I am so incredibly happy with my Save the Dates! They are incredible quality and so beautiful. The oysters are exactly what I envisioned for my New England wedding! Ruth was wonderful to work with - would recommend 10/10 times!
Absolutely loved the work that Ruth did on our wedding invitations! We received so many compliments from our guests! She was incredibly responsive and thorough throughout the design process and the invites arrived with detailed assembly instructions. Highly recommend her work!
Ruth and Concertina Press have honestly been one of my top favorite vendors to work with so far on my wedding. My fiancé and I initially came across her beautiful wedding invitations trying to find an invite option that was unique, elegant, beautiful, and special to our day. We found exactly what we were looking for with Ruth's invites! (We went with the oyster pattern!)
Not only was the design stunning (and totally different from the 3 vaguely similar floral invitations we had on our fridge from last wedding season!), Ruth from the very beginning was an absolute delight and SO professional to work with.
Questions I had about stock selections with the sample set were answered immediately before we'd even hired her, and she never made me feel like my questions were out of place or too much. When we moved forward with her as our vendor, she provided us an organized timeline and kept us on track, again, any questions I had were never too big or too small and were always answered quickly. Being a Type A bride, this was SO HELPFUL. I never had to worry about anything in this process, and it was all thanks to Ruth.
As for the product itself, my fiancé and I are both SO INSANELY HAPPY with how our invitations came out!!!! They are truly stunning, and honestly so many of our guests have texted us specifically to comment on how gorgeous the invites are! I managed print materials in non-profit events in NYC for several years, so the print materials for our wedding were very important to me. I cannot recommend Ruth enough - the pattern is beautiful, the colors are stunning, the stock is top notch, and Ruth is a true professional.
So fast and such beautiful work! We have gotten so many compliments!
Ruth was so wonderful to work with! She made our beautiful guestbook and we were so happy to see that she made thank you cards with a similar design. She was so kind, responsive, easy to work with and accommodated any changes that we asked for. We received everything in a very timely manner and couldn’t have asked for better!
My invitations were one of my favorite parts of my wedding. I even planned our entire theme around the oysters we had on our invites. Ruth was very easy to work with and went above and beyond with every detail including providing materials for assembling the invites. I received so many compliments on them and will definitely be ordered thank you cards from her! Thank you so much Ruth!
Working with Ruth was a great experience in such a stressful time: planning a wedding. Not only did I have a few customizations she was willing to work with me on, she was fast, diligent and the quality is OUTSTANDING. The paper is hearty and thick. I have had so many compliments on my invites thus far. The invites were easy to put together and Ruth includes a picture template as well as a sample for you to follow. I would absolutely work with Ruth again!
Ruth was INCREDIBLE to work with. She was one of the most organized & responsive vendors we had, and we received SO many compliments on our wedding stationary. We went with the Cape Cod/oyster theme and it was so unique & set the perfect tone for our big day. I can't recommend her enough!
Ruth was incredibly easy to work with! She made this entire process so seamless from beginning to end. The invitations came out gorgeous and shipped so quick. The assembly of the bellybands was also super easy and Ruth doesn't miss a step including directions, tips, and everything you need to breeze through it. I've already received sooo many compliments on how beautiful they are!! Definitely will be framing one (as will both of our mothers) as a keepsake.
Simply said, Ruth and her invitations are second to none! My daughter's wedding was rescheduled unfortunately due to COVID-19. Throughout the last year and a half, Ruth continued to stay in touch with us and was always very responsive!
Ruth's Oyster invitations that my daughter chose are so beautiful, and different from so many others options we had researched. My daughter has received so many compliments about her invites. The added touch of the coastal map (of the Maine coastline) inside the envelope is a show stopper! We decided to use Ruth for a few more items because we were so thrilled with her work!
Ruth was easy to work with and responsive! The invitations look so good and I loved the nautical options. Throughout the process she offered suggestions like how other guests will typically address envelopes and wording on the invitations. This was super helpful as someone who had no idea what the norm around wedding invitations was. There was a small problem I noticed once the invitations were received but it was addressed quickly. I recommend!
There aren’t enough words to describe how much I love not only my invitations but also working with Ruth. The theme of my wedding is oysters and pearls so the oyster save the dates and invitations fitted perfectly. When I originally contacted Ruth I was stuck in another country away from my fiancé trying to plan my wedding from a far during COVID. Ruth was so helpful and patient with my ever changing plans and answered any questions I had. The process of ordering the invitations was so effortless. It was clear to see exactly what I would be paying for each thing and the form made it easy to not miss anything. Adjustments and extras were done so fast and my emails were always responded to promptly. The turnaround from ordering to receiving them was impressive! My save the dates and invitations were just perfect. Such amazing quality and design really completing my vision for my wedding. Working with Ruth was such a pleasure. I cannot wait to order my thank you cards with her.
I am obsessed with our beautiful classic Cape Cod invitations. Ruth is so easy to work with and we were able to customize our invitations exactly how we wanted. They are excellent quality and I have received so many compliments! They came much faster than expected as well!
We ordered our save the dates for our wedding through Ruth at Concertina Press and they came out beautiful. We selected the Cape Cod map with the compass rose and a picture on the back. She was extremely responsive and delivered them according to the initial timeline set. We were impressed with the quality of paper upon receiving them. Additionally, our guests have texted us about the quality and how well they turned out. We highly recommend ordering through Ruth!
Ruth was such a joy to work with! I was looking for invitations that would tie in with my coastal theme and these were perfect! The whole process was very easy. Ruth was extremely responsive and truly paid attention to the little details. I cannot wait to send these to my guests!
I cannot thank Ruth, at Concertina, Press enough. Like so many, my daughter had a rescheduled COVID wedding; she moved her date closer, rather than farther out. Ruth was responsive to every email, question, and detail. Her invitation and place cards are gorgeous! We could not be happier. I would recommend Concertina Press to ANYONE needing quality invitations and accompanying pieces and superb customer service!!!
Ruth at Concertina Press was an absolute please to work with! Her designs are beautiful and I love that she's able to easily mix and match from different design suites. She was very responsive and professional, and continuously followed up with updates and tracking. She also checked in on how everything looked once the pieces were delivered. Highly recommend Concertina press for anyone looking for beautiful, nautical stationery!
Ruth has been as absolute dream to work with! From the very beginning, she has been so quick and patient with all of my questions and inquiries! And when I was finally ready to order, the proofing and shipping all happened super quick! I could not be happier! They came out so beautiful! The custom ink color I asked for came out perfect!! I cannot wait to order my invites. Cannot thank you enough!
Ruth was unbelievably easy to work with, incredibly responsive, and our save the dates are beyond beautiful (exactly what we wanted, even though that meant a little bit of customization). We received our save the dates well ahead of time and in perfect condition.
To say Ruth is easy and great to work with is an understatement. Her designs are incredibly beautiful to begin with and then she helps you adjust the designs to fit your vision. My wedding invitations were simply perfect. The quality of material and designs are so impressive! We received all the invites, addressed in just a couple of weeks! And then covid hit.... and once again Ruth knocked it out of the park with our change the dates! Again, the turnaround time was so fast! If you are looking for high quality work for a great price and an easy process, do not hesitate to use this company!
I worked with Ruth for my save the dates, wedding invites, and guest sign picture! She was so great to work with and was quick to respond to all e-mails. I bought my wedding invites during the COVID-19 pandemic and had to downsize my wedding. Ruth was able to create custom invitations to politely tell guests that were disinvited that we could only include immediate family. She was also able to create a section on my wedding invites to add a statement about live streaming the wedding. I am so happy that I found Ruth on Etsy and all of the products were better than expected and fit my theme perfectly! I would highly recommend working with her. The save the dates and wedding invites are great quality, ship quickly, and working with Concertina Press is easy and stress free.
Ruth was an absolute dream to work with. Her work is beautiful, and her invitations were a dream
come true for someone like me who is 1.) obsessed with octopi and 2.) getting married in an aquarium. The turn around for our invitations was super quick and the minor edits I needed also happened within 24 hours. I can’t wait for our guests to see them and for their reactions!
Ruth was an absolute pleasure to work with! She is extremely easy to work with and extremely responsive. Ruth was especially helpful during the uncertain times of COVID-19. She had great suggestions to help account for a "just in case of scheduling changes" scenario and helped me properly word the RSVP cards. She even let me wait until the last minute to send to print when there was still some uncertainty about scheduling. This is all not to mention the incredibly high-quality invitations. I went with the oyster collection and could not be happier. Concertina Press was the shining star while planning a wedding during a pandemic.
Ruth was an absolute pleasure to work with.
She was extremely timely, had open communication and worked closely by my side throughout the entire ordering process.
The Oyster Save the Dates I received are perfect. Watercolor sets are usually extremely pricey; I am so happy I found Concertina Press. Extremely reasonable & beautiful execution. The colors used are great for my summer wedding & the paper looks elevated.
Highly recommend!
Ruth was amazing to work with. She was so responsive, took the time to thoughtfully ask us what we were looking for and brainstorm what would be appropriate for our wedding save the dates given the context of our wedding, and gave us helpful advice where we asked for it about aesthetically and design wise what might work best. She is kind, professional, flexible, and had our project done ahead of schedule. I would highly recommend working with Ruth!
Absolutely LOVE our Martha’s Vineyard wedding invitations. Ruth was great to work with and made the entire process extremely easy. Fast responses to all my questions and was able to customize the invites/meal cards to what I needed. I also love the quality of the invites as well. Highly recommend!
Ruth was AMAZING to work with! She was able to take elements of several of her designs to create something that works perfectly for our nautically themed welcome party for our wedding. I think some people might like this invite more than our actual wedding invitations! Thank you so much Ruth!
If you are looking for a wedding stationer with expertise, a beautiful product, and top-notch customer service, call Ruth at Concertina Press. I ordered sailboat save the dates for my wedding in Newport, RI and I am in love!
Ruth at Concertina Press is the best! I used the Cape Cod theme for our invitations and thank you cards and they both came out beautiful. I also ordered the Cape Cod theme poster for guests to sign and we now have it hanging up in our home. It's such a nice piece to look at as a reminder of our special day. Ruth was very helpful and professional. The ordering and proofing process was so easy and quick. I would definitely recommend Concertina Press to anyone!
Ruth has been a true blessing to work with. Her speedy responses to email, constant open communication and generosity have been incredible. From start to finish it was 2-4 weeks total and she was transparent through ever step of the way. I'm excited for our guests to see these. I could not envision better invitations to reflect our personalities on this special day.
Ruth was so wonderful and patient when we were getting our Save the Dates printed. Her work was beautiful and we had people RAVE about the Save the Dates to this day. I'm hoping to work with her on some custom thank you cards and would highly recommend her work. Beautiful pieces that were so perfect for our Cape Cod wedding. Thank you for everything you did, Ruth!
This is a small company that offers an excellent product and great customer service. We ordered a Rehearsal Dinner Invitation with the Cape Cod design, which was perfect since our future daughter-in-law loves Cape Cod and chose to be married there. Her wedding colors include shades of blue and the invitation has blue printing and navy blue envelopes. The invitations came as promised and we couldn't be more pleased with them.
Easiest part of planning our wedding. Ruth was helpful throughout the whole process, and the invitations were beautiful. We had so many compliments on the invitations. The wave design went so perfectly with our theme, we decided to order place cards and thank you cards as well. I would definitely recommend to any bride or groom searching for quality sea inspired stationary. I will reorder for any stationary needs going forward.
Ruth was a pleasure to work with and my custom "blue oyster" invitations came out absolutely perfect! I couldn't be happier :)
Ruth was wonderful to work with, she was willing to make a few design adjustments to the Save the Dates we ordered and they turned out perfectly. The navy printing on the white envelops looks sophisticated and so professional. Ruth is responsive and thorough to every detail, I cannot recommend her enough!!
We purchased our guest "book" from Concertina Press and it was fabulous!!! It is a map of Cape Cod (where we got married) - it is beautiful and extremely high quality. We cannot wait to hang it up in our house.
The service was also impeccable. When I first received the picture, I measured it for framing and the sizing was slightly off. I reached out to Ruth - she replied right away and explained that she hand-cuts each one. She told me to keep it and that she would send a new one, which she did immediately. I was so appreciative of her responsiveness and how pleasant and accommodating she was - she truly wanted to make sure we had the exact right product that we would love.
We love our guest book so much and would very highly recommend Concertina Press!
We ordered our wedding invitations and RSVPs from Ruth at Concertina Press. Ruth was wonderful to work with and quickly responded to any questions. We picked a lovely wave design that was perfect for our beachside wedding. The finished product was beautiful! We were very happy with our invitations and highly recommend Concertina Press!
Ruth's is timely, meticulous, and proactive in all aspects of developing the stationary. I would rate her professionalism at the top of the list with regards to vendors we've worked with. I highly recommend her.
I fell in love with a Concertina Press design before I met Ruth. I went on a mission to find her. Our wedding guest list was small and she graciously agreed to provide the TidePool Invitation set for us. This made us happy, happy, happy! Our family and friends LOVE them as much as we do! Her creativity and professionalism are an expected pleasure. Can't thank her enough!
We ordered our Save the Dates from Ruth at Concertina Press. I wanted something that looked nautical but not like a kid's birthday party invite. She was very responsive to emails and the ordering process through her website was super easy. The cards have been sent out and we've gotten great feedback from our guests and family.
Our wedding invitations came out absolutely beautiful! Ruth was able to customize her design easily and add what we wanted to create an amazing design. We have received so many compliments. The paper quality is fantastic as well. She is one of the best vendors I have worked with for my wedding!
We just are coming off an incredible wedding weekend and despite having sent out our wedding invitations 4 months ago---our guests were STILL raving about them! Ruth is amazing to work with. She is so patient and worked so well with us. Our wedding was in Cape Cod and her design fit perfectly with what we envisioned. We incorrectly counted how many invitations we needed originally but she caught our mistake and gladly re-did our order! It was an incredible professional experience and Ruth is a creative guru! I highly recommend her services.
I absolutely love the invitations Ruth designed for me! She worked with me to combine a couple different designs and was so responsive and helpful and easy to work with (and sweet and patient even when I was a bit flakey!). I was not expecting to find such high quality invitations in my price range, but Ruth's invitations were higher quality than I expected and came in under budget!! I am so so so blown away by how beautiful they are-- I can't stop looking at them! Ruth is extremely professional and a true artist. I'm so glad I worked with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for unique invites!
I loved working with Ruth!! She did such an amazing job on our wedding invitations, they came out exactly as I envisioned. She is extremely responsive, professional and I would work with her again in a heart beat. Thanks Ruth!!
Not only have I gone to Ruth for my save the dates, table cards and thank you notes for my wedding, but I've just placed a third order with her for the wedding guest book with map! The quality of her work is excellent and she is a pleasure to work with! She has been more than willing to tweak all the items I have ordered (to make them more personal) until I am happy. I have no doubt that I'll be placing more orders with her in the future!
I was so thrilled to find Ruth's beautiful designs when we were looking for invitations for our 20th vow renewal ceremony, to be held at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. My husband is an environmental scientist, so it was important to us to find invites on recycled and FSC certified paper. Ruth was more than willing to work with us to find paper stock that met our needs--and then we had to choose from all her designs, which was hard! Ruth worked with us to choose a few different designs to use on the invite, RSVP, and additional info cards, so we really got to use quite a few. Her communication and professionalism was outstanding, and the entire process was so easy. When the invites arrived, they exceeded my expectations. The packaging was gorgeous, the colors and quality are fabulous, and we were so excited to find the designs extending onto the back side of each piece. Ruth even printed the addresses for us in a lovely matching script. I literally cannot wait to get these into our guests' hands. Thank you Ruth, you're the best!
We chose the sand dollar wedding invites for our seaside wedding in ME. We could not be happier with the quality of the invitations and RSVP cards. The prints are stunning, unique, and are adding the special touch we were looking for. The real bonus is Ruth is a pleasure to work with. She was very responsive, professional, and everything was completed exactly in the time frame she said they would be. We would recommend Concertina Press to anyone.
I can not say enough about Ruth/ Concertina Press. It was just crazy luck that I found her designs. While perusing the Pinterest board my sister created for my wedding, an invitation she had pinned caught my eye. It was the style that stuck out. I clicked on the pin to read more about it, and found a magical online shop called Concertina Press.
Until I saw Ruth's beautiful designs, I was seriously having doubts about having everything for our wedding take on a nautical theme. I mean, I like boats okay - and Ruth has some beautiful products featuring ships - but for me, getting married by the sea is something I am doing because I love the ocean. I love all the things about it. So, the standard navy on white invitations with a compass embossed across the pages with an anchor charm dangling off of it, did nothing for me. That didn't feel personal enough for me.
So, when I found the wedding invitation page at www.concertinapress.com, I knew I had found something special. The inspiration for her work comes from old scientific illustrations - which has it's own special meaning for my fiancee and me - and she really brings her subjects to life, and the colors are beautiful. Having recently received the actual invitations in hand, I can say that I am ecstatic about the end product, and the online pictures don't do justice to the beauty of her work.
The product is great, and I couldn't be happier, but just as great as the product, is Ruth herself. We coordinated everything over email, and despite some personal challenges I had getting my email to work properly, Ruth made the whole process streamlined and stress free. She was personable (not always easy yo do via email), courteous, and totally efficient. She has her craft honed, and her business runs like a well oiled machine. The turn around time for response, proofs, printing and shipping were all well within the time frame stated up-front, and in my case, everything happened much faster than expected. She was also very quick to answer any questions we had about the process, and willing to make a special trip to the post office to get us our envelopes early for addressing. The product was carefully wrapped and packaged to protect it during transport, and everything arrived, in tact, neat, organized, and more beautiful than I had let myself hope for. Along with our order, was a handwritten note from Ruth, that included some information about the printing of our invitations. Also, as if that weren't enough, she included a set of beautiful thank you cards, and some post cards with her design. I will definitely be going back to Concertina Press for any stationary/ paper needs in the future. You can be sure that when we decide to start a family, our announcements will feature a bouncing baby seahorse/ squid/ cuttlefish... Thank you, Ruth, for the most amazing invitations I never even knew were possible.
Working with Ruth throughout the process of ordering my wedding invitations was an absolute pleasure! She was responsive to all my questions, kept me up to date on the progress, and offered helpful suggestions that I hadn’t thought of. The price was very reasonable and the invitations got here within the estimated time. I’ve already handed some of them out, and I have gotten wonderful compliments about how beautiful and unique they are. They fit in perfectly with the nautical theme of my wedding, and I’m actually basing my cake design off of the invitations! Concertina Press will be my go-to for any future stationery needs that I may have.
My fiance and I were so excited when we found our invitations on Ruth's website. We were looking on Pinterest and happened to fall in love with her nautical designs. Not only are the invitations beautiful, but Ruth was so helpful throughout the process. Definitely using her for our thank you notes as well!
We love our invitations from Concertina Press! They are beautiful and absolutely perfect for us. Fiancé and I are avid bird watchers with a great love of shore birds. We are having a beach wedding in Southern California. Ruth's shorebird invitations couldn't have been more perfect for our special day! We have received so many complements from friends and family telling us that they are beautiful, elegant and so "us". It was such a challenge to find a way to incorporate birds into our wedding in a way that wasn't too cutesy, as soon as I saw Ruth's designs on Pinterest I knew they were meant for us! Ruth was a pleasure to work with from start to finish; she was communicative, patient and extremely flexible with us. We are so in love with her work that we've decided to have her do our place cards and table numbers as well! I will continue to recommend her work and go to her for future stationary needs. Thank you Ruth! We will treasure these invitations always!
Ruth was so great to work with (thru email because she was in Florida). We ordered the invites with the map of Cape Cod. They were beautiful. We were in a time crunch and Ruth got them to us quickly. My complaint!!- the envelops were navy, which matched great with the invitations BUT the US mail system has extreme difficulty mailing dark envelops therefore some invitations we mailed took 3+ weeks to arrive to our guests! Therefore we had to call everybody to see if they got the invites. This also goes for the reply cards.
The invites were beautiful, and Ruth was a pleasure to work with, very helpful and friendly and communicative. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for unique invitations, especially nautical ones, as that's her specialty.
