We absolutely loved working with Emily and her team for our save the dates and invitation suite. She was so accommodating to our schedules and requests even as we continued to tweak things here and there, she was always game and ready with her own suggestions and insights that elevated the whole design. She was incredibly communicative, transparent, and clearly very knowledgeable on all things wedding invites including providing us with example and recommended invite wording based on our vibe. We could not be happier with the outcome and throughout the process we also discovered some small world connections between us that made this collaboration even more special and meaningful to us! Again, 12/10 would recommend!!!
Working with Emily was an absolute highlight of our wedding planning. She turned our very specific but very under-theorized inspirations ('we like Whistler's nocturnes!' or 'can we capture day and night in the same invitation to reflect the gap between our ceremony and reception?') into gorgeously thoughtful designs that left us feeling she understood our instincts better than we did. On top of those stunning creative contributions, Emily was responsive, timely, and meticulous at every stage of the process. We're going to treasure her designs as long as the paper survives, and we would recommend her without reservation to any couple.
Emily completely blew us away. I knew very little about stationary/day of paper, and we provided her some theme concepts, the venue and the colors and she created these stunning concepts, utilizing her own artistic point of view while clearly listening to what we wanted as well. I'm still starstruck by the one we picked, and I have gotten so much feedback from guests about the invitations and paper goods specifically.
Working with Emily is seamless. She is kind and professional and has a quick turn around time with proof edits. She also had to navigate some issues with the printers being back up due to COVID, totally out of her control, but was communicative and honest about these hard deadlines. Everything turned out better than I could have ever imagined. Could not recommend her enough!
We can not say enough good things about Emily Baird! We 100% recommend her! Honestly, coming from a bride who knew zero about paper goods and all things printing, it was a dream to work with Emily Baird. From our very first phone call, she made us feel comfortable with the process and made it a lot of fun. She will get to know you as a couple and bring your personalities and ideas to life throughout her designs. She creates designs that are unique to you. Everything about your paper goods will be a part of the experience and Emily is the best at making sure everything is cohesive and ties together the big picture. I could go on and on about why we love working with Emily Baird; hence why we keep coming back to her for all things design whether for a party or branding for a business, Emily is a true professional, an incredibly knowledgeable designer, and such a joy to work with!
Emily was extremely communicative, understanding, able, and a fantastic designer. She dealt with my obsessive design tweaking for my wedding invitations, handled the special circumstances we had that required two separate prints and combinations, and delivered on time. It helped too that she didn't mind my late night emails! Not only was I thrilled with the process and the print in person, I was surprised that Emily had taken it to the next level - our wedding invitations featured the DC metro map and Emily thought to even include DC-themed stamps as the postage. An extra step that she never mentioned to me, showing she actually cared and was passionate about my vision. I will gladly book her again for my second and third marriages!! ;)
We loved working with Emily to create custom paper and decor for our wedding! Her creativity and understanding of our vision was incredible. She delivered the most thoughtful and beautiful work, that made our wedding day feel personal and special. Everything was perfect, and we loved every step of working with Emily!
Emily Baird was recommended to us by our wedding planners (Shout out to A. Griffin Events!) to do our day of stationary. I can honestly say she NAILED it. I wanted a fall color theme that was romantic and had hints of Disney. When we got our first round of stationary proofs I was blown away. Emily gave us quite a few options to choose from...but I knew right when I saw the hidden Mickeys it was a done deal.
Emily was professional, very quick, and most of all she listened. I know that seems silly to comment on, but she listed to all the notes I initially gave to my wedding planner and made our dreams come true.
She also went through so many last minute proofs with escort cards (sorry for all the typos Emily 😉) We seriously can not thank her enough. Her talent, creativity, and her communication skills are out of this word!!
I can't say enough great things about Emily!! The whole process was easy and enjoyable. She listened to the vision we had for our stationary and created multiple options that were each beautiful and exactly what we wanted. She was so easy to work with and happily made all the changes I requested. We heard from multiple people that our invitations were the most beautiful invitations they had ever received!! Beyond the invitations, Emily also created our menus, thank you notes and our Ketubah, which we love so much and looks so beautiful hanging on our wall. We cannot recommend Emily enough for all brides and also for anyone who has any stationary needs!
Emily Baird is one of the best in the business. As a planner and a bride, I couldn't possibly choose anyone better to handle my invitation suite and day-of stationery needs! Emily is one of the kindest, most devoted vendors you'll have on your wedding team. She's easily one of the most creative people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. She'll design anything for you from invitations to welcome signs to cocktail napkins and more! Her ideas range from simple and sweet to bold and dramatic, she's incredibly flexible and open-minded about her designs and can suit anyone's taste. She's also incredibly patient through the proofing process because she cares about her client experience more than anything. If you have the opportunity, book her ASAP! You won't regret it.
Emily was probably my favorite vendor to work with! First off, she designed 3 different suites so quickly to give us some ideas of looks. Not only were they created quickly, but they were all beautiful options! She understood our look with not much direction, it was so amazing! Then through all the changes and adjustments, she remained attentive to detail and patient as we continually changed our minds. Lastly, she helped us find ways to cut cost, which made a huge difference. My fiancé and I are thrilled with our invitations and will be using her for all our reception paper needs! She made our vision come to life at a price we could manage! Thank you so much Emily!!!!
I can't say enough wonderful things about working with Emily! She is so enthusiastic and passionate about her business and clients. I sent her a piece of original artwork which she used as inspiration for our wedding suite and the results were everything I dreamed of and more!!! She is professional, patient, and fun to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone who has a vision and needs help bringing it to life, or if you have zero clue and need some creative direction! Em is your girl!
Emily Baird is a gem in the wedding industry and a brilliant stationery designer. As creative as she is responsive, Emily has everything that you would hope to see in the person designing the paper products for your wedding. It is evident that she is more than capable of creating anything you could imagine and her originality is unparalleled. She is sure to create paper goods that truly look like gifts for your guests and is sure to learn enough about the couple that each piece is unique to the couple but still meets her standard of excellence. Thank you, Emily, for being so fantastic!
Emily designed our wedding invitations and we could not recommend her highly enough. From the beginning, she has been nothing but an absolute pleasure to work with. Her design work is impeccable, not to mention she responds quickly to emails and is quick to make updates and keep things moving. Perhaps one of the best parts about working with Emily is that she did everything for us — even assembly and mailing. We just received our invitations today in the mail — the same day as our guests — and I didn't have to do any of the work to make that happen! As a busy bride two months before my wedding, I can't overstate what a relief that was!
Working with Emily meant that I never had to worry about anything invitation-related. She had it all covered. Look no further and hire her for your wedding invitation and paper needs!
I worked with Emily on invitations for my niece's birthday and was overjoyed with the product she created for me. She was not only professional but enthusiastic and timely. I was able to supply Emily my vision for what I wanted and she surpassed my expectations through her own creativity by producing a better product than what I had envisioned. I have and will continue to use Emily for all my stationary needs - no other designer like her by far!
Emily is seriously amazing! She has done bridal shower invitations, baby shower invitations, wedding invitations and my business branding for me! For each project, I just sent her inspiration photos and she's able to bring my vision to life! She is my go to when it comes to designing any type of invitation, or branding, and I would recommend her services to anyone!
Emily was such a pleasure to work with during the wedding planning process! She understood the style we wanted and came to us with options that channeled the exact look and feel we wanted perfectly. Since we are both journalists, we wanted to design our escort cards to look like press passes for the event. We gave Emily a few examples from the ones we had accumulated from work, and she came back to us with four totally unique and impressive designs that incorporated our style and colors -- we were blown away. She was always very quick to respond with edits to the design and changes to the proofs, and even arranged to have one card re-printed two days before the wedding when we realized we had made a spelling error. The signage she designed as well set and complemented our style completely. She was very transparent about her pricing, which helped us make decisions about where to allocate our budget for stationery and other paper items. We never got the sense that she didn't give our project her full creativity even though it was small. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to add a touch of personalization to their wedding.
What an exceptional experience - ever.single.time. When it comes to your wedding, you want as much as possible to be done with ease. Emily not only created the invitation and day of prints suite of our dreams but the process was so fun and easy. She was open to all of our ideas and truly brought them to life. Emily went above and beyond for everything and made us even more excited for our special day. We keep finding excuses to work with Emily even after the wedding because we love what she produces so much! There is no question that Emily and her team is everything and you want and need for your design needs. Emily - thanks for everything...words aren't enough!
If you want to work with the sweetest person in the entire world who also happens to be extremely talented in design work, look no further than Emily! Emily designed both our save the dates and invitations, and, in both instances, she brought our vision to reality. Emily was patient through all of the back and forth as we perfected the look and wording, and helped us streamline things to stay on budget. Emily even took it upon herself to line all of our envelopes with gold glitter paper, stuff our invitations/tie the ribbon around the invite, and stamp everything to help make things easier on us during the planning process. Emily also helped us create signage for the event which jazzed things up within our theme. You won't find anyone nicer and more accommodating than Emily, and I highly recommend her design services to set the right tone for your event.
Emily is an absolute dream to work with! She is not only timely and professional, she is also unbelievably talented and really goes the extra mile to ensure you get exactly what you want. You would be silly not to hire her!
Emily Baird is professional and creative. She is the master behind most of my design. She is a great communicator / has out-of-the-box ideas and is remarkable at understanding a vision and taking it to the next level. I can't say enough amazing things about Emily. She has something for every type of client. From full-design to day-of paper, emily can 100% meet your needs!
