The communication was top notch and they really helped us figure out exactly what we wanted for our invites and our day of stationary. We got so many compliments on how beautiful our invites were. And the day of stationary reflected exactly what we wanted our wedding to be - a mix of classy and fun.
We loved working with avante garde and we would recommend them to anyone looking for someone to take over the job of invites/signage/stationary for their wedding day. Could not have been more perfect.
Cassie & Jason were amazing to work with as we created my daughter’s wedding invitations and so much more. They were professional, thorough in explaining their products and saw our vision through to the end. Everything was exceptional quality and communication was top notch. Production was super fast too, and they even helped with some of our own printing needs. I would highly recommend them if shopping for beautiful and unique wedding invitations, signage, and more.
Jason and Cassie came out my rescue last minute helping us complete our table place cards! I had an amazing experience with them and so do my mother in law, which is why she recommended us going to them first. They were professional, quick and so understanding! Highly recommend and everything came out perfect!
We used Avante garde for our Save the Dates, Invitations and Seating Chart. They were wonderful to work with. The quality of their work was spot on. Cassie is very talented and they take great care to make sure everything is exactly how you want it. They were also very timely is turning around the projects and easy to work with. I highly recommend them!
After using How Inviting/Avant-Garde for my sister's wedding 2 years earlier, I knew I had to use them for my own wedding! They have hundreds, if not thousands, of examples for you to look at from which to get inspiration. That is years and years of exceptional service and satisfied customers! While it can seem a bit overwhelming and intimidating trying to narrow your selection down, they do an excellent job of figuring out what you are looking for and tailoring the examples they show you to better suit your style. They think of everything! From wording, the coloring, fonts, paper, etc. You think of something, and they will either have an example to show you or will know exactly how to execute your vision. I recommend checking them out as they will be worth every penny and then some!
Aleia and Cassie were great to work with! They communicated well and were very patient with me while I figured out what style I wanted. They are very mindful of your budget and will do their best to bring your vision to life without breaking your wallet. I used them to create my wedding invitations, my ceremony programs, and my seating cards. They stayed on top of communication and were quick to alleviate the one hiccup we had while printing. They produce quality work and can turn around projects in a very timely manner. My only regret is not using them for my save the dates! You will not regret using them!
Avant Garde was a lifesaver for our wedding! When we exploring options for our signage/stationary, we were overwhelmed with the different styles, fonts, themes but worked to find how we could make it cohesive. Rather, our wedding planner suggested Avant Garde. Little can I say, all the worries & stress disappeared. Avant Garde created our stationary and signage just as we had imagined! The team was extremely fast, flexible, and incredible to work with. They even created Spanish wedding programs for us! We are so beyond thrilled with their work and lucky to have found them! Avant Garde is a MUST for wedding signage & stationary!
Beautiful selection, very responsive and timely. Provided great guidance and professional results. Highly recommend!
Such quick turnaround, great pricing, listens to what you are looking for. All around AWESOME! Let you pay online so you can have others pick up!
As a wedding planner, I highly recommend Avant-Garde for all of your stationary and print needs. Cassie and her team go above and beyond to make each piece perfect and completed in a timely manner. The wedding I most recently worked with them on had many different components and deadlines and they delivered on every single item. From save the dates to seating carts, every piece was cohesive and made a beautiful statement for the couple. Thank you, Cassie and team!
I cannot say enough positive things about How Inviting/Avant-Garde Impressions. My wedding was on the smaller side and they still took the time to sit down with me and help me create custom invitations and reception stationery. They were incredibly responsive, kind and the work was high quality. Definitely recommend!
We used Avant-Garde Impressions for our wedding invitations and reception stationary, and it. was. beautiful. Our wedding planner recommended them as an option for custom invitations, and I was already so excited because I was able to sit down in their store to see samples in-person. We received so many compliments on our invitations as people received them!
After such a successful experience with the invitations, I was hoping Avant-Garde would be able to use the same fonts we had in our invitations in our reception signage and stationary to create a cohesive vision. I worked with Cassie over many months and many emails. The few times I went back to the store, the other employees were nothing but helpful and kind. If I could give them 10/5 stars, I would. Seriously, the customer service and quality of stationary is incredible. [For some reason The Knot won't let me upload pictures.]
Avant-Garde Impressions were absolutely amazing. They worked with us for our save the dates, invitations, welcome sign and seating chart. They went above and beyond to make our vision come to reality and they were super easy to work with. They exceeded our expectations on we received so many compliments!
Everything was perfect and had a quick turnaround. Cassie and the rest of the team were great to work with. If I need anything else I will be returning.
We worked with Cassie, she was great! Super communicative, and this being a small business allowed us to have a lot more personalization. They were willing to work with our inspiration and any tweaks we wanted to make everything perfect. I liked being able to see proofs before anything printed. They even hand-sketched our pets for our table numbers, it turned out so cute! The prices were very much what you expect for this kind of thing, with all the customization it’s very fair.
Very easy to work with and we’re super receptive to emails. Amazing product and very great price!
These people are AMAZING!!! I cannot tell you how thankful I am for these them! They were extremely responsive, friendly, affordable, and FAST! They were so helpful and accommodating and truly went above and beyond. They are outstanding!
I cannot recommend Avant Garde Impressions enough! Our wedding was a modern, black & white vibe and they went above and beyond to create the stationary of our dreams. We ordered our invitations, wedding programs, printed envelopes, escort cards, and seating chart through Avant Garde and not only was everything beautifully done- the turnover is so quick! As a bride, there are a lot of moving parts to your wedding day & I really appreciated how quickly they would respond to my emails. They went above and beyond every single time. Our wedding felt so cohesive because the same font & images were used through out all of our stationary. Can't recommend enough!!
Completely customizable. Exceeded all expectations for quality, Avant Garde went beyond for customer service! Highly recommend!!!
Avant-Garde Impressions were great to work with. They took our hazy ideas for invitations and created exactly what we wanted. Cassie and her team were incredibly flexible with all the changes and additions that happened during our wedding planning. We could not recommend them more highly.
did not realize how much time and effort went into creating paper products. Avante Garde took time to meet with me in person to come up with my vision. Aleia and Cassie were unbelievable. Aleia met with me and was extremely patient and kind with how overwhelmed I was with picking a style. She turned it over to Cassie to create the proofs. Cassie responded to emails within minutes. She sent proof after proof to ensure it was what I wanted. They ended up creating my save the date, invites, rehearsal invites, RSVP cards, accommodations, table numbers, menu cards, Mass programs, and welcome bag tags. They are an exceptional team and provide service that I did not get with any other vendor. They were the easiest and most accommodating vendors I worked with. I am so happy to recommend them to anyone. They will reduce stress and provide a unique experience that online platforms cannot provide.
Avant-garde was simply the best. Every person I had interactions with were incredibly helpful, kind and professional. The signs for our rehearsal dinner and wedding were perfection! We even were able to have our friends design printed on cocktail napkins. I would recommend avant-garde to anyone and everyone!
I can't speak highly enough for the excellent service and products I received from Avant-Garde Impressions. My daughter and I worked with Jason, Cassie and Aleia. All were very helpful in every phase of the project, from designing our invitations, signs, place cards, etc. to placing our orders. Everything was done in a timely manner and the quality of everything was outstanding. I highly recommend working with Avant-Garde Impressions!
Valerie Slaven of Limelight Event Planning referred us to Avant Garde for my daughter's wedding invitations. Jason and Cassie could not have been any more professional, efficient, creative, understanding or helpful. My daughter's invitations were gorgeous and included 6 pieces in total. From there we went to rehearsal dinner invitations & a welcome poster, multiple wedding signs, church program, cookie table signs, seating chart, welcome sign and place cards. everything turned out absolutely perfect and ALWAYS on time.
Cassie gave us advice, great design work, and timely delivery. She was very responsive and flexible as well. I would recommend How Inviting to anyone looking to get any stationary work done.
Aleia and Cassie are wonderful to work with! We met with Aleia to design our Save the Dates and invitations and we couldn’t have been more pleased with how everything turned out. They are so responsive and their communication is wonderful. We even had them make our place cards and it was the easiest process. Everything turned out more beautiful than we could have ever imagined.
Cassie made sure all the designs were everything we wanted. She was also timely with emails and super nice to work with. Would 100% recommend!! Thank you!
I’ve shopped a lot of places for invitations and this is the best by far. The selection is fabulous and the service even better.
Cassie and the entire staff were amazing! We ordered all stationary and printed products for our wedding from them and were never disappointed!
Cassie is outstanding! She is very easy to work with. She responds to e-mails within minutes, she is so kind, helpful and creative. She can help guide you in any direction and help with the tough decisions. I highly recommend her for invitations, signs, itineraries, save the dates, napkins and more! -Katie M.
Avant-Garde was great to work with. They were very friendly and quickly helped us identify our style for our wedding invitations. The invitiations were beautiful and the team was very responsive.
Cassie and team went above and beyond to help me with my invitations, change the dates and programs. Through countless changes and updates, Cassie was ALWAYS quick to respond and unbelievably flexible. In addition to the strong service, their quality/ design unmatched at an EXTREMELY reasonable price. I cannot say enough good things- thank you Cassie for all of your help!
We loved using Avant-Garde for our invitations! Cassie was able to take our vision using a few sample pictures and translate it to the exact vision we had for our invites. Avant-Garde was easy to use and made the process so simple for us! Highly recommend.
We engaged How Inviting for save the date and wedding invites, and the experience working with Cassie and her team was incredibly awesome! They worked with us to develop a custom design with a ton of creative guidance and input - the final product was outstanding, far exceeded our wildest expectations, and it was really fun in the process! Their responsiveness is super-fast and they were a tremendous pleasure to work with. We can't wait for the next event when we can work with them again!
My wife and I are beyond happy with the work Cassie did on our wedding invitations. We planned a Halloween wedding and our Save the date and wedding invitations were so creative and fun! We received so many compliments on them. The quality of the paper and printing was superb! Cassie was very responsive and attentive to our requests and ideas. We absolutely recommend their services to anyone looking for quality, creativity and beauty.
I got my wedding invitations, thank you cards, seating chart, table numbers and rehearsal dinner name tags all from here. My wedding planner recommended them and I heard about them from Devoted Columbus. Cassie and Jason were so pleasant to work with and quick to respond to my questions. I would definitely work with them again and recommend them.
I loved working with Cassie, Jason and the entire team! We did two sets of invitation suites (due to covid!) as well as change the date cards and a large menu display! Everything was beautiful. I will cherish these invitations for years to come when thinking of our special day! Communication was easy and they were so professional; we even had very quick turnarounds on all products! Thank you so much.
If you are like me, you are thinking getting custom stationary for your wedding day will be SUPER expensive and you need to keep your budget under control. Well, turns out it is SUPER reasonable!
I was so mad at my now husband because he took so long to help me figure out seating that I could no longer order the escort cards and table numbers from Etsy. I thought I would have to do it all myself. Well, turns out it was a blessing in disguise. I remembered the vendor from previous encounters and thought I would at least see. I contacted the vendor thinking I was placing a last minute order two weeks before the wedding. They assured me that my timing was perfect, which put the stressed bride in me at ease. The team was so great in helping me create something even better than what I originally imagined. I thought for sure I was going to break my budget and when they told me the price, I was shocked that it was less than half my budget! I wanted to see what else they could do for me. If only I had known, I could have had so many other things professionally printed for the wedding. Plus, it was great having one less thing I had to worry about myself. The team is friendly, patient and quick. They were even able to accommodate an additional small last minute printing order.
I cannot thank the team enough and will definitely be back for any future printing needs.
If I could give 10 Stars I would! My daughter and I worked with Aleia and Cassie for my daughter's wedding stationary etc., this past May. Avant-Garde Impressions was a fantastic choice! The service and quality of product was impeccable! The paper wedding programs, framed keepsake large program, table numbers, menus, cocktail signs, gift bags with labels, and seating chart were expertly made to our specifications. Their response time was very efficient which we greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this company for all of your wedding paper needs!
Cassie and Aleia were such a pleasure to work with. Aleia did my consultation and was the one I saw at the store. Cassie did all the design work and was so nice, even when I asked to see quite a few different options. Pricing was very affordable. I ended up doing my invitation suites, napkins, table numbers and signage with How Inviting! and I was very satisfied how everything turned out.
Everything they did was AMAZING! They created our invitation, seating place cards, donut bags, and more. Each product was beautiful. Cassie and the team do a great job of creating your vision and getting everything you order to coordinate. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone!
Cassie did our save the dates, invitations, welcome letters, menus, table numbers, place cards and signage. Everything was wonderful! She is very helpful and quick to respond as well. The turn around time was amazing!
Working with Cassie was such a lovely experience! It made invitations and place cards a breeze. It was so nice to be able to talk to her face to face about what I wanted and be able to view the products beforehand. I am so happy that I went with her and would reccomend her to anyone who wants the most beautiful invitations!
The work Cassie did for our wedding was absolutely amazing. We had a number of custom requests- from a Date Night Jar, Escort Board, to cocktail napkins and she didn't shy from any of our custom requests. Cassie was able to make our vision of a classic winter wedding come to life. Her work is classic and elegant and she has a lot of ideas to add pizzazz to the Big Day. Our invitations were everything we always imagined and we have received many compliments!
Cassie was great! This was my first wedding so of course I was stressed and wanted everything to fall into place perfectly! She did just that, she responded to my email within minutes, set up an appointment around my busy schedule, and had a variety to pick from that took maybe 2 weeks to come in if that!I ordered invitations and table cards that are flawless. She was great I would highly recommend her!

Thank you so much for you wonderful service!
I cannot say enough about Cassie! She created our Save the Dates, Invites, Programs, and Seating Chart and they all turned out beautiful! She did an excellent job of tying them all together so that the design carried through each paper product she created. I had several people tell us they were the most beautiful invitations they had ever received! Not only does Cassie create wonderfully creative products, but she is incredibly efficient and timely. I was always impressed with how quickly she created each product and with how much detail she put into them. I will definitely use Cassie in the future and I highly recommend her!
Our experience with How Inviting could not have gone any better. Cassie was effiencet, knowledgeable and very creative. She listened to every detail of what we wanted and delivered an end product that was perfect. I would highly recommend her company for wedding invitations for future endeavors.
Cassie was the absolute best vendor that I worked with throughout the entire planning process. I live about 2 hours from her and we did all of our planning and talking via email- she was quick to respond and had a million great ideas and suggestions. I felt 100% confident in her and completely trusted her to make all of my stationary beautiful. And she did just that! She made gorgeous invites, programs, table numbers and seating chart!
Cassie was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process!
She was quick and efficient and kept me in the loop from start to finish on where we were at throughout the whole time.
Cassie was great to work with. She did an excellent job on invitations, thank yous, table numbers, welcome note, program, signs. I would recommend her to everyone
Cassie did an amazing job on all of our paper products. She created our invites, programs, escort cards, thank you cards and additional signage. It was all beautiful. She is extremely flexible and responsive. Our guests LOVED our paper products, she did a great job. I would highly recommend her!
Cassie was truly wonderful to work with. We were all set to just order our invites off a website until our wedding planner Nora McCoy, mentioned How Inviting. We are so happy that we had the opportunity to work with Cassie. My mom and I were a bit panicked since we had not really put much thought into invites and deadlines. When we met with Cassie she assured us we had plenty of time to create our "prefect" wedding invitation. I may be biased, but our invites, programs, and seating charts were the BEST. Simply put, they were beautiful and perfect. They captured the essence of elegance and simplicity. What I loved about working with Cassie is that her work is authentic and unique to the individual or couple. If you work with Cassie, I promise you will be a happy customer. Cassie is very attentive to detail. She is very prompt and responsive to email. She is organized and gives you notices of when she can meet, when she is out of the office. I loved that she gave us honest advise and input. She has a great business and is a great professional. We can't thank her enough for adding to our special day. I am still in love with how everything turned out. THANK YOU CASSIE!!
I cannot say enough good things about Cassie! She responds to emails and inquiries so quickly and is so nice and personable, we felt right at home meeting with her. The process was so easy, she's so organized and has so many options! I had no idea what I wanted so she helped me find the perfect invitation on a budget. She also made our seating chart which turned out better than I could hope for! I'm very pleased!!!
Cassie was great at helping me create the perfect invitation suite! She has so many fonts, cardstock, colors, and designs to choose from. She was very professional and prompt in answering emails, and she always made sure things were to me in time. Everything is very reasonably priced, and I have already recommended How Inviting to many other brides. Cassie makes invitations that are MUCH better than anything you could purchase online. Thank you How Inviting!
