every small detail had the same design.
Thank you Alicia for your hard work! In a couple years we will need you to do our baby announcements :)
My save-the-dates are still being talked about! I was an out of town bride and I met with Alicia via phone lots of times. She was so helpful and took the time to understand what my vision was. I ended up doing "boarding pass" tickets because my...
wedding was out of state. They were so awesome and looked so much like a real plane ticket. This type of save the date is more expensive, but she worked with me to get it to a level I was comfortable with.
I would definitely recommend her!!!
I met with Alicia from Seaside Invitations to discuss my wedding invitations. Alicia brought numerous samples and helped me with envisioning my 'look'. I went with letterpress invites in 5 different sizes (main invite, accommodations, rehearsal...
dinner, reception and reply card). I own an ad agency so my designer worked closely with Alicia to determine specs and colors. She met with us here at my office many times and was always very accessible due to my busy schedule. I just got the invites last week and LOVE them - they are perfect and more than I had expected. I can't wait to get them in the mail!
Thank you Alicia!

s develop our style and theme for our wedding and was super patient with us through each step of the process. Every design we received was created with impeccable taste and incredible attention to detail.

I feel so lucky to have spectacular, custom invitations that received countless rave reviews from our guests. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience as it has been my favorite part of planning our wedding and the element I have never worried about. I will continue to use Seaside Invitations for our note cards and for gifts for friends and family

d have had many compliments from all of my guest on how beautiful they are. At first I was not sure what I really wanted, but Alicia knew exactly what I had in mind and helped asked me the right questions to find exactly what I would like. I couldnt be happier with the way they turned out and look foward to the same results for my wedding invites. I am confident that they will turn out beautiful.
I stumbled upon Seaside Invitations while searching for ideas on etsy. After contacting Alicia and telling her about what I had envisioned, she sent me some samples and quote and I did not hesitate to say print! I had wanted a tree to be our ...
main focus/trademark. She had her team hand designed a few trees for us to choose from. Alicia was able to incorporate the tree into all of our items, even the last minute table numbers I requested!
Our guests have raved about our invites and our wedding map since the day they got them in the mail! I had many guests compliment the design of the wedding and many of them said "Even from the beginning your invites were amazing". All credit to Alicia and her team.
I have really enjoyed working with Alicia, she really helped us design the original invite I have always dreamed about. I will definitely use her business for any future "paper" items I may need!
Seaside invitations offered me a one-on-one experience that I could not find any where else. They were dedicated to making my invitations special and unique- they also stayed in communication with me throughout the entire process. My invitation...

I had wanted colorful, non-traditional invitations for my wedding, and Seaside Invitations delivered the perfect product! I met with the designer and she asked questions and made suggestions for almost an hour, then a few days later sent me se...
veral different designs to choose from. She worked with me on wording, font, paper texture, and even met with me again to make sure that the finished product was perfect before she printed everything. Her prices were less expensive than any other professional printer, for full-color, and she included textured paper, colored envelopes, and individualized design into her price. My invites have butterflies and pinwheels and look like nothing else out there. Thank you, Seaside Invitations!
I randomly found Seaside Invitations while on Etsy.com. I was considering creating my wedding invitations myself and contacted Alicia regarding her monoLOVEgram. She created a few samples for me and while emailing back and forth she suggested s...
ending me a quote that included her costs, shipping, etc. I was amazed at how cost-effective her quote was and immediately decided to go with her. I'm so glad I did - she ended up creating our invitation suite, place cards and programs. She was extremely easy to work with, and the final results were amazing. I so happy I found her!
I'm getting married in Clearwater Beach, FL but I live in Milwaukee, WI. I found Seaside Invitations through my sister because she used them for her wedding invitations and programs. Her Invitation is called the Natalie Invitation on their webs...
ite: http://www.seasideinvitations.com/collections/wedding/natalie-invitation. I chose them to do my Save the Dates because they have unique hand painted beach themed designs and I wanted to be different than sending out plain, traditional announcements. For my Save the Dates they designed a postcard where they painted a beautiful blue colored beach scene for the background and added our names and location of the wedding on the front. Then
on the back had more information and room where my fiance and I could handwrite a personal message if we wanted to. They also designed a message in a bottle with a elegant label on the front with sand and shells inside along with a rolled piece of paper with our wedding information. I went with two different save the dates because I couldn't decide on one. I only sent the message in a bottle to my close family, some friends, and bridal party (because of cost) and the postcard to the rest of my guests. I mailed 45 message in a bottles and 80 postcards. Here is a picture of my Save the Dates message in a bottle: http://tweetphoto.com/31919286. I received a lot of compliments on my Save the Dates from my guests and that's what I was going for.
Also my bridesmaids used Seaside Invitations for my Bridal Shower invitations. It was a beach themed shower and they created cute luggage type tag invitations. Here is a picture of that as well: http://tweetphoto.com/29688240
(My invitations were featured twice on their Twitter Photo account!)
I highly recommend using Seaside Invitations for all of your wedding stationary needs. They are wonderful to work with especially since I live so far away. They were in constant contact through email and were easily available by phone. They work hard in creating customized styles to fit your wedding motif and I can't wait to work with them in designing my wedding invitations, programs, thank you cards, and more.
I was really happy with the magnet "save the dates" that Alicia and her company designed for me! She was great to work with and both my fiance and I are really happy with the magnets. We can't wait to send them out to friends and family. She...
gave us several options/ideas while still making sure we felt that the save the dates were personal and representative of us. I would highly recommend Seaside Invitations!
Alicia designed my save the dates for my wedding as well as wedding party cards to invite the people we wanted to include in our wedding party. I was very pleased with the design. She was very quick and efficient with getting the projects done ...
and available for me to send them out to my guests. I am very happy with this company! :)
