o she is working with and takes extreme great pride in her work and making the experience perfect. We got in contact with Molly for custom wedding invitations. When we saw other invitations, nothing was unique to our special wedding in Chicago and we felt on several occasions forced to settle with a certain type of wedding invite. Molly worked through every detail with us from sharing inspirational photos, to sharing SEVERAL different custom art pieces, font types, working through our final designs and picking out the perfect paper, envelope, cover wrap, and final touches. We had a tight deadline to ensure guests has enough time to send back RSVPs and Molly absolutely delivered. The number of compliments received after our invitations went out have been beyond what we could have envisioned. With all the stress that wedding planning creates, I can tell you Molly made this process effortless and we feel extremely grateful for coming across her and trusting her with the perfect wedding invitations. This was by far the best of our wedding planning activities. If you want someone that will have the same level of passion and care you have for making your special day a priority, Molly is hands down the best. While we don’t plan on getting married again :) , we plan on connecting with Molly again on custom designs for future events.

When you start the search of wedding invitations, you have two options - to do something generic from a stationary store or online, or to hire a designer and spend more on your invitations than on your entire wedding. Molly is neither of those ...
things - she is an artist! After reading Molly's reviews, I had to contact her, and when I did I got the sweetest, friendliest email back. We met with her in person to start going over some ideas, I did not know what I wanted but I knew what I didn't want and she was very receptive to that. She showed us a book of past invitations and it really seemed like her talent was endless! The best thing about Molly is she will work with you until it's exactly what you want, she doesn't put any restrictions on things, or tell you something can't be done. She will send you mock-ups and examples until it's perfect. We ended up with a 100% unique invitation that no one will ever have, and we feel that what we paid was incredibly reasonable. You can tells he does this because she loves it, in her office there is a chalk board of all the names of her current couples. Molly also understands that weddings are a living thing, and sometimes you have months or sometimes you have weeks to get these out the door and she is very easy to work with in terms of when your invites go to print or when you will receive them. Most of her services are a la carte, and she gives you many options so you never feel like you are choosing a package that may not fit your needs. She is a wonderful person, very easy to talk to, to be around and was simply a joy to work with! My only regret is that my wedding is over and I don't get to continue designing with Molly!

se they were original. Molly is very enthusiastic and wants you to be happy. When I first went to Molly's studio, she showed us designs she had created for other couples, I was a little concerned because I didn't particularly like any of them, but the reason for that as it turns out, is because Molly's sole focus is on making an invite that the bride and groom like, not what she likes. So what she was showing us were other couples' visions and styles. There's no possible way that I could have come up with these invites on my own. And for a completely custom design, she was actually very reasonably priced. I did my research before signing a contract with her and I was getting quotes that were double and triple of what she charged us. She also had all of the addresses printed onto the envelopes for us, put on the stamps, and mailed them out. The entire process from initial phone call to invites in the mail took awhile, but let me tell you it was so worth it. Molly is awesome and worth the money, you won't be disappointed!!!

Soon after the first meeting she started working on designs, wordings, formats where you can choose from and if you were stuck on 2 or 3 designs - she will play with those designs until they are to your liking :) The next meeting with her she had printed out the designs on different papers and had everything ready for me to choose from where I was able to feel and see how everything will come together once it is mailed out.

ll be a part of the celebration. I was trying to figure out how I could put a wedding together within 7 weeks, going into the winter holidays, and actually be able to make it happen. Enter Molly. Molly not only helped me plan the wedding, she designed my invitations and thank-you cards, crafted my bridal bouquet (along with all the other flowers), and made all the decorations for the church (which I still have and use at Christmas). I had wanted to use some type of a rose on my invitations, and couldn’t find anything I liked. Molly painted a beautiful rose, and used it as the background for my invitations. As a wedding gift, Molly gave me the framed painting, which I have hanging on my wall, and underneath it sits my bridal bouquet in a vase. I also have a framed invitation on the wall, and the flowers for my mother and father (both deceased now) are tucked behind the corner of each frame. Such memories of a happy time! Zoom to today. My son is getting married in a couple of months. He is from Ohio, his fiancé is from Texas. We were trying to find a way to carry on the theme of “Ohio meets Texas”, but again, couldn’t find anything we liked. I finally had a “moment” and realized I needed to call Molly! I explained our vision, and she came through for us as I knew she would! She painted my future daughter-in-law’s bouquet and incorporated the bouquet along with the states into beautiful invitations and thank-you cards. We are currently working on itineraries and programs, and I can’t wait to see what is coming! I love that Molly was a huge part of my wedding so, so many years ago, and now she is once again playing a part in my son’s upcoming wedding. I love that Molly can take what we “imagine”, and creatively turn it into something stunning! If you are looking for someone to take your “imagines” and turn them into something extraordinary, Molly (Maxe Designs) is your gal!

When we say easy to work classic examples of Molly going beyond our expectations was meeting us close to our home to drop off final prints, turning around corrections from mistakes we made on our guest list in less than 24hrs (fedex things overnight), and even laying out our mass programs with close attention to detail.

Molly did a fabulous job in designing our wedding invitations. She went above and beyond! When we had to order more invitations, she worked in a timely manner. Not only is she professional, but she takes the time to get to know us as a couple, ...

eceived them, but to tell us how much they LOVED them and how much they looked just like real tickets. Words can't describe how excited we were to hear this! Molly has been an absolute pleasure to work with! Not only did she listen to exactly what we wanted, she was very patient and she made herself very accessible throughout the process. I met Molly at a busy bridal expo. From the first time she contacted us, she included such personal elements about us, our wedding and our vision, that we never felt like just another pair of clients. She had actually listened to what I said when I first met her on that busy day! It felt as if Molly really wanted to help make our day special and wonderful. She was always so energetic, excited and positive that you couldn't help but be the same. Molly certainly exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be any happier! She saw our vision and helped it become more than we could have ever imagined! Absolutely amazing!

y questions. When I walked away from her booth, I told my sister that I would have to find a way to work with Molly, even if it meant rearranging my wedding budget a bit. The designs Molly created for me are breathtaking!!!! Could I have printed basic invitations myself and saved a bit of money? Sure, but I NEVER would have had the peace of mind that I had working with Molly. I have no artistic bones in my body but I would tell Molly what I liked and didn't like about something, she'd tweak it, and send a new design to me either later that night or the following evening. She even hand-painted me a keepsake box that matched my wedding invitations exactly! Work with Molly, there's no way you could be disappointed!!!! I almost forgot--just before Molly shipped my designs to me, she asked if I wanted her to pick up the stamps for the RSVP envelopes and add them to my final bill. I said yes and when my designs arrived in the mail, she had the envelopes stuffed and ready for me to address, stamp, and seal! What a blessing this was!
