I am profoundly disappointed with your company's service regarding my wedding invitations. Brides should be aware that ordering through your company is a significant waste of time ...
& $$ due to consistent unresponsiveness and a complete lack of customer care. After being provided an invalid tracking # I have repeatedly attempted to locate my order through numerous emails and Etsy messages, only to be ignored for weeks. I finally received an email stating that my order was being held by customs, with no estimated delivery or commitment for further updates. Another week has passed since then, during which I have sent additional emails and left voicemails urgently seeking an update, as my wedding date is fast approaching. Despite my persistent efforts, I have received no response. I am so upset with the lack of care or concern shown.

The BEST experience I've had in my entire wedding planning so far. These invites made me jump with excitement when I saw them in person. I admired them for longer than I am willing...
to admit. They were such a smash hit with my wedding guests that I invited. The mother of the groom sent me this text: "My friend who has gone to many, many weddings said your invite is the most beautiful one she ever saw." Not only does this company create gorgeous artwork, they also have stellar customer service. They were patient with my many revisions and made everything look exactly as I asked. They were extremely quick with their responses. I would give them 1000 stars if I could!! Thank you for making one of my wedding dreams come true! <3

stamp the envelopes and get them to the post office. My fiance and I are both thrilled with the outcome and can't wait until our guests receive them. They're so beautiful!

Do the invitations look great? Yes! However, I would never order again. They ended up being deemed "unmachinable" by USPS because they're not remotely flat, and 40% was lost, 50% r...

Our wedding invitations came out GORGEOUS!!
They're perfect for our NYE art deco themed wedding, and I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience..

nsive and easy to work with.
Kate was extremely patient with me, even through font/design changes and last-minute updates to the guest mailing address list. The package arrived and there was clearly extra care taken to ensure the invitations weren't damaged in transit. 10/10 would order from here again, and I have zero complaints.
I'm hoping we can order our Thank You cards from Cartalia too!

These programs were absolutely beautiful!
The Cartalia team worked with me to include our own monogram on the front and back leaves of the program to be consistent with our invita...
tion suite.
The Cartalia team designed everything we requested and when I realized that what I thought I wanted didn't look as good in the proof, they worked with me to modify the program.
Their team ensured that top notch programs were delivered to us in a timely manner.
It was a pleasure working with the Cartalia team and I will say the programs were worth every single penny.
These programs helped to stay in the theme that we were seeking - elegance, royalty and romance - all while still quite dainty and delicate.
You can never go wrong wiht gold foil and I loved that most!
Everyone loved them. Thank you.

My fiancée and I are from different countries around the world from each other, and we work together all around the world. Once I found these invitations, I couldn’t even consider...
another! I chose white with gold lettering and the compass icon. I was floored at how beautifully they turned out. They are every bit as beautiful as I’d hoped, and I’ve gotten so many compliments on them from my guests. The shipping came more quickly than promised and it was an easy process. Cartalia kept in contact with me and guided me along.
Highest quality, worth every penny.
