I met Renee through our wedding venue when we did our food tasting and her designs immediately caught my eye. All of her designs are unique, which really allows a custom experience...
compared to invitation suites on Minted or Zazzle. She can design anything that you need and is so responsive to changes. She made programs and escort cards for my wedding, and they were better than I could have imagined. The layouts were classic and simple, but definitely made a statement for my wedding day. The quality of the printing and card stock was exceptional. I had made an error in the spelling on one of my escort cards, and realized the mistake four days before my wedding- she was able to reprint a new card in time for the wedding, no questions asked. She was lovely to work with and very personable. I would have definitely used her for my wedding invitations had I discovered her earlier!

We had originally spoken with Renee pre-COVID about our 2020 wedding, but we had to push our wedding back due to COVID. Renee was super flexible and helped us pivot and include all necessary language regarding our changes. She has also been so flexible with our envelope printing. Originally we could only invite 50 people, but now the state has opened up to 100, and hopefully will keep opening up. Renee was able to print our additional envelopes, even after we had already received our original 50. Thank you again for all your help!

If you're looking for wedding invitations, programs, invites to next-day brunch, thank-you cards, seating place-cards, or even a monogram design to be projected on your dance floor...
, you can count on Renee to get the job done. I scheduled my first consultation with Renee well in advance of my wedding day. She had TONS of examples of her work on display, but I was able to tailor my invitations, brunch cards, etc. to EXACTLY how I wanted them - from font, to color scheme, type of paper, ribbon color, placement of jewels, and even placement of swirls. After making my decisions, Renee came up with multiple proofs that I could choose from. Each looked so awesome that it was sometimes difficult to make a final decision. After sending out my invites, I received MANY MANY compliments on how beautiful they were. Some of the compliments I received include... "very elegant and classy" "absolutely gorgeous invitation" "unique and well-crafted" "put together so nicely" and "information was flawlessly organized". Nonetheless, Designs by Renee is a great choice for all of your wedding stationary needs. I can assure you, you will not be disappointed!!
