Daniela created the most beautiful save the dates, invitations, and day-of paper goods for us. She listened through multiple meetings and emails and executed our vision perfectly. ...
We got so many compliments on the mailings, the welcome sign and seating chart, custom cocktail napkins designed after our cats, and her artwork of our cats (on the drink signs) and our venue (on the invitation bellybands). She is a genius with color, drawing, design, and creating items that reflect the couple and pair beautifully with one another. I will continue to come back to Daniela for any and all design and stationary needs. She really pulled our wedding vision together and helped us leave a lasting impression on our guests. Thank you so much, Daniela!! Will update this review with some photos when we get our professional photos back!
Ashley at BVPC was absolutely incredible. Her talent is insane!!! We worked with her on our invitation suite as well as all of our day of stationary (bar signage, table numbers, we...
lcome signs, seating charts, all the things!) and were amazing at everything she designed for us. We had a few design meetings, where we provided as much guidance as we could (which was very little, given neither my husband nor I have the eye for design), and she would blow us away with the final products she came up with!!! She even hand drew pictures of our favorite locations for our seating chart and table numbers and they are drawings we will cherish forever. <3 We cannot recommend BVPC enough. Thank you Ashley for everything!
Ashley & her team were one of our most favorite vendors. The talent, patience and vision is amazing! Our save the dates, invites and day of paper goods were my favorite details of ...
our wedding. It's so worthwhile to work with talented professionals for your paper needs as it really sets the tone for your wedding and helps you hone in on what you want the whole day to look like. Highly recommend!
Start to finish, it was a pleasure to do all of our wedding stationery, paper and design with Bay View. We're all the way in New York and found their process to be so incredibly ef...
ficient. And of course their work is beautiful! We did letterpress save the dates, invitation suites, menus, as well as digital table numbers, drink signs, and escort cards. We also had a welcome sign, matchboxes and tote bags digitally designed so that we could have them printed locally. Everything was SO gorgeous and cohesive, Daniela is a wonderful designer and her work made our wedding even more beautiful.
I heard about Bay View Printing from another bride local to me in NJ, and while I was hesitant to not be able to see any products in person, I loved Ashley and her team's creative,...
untraditional work. I knew I wanted letterpress as it brings an elegant, formal touch to invitations without being gaudy or over-the-top, and we also had a fun color palette to bring to life in all our details so I knew Bay View was going to be the perfect company to deliver that. Ashley and Daniela worked with me on finding the perfect colors for our invite suite (and day-of paper goods), on choosing the right fonts and keeping our design minimalist yet impactful at the same time—all while having everything in both English and Catalan. All our guests loved how thick the card stock was and said they were the most beautiful invitations they've ever seen (and we couldn't agree more!). Bay View also did our day-of paper goods from menus and signage to matchbooks and beer labels. Everything was cohesive and perfectly in our citrus color palette. They even sent us the cutest thank you note in Catalan, which was just the cherry on top! They were so easy to work with, everything was delivered on time and in very neat, organized packaging. Cannot recommend them enough!!!
The Bay View team is a DREAM to work with! They are good people who make beautiful paper products. I love sending notes and cards (and have over 300 at home ready to send for any...
and every occasion!), so it was important to us as a couple to capture our love with gorgeous paper for our wedding day.
What we loved:
COMMUNICATION: Ashley, Scott, and the Bay View team are just wonderful people and great communicators. We asked a million questions, which they happily answered. We were those people who last minute had a few requests (sorry!), and they were on top of it and got back to us so quickly!
BEAUTIFUL WORK: Our save the dates, invites, details card, envelopes, escort card names, welcome sign, ceremony programs, and digital sign (for TVs at the venue) were beautiful! All of our paper goods were simply stunning. If you’re considering between online sites like Minted, Zola, etc., while they are pretty, nothing can compete with the vision that are Bay View products. From the embossing, to the paper, the fonts, the design, the gold foil…everything was so dreamy. We had so many compliments about how our invites were the loveliest our guests have seen! The small paper goods made a HUGE impact on the feel and beauty of our big day!
THEY GO ABOVE & BEYOND: For our escort cards, we wrote a note to each couple inside an envelope. While I was up in Milwaukee, I asked if I could grab the paper for the note cards to get a head start. They were so generous, kind, and helpful and came to the shop on their day off to drop them off for me even though they were at Home Depot. It meant so much to us that they went out of their way to help us out! For some of our last minute requests like ceremony programs and a welcome sign, they produced beautiful work quickly and didn’t make us feel bad for being so last minute with the requests.
GOOD PEOPLE: The folks at Bay View are just good people to work with. If you appreciate stunning, custom paper goods and enjoy working with a kind small business, then these are the people for you. We will be Bay View fans forever and hope to make it to a Drink & Ink and are excited to use them for future holiday cards!
Bayview printing made my Boho Disco invitations come to life in the absolutely best way. I was so excited to send them to our guests and received so many compliments on them. One...
of the best decisions I made during the wedding planning process and have recommended them to all of my newly engaged friends! Worth every penny!!
I can not even begin to express how THRILLED I am with our experience and invitations from Bay View Printing in words. Our wedding invitations are literal art. I have always wanted...
letterpress invitations for my wedding, and we came into this process not fully knowing what we wanted design-wise. Ashley jumped in and designed an absolutely gorgeous suite for us highlighting our venues unique, historic architecture and I could not be more impressed and happy with the final product. We received our invitations and I keep catching myself staring at them and touching them- the craftsmanship is absolutely stunning and my guests are all complimenting how beautiful they are. I can not recommend Bay View Printing Co enough!!!
The team at Bay View Printing Co is a dream to work with! Their design is top notch and so collaborative – I was able to show them inspiration images (including some abstract ideas...
about mulberrys) and what came back to us what spot on. Our design was very simple and timeless, but I love their more colorful and unique designs too. Plus they were incredible in producing a full booklet for my Episcopalian service (including footnotes), which were a labor of love for me personally. If you are passionate about printed goods and outstanding design, this is the team for you.
We love our invitations designed by Bay View Printing! They did such an amazing job of taking all our random ideas and thoughts during the initial meeting and turned them into such...
a unique, fun, and very "us" design for the Save the Dates, Invites, and Thank Yous. They were great to work with throughout the entire process and made it fun to create our personalized suite. We highly recommend them to anyone who wants to do something a little different and wants to be sure that their personalities are captured in the process!
Bay View Printing went above and beyond to create beautiful and unique invitations for our wedding! My fiancé and I didn't really know what we wanted going into our first meeting ...
and Ashley walked us through each design decision, providing helpful tips when we needed it. They took all of our suggestions and made a final product that was beyond what we were even imagining. They were communicative throughout the whole process and a pleasure to work with!
I don't even know where to start with my love and admiration for Bayview Printing Co. We asked Ashley to tackle all of our wedding stationary from Save the Dates to "Day Of" Statio...
nary to thank you notes and we were blown away at every turn. We weren't always the easiest clients, keeping her on her toes and evolving the style and feel that we wanted throughout the process and Ashley was gracious and totally receptive and completely captured our vision throughout the process. She is an amazing artist who perfectly captured our vision even when we had a hard time clearly expressing what we wanted/my husband and I have different tastes and so would very helpfully like different options that were presented to us. Our final product was just fantastic, incorporating our pup (who couldn't be at the wedding) in a really special way, and a drawing of the barn at the venue that was so gorgeous that our planner had to keep a copy of it for herself. And our planner does the vast majority of the weddings at our venue. Ashley is truly a boss lady, incorporating fun, creativity, and beauty into everything she produces on a unique 100 year old press. If all of this wasn't fantastic enough, she was also by far the most affordable of the stationers we were considering. As we have told her, we are clients for life, and will turn to her for any and all of our future stationary needs (she will be making our holiday cards this year). Whether you live in Milwaukee or not, I would highly encourage anyone to hire Bayview Printing Company for their wedding stationary needs!
I recently worked with Danielle and the team at Bay View and all I can say is amazing! I can't begin to explain how wonderful it was to work with such an incredible group of people...
who really care and love what they do. My fiance and I hired them to create our wedding invitations and when our wedding was postponed, Danielle easily transferred everything to our new date. I just couldn't wait to have her design something, so we asked her to create a "Save Our New Date" card and they were beyond words. Her incredible eye for detail left me speechless and I am in love with them! Not only was Danielle amazing to work with, she also felt like a friend I have known for ages! We haven't even met in person, but she completely understood my vision and was so personable on the phone. I can not wait for Bay View to create my wedding invitations next year and I will continue to recommend them to everyone I know!

elieved as a bride. Everything turned out beautifully - from my invitations to the table numbers, to the thank you notes. She perfectly captured my vision and I received numerous compliments from my guests on her timeless designs.
One of a kind invitations for a reasonable price!
Ashley and team were wonderful to work with! They tailored the design to fit our unique style and the final product was worth every penny!
I designed my wedding invitation suite myself but wanted letterpress and a very specific output to complete my vision. I was recommended this place by a friend who had heard great ...
things about it. OMG - these invitations came out so much better than expected. The whole process was amazing - the staff worked with me and my work hours, allowing me to arrive later to look at proofs and even pick them up when they were finished. They were so funny, kind, and caring - ensuring every detail was exactly as expected. Highly, highly recommend. I cannot wait to print MORE things with them!!
We could not be happier with the choice of Bay View Printing for our daughter's wedding invitations. The unique tactile feel of the letterpress printing, the quality of the paper ...
and great design made her invites a true keep sake.
Add to that, Danielle and Ashley are a dream to work with. If you're stressed about your wedding, just talk to them for a few minutes and everything will be just fine.
Lastly, you must do their Drink & Ink. What a BALL!!!
Thanks again for an outstanding job and the ease of working with you.

Danielle and the Bay View Printing team were an absolute pleasure to work. They created a seamless experience for us and tweaked our design until it was perfect. They really asked ...
good questions early on to get an idea for a design that came out flawlessly. Our guests have commented on how unique and cool our invitations were and we couldn't agree more. We cannot wait to frame ours and recommend them to everyone for their wedding or any paper needs.
The Gals at Bay View Printing were so great to work with!
As people were not necessarily wanting to get into the weeds on every little detail for our Wedding, we actually had so ...
much fun working on our Invites and Save the Dates with Danielle throughout the process. It started from the first meeting, wanting to get to know us as a couple, our aesthetic, our wedding, our story and seems genuinely excited about the challenge of designing and putting all together.
She was so patient with all of our back and forth emails and edits and ideas throughout the process and we were so happy with the results.
We have gotten such great reviews from our friends and family who all said how much they loved them and were actually excited to display them at home up until the wedding!
OH MY LANTA! There are not enough words to describe how pleased my fiancé and I are with our wedding invitations by Bay View Printing Co. With my fiancé's graphic design background...
, it was important to find a wedding invitation vendor that met his standards...Bay View didn't just meet those standards, they exceeded them! Working with Danielle was an absolute dream. She listened to what we wanted and turned it into something we never thought was possible. Our guests have been gushing over the details of our invitations, one couple even said it was the most elegant invitation they have ever received. Thank you for everything. My fiancé and I will definitely be using Bay View in the future! :)

We had the BEST experience working with Bay View Printing Co. I knew I wanted custom invitations but what Ashley and Danielle designed and produced for us exceeded everything I cou...
ld have imagined. I wasn't quite sure how to articulate my vision, but they were able to capture my very non-cohesive ideas so incredibly that the invitation suite and accompanying day-of-paper goods became the basis for our decor and the overarching theme to our wedding. With Bay View you get so much more than custom invitations. They were our absolute favorite vendor; professional, responsive, timely and their ability to create and print one-of-a kind, unique and personal designs is unparalleled. We would wedding plan a second time around just to work with Bay View again!
Working with Ashley and her team at Bay View Printing Co. was such a unique experience! We got all of our paper goods for our wedding from them and couldn’t have asked for more.

n their bio, they say, “No one knows your relationship, your love, your vision for your big day, like you do. It’s our job to sit down, listen to your story and bring that story to life on paper.” That is *exactly* what they do. From the beginning, Ashley listened to exactly what we wanted and the kind of vibe we wanted to go with for our wedding. We didn’t go the traditional ‘wedding suite’ route for our invitations and Ashley was more than accommodating to recommend the best way around that. She worked to make sure that we were comfortable and happy with every single detail on every single piece that we got from them and we ultimately couldn’t have been happier with the final outcomes of our products.
From the ceremony programs, to the favor tags, to the laser-engraved wooden sign we had gifted to us, Ashley and her team had their hard-working hands on every inch of our wedding from start to finish. We got so many compliments from the first save the date to the final thank-you card and couldn’t have asked for a vendor to give us a more personalized stationary experience. They really do listen to every request and will work as hard as possible to make sure that the final product is exactly your relationship and your vision for the big day.
Our designer worked with us to create the invitation suite of our dreams! We got exactly what we wanted, totally customized to our needs. The design work reflected our style and pe...
rsonalities. They stayed on top of the schedule and were proactive about seeking feedback and keeping us on task! I'd highly recommend this vendor and will be returning to them for other details.

ew we were at the right place. Danielle and Ashley were so much fun to work with and amazing at their jobs! They listened to what we liked and created beautiful designs based on our comments. In addition, it is truly a collaboration as they take any feedback and keep creating until you are extremely happy! Everything came out amazing and beautiful. We received a ton of compliments on our invitations and all of the paper goods on our wedding day. I am so happy we used Bay View Printing Co and would use them again in a heartbeat!
Bay View Printing is a true gem! We could not have been happier with how our save the dates and invitation suite came out. We worked with both Ashley and Danielle and they really t...
ook the time to discuss our personal styles and what we wanted to do. The hardest part is that they can honestly do anything you can imagine! We also love supporting a woman-owned business! We couldn't dream of working with a better team. All of our guests have gushed over their work, especially the quality and overall design. If you're looking for the most amazing invites and day-of stationary you honestly couldn't find a better design team than at Bay View Printing.

Ashley helped us develop our invites, programs, seat chart, menus, trivia, coasters, and thank-you cards. We've received so many compliments on our invites, all hand pressed from a machine from the 1800's so you could actually feel the depth of the paper.
They are truly the best!
Bay View Printing Co. is the BEST! My sister used them for her wedding invitations the year prior to my wedding so I was already aware of their raw talent. At first, I was hesitant...
to use them because I did not want to copy my older sister. However, when I got to meet Ashley & Danielle at a wedding vendor fair in Chicago I knew I did not have a choice! Every single invite they design is unique and very specific to their client. We worked with Danielle and we were so impressed. She seemed to really understand our style and what we wanted even though my husband and I were not even sure what we wanted in the beginning. We went through 3 or 4 drafts and she did it with no complaints because Bay View really wants you to love the design. We received so many compliments on our wedding invitations as well as our custom thank you notes we had made afterwards! It also helps that both Danielle and Ashley are kick-ass businesswomen who own their own shop and are slaying at it. Thanks so much, Danielle! We had a blast working with you.
We loved working with Bay View Printing Co. (and Ashley)! Ashley replied to all of our questions via email and typically within 24 hours each time. She was eager to meet with us to...
show all of the amazing work BVPC has done. We really feel like she took the time to get to know our story and that level of detail shows greatly in the finished product! BVPC created perfectly themed digitally printed signs for our wedding day and we proudly hang them in our house today. We also had BVPC create custom letterpress coasters, they were a huge hit!
Thank you Bay View Printing and Ashley!
Our favorite vendor of our entire wedding planning experience! They took our ideas and ran with them. Great attention to detail. They kept us on-schedule with everything!

at set the tone for our wedding and perfectly captured our personalities. We also had Ashley create day of paper goods and they were the perfect addition and really tied our whole theme together. Ashley was always quick at getting back to us and everything she created was done when she said it would be. We loved working with and supporting a local business that has a true passion for the printing process. We will cherish our Bay View Printing creations for years to come!
We worked with Danielle at Bay View Printing Co and she was seriously AMAZING!!! She was SO friendly and really "got" what we wanted for our design. My fiance and I live across th...
e country and it's not easy planning a wedding from afar, but Danielle made it easy as pie when it came to our invites! She was flexible, and so quick to respond to my emails and change things with the design to exactly what we wanted. We were on a time crunch and Bay View Printing was not only able to get our invites done by the deadline, but a couple days early! We've gotten multiple compliments on how elegant and beautiful our invites are. If you are hesitating, DON'T! They will take great care of you and you'll be so happy!!

t we placed around our reception. You know, 'here's our hashtag' and our memory candle and such. Because this was a last minute thought, I had a hard time finding a printing company that would print on black paper, but Bay View Printing to the rescue. They not only exceeded our expectations, but they did it quickly and beautifully! It was a simple project but one that I loved seeing out our reception.
We loved the whole process of working with Bay View Printing, from the design phase (they really listened to us and got to know us) to the selection of materials/colors to use, to ...
the finished product. They turned out exactly how we wanted and were unique to other invitations we had seen due to the hand-printing process. They were higher on the price side, but totally worth it. Highly recommend!
With a unique, artsy and Milwaukee-centric vision, my husband and I had the challenge of balancing our modern eclectic tastes with my parents traditional taste. Ashley was so wonde...
rful to work with as she patiently went through a number of iterations of designs to fulfill our vision and also make my parents happy. The quality and artistry that comes from Bayview Printing and the letterpress invitation style is truly one of a kind. I even had guy friends, who normally would not care about invitations, contact me to tell me how much they loved my invite and how perfect it was for my husband and I. It was also so fun to see the invitations come together on the Bayview Printing instagram story! While you may pay a little more for custom invitations, Bayview Printing is cost competitive with other custom invitations and you will have an experience you will never forget.
My wife and I were very happy with the design process and end result of our wedding invites and save the dates. Excellent value and money well spent.
We are so happy with our invites and got tons of compliments on them! Ashley was able to incorporate some watercolors that me and my husband worked on and that made them feel extra...

mantic invitation we dreamed of.
We removed one star because it was a little more pricey than we wanted, but were willing to pay because it is great quality, a great product, and the bride's mom is obsessed with them and says "An invitation sets the tone for the wedding. Embossing leaves a real 'impression'!" (Yes, mom is cheesy. We know lol).
I cant even begin to explain how AMAZING Ashley and the team at Bayview Printing Co are. All of their invitations are made on a 100 year old printing press. We did an all in one su...
ite, with invitations, rsvp cards/envelope, and weekends events card. The invitations added such a special touch to our wedding. All of our guests kept telling us how much they loved our invitations and how they were the best invites they have ever received. My aunt even said she carried it around with her leading up to the wedding to show people! The prices are similar to printing press invites on shutterfly, and we much rather give our money to a real person and local business.
Ashley took what we had in our heads and put it down on paper the most beautiful way possible. They also did all of our day of paper goods. Numbers, digital programs, bar signs, and the prettiest thank you cards. She even created a poster for our guests to sign out of an idea i had in my head. They are also LGBTQ friendly!
Bay View Printing is a truly amazing find! I was amazed at the work from Ashley and her team. Each piece told the story of us. I have received countless compliments on the uniquen...
ess of our paper goods and could not imagine them being any more perfect.
We worked Ashley and Danielle at Bay View Printing on our wedding invitations, programs, guestbook, table cards and thank you cards.
Initially, we met Ashley and Danielle at a we...
dding expo in Chicago and fell in love with their letterpressed designs. The whole process of working with them from initial design, customization, going back an forth with ideas, printing and delivery of the paper goods was amazing. One of the packages was left out in the rain by UPS and the box was soaked but Bay View had wrapped all their work in plastic and it was dry as a bone! We had another mixup on our end a few days before the wedding but Bay View got us another piece printed and sent overnight to us in time, truly exceptional service!
I can't recommend Bay View Printing highly enough. Their designs are beautiful, the finished product is exceptional and their customer service is unparalleled. I can't wait to stop by the shop when we're in Milwaukee again.
Ashley was an absolute creative genius with our wedding invitations. We sent her a few non-wedding, non-invitation-like images and she created up a whimsical, old-timey invitation ...
that was absolutely in alignment with our abstract vision. She came up with greenery and adorable bees (hand-drawn) and hand-lettered our names and just followed through on all of the little details that came up in our initial meeting. All of our guests have been telling us how much they adore the invitations. We were totally thrilled when we received her first draft, and making small edits to the text was a breeze. We had been considering more DIY or simple stock invitations from an online vendor but when we saw that Bay View Printing Co was a woman-run business in our own city, and with very comparable pricing, we knew we had to do it. I'm so glad we did! Ashley's design set the tone for the rest of our wedding.
Ashley was responsive and very professional. When we had to make some last minute adjustments she was quick to adapt. Wonderful to work with!
