Anticipate Invitations

We had the privilege of working with Michael for our wedding invitations and day-of items for our June botanical garden wedding in NYC, and we couldn't be happier with the results. His attention to detail, calm presence and creativity truly made our stationery stand out. From the stunning invitations that set the tone for our special day to the beautifully coordinated day-of items (including menus, cocktail napkins, escort cards, a welcome sign and more), everything was truly flawless and of the highest quality. We trusted Michael’s design expertise and advice throughout our time working together and he immediately understood our floral, vintage-inspired vision. We were overwhelmed by all the compliments that we received on the final products, and many of our closest friends have now also worked with Michael for their weddings! Michael’s exceptional customer service made the entire process a breeze - he was highly responsive and open-minded to our feedback. We highly recommend Anticipate Invitations for the excellent work and added touch of elegance Michael brought to our wedding!

Michael was incredible to work with! From the moment I reached out, he was incredibly prompt and professional. I chose to move forward with something more in line with my budget, and ultimately went with the Acadia collection (pre-made wedding invitation suite) and was allowed to do a few very minor tweaks that made the suite a bit more "me". The entire process was super easy, and the invitations came looking and feeling so incredible. I've already received a few texts from friends who are so impressed with the invitations! I would recommend Michael and Anticipate Invitations to any bride. He offers so many options from fully custom to semi-customer, so there's ton of avenues to choose from.

Michael truly was amazing to work with! He was able to capture specific details of our venue and our pup Theodore to create a stunning watercolor invitation suite and itinerary card. We received many compliments from our guests on his beautiful work and can't recommend him enough if you want a beautiful design that you would cherish forever!

Michael is FANTASTIC!! He is so creative and makes beautiful work. He took all of our different ideas and made something so cohesive and perfect. His work truly tied our wedding together. We got so many compliments on our invitations and day-of goods, and we are so happy we hired Anticipate! Do not hesitate to choose Anticipate!

Michael's work is absolutely stunning and great quality and value. His communication was clear and consistent, and he offered great advice on layout and timeline. I worked with him for nearly a year as COVID got in the way of our wedding date a few times. He stayed in touch and was patient through the entire process. I could not be happier with the end product. Would 100000% recommend him and use him again.

Michael is truly the best to work with for your invitation needs! We sought him out when we were looking to make our third round (and final round) of wedding invitations (#COVIDsucks). We wanted something refined, but cheeky, and reflected our personality. This felt weird to request because we weren't sure any custom invitation artist would get our vision... but Michael got it, ran with it, and EXCEEDED our expectations. His communication was clear and consistent throughout the entire process. The end result blew us out of the water and ultimately these invites are by far our favorite. From the design to the end product everything was 10/10. We know our guests when they open these invites will be in awe! If you want authentic invitations that are beautiful and an artist who can truly capture what you are looking for, Michael without a doubt is your guy.

I cannot say enough great things about Anticipate Invitations. Living in Philadelphia, I was at first hesitant working with someone in another state but that fear was quickly out the door when I began speaking with Michael. Throughout the whole process Michael was extremely responsive and truly made our vision come to life. The moment I saw our proof, my jaw dropped; I was in awe with how beautiful his work was. Many of our friends and family have stated that our invitation was the most beautiful they have ever seen!

Anticipate Invitations is absolutely phenomenal! We had the pleasure of working with Michael on our full invitation suite, wedding day materials, and post-wedding thank you cards. He is an absolute joy to work with, and makes the process of creating a custom design really easy, fun, and engaging. He brought our vision of a romantic Tuscan wedding to life - his artwork is not only beautiful but also emotive. He connected our guests to our wedding venue in a special way through his rustic color palette and design that revealed a strong sense of place. We loved every part of the journey. Grazie mille!!

Anticipate Invitations helped us create the wedding invitation suite of our dreams. I found Michael/Anticipate Invitations on Instagram (@anticipateinvitations). I absolutely loved his style and work. We had a pretty general idea of what we wanted - a clean, contemporary style with a watercolor map. But beyond that, had little detail to provide him and little experience with invitiations and the terminology/options associated. Michael is so talented. Beyond that (and just as important!) is how easy he is to work with. He is incredibly responsive, creative, and provided a ton of important guidance along the way. When we settled on the final vision he gave us updates every several days to ensure he was on the right track with the design. He designed us a 5 card suite - A custom watercolor map of the area, a stunning invitation card with an illustration of the church, an Events Card, a Details Card, and an RSVP card with a custom watercolor illustration on it. Michael also does a great job keeping his Instagram fresh with new events and invitation suites. HIGHLY recommend Michael and Anticipate Invitations - he is SO talented and such a pleasure to work with.

It had been a dream of mine to use vintage postage on my wedding invitations and the collections at Anticipate Invitations totally made that dream a reality! The stamps are beautiful and great quality. They give you everything you need to make a lovely arrangements. When I had questions and concerns about my order, Michael was available via email the entire time, and provided amazing customer service. I would recommend them 10000x over. Thank you!

I'm not exactly sure how I came upon Michael and Anticipate Invitations, but it was certainly fate. I can't say enough great things about how our Save the Date cards and wedding invitations came out! Michael is such a creative thinker, his work is tasteful, meaningful, gorgeous; he captured everything we were looking for and more. The quality of the invites is fantastic, our interactions were thoughtful, he's so responsive. I could go on and on. If you are looking for a really unique and beautiful invitation that truly can not be duplicated elsewhere, please do yourself a favor and go with Michael and Anticipate!

My husband and I found Michael's work through Pinterest and are so happy we did! He did the invites for our New Year's Eve wedding. They were the perfect mix of quirky and elegant and we still get compliments to this day (they are also framed in our apartment...). Michael was incredibly receptive to all of our ideas and revisions and went back and forth with us multiple times while we got it right (I can be very particular!). He also works with you on finding a price point you are comfortable with and is all around just a pleasure. Could not recommend more! Definitely check out his website and instagram to see his beautiful work.

Where to begin? I stumbled onto Michael's work on Instagram (thank goodness!). Somehow, he was able to take all of the ideas in my head and PERFECTLY translate them into our wedding invitations and signature cocktail signs. He is creative, flexible and so, so quick to respond. Even when the Houston flooding was going on, he was kind enough to let me know he was going to be delayed. (I mean, whaat!!! Above and beyond). Invitations were my "splurge" and I wanted something special to set the tone of the wedding weekend and he made that possible. So many of my guests have sent pictures and texts saying how perfect the beautiful and invitation are. We will treasure his work forever and recommend Anticipate to anyone looking for an original design!

don't believe 5 stars is enough for Michael and Anticipate Invitations! If you have come across Anticipate Invitations as an option for your invitations, wedding day stationery, or other needs, there is absolutely no reason to keep looking! He is INCREDIBLE! I wish there were more categories in which I could brag about his services! He works with your budget in mind and strives to match or surpass your vision! As for responsiveness...He blows that out of the water and has the FASTEST service! I'll be honest, invitations weren't a huge priority for me in my wedding planning but with Michael, they became one of my favorite parts! Choose Anticipate Invitations... you will love yourself for it :) Thank you so much Michael!

Michael was amazing to work with! He was able to take my vision and create beautiful invitations, as well as matching welcome booklets and wedding programs. I loved his designs and his creativity helped to make our wedding truly unique.
