We stumbled upon Little Black Dress Paperie by chance one summer evening, we were having dinner in Morristown and we happened to walk by the shop to where we parked the car. My now...
husband looked and noticed the invitations in the window and said we should consider this as a vendor for our wedding invitations. After visiting two wedding expos and consulting another invitation vendor, we decided to consult with Patty- shop owner. I was completely and utterly in AWE, with the shops display, how it was organized, and most of all with Patty. She and her team are amazing and they have great personalities. Patty and her team constructed an absolutely breath taking invitation that will be imprinted on our hearts forever. Patty and her team worked tirelessly on putting our theme and our interests together and continued to make changes as they saw fit. If anyone is planning a wedding, soon, now, or in the future, we would ABSOLUTELY STRONGLY recommend going to visit this shop and have a discussion with Patty. Her background and design experience with blow your mind, how do I know? It blew mine and I just adore her, she is amazing in every way imaginable. So, if you have a chance, please visit her shop even to look around and say hi, it is totally worth it!

vitation-a watercolor design of the magnificent church where she was due to be married. Peggy, with the help of their talented artist, greatly exceeded my expectations! The artwork is truly incredible! Peggy then created the unique invitation around this beautiful watercolor rendition of St. Catharine’s Church in Spring Lake. The colors and printing and embossed hydrangea came together to create the most stunning wedding invitation I’ve ever seen. We were beyond thrilled! The recipients have not stopped raving!
The invitations set the tone for a fairy tale Spring Lake summer wedding!
Many thanks to Patty, Peggy & the whole team at LBD Paperie for your professionalism, talent and most importantly for making the invitation process fun! I really enjoyed every meeting at your fun shop!

Even when there was a misprint, they made sure to remedy the mistake quickly.

programs, signature drink sign, and other signage. They delivered amazing results on everything because they took the time to understand what we were looking for and went back and forth multiple times to get it right!

They were amazing! Great end product and so thoughtful and understanding during the design and edit process. Thankful for working with them!
LBD was so easy to work with and created such beautiful invites and other stationary for us! We got so many compliments on everything.
I’m so happy we decided to use LBDP for our Wedding invitations. From the moment we sat down with Robin, she helped us make our vision a reality. She talked us through the process,...
offered her input as appropriate and shared where we could cut costs and where not to cut costs or corners. Through about 5-6 rounds of edits and adjustments, she was patient and so helpful. When our invitations arrived, the suite was stunning and top notch, however, we were not 100% pleased with a small detail related to the ribbon. Patty and Robin had us bring in the invitations the next morning and everything was fixed and exceeded expectations in just a few hours. We were so impressed! Their attention to detail, professionalism and expertise is second to none. Highly recommend! Thank you LBDP for your amazing care and work! Our guests have done nothing but RAVE about our invitations!!
Where do I begin! Patty and Christine, thank you. We were considering ordering our invitations online, and all of the samples I ordered just fell short. I came to LBDP with a few i...
deas for something classic but modern, and working with the entire team to make our vision come to life was so fun, creative and exciting. We are STILL getting compliments on our invitations from friends and family who comment on both the design and the quality and feel of the materials. Our welcome sign was the perfect way to tie in the look of the invites as our guests arrived. I would recommend Little Black Dress in a heartbeat and I can't wait to work with them again.

ho to go to! Patty, Christine and team are incredible. They have made the wedding invitation process so easy and fun. We just sent out our invites and received so many compliments. I cannot wait to order the rest of our printed wedding materials. We recommend Little Black Dress 10x over again! Thank you, LBD!
Little Black Dress made our gorgeous wedding invitations and printing in general! I was very specific and they always were accommodating. They also worked with our budget and gave ...
ideas in order for us to execute our vision within that range. The art on our invitations, which was a custom drawing of a part of our venue, was incredible. They also did our day of printing (menus, tags for flip flops, printing for welcome boxes, qr codes for our guest pix cloud) and it all looked so wonderful and professional. Thank you for providing high quality service for our wedding!
While our invitations were gorgeous, the experience working with LBDP was marred by the rude, dismissive actions of the shop's owner as well as our invitations being made incorrect...
ly due their oversite and error.
During our first meeting at LBP, never once did Patty, the owner, acknowledge my fiance's presence. She never asked him any questions nor made eye contact with him, even when I had to redirect her questions to him so that he could actually participate. This behavior is inexcusable as my fiance literally left the shop in tears. We would not have hired them, except that my parents wanted to work with them.
Thankfully we were quickly routed to working with one of the designers who was fabulous, but we were very disappointed in the first version of the invitation we got as it was a rinse and repeat of another design we had seen in the shop. For such an expensive shop that touts being a luxury, customized vendor, we were shocked at this lazy behavior.
Thankfully our feedback was applied quickly and the rest of the process working with our designer was great until we actually went to pick up our invitations. Upon arrival, I was the one that discovered our invitations were made incorrectly. After months of working on the design, multiple email proofs, and signed documentation confirming our design was to be de-embossed, they were made with embossing. The shop hadn't even noticed they were wrong - I had to be the one to point it out! Their printer had made the decision to do embossing instead of what we specifically requested, signed off on, and paid for, and they didn't even realize it. This lack of quality assurance and control is horrifying for what you pay for these items.
When I raised this to them (and after some convincing that they were made incorrectly by actually having to show them all the documentation), they offered to reprint the invitations or provide 20% any further printing we did with them. We opted not to reprint as it would have been an absolutely horrible waste of paper and were absolutely not going to print anything further with them, especially since place cards alone were quoted at $600 (prior to discount).
All in all, our invitations ended up being beautiful, but this shop is not one I would ever recommend. We paid way too much money to have received a lack of customer service, rude ownership, and incorrectly made invitations.

taff. A beautiful store and a great experience!
LBDP offers an amazing selection of unique, beautiful invitations and other products! Their team of professionals are hands down awesome! You’re truly in the best of hands!

ch fun. I knew that I wanted something classic and elegant, but did not know an invitation could be so beautiful. All of our guests raved that they were the most beautiful invitations they have received. Thank you!!!
Patty and her team at LBDP were a delight to work with from start to finish. Their boutique storefront is charming and inviting, and they have a beautiful selection of invitations ...
to choose from. My husband and I were able to customize our invitations to perfectly match our wedding theme, and Patty and her team were always available to answer our questions and make changes. They even designed a custom monogram for us, which was the perfect finishing touch. We loved their work so much that they also created my bridal shower invitations, our church programs and wedding thank you cards. We highly recommend LBDP to anyone looking for beautiful and personalized wedding invitations and we cannot wait to use them again for our future events!
I cannot recommended Little Black Dress Paperie enough. We worked directly with Robin and she was wonderful from the very beginning. At our first consultation, Im pretty sure I pul...
led down AT LEAST 50 different invitations from the studio's display wall and pointed out what I liked about each one - this was everything from font style to font size to paper material to envelope colors etc. Robin was so patient and took the time to go over every detail of the invitation suite to make sure everything I liked/wanted was included.
The proofs came quickly and updates that I requested were made same day. Robin also consistently followed up with me to ensure that I was on time with sending all of the necessary information to have the invites printed by the date I requested - they were even ready for pick-up earlier than I anticipated.
Lastly, I have actually lost count of how many people reached out to my parents, my future in-laws, and myself after receiving the invites to tell let us know how stunning they were. Overall, we can't thank LBDP enough for creating invitations that exceeded our expectations and for making this part of the wedding planning process so seamless and stress-free.
We had our invitations and all day-of materials done with LBDP and were so beyond happy with everything!!! Patty and the team are so great at helping you bring your vision to life....
From our first appointment, we had a general idea of what we wanted our invites to look like, but Patty was so helpful in recommending all aspects of our invitation suite and we were speechless when we saw them for the first time! They were truly everything that we had hoped for and MORE. We worked on all proofs and artwork with Christine, who made every single small change we had requested to make everything absolutely perfect. She also created our custom logo that we used throughout our invitation and many of the day of printed materials. We got SO many compliments from our guests on our invitations and day-of printed materials!! The customization and personalization that we were able to bring to our wedding day with all of these printed materials was something we will never forget about our day! Highly recommend using LBDP for your wedding - their work is incredible!!
This review is for our 11/5/2022 wedding papery - We had our invitations, seating chart, Church ceremony pamphlets, welcome boxes and card box printed and provided by LBDP. We had...
a NYC style wedding at a Jersey City location on the waterfront with a stunning view of the Statue of Liberty, Financial district skyline, and Staten Island ferry. We wanted our invitations to set an impressive, modern, and Black Tie feel from the get-go. Patti was able to assist with our invitation design, featuring a NYC Skyline belly band, as well as guide us towards considering a QR code (big hit!) on our RSVP cards. Guests were calling us to compliment our invitations as soon as they got them in the mail!! Robin was a massive help with our ceremony Church pamphlets - they turned out absolutely beautiful and what I considered my favorite detail of the day. The team are very open to discuss pricing and different design options that allow different price points while you design your final products. All of our papery products by LBDP were stand-out, memorable, stunning, and professional. It does take dedication to threads of emails, proofreading, and in-person meetings, but it is completely worth it. They do it all and they do it very, very well. Thank you!!
I used Little Black Dress Paperie for my save the dates, invitations, miscellaneous printing (like menus and table numbers,) and thank you cards for my wedding. I was truly blown a...
way by everything they produced! In fact, our guests were equally blown away, as they said they never received invitations like ours to any wedding before... That says a lot!! All the items set the tone for our affair (black tie), and I'm so happy with how everything turned out. Fortunately, I had a few extra of each item, so I was able to put these into a keepsake box and will have them forever to look back on and remember such a wonderful day. Additionally, the staff is so wonderful to work with. Patty, the owner, and Christine really made my vision come to life. I would highly recommend LBD to anyone who wants a 5-star experience, both in the quality of their printed items, like invitations or any of the items I purchased, as well as in the level of service Patty and her team provide! Can't thank them enough!

have so many styles to fit your needs and their invitations are so professional and beautiful.
We also could not recommend their service more! We had a tight timeline for invitations, but when we called, Patty assured us that it would be no problem for her to get them done. She was able to send us proofs so quickly and was so prompt with modifications. She not only got them done in our timeline, but had them done a few days early! She was also so helpful with design suggestions and helped enhance our own creativity.
Their entire staff is so reliable and detail oriented. When they assure you that they will give you the perfect invitation for your style, they aren’t kidding! They also offer many photographs of venues in the Northern NJ area, which we used and made our invites feel so personal. Our invitations were absolutely stunning!! We received so many compliments on them. We so recommend Little Black Dress Paperie to all couples considering using their services! You will not be disappointed!
Stunning!
Our daughter's wedding invitations were absolutely stunning! Patty was able to incorporate the custom watercolor crest we had designed into the wedding invitation. She ...
found a pantone color match to the blue and coordinated the ink, envelope color and created a beautiful hydrangea liner for the envelope to carry on the theme. She was even able to take the monogram from the crest and carry it onto the blue belly band that held all the detail cards together.
The result was amazing and we received so many calls and messages from friends and family saying it was the prettiest wedding invitation they had ever received.
The hydrangea theme was carried over to the wedding with gorgeous escort cards that were pinned to a boxwood wall-absolutely a show stopper.
Thank you so much for helping us set the tone for our daughter and son in-law's special day. It was so great working with you!

I cannot say enough about Little Black Dress Paperie. We met with Patty in the studio and really appreciated all the time she took to let us walk around and browse some of their pa...
st invitation designs, talk to us about our vision for our own wedding invites, and work within our budget. Patty was very accommodating, friendly, and honest when it came to the process. We also worked with Christine. Christine constantly communicated with me throughout the entire process and was beyond helpful and always quick to respond!! My invitations were gorgeous and beautifully put together. We also created signature cocktail signs with Little Black Dress Paperie, which were also perfect 😍 everything from the studio, customer service, design of all products, and friendliness of the staff is hard to beat! Definitely use Little Black Dress Paperie for your wedding invites and everything in between!! They make the entire process easy and stress free.
Little Black Dress Paperie helped my husband and I create the most beautiful invitations that I have ever seen! During our appointment, we worked with Patti to pick different compo...
nents that we wanted in our invitation suite. There were so many options to choose from. I think that any bride would be able to create invitations here to match her style... the options were truly endless! During our first meeting, Patti also worked with us to give options appropriate for our budget. The aspect of our working with LBDP that I was most impressed by was their flexibility. We ended up having to change the date of our wedding after some invitations already went to print, and LBDP worked swiftly to stop production and create new invitations. Can't wait to use them again for future event invitations!
Little Black Dress Paperie created the most elegant save the dates and wedding invitations for our wedding. We got so many compliments on how beautifully they were made. Christine ...
was great to work with and quick to reply to any emails. They even did free guest addressing, which came out great. Cannot thank them enough. Highly recommend!
Patty and her team at LBDP are beyond wonderful to work with! They are creative, thoughtful, patient and kind. Patty and her team designed our invitation suite, our ceremony progra...
ms, thank you cards, cocktail napkins and stickers for our wedding day. While we didn't want anything over the top, we did want our invitations to have a custom monogram that we also wanted to use on other items throughout the day (cocktail napkins, stickers, ceremony programs, etc.). Our last name begins with a "Z" which turned out to be a tricky letter to fit into what we wanted. Patty and her team ended up mocking up and sending us SO MANY different options of fonts we could use for the monogram in order to ensure that everything we got from them looked the way we wanted it to. We went through many, many rounds of revisions to get the lettering exactly the way we wanted and it turned out BEAUTIFUL. That is just a small example of how thoughtful the LBDP team was throughout our entire process of working together and we are so happy with everything they did for us. We absolutely loved our invitations and recommend Patty and her team for any special event and custom invitation needs!
Patty and the team at Little Black Dress Paperie were hands down one of the most enjoyable vendors to work with during our wedding planning. They made a very stressful process ligh...
t hearted and fun, but their professional approach made it an easy task to complete - and everything came out looking amazing. I have relatives who refuse to throw away the envelope that our wedding invite was sent in!
So happy with the way our invitations came out. My fiance and I chose a simple design, and starting option choices are of wonderful quality, Claudia was responsive and easy to work...
with. Highly recommend!
