Maria Gossard Designs

Maria and her team are extremely knowledgeable and talented. We are absolutely thrilled with our wedding paper products as well as Maria’s services with event design and flowers. Maria listens to our ideas and artfully pulls everything together with her cohesive vision and execution. She really goes above and beyond- we couldn’t be happier!

Maria and her team made our invitation dreams come true. Our invitations were exactly what we envisioned them to be. They were beautiful, elegant and timeless. We received so many compliments on them from our guests. Maria is the best to work with and very knowledgeable about invitation etiquette. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a custom invitation. We loved her work so much that we had her make our table assignment sign and table place cards. Thank you so much Maria for all that you have done for us!

Maria was excellent to work with from the very beginning. We entered her shop and she immediately helped us capture our vision for our day. She takes the time to get to know you and her design team makes sure it is perfect to your tastes and needs. She really executed what we had envisioned and made it a reality. The invitations, stationary, and thank you cards are exquisite and I don’t think I have seen their equal outside of period films... which was even better than our wildest dreams. Our guests are still raving about the invitations, both their quality and design! She thinks of every detail: big and small including ones that hadn't even crossed our minds. She is so knowledgeable about her craft, etiquette, design and event coordination you will not regret working with Maria and her team!

There are no enough words to express how amazing Maria and her team are. They created my save the dates, wedding invitations, florals, and design for my whole wedding. Everything was beyond beautiful. The flowers were everything I wanted and more. The design within my venue was absolutely stunning. My guests were amazed with how great the venue looked and said “they had never seen it look as good as it did on my wedding day”. I could not have asked for anything more from Maria. She was a main part in making my big day everything I have dreamed of.

Maria is a dream to work with. Her attention to detail and passion for her craft is what an designer, who is designing not only her own invitations but her sister’s invitations, looks for in a print shop. Maria took my designs and printed them on high quality paper and made these invitations absolutely stunning. Maria also designs her own invitations, I was able to look at a few of her incredible designs along the walls of her shop. From one bride to another, you can put your faith in Maria to create and print a stunning invitation suite for your wedding.

Maria not only designed us invitations that were truly so beautiful and perfect for our wedding but she also designed us an extension card to relay that our date had changed due to postponements and relaying all the information our guests would need without needing to make an entire new invitation suite. The process was so much fun, Maria is so easy to talk with and very personable - she really makes it such a special experience for you and your partner. You never realize how much your wedding invitations actually mean to you until you actually have them and these are something my husband and I will cherish forever. I'm actually having my wedding flowers preserved and displayed in a frame with my invitation! Highly recommend having Maria do your invitations!

We were fortunate to have found Maria and her team when we were looking to have our invites redone for our THIRD rebook during COVID! We purchased invites, maps, signage, menus, place cards, and programs from Maria and had a wonderful experience. My professional background is in Brand and Product Development in Luxury stationery and greeting cards so the invites and paper products for the wedding were one of the most important elements for me. I was beyond impressed with Maria from start to finish! Maria was very collaborative and communicated with us regularly via facetime during the design and production process. She listened to what we wanted for our overall event vision as well as what was important to us in the invites themselves. Maria also took our budget into account and helped us create absolutely stunning invitations. One of our dear friends is an executive for the stationery industries leading luxury brand and she called our invites 'Absolutely Stunning!" I mention 'budget' above. I am using that term VERY loosely. Maria is a true artist and creates luxury invites with premium papers, thermography print, custom monograms, etc. so as you can imagine these are not the bargain variety $99.99 for 100 invites, but if you are looking to make a truly 'WOW' opening statement to your guests, especially for a black tie wedding, Maria is amazing. As a bride I would absolutely recommend Maria, and as someone from the paper industry I would recommend her work as well. Thank you Maria for all you did to bring our invites and other items to life! They truly helped unify the design story for our big day!

Maria and her staff are incredible! We came to Maria after receiving invitations from an online company we were not at all pleased with. Maria revamped everything! She designed the most beautiful gold thermography invitations I have ever seen! Every detail including the packaging she placed them in was thought through and perfect! Our guests raved about how stunning the invitations were and told us numerous times it set such a stage for the classy event we were hoping to plan. She designed our table numbers, seating chart, vector art, menu and place cards as well! She was absolutely incredible! I cannot sing her praises enough! If you want unique and beautiful details for your wedding work with Maria and her team! You will not be disappointed! They are a rare gem in the Dayton area!

Maria did a wonderful job on our invitations. Many family and friends have complimented them and were amazed when they arrived in the mail. Maria is friendly and works hard to make sure customers are satisfied. She made us feel at home in her shop.

Getting to meet Maria and her team was one of the best things that has happened to me. I was struggling for weeks to try and find the perfect place or website to do my invites. Maria and her team took my design I purchased from Etsy and made it work with this beautiful Italian paper she and I chose. They are beautiful and turned out perfect and the way I wanted them. I highly recommended Maria Gossard designs for all future brides, the printing is also done in the shop (very convenient). She’s the best.

We used Maria Gossard Designs for our wedding invitations, placecards, programs, and several small signs at our reception. Before going to Maria Gossard, I initially tried to design my invitations online on my own, but I was having a hard time getting the exact colors and design that I wanted. Since I spent a lot of time trying to design my own and ended up not being successful, I came to Maria on a bit of a time crunch. She and her team designed and printed all the products I needed quickly so I could get my invitations sent out on time. I was very impressed with the design they came up with for me. I wanted something a little different than other wedding invitations I had seen, and they helped accommodate what I wanted. They listened to my ideas of what I was looking for but also used their creative vision and expertise. We would definitely recommend Maria Gossard Designs for any invitation and printing services you need.

Maria has been great to work with. My fiancé was really impressed with Maria when he first met her and said he is very confident in her work for our wedding. Maria made sure when I first met her with my Mom that I bring my fiancé back to meet with her to discuss our vision for our stationary. She is very thoughtful. I really appreciate Roger and Maria being able to get my save-the-dates completed last minute before my vacation, so a lot of the save-the-dates could be passed out while visiting with my fiancé’s out of town family. Everyone has loved our save-the-dates! I am really looking forward towards Maria’s design for our invitations! Most importantly though, I really appreciate how Maria is so open about bringing her faith into her work. God is using her to touch a lot of peoples lives through her stationary. Thank you Maria!

Working with Maria was such a blessing. I found her through The Knot. We had our first phone consult and I knew she and her team was the perfect match. She understood what I was envisioning and was able to show me around her shop via FaceTime! She even went out of her way to send paper samples to me. It was a long distance relationship- I am in Massachusetts! Unfortunately, I never got to meet her. However, I do hope to. She and Roger were amazing to work with. After our RSVPs came back from guests, I called her again to design the seating chart, place cards, and table numbers. My cousin, who got married when I was very little, has a beautiful seating chart hung in her home. I sent her photos of what it looked like. They came up with a beautiful design that I cannot wait to hang in my home. We received many compliments on all of our stationary. If you decide to go with Maria, you will be very happy. She is kind and warming and Roger is attentive. I cannot wait to call her again! — I’d also like to add: my fiancé hand painted our save the date. I sent Maria a photo of it. She and Roger worked magic and were able to add it to our invitation. It was absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so much!

Marias flower arch was the highlight to our wedding. she made sure I had all of the florals I needed. she also made our beautiful water colored monogram invitations. her services are impeccable! I highly recommend her. Thanks again, Maria!

Maria provides you with such elegant and special pieces for your wedding invites that no one else will have. She takes the time And has so much patience to provide you with what your dream envisions. I would highly recommend!!

Working with Maria and her team has been a complete pleasure. Her thoughtful design and respect for our opinion has been nothing short of amazing. We’re still receiving compliments from our guests about our invitations.

Maria and her team have been so wonderful to work with! She is truly an artist and has helped me carry out my wedding vision.

Bill and I could not be happier with Maria and Roger. Our invitations in particular were nothing less than beautiful and stunning! We had so many compliments. What started our inspiration from my mother's wedding invitation years ago into a full team effort collaboration between Maria's creative team and our vision, we could not be happier. We also incorporated a watercolor monogram and Maria suggested using handmade Italian paper and the invitations turned out absolutely STUNNING! We also used a wax seal that Maria personally did herself to each invitation with beautiful satin ribbon on each one. We will cherish our wedding forever and so happy we have our invitation as a keepsake. You will not be disappointed. Sincerely, William and Stacy Spence

Working with Maria Gossard Designs has been one of the highlights of our wedding planning tedious adventure. Maria, the owner, is a rare gem, a reference in terms of etiquette, an adorer of beautiful things and a faithful listener. She showed patience and devotion in order to provide us with the most beautiful stationery for one of the most important day of our lives. Flowery invitations on Italian handmade paper, colorful church programs, mouth-watering menus both in English and French ... What a indescriptible feeling to finally discover your visions vividly on paper. They did indeed made us look good on paper !

Maria Gossard Designs is a simply. I cannot speak highly enough of Maria, her company and her work. From the minute you walk into her adorable shop filled with her stunning work, you just know she is something special. Not only do Maria and her designers create unique, romantic and beautiful work, she is a gem herself. Maria takes the time to get to know you as a person and is able to take your vision and turn it into a reality. She is a dream to work with. Thank you Maria for helping us with our wedding Save the Dates, invitations, place settings and seating chart! Trust me -- she is amazing.

Maria Gossard Designs made our beyond beautiful hand drawn custom monogram and letterpress invitations for our wedding! She is an incredible designer and is an amazing talent at transforming a venue and creating beautiful floral arrangements for both ceremony and celebration, which she did for us! I would hands down send anyone to this amazing woman!

I worked earlier this summer with Maria at a beautiful wedding at the Dayton Art Institute. She is an extremely creative thinker and her work ethic and integrity are unmatched. Working with her enables other vendors like myself to pull off our own creative goals, thanks to the amazing work and attention to detail that she has already put into place. I look forward to working with her again soon on our next project!

Maria's designs are exceptional! All things stunning and epic! Maria and her team heard us out and created the design that was all I wanted and more but just couldn't seem to express in words.

Incredible. Truly one of the most beautiful details of my wedding. I wanted a timeless gold and ivory look with hints of navy and our monogram crest. Maria and her team worked diligently to capture exactly what I wanted. She communicated effectively and efficiently until the package was on our doorstep. Our wedding would not have been the same without her designs. Very thankful for their vision and hard work.

Maria and her staff were wonderful and so creative. I appreciated her professionalism and her work was flawless. Everyone loved the invites and seating chart! They all were so impressed! Highly recommend!! Thank you for everything!

Maria and Roger worked with us to create beautiful custom pieces for our wedding from our invitation suite to our hospitality bag cards, ceremony program, menu, and seating charts. They are both extremely creative and were helpful throughout the process as we brought our vision to life. Our guests raved about all of our printed materials. These pieces were an important part of our celebration and we will cherish them forever!

When I say my wedding guest were wowed by the invites, that’s an understatement. Maria and her team worked endlessly and the finished product was so well received we had serval people request her information for their wedding. If you are looking for quality, look no more. Maria and her team are passionate professionals that have a eye for perfection. They are patient and will work endlessly to get the job done.

Maria Gossard Designs blew our minds in every single aspect for my and my husband's October 20, 2018 wedding. My mom and I worked with Maria, and her stunning touch brought every single one of our printed pieces to life. We ordered our invitations with RSVP cards and envelopes, programs, table numbers, gobo monogram, thank you cards, custom cocktail napkins, and seating board from Maria Gossard Designs, and they were absolutely perfect. Every detail was beautiful, and contained consistent themes either tied to our colors, monogram, or venue that ran through every piece. We were actually on a pretty tight timeline, but Maria and Roger made it happen for us on time and were happy to accommodate our every request and offer advice when we needed it. They are, quite simply, fabulous and I highly recommend Maria Gossard Designs for all your wedding needs - you will be more than thrilled with your printed wedding items!

Maria Gossard 's created sophisticated and elegant graphic designs for our Ceremony program, and our table number cards. Where she shines brightly is how she was able to quickly deliver our Guest List on a stylish mirror-less border mirror matching our wedding motif. Both Allen I can't say enough about how Maria helped us through our last minute details to complete our wedding day preparations on time! Thank you for helping us make our special day spectacular! Annette & Allen

Working with Maria on my invitations was effortless and I was thrilled with the result. She made sure everything was perfect and had them ready for me when she said she would since I was on a time crunch. I can’t wait to work with her on the day of items!

Maria was amazing to work with and her work is one of a kind. She made our wedding invitation ideas come to life. She also did our seating chart and thank you cards to match our invitations. I had so many compliments from friends and family on how our invitations looked. I highly recommend her for any invitations, cards, etc.

Maria was not able to complete what I asked of her in regard to our wedding invitations. The invitations were over a week late getting back to me. Upon picking the invitations up, they were not sealed and ready to mail nor were the stamps on the envelopes. I proof read and initialed the invitations for the exact wording and they were still printed incorrectly. The design of the invitations was done last minute as well. We paid a lot of money for her services and she was not able to deliver.

Maria took the ideas we had for our big day to a whole new level! She patiently worked with me on our invitation design, which set the tone for the whole event. Guests were blown away with the quality of each curated piece in the suite. She then made magic with her event design - it's like she could read my mind, while also somehow helping find creative ways to stick to our budget. A month out from the wedding, we're still getting comments on how beautiful everything was! Thank you Maria!

Pure breathtaking magic is what Maria is capable of. We came to Maria in a bit of a pickle. We tried to design and print our invitations ourselves, we were not getting the results of what we wanted and the vision we saw in our heads was not coming true. We came to her and she was able to take what we had started, listened to our vision, and put it on paper in our invitations. With her amazing eye for colors, fonts, and design she was able to take our invitations to the next level, making them absolutely stunning. Maria was the answer all along. She can truly work magic when it comes to taking invitations (or really anything wedding ) to the next level ensuring that your vision and personality comes through on paper. Can not thank her enough for helping us through the wedding planning process. She is absolutely wonderful!

Every girl dreams of her wedding day, and hopes that others will help make her vision a reality. Maria Gossard was one of my first stops. She not only listened to what I wanted, my dreams, but took me through each step of how we would get there. Her team took my vision and designed a custom logo/brand that is now the theme of my wedding. Every item printed, or designed was completely customized to me. From the moment I stepped foot in her door, I felt like the only bride in the world. Ladies, get ready for an experience of a lifetime!

I can't adequately express our sincere appreciation and gratitude for Maria's guidance and expertise with our wedding invitations! She is so professional and knowledgeable. We have received so many compliments on our invitations from friends who have gone out of their way to tell how beautiful they were. Thank you, Maria!

Our experience with Maria was phenomenal! First and foremost, I loved that Maria spent the first half of our original consultation simply getting to know me and my fiance. It meant a great deal to us that she put such an emphasis on getting to know us, and then she used that knowledge to design our invites perfectly! We ended up choosing to have our wedding invitations letter-pressed using the incredible printers in the shop. We were able to come watch the process and see the invites come to life - and we even got to make a few ourselves! The finished products are absolutely stunning and full of character. This was such a fun way to make our wedding invitations even more special. I highly recommend Maria Gossard Designs to everyone!

Breath taking, amazing, and genuine. A real one of a kind experience and the final project, exquisite.

Stunning, best word to describe Maria Gossard Designs. My son and future daughter-in-law are planning their destination wedding in 2018. We have been looking for a unique invitation but have been shown many catalogs and directed to computer websites. When we walked into Maria’s show room, I immediately felt like I was in a fine stationary and invitation boutique. I felt like a little girl in a candy store. I was surrounded by samples of invitations made from the finest papers, papers from all over the world. Maria genuinely listened to my son and his fiancés story and guided us to a one of a kind invitation, and within the budget. 😊

Beautiful, Unique, One of a kind. An artist who is able to design a look with amazing detail to represent each individual occasion with class and sophistication

My fiancé, Alex, and I came to Maria Gossard for our wedding invitations because of her passion and dedication to providing exquisite work. Not only were our invitations stunning, but she made the entire experience beautiful. Just speaking with her, you can tell she has your best interest at heart. She will create something for you that will last a lifetime. Maria, we are so happy that you were a part of our wedding.

Maria is a wonderful, sweet woman who is as unique and exquisite as the work she produces. Maria worked one-on-one with my fiance and I to create unique, personalized invitations, menus, and place cards that represented us and fit into our budget. The options that Maria offers are endless and she can create a range of products from simple and classic to modern and cutting-edge. Although the work she produces is amazing and we have received endless compliments on our invitation suite, the small "extras" are what really set her and her business apart from other vendors. She spends extra time hand wrapping and packing each set of items, adds personalized thank you cards to all purchases, and includes pieces, with no charge, to enhance the relationship between future spouses during the wedding planning. I would highly recommend Maria for all your stationary needs!

I simply cannot say enough about the excellent quality and outstanding personal service i received from this business owner and her employees! She is nothing less than a 1st class lady and one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet💖 I had 2 of my daughters get married within 2 mos of each other. Maria made all of the invitations, large greeting signs, seating charts, tables #s, and a number of other details , all of which were of the highest quality! I had a rush on almost everything and I even made a big mistake on one item and her response to all?..... we'll get this done, make necessary changes and even deliver for my convenience, since she knew I was so rushed. This was all for 2 bridal showers and 2 large weddings and I can honestly say she and her staff went waaaayyyy over and above what needed to be done! Everything they delivered was beyond my expectations and I could not be happier with the products and service I received!! Very highly recommended !😊

They were willing to work with us and create exactly what we were envisioning. They truly treat everything the create as a piece of art. We had beautiful, unique invitations, programs, menus, and name cards with a design that was used throughout the entire event. They are absolutely wonderful at what they do.

Maria was so helpful and kind! She gave us more than we could of imagined.

Maria and her staff did an excellent job on my daughter's wedding invitations and day of items. We were truly blessed to have such wonderful people and exceptional customer service to help my daughter's dream become reality.

My daughter and I went to Maria Gossard's with a budget and an idea in mind for wedding invitations. Maria listened and was able to create beautiful and elegant invitations with the vintage feel that my daughter was hoping for. It was truly a wonderful experience and a pleasure to work with Maria.

Maria was wonderful to work with throughout the entirety of our wedding planning process. I was unfamiliar with what was needed on invitations or what should be included in programs, but Maria and her team guided us throughout the design development even though I was out of state the majority of the time. Our invitations, RSVP cards, programs, and seating charts were absolutely gorgeous and received numerous compliments on their beautiful design. Maria herself is also a joy to work with, and I cannot recommend her and her work enough! Thank you so, so much :)

We were so blessed to work with Maria Gossard Designs and her staff for our daughter's wedding. Roger is a graphic design genius while Maria ensured every detail was handled to perfection. Their expert guidance were wonderful as we worked to incorporate unique ideas to make our daughter’s event special. We also appreciated their patience as we coordinated with our daughter and son-in-law who were living out of town and in a different time zone. While browsing Maria Gossard Designs’ showroom it was obvious they provide the ultimate uniqueness for every occasion and a customization beyond compare. We would highly recommend Maria Gossard and her staff to anyone interested in making their event exceptional.

Maria Gossard Designs did a fabulous job with our daughters wedding printing. Her designs and paper choices were beautiful-they were the perfect finishing touch! Everything was ready when promised even though we were somewhat last minute in making our printing decisions. Her team worked quickly to design and print our order. Her input and suggestions were invaluable!

You don't have to go to the big cities to get amazing, beautiful, high quality invitations and announcements. Just call Maria or stop in and check out her fabulous selection of luxurious papers, ribbons, stationary, and other items for your special event. She designed and printed our Rehearsal Dinner Invitations and we were beyond pleased! Even our son and his bride in Los Angeles were impressed by the quality and design. I highly recommend Maria Gossard Designs for your next event!

Maria's passion for helping others and attention to detail are very obvious in her designs. The special touch that she put on our day meant the world and we couldn't have been more happy with the results. I highly recommend Maria Gossard Designs!

Our experience was excellent! Maria provided a very professional environment . What made the experience even better was the friendly, inviting , courteous way we were treated each and every time we can in. Plus everything was beautiful.

Maria did a great great job designing my invitation. When I saw the inivation, it was even better than I imagined. If I got married again, I will still hire her.

Maria took all the pressure off! And she did it beautifully!
