To say that I am impressed with this company would be a true understatement. They designed an invitation better than I even envisioned, were extremely professional by providing a timeline when everything would be done by, and then went above & ...
beyond to deliver faster than anticipated. I could not have been happier with the service, quality, and experience I received from this company. I highly recommend Dot & Bow! :)
We had a wonderful experience working with Erin and Katy at Dot & Bow Paperie as we tried to manage our wedding plans through the complications caused by the COVID pandemic. They were a pleasure to work with, leading us through the process wit...
h helpful support, advice, and guidance. They were always responsive and very professional. They provided us with exactly what we wanted at a reasonable price. They developed creative and attractive designs that exceeded our expectations and, in the end, created a beautiful set of Save the Dates, Invitations, Thank You notes, and envelopes for our wedding needs. We can’t say enough about our positive experience with Dot & Bow Paperie and we would highly recommend them to anyone!
Everything about Dot & Bow Papery was amazing throughout the entire wedding experience! From the start Erin was super accommodating and made every idea I had better than I imagined. We did both our Save the Dates and our Wedding Invitations th...
rough Dot & Bow and it was 100% the right decision. Our Save the Dates our still on my fridge and look just like they did over a year ago when we got them. We did them on a magnet and they are such high quality and so well made. Our invitations are literally everything I envisioned and then some! I love everything about them. They also have such a wide variety of options for every budget and can create just about anything for you. Also, planning a wedding during COVID was one of the most stressful things I've ever done and Erin made everything much easier. It was so nice to have a vendor who was willing to be as accommodating as she could. When we were debating changing our date she tried to give us as much time as possible to decide and was printing our invitations hours before businesses had to close. She is 100% dedicated to her business and her clients and it shows in the amazing work they produce!
Erin and Dot & Bow Paperie are AMAZING to work with!! She made our invitations everything I had wanted and more! Every step of the way (even through changes and COVID) she was helpful and flexible! Our invitations included a matching RSVP card,...
details card, and both envelopes. She helped me with wording, numbers, and every little detail to make them perfect for our guests. We even had the envelopes addressed with beautiful calligraphy style writing. They matched our elegant and classic wedding theme. They have many styles and creative ideas for each and every unique bride’s taste. They are wonderful quality and right within our budget! I would highly recommend Dot & Bow Paperie for all of your invitation and paper wedding needs! I would work with them all over again! I cannot give them enough praise and I am so thankful I had found their small business to use as a vendor for our wedding! Please check them out because Dot & Bow is fantastic!!!
Erin has been amazing from start - to quarantine/pandemic- to finish. I couldn’t have had a better experience. She made everything so easy and stress free when I didn’t even know when our new wedding date even was going to be. We kept in contac...
t and she kept reassuring me that no matter what we will get the invitations fixed and changed to whatever i needed! My invitations were exactly what I wanted. During the most stressful quarantine wedding planning - this was something I was able to remain calm about. LOVE my beautiful invitations. Would definitely recommend this business to anyone I know for invitations.
Excellent attention to detail. They were very prompt on their response time (via email), and made time to arrange an initial consultation phone call and other phone calls as needed.

If you can't work with Erin, I would be highly surprised.
She presents examples for you to peruse and then listens to your ideas. She finds a way to meld the two together until you say,"That's it"!
She presents a myriad of papers to choose from and in all price ranges. Her staff is outstanding.
We were thrilled with everything she did. If a minor change or glitch, she would fix without hesitation. I can't recommend her any more highly. Go to Dot & Bow.
Erin was amazing to work with! Dot & Bow exceeded every expectation we had!
Anyone looking for invitations, seating chart etc for your wedding day look no further! I simply cannot save enough great words about Dot & Bow and working with Erin. She was always easy to contact via email or phone and always quick to answer....
Erin clarified any questions that we had. Even little things the most organized bride may forget, Erin was always on top of everything and thought of little details us busy brides may not remember. They have so many examples to see the different, beautiful colors and layouts for invitations. Also, it was great because you don’t have to feel stuck with what the sample books simply have. Erin customized both our invitation and seating chart. Taking off some of the decorations and adding things like the color flowers we wanted. It was great news to me that they could also print everyone’s names on the envelopes and RSVP response envelopes!!! This saved so much time!!!! Erin was super organized, provided us all of the information we needed for each step and always super kind!!! We also received so many compliments on how beautiful our invitations were, they were way better than anything I saw on other websites. I highly recommend Dot & Bow. I know where to go if I ever need anything in the future.

My fiance (now husband!), mother, and I went to an appointment at her shop a few weeks later. Erin worked with us to pick out colors and designs that matched our colors and "theme." We received a sample of the invitation before ordering the entire set which was very nice! I LOVED the way our invitations turned out and I'm SO happy I decided to use Dot & Bow Paperie!
P.S. I was on the fence about using a glitter backing for my invitations (because of the slight price increase) but it is SO worth it! The gold glitter looks so pretty!

Thank you Kate for making our daughter's shower extra special!
Katy at Dot & Bow did an amazing job with our wedding invitations. She did a great job customizing our invitations, and the other items we purchased, to make sure they fit our theme. I would recommend them to anyone!

This is a one stop shop for everything you can possibly need and they are 5 star service!!!!
I worked with Erin three years ago on my wedding invitations and save the date cards. She was amazing! I just had a friend ask who did all of my items and I was happy to send her Erin's information at Dot&Bow Paperie. Even after all this time (...
three year anniversary is this month!) I still think all of my items for the wedding were done with such perfection. I was so happy to pass along Erin's information and hope that others use the services provided. Great experience from beginning to end...professional, caring, willing to work with what I wanted, created a great experience. I would go to Erin everytime I needed any paper products. Thanks again!!

for in our invitations. Rob led the way with how he wanted everything to look and Erin worked her magic to make the vision become a reality. We have received so many compliments from our guests already and the invitations just went out in the mail last Friday. Highly recommend these folks for whatever your printing needs may be - especially wedding invitations! Another note worth mentioning is that they were very transparent about any of the costs that were associated with all of the different options that were available and they didn't try upselling us on anything they didn't think made sense for us and what we had envisioned. As someone who is fee adverse I truly respect the way they operate their business and how they handle their customers.
