El's Cards

had to work with her for my wedding. I was lucky enough to work with El and she helped me and my husband create a final product that we were absolutely thrilled with. I was absolutely an indecisive bride and can be quite particular. Working with El was a dream come true. The invitation suite the El created for us surpassed our expectations ....she truly brought together both of our visions, which I didn't think possible, to create the most stunning final product. Our invitation suite was even featured on the Love and Lobsters blog. So many people that received our invitation reached out to say how beautiful it was. She also created signage for our wedding inspired from the theme of our invitation suite. I am so grateful that we worked with El and I highly recommend her. She and her husband are the most amazing team. Working with El was by far one of the best decisions that I made during our wedding process. I look forward to working with El again for other stationary needs in the future. Thank you El and Bob!

perfect for our wedding chart. It is now a piece that we have forever. We liked that she designed the piece and it is one of a kind. She lets you pick the colors, the design and then she adds her perfect touch to the entire project. We have the wedding chart framed in our house as a memory of that day and received so many compliments on the chart that day and the picture in our house! My sister had El do her invitations too - they were wonderful. Perfect calligraphy - I truly just cannot say enough about the service and quality of the products she creates! Plus she has fun doing it - at least that is how we felt. Always good when your vendor is enthusiastic about the work! We highly recommend!

we recieved so many complements from our guests. El’s attention to detail and her eye for design are amazing. The invitations, place cards, and table numbers all came together so perfectly! We highly recommend El’s Cards!

out the process: before, during, and after the project was complete. I would definitely recommend El for your wedding calligraphy!

r guests have framed it in their home! El also did favor cards. We were very pleased with El's work and would definitely recommend her to any bride to be! She helped make our invites, map and favors relate to our style and made everything more personal. Her artwork and calligraphy is superb. . I plan to use El again the next time I need invites or a special card made. El is very creative and great to work with, we talked often and now I miss out chats! If your looking for a unique and personal touch to your wedding, El is the best!

ercolor designs. I was so happy with Ellen's attention to detail and the beauty of her designs. She went out of her way to make this bride feel like a #1 customer. A great value for such a luxury product!

me right away and we began to discuss what I wanted the invitations to look like. She was so helpful and sent me several different options and ideas for wording, etc. Once we finalized the invitation, El sent us a copy so we could be sure we liked how it looked in person. She also sent me a personalized card with bride magazines to help with the rest of my planning. She was always so friendly and professional. She really was a breeze to work with which was nice because I never had to stress about the invitations. She took care of addressing the invitations and she sent them out exactly when she advised she would and even sent one to me addressed to The Bride & Groom. I loved her work so much that I also had her do our place cards and she even created a personalized sign for us. I will definitely be using El's cards in the future and I would recommend any Bride do the same :)

quality paper and you will never be given any poducts that feel thin and cheap! She is extremely creative and will customized anything that your heart desires! For my wedding, El took my ideas & seriously blew me away with Her creations. I am not kidding when I say that we heard back from almost every single guest ( almos all 330!) when they received their invitation in the mail! They were so amazed by our one of a kind truly unique invitations that even the males were giving praise to us on our ivitations! Many people said they were so excited for our wedding because the invitations were so amazing that they couldn't wait see what our wedding would be like. Our invitations were classy but fun and truly showed our personalities. El made sure we were happy with every detail before she did our final one. We had El do all of our paper work for our wedding! She impressed everyone. Besides her beautiful invitations, El offers some really unique things that I've never seen at weddings & let's just say I'm 27 dresses, so I've been to my fair share of weddings! Our first thing we did that stood out was El painted our beautiful lakeside venue on the outside envelope. She has many different options that you can choose form, but we absolutely loved our guest getting a preview of what's to come. The 2nd really unique item was instead of directions, El made us a map of the area we were getting married & added every little spot that was special to use. This helped everyone learn a little bit about us and many guest wanted to frame it, which I found hysterical! El put our map on rice paper which is a thin smooth paper that made it look like an old fashion treasure map. It was so cool! Also, our reply cards evelopes had a cute bride & groom in a " just married" car driving away and so many people loved them, that they called after they sent their reply to see if they could have it back! Haha. Lots of my guest loved our invitations so much, they are keeping them! Another creative item that El makes is she'll paint your seating chart! Whatever your theme is or your table name theme is, she'll paint you a chart that you can frame after your wedding and have a great momento from your wedding day, a beautiful piece of art & all the names of everyone who was there with you that day. People are truly impressed by this! Our tables were named by all of our favorite places & things so we have an amazing painting of everything that's special to us! Also El's calligraphy is absolutely beautiful! Not only is El amazing at what she does, but she's very personable and kind person. She has been in business for over 20 years and gave me great advice and direction on what was appropriate & what would look really nice. She is very reasonable and will guide you and help you stay within your budget. My husband & I are so impressed with El's work and creativity that we plan on using her for every event, party & celebration from here on out! Also El made gifts for my bridesmaids that were personalized to each one of them. It brought tears to their eyes! From her save the dates, invitations, our map, envelopes, seating chart, gifts for our bridesmaids, and all of our thank you notes, I couldn't say more great things about El & her work. You NEED to check her out!

's prices were excellent, the service outstanding (she had the job done before the estimated date of completion)and she gave great ideas and a ton of choices. She also personalized the name cards for the reception with original art work-something that everyone commented on. You won't go wrong if you hire her for your event!

er for our invitations. Working with Ellen was easy and such a pleasure every step of the way. She was excited about our ideas and taking those and creating something special. Her watercolor drawings and calligraphy is so elegant and beautiful. For our save the dates she created a lovely watercolor map of a section of Cape Cod and all of our points of interest as well as a number of other special touches. We received so many compliments from our guests. We had so many ideas and requests for things we wanted to add to the map and she was able to incorporate most everything and do it better than we ever envisioned. For our invitations she was able to hand draw some undersides of oyster shells in the exactly blue/gray color scheme we wanted and create something so elegant and beautiful. Again, so many compliments from our guests. Would recommend her to anyone who wants to create something different, special and unique. We also had her mail out all of our wedding invitations which was such a huge help and well worth the small additional cost. She is honest and true to the deadlines she sets and we felt that her costs were very reasonable for the quality of what was delivered.

ted for my project. WE communicated several times and she drafted up a map showing all the places and details that i suggested. it was beautiful! then she made it come to life. Check her site to see the results. I also asked her to make my wedding programs. She hand painted an english garden rose on the front. The paper was gorgeous too. I had a wonderful experience with Ellen and i highly suggest speaking with her about any of your artistic/printing projects.

th such beautiful designs that we decided to use them in other aspects of our wedding as well. She was able to take a simple idea I had in my head and create an entire vision for all aspects that she worked on for our wedding. El created my invites, table signs, place cards and thank you notes. Each of these were beautiful and original! So many guests commented that they had never seen anything like them and how much they added to our day! Every question I had was answered the same day and with such a pleasant response. El even addressed and mailed our invites for us, which eliminated a huge stress for me during the planning process. I cannot say enough positive things about El's Cards and it was one of the best wedding planning decisions I made by hiring her!!!

hanging in our bedroom) Seating chART. She also painted our vows, which we have framed and hanging in our home as well. I can't recommend El and her services highly enough - HIRE THIS WOMAN; you will be thrilled that you did!

minutes from my work so it was super convenient to meet up with her to go over design ideas. All of the items she provided were so much more than I could ever have dreamed, and the guests of my wedding thought the exact same thing. I can't wait to use her services for a house warming and baby paraphernalia. I just want to share with the world how great she is!!! I feel like I found a new friend in this whole process :)
