I worked with Albertine Press for letterpress menus, place cards, and custom stationary for my recent small wedding. Both Shelley and Jen were incredible to work with. They were bo...
th so easy to communicate with along every step of the process over email as well as in person. After I inquired about their offerings, they sent me some samples in the mail which was very helpful! I met with Shelley in-person and she was such a dream to work with. She showed me more samples and even drew some ideas by hand for the menus. The final products were so beautiful and exactly what I was hoping for. Albertine Press does beautiful work and I look forward to working with them in the future for more custom stationery!
Albertine Press designed such a gorgeous invitation for our wedding weekend. Shelley and Jen were nothing but professional and easy to work with throughout the entire process. Unfo...
rtunately, I was never able to meet them in person but am forever grateful for how seamless the stationary process was for our event. 100% worth the investment. THANK YOU!
Albertine Press curated the most gorgeous invitation suite for my dream Newport wedding. Shelley is so talented; she sketched an outline of Rosecliff within minutes during our firs...
t meeting and made my vision come to life. The beautiful gold foil mansion on our Save The Date certainly set the tone for our wedding. We followed up our Save The Date with beautiful, classic, timeless invitations. We used a stunning navy ink to compliment the gold foil. Shelley even sketched the famous St. Mary's Church perfectly to include on our details card. All pieces together truly seemed like a work of art. Before meeting Shelley, we had looked into an invitation company in RI. I have to say that Shelley is not only more down-to-earth, her prices are much more affordable, even though you are getting letterpress printing. I would highly recommend Albertine Press for your invitation needs!
I have been a fan of Albertine Press for years - it is my go-to for unique cards and small gifts - so I had to reach out when it came time to look at options for wedding invitation...
s. Shelley was so easy to work with, even in the middle of pandemic! She outlined several options within our budget and after an initial (and very thorough!) Zoom call, we landed on a beautiful design.
We were really appreciative of Shelley's guidance, particularly when we had to change our original wedding plans. Shelley gave us some great ideas on how to communicate everything in our invitation-turned-announcement. And after a few rounds of feedback, we ended up with announcements and thank you cards that we couldn't be happier with! Our family and friends loved them too.
I would highly recommend Shelley and her team. Albertine is worth every penny!
Shelley is the best. She made a beautiful invitation suite for our NH seaside wedding. She custom drew an anchor with flowers cascading down it for the invitation which was perfect...
. So many people commented on how beautiful our save the dates and invitations were. I highly recommend!
The invitations, reply cards, programs, and escort cards for our daughter’s wedding had both a timeless feel, but also reflected this particular couple. They were very beautiful. ...
Albertine was very responsive, worked with us on multiple iterations with quick turnaround and a helpful attitude. Highly recommend.
Albertine Press is one of a kind. Shelley and Ellen made my vision come to life and they did it with such ease. They are not only extremely talented but most importantly they are p...
assionate about what they do. I was very nervous at our first meeting with Shelley because I was unsure about what I wanted although I knew I wanted my wedding invitations to be something special and memorable. Shelley was so excited to start planning with us which put me right at ease. We planned everything together from start to finish and the end result turned out to be the most gorgeous wedding invitation I have ever seen. They took into account every aspect and detail I wanted to incorporate and allowed me to make many changed to the proof with no delay in response or complaint. They also created our wedding day programs to match the invitations. We received feedback from many of our guests about how gorgeous the invitations were. I truly cannot thank Shelley and Ellen enough for creating something so special and personal for our wedding day. Our invitations are something I will hold dear to me for the rest of our lives. They are already framed in our house!

y! If we were ever unsure, Shelley didn't hesitate to invite us into the shop to check out options in person too. The invitations looked incredible!!!
Shelley also gave us lots of helpful tips with regards to calligraphers and local vendors to use for complementary pieces for our invites (organic ribbon that looked amazing with the paper she Shelley uses!) I am shocked more people have not reviewed Albertine. They are quick, and their work is amazing.
Albertine Press worked with us on very short notice to design our invitations, reply cards, and thank you notes on very short notice. Shelley nailed our vague design ideas (someth...
ing austere and wintry, but cute) and her team cranked it out. These are more expensive than traditional invitations but everyone loved them.
And their studio space has a fantastic chocolate aroma from neighbor Taza Chocolate.
