Working with Gus & Ruby for our wedding stationery was such a wonderful experience! Their attention to detail and commitment to getting everything exactly right made the process so...
smooth, even with multiple rounds of revisions between both my mom and me. They were incredibly patient as we worked through various designs and wording options, always ensuring we were completely satisfied with every element.
What really impressed me was their dedication to perfection - from sending multiple color samples when I wasn't quite sold on the initial options, to accommodating last-minute name fixes after our final list was submitted. They nailed all the tiny details that made our stationery suite feel truly special and personal.
While the envelopes had some minor sticking issues, it was a small detail compared to the overall exceptional quality and service we received. The final product was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we envisioned for our wedding.
Their professionalism, responsiveness, and willingness to work through every detail until it was perfect made the whole process enjoyable rather than stressful. If you're looking for a stationery team who will go above and beyond to create something beautiful while providing outstanding customer service, Gus & Ruby is the way to go!
We used Gus & Ruby for both our wedding invitations and the day of stationery. We love Gus & Ruby's style (we had visited their Boston and Portsmouth storefronts many times) and we...
were not disappointed with the designs they created for us. We love how everything turned out and how the invitations and day of stationery/signage maintained a consistent look. Highly recommend!
Run, don't walk to Gus & Ruby! If you're getting married anywhere, use Gus & Ruby to make the most beautiful stationery for your wedding! I found Gus & Ruby because I just moved to...
Boston and was looking for a new stationery company after the first one used for my save-the-dates was not a great experience.
From the moment of reaching out to Samantha to meeting in-person to many emails back-and-forth to bring our vision to life, Gus & Ruby exuded professionalism, kindness, and creativity. Additionally, I'm so happy they expertly worked in my mom's artwork into the wedding suite from the map, crest, and other artwork features. Lastly, it was so much fun ordering day-of stationery items with them like stickers, cocktail bar signs, food signs, and more!
All in all, I can't recommend Gus & Ruby enough. They provide the highest quality invitations, day-of items, and service to make you feel at-ease and also realistically within a budget too! The amount of compliments we got on our invitations speaks volume for their work! Thank you, Gus & Ruby for making memorable time pieces that I'll cherish forever. I'm going to miss working with Samantha!
Gus & Ruby are the most talented in the business! My partner and I worked with them for our wedding invitation suite as well as our day-of printed materials. They enthusiastically ...
collaborated with us on our "1970s tennis party" aesthetic and brought it to life even better than we could have imagined! Throughout the process, they were also communicative, detail-oriented, and open to feedback. We received so many compliments on our delightfully surprising paper items! Thank you, Gus & Ruby!
We ordered our save the dates and wedding invitations from Gus & Ruby and they were of the highest quality and the most beautiful designs! I will admit that they are pricey, but I ...
can not stress enough that the quality and design you receive for the price is completely unmatched. Many of our guests told us they were the most beautiful invitations they had ever received! Laura was wonderful and professional to work with, upon initial booking we had a zoom meeting where we discussed lots of ideas and what our needs were. She was great at making suggestions and accommodations as well to some unique requests. My only feedback would be to give yourself buffer time to when you want your invites, I tried to do this but still found that we got our suite at the back end of their timeline. Everything worked out, but if you are going to stress about that, just start the process earlier. Every invite I have seen them do is completely stunning and original, I highly recommend.

The result was an absolutely stunning and 100% personalized invitation set that reflected our style and sentiments perfectly. I really can't recommend Gus & Ruby (and Laura) enough -- I want to go through the whole process all over again just for the stationary!

e time to meet with me and my fiance and go over all of the proofs multiple times.
The selection available is incredible and their custom design are to die for! I could not be happier with our wedding invitation suite and highly recommend.

tation for us as a couple, that also fit the wedding. The service felt personalized and detail oriented. I never expected to get so many compliments on our invitations! People raved about how gorgeous they were for weeks. I couldn't be happier with Laura or Gus and Ruby as a whole.

Months before I even became engaged, I was walking down the main drag of Portsmouth and came across a beautiful window display. A few months later, it wasn't even a question of wh...
o to use for our wedding invitations. A beautiful letter-pressed invitation suite was created with custom illustrations. My passed grandmother's pansy print was scanned and turned into the envelope liner. A custom hang-tag was tied to the front of the invitation cover. Overall, a beautiful, unique, high quality introduction to our wedding was created with the help of Samantha and Whitney. They were upfront and honest with pricing, what was and was not possible, and the like. I would highly recommend them and fully trust them to create a beautiful invitation, stationary, or card for you!
Walking into Gus and Ruby for the first time I was overwhelmed with the whole invitation process. However after 5 minutes sitting with them my mind was put at ease. It was an easy ...
selection process. I custom made my invitations and they were shipped to me in 3 weeks. They were perfect and such a keepsake.
I have an irrational obsession with the Gus & Ruby store in downtown Portsmouth. Every chance I get, I pop in and add something to my card collection. I knew I wanted them to make ...
my invitations. My initial meeting with Samantha was so easy! I told her the feel I wanted for the day and showed her some things I had put together. We collaborated on creating what I (biased as it may be) think are the most beautiful invitations. She was more than willing to work with me on the budget I had set aside for invitations and even made suggestions so I could stay within that same budget. They successfully captured the theme and feeling I wanted for the day while still maintaining a classic, beautiful look. They aren't mass produced and will be uniquely our invitations forever! The invitations are hand pressed on an antique press and the quality is unbelievable. You will not be able to get the same quality from a website shop. I received so many amazing compliments on them. I still have an invitation up on our fridge and admire it everyday. If I could do it all over again, I would go right back to Gus & Ruby. You will not be disappointed!
Fantastic service. A little expensive, but worth it. The invites were gorgeous and custom done. They were very amenable to my ideas, but helped when I needed ideas. The letter pres...

t I also had thank you notes printed there as well. They were able to work with me to stay in my price range and my invitations had a very contemporary feel that suited our style.
We might be Samantha and Whitney's biggest fans. Our invitations were a big deal to us, and we wanted them to be special, personal,and customized. The ladies delivered, beyond our ...
wildest dreams. They worked with a drawing I did, helped us clean up and rework the fonts and then printed up the coolest, quirkiest, most gorgeous invitations ever (some people refused to send back the RSVP cards because they were so cool that they wanted to keep them - nice work Sam and Whitney!)! And they were great about meeting and communicating with us, walking us through all of the steps, and they gave us great advice. We couldn't have asked for anything better - in the process and in the product. These ladies know how to bring it, for real.
We cannot say enough about Gus & Ruby Letterpress. They are such kind, creative, helpful ladies who helped us not only with our save the dates and invites (which were AMAZING) ...
but they also were a great help with navigating through the overwhelming wedding world. They went above and beyond their jobs. We highly recommend them to anyone who wants high quality, beautiful invitations.
