The team at Bethesda Fine Stationary (particularly Michelle!) are absolutely amazing. We had so many last minute changes with our venue location, details, attendee list, and more (COVID weddings...) and Michelle was so flexible and adaptable. ...

We were able to do a custom liner for the invitation envelope that my husband created and it was PERFECT. Michelle is so creative and did a beautiful job with our wedding invitation suite. From the invitation, to the RSVP card, the envelopes, calligraphy, and more. We were blown away! Thank you, Michelle and team. We could not have loved our beautiful stationary more for our wedding day.

I'm a Covid bride and Michelle was with me every step of the way from our initial postponement to changing our venue at the last minute, and then ultimately canceling until all of this is over. She kept all the changes organized and everything ...

moving smoothly. Pricing was always clear and reasonable given the beautiful quality of the paper items. Not to mention, we LOVED how everything turned out from the beautiful illustrations of DC landmarks on our save-the-dates to the cohesion of our invitation suite. Everyone complimented us on them! The options are endless and you really can't go wrong with BFS. She'll be the first person I reach out to when we're finally able to have a wedding celebration!

We are so pleased with all of our printed pieces from our recent wedding - all thanks to the amazing team at Bethesda Fine Stationary! From initial concept to the final printed product, we had an amazing time working with Alesia and Gretchen. T...

hey helped to bring our initial vision to life, in the form of a custom invitation suite and wedding day accessories (we are still receiving compliments on these pieces nearly six months after the fact!) From the styling of the envelopes, to our program fans, each piece was unique and given so much care. In addition, the printing was absolutely beautiful and preserved my custom watercolor work perfectly. Beyond the final product, we really enjoyed working with Alesia and Gretchen! Their professionalism and expertise with design and printing helped us tremendously. They were an absolute delight to work with and I already plan to return with all of my future printing needs!

I am so glad we used Bethesda Fine Stationary for our invitations and day of papers. Alesia designed our invitation and got our vision on the first try with one of her three designs. She then went on to design our program, menu, gift bag note ...

card, and escort cards. My only caution is that Alesia tends to over promise on deadlines. While we got everything on time, it did take some pushing and persistence to stay on schedule. I'd recommend using a cushioned timeline. Her work is beautiful and I would definitely use Bethesda Fine Stationary again.

I've been working with Gretchen and Alesia at BFS for a few months now on my wedding suite, and they've been amazing! We first met, with my fiancé, to go over the ideas we had about the wedding (colors, weekend schedule, aesthetics, etc). Once ...

they had that info, they pulled books for us to look through and we were able to narrow down what we liked! We ended up liking different parts of about 4 invitation suites. Instead of going through one of the templates, Gretchen and Alesia took what we liked and created a custom suite that we are SO in love with. Not only that, but they have helped come up with a ton of amazing ideas that we will be using throughout our wedding weekend - cute ideas for escort cards, menu cards, bins for "dancing shoes" and more! Plus, Alesia created a stunning, custom map of the island (destination wedding) for us to include in our welcome bags (which they designed and ordered for an amazing price!) Not only have they helped with the wedding items, but we ordered a gorgeous stationery through them for our thank you notes for all of the gifts, shower attendees, etc. that we've needed along the way!! They've made the process so easy and so enjoyable - we would recommend them to anyone!

Owner

Bethesda Fine Stationery had been a dream and finally a reality for me. My husband a commercial printer, owner of Print 1 of Bethesda Maryland,has a very talented graphic design team and can print anything you can think of. So it made perfect sense that as soon as my children had graduated and started their own careers, that I too would go back to work. Bethesda Fine Stationery was born. Now entering our 3rd year of business and we are so excited with the number of beautiful brides we have met & created custom invitation suites for. I am blessed with a very talented team.
