Our decision to use Melinda for our wedding invitations was an easy one!!
First, we love supporting local vendors. Melinda has an adorable studio located in Stonybrook that made us feel at home. Plenty of samples to look over. Melinda is extre...
mely talented. Once we explained our wedding and our vision for the invitations Melinda took over and created us an amazing product. The quality of paper and envelopes was by far 100 times better than any invitation we ever recieved from an online store or spect out through online stores. Best part of our experience was how dedicated Melinda was to meeting our deadline. We will ALWAYS use Melinda for any invitations or cards going forward. Thanks again!!
Melinda Cantor Designs was amazing!! My fiance & I had Save The Date Cards, Wedding Invitations, Calligraphy on Envelopes & a special unique seal. Not only was Melinda totally professional, knowledgeable & fair, but, because she has so many yea...
rs of experience in this industry, she also made suggestions & recommendations that proved to create beautiful photo cards. I would highly recommend Melinda Cantor Designs to anyone!!
We are so thankful we found Melinda for our wedding invitations. Melinda went above and beyond to help us make our invitation dreams a reality. Melinda's knowledge of invitation etiquette helped us with things I would not even have thought abou...

Thank you for your compliments. Very happy to have played a role leading up to your big day! Every bride deserves it! Wishing you much happiness in your new marriage. ;-)
I feel so lucky to have found Melinda to design my wedding invitations. Originally my mom hired Melinda for my bridal shower invitations, and after seeing how beautifully they came out, I knew I would be in great hands. Melinda is warm, carin...
g and passionate about her business. I felt very taken care of and that my wedding was a top priority. Every time I met with Melinda, she really took the time to walk me through the creative process, from design options and colors, down to the exact verbiage that would be on my invites. What she created absolutely blew me away (and I still receive so many compliments about how beautiful and elegant my wedding invitations were!) Her process was so seamless and she is incredibly accommodating. Melinda also created gorgeous ceremony programs and cocktail napkins for my wedding with font to match my invitations so they all tied in together which I loved! I would highly recommend Melinda to anyone I know looking for beautifully made invitations.

Your compliments are greatly appreciated Kristina!! My best work happens when I work with such nice people as you and your mom! I wish you a lifetime of happiness, you certainly deserve it!
Melinda was very easy to work with and helped us to create an amazing invitation. When we initially met, we had a limited idea of what kind of invitation we wanted. Melinda sat down and showed us different options and styles of invitations and ...
helped us to create a unique invite based on our preferences. We received many compliments on our invitations. Melinda was even able to print an additional batch of invitations when our venue capacity increased.

So glad we were able to meet your needs and create you something one of a kind! It was a pleasure working with you both ;-)
We love our Save the Dates!
Melinda has been so helpful and flexible to work with. I didn’t know the first thing about Save the Dates or invitations, so I’ve really appreciated her knowledge, creativity and patience. She’s made this whole pro...
cess very easy even during these difficult times (covid wedding planning)- she’s been so accommodating. Can’t wait to see our invitations!
And I already know I’ll be calling Melinda for invitations for future events too. :)
Melinda’s work is amazing! I met with her twice and could not have had a better experience. She gave us 100% of her full attention and listened to exactly what we were looking for and gave us options/opinions which made our invitations even bet...
ter! Additionally, she is such a sweet person. She is easy to get in contact with and very responsive. Her work is impeccable. She has SO many options to chose from and can customize and create literally anything you could think of or want. She is very easy to deal with and beyond accommodating. Prices are affordable too - go see her! You’ll be so happy you did! She will work with you to create something in your price range and best part is you get to see it in person and make any changes you want/customize it to your liking before final prints. Melinda is an amazing woman who puts her whole heart into her work and cares about you as a customer. 5 stars are not enough - she needs 100!!!
We spoke to and met with so many vendors throughout planning our wedding that only a few stand out and Melinda is one of them. From the moment I met Melinda at a Bourne Mansion showcase she was receptive to my ideas and extremely flexible. My...
fiancé and I met with her and placed the order the same day for our Save the Dates and invitation ensemble. Melinda presented us with different options to work within our price point.
Covid struck before our invitation ensemble was completed. When it came in Melinda met us at the car with her mask on and wished us the best. Working with her was a very pleasant experience and we will be repeat customers for any invitations we need in the future!
I walked into Melinda’s store with no vision and no experience designing invitations. She took the time to get to know who I was and used our conversation to help us design the invitation of our dreams. We were not only over the moon with the f...
inal product but were so impressed in how Melinda communicated with us every step of the way. On top of that, she made the challenges of Covid manageable. We decided to use Melinda for most of our wedding decor! I would recommend Melinda for any of her services!

Thank you Andie! I look forward to working with you (and Mom) again soon :-)
Melinda and her team were amazing to work with! I contacted her based on an invitation suite photo I found on social media and she worked with me through facetime, emails and phone calls to effortlessly replicate what I was looking for in my bu...
dget! She gave great suggestions and quick responses and the end result was AMAZING! Sadly, COVID-19 put a damper on my wedding and I didn't need the additional details and stationary I was going to order in addition to my invitations. We are looking at doing another larger celebration and I will definitely being using Melinda again. Can't recommend enough!
Response from the Vendor on 08/19/2020

great to work with and made the invitation process seamless, we really valued her opinion and suggestions. We highly recommend her!
When my daughter was looking for someone to help with invitations, we knew who to immediately turn to. Melinda Cantor knocked it out of the park. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. Being in the business myself and running the day-to-to...
operations of Lessing’s Hospitality Group, we were over-the-moon with the invitations that Melinda put together. It was a true pleasure to work with her and I can’t thank her enough for how perfect she helped make my daughter's wedding day.
Response from the Vendor on 01/14/2020
Thank you! It was my pleasure working with your family as well.
I look forward to working with you on many more exciting events you may have.
I loved working with Melinda and her team! When my fiancé and I first met with Melinda, I knew in my head what I wanted but had a hard time picturing it. After telling her just a couple of details, she made my vision come to life! My fiancé als...
o wanted to add his touch to it, and Melinda put together a beautiful invitation that represented the both of us. She made the process so easy and talked us through everything. We also needed our invites done by a certain time, and they were able to get done with no problems at all! Melinda also stayed in touch with me through email - updating me and sending me examples along the way always making sure I approved and was happy with each step. I have received so many compliments already on my invitations and it’s only the beginning. I plan on going back to her for my welcome bags and favors as well. Thank you Melinda and team! I’m one happy bride!

Melinda is great to work with. She gave us a ton of options to consider for our invitations while staying in budget. They came out fantastic!
We had the best experience using Melinda and her team. Our invitations were beautifully assembled and everything I was looking for. I found the online invitations were lacking what I had always envisioned for a wedding invitation and found that...
it was very time consuming to do. Melinda made everything so simple and easy. I was able to get all the response, accommodation, and reception cards plus invitations all within my budget! I highly recommend!
If you want so many options for custom invitations, then you are at the right place! I met with a few other vendors and Melinda by far was the best. She totally got my vision and worked within my budget. I highly, highly recommend!
Picked up our wedding invitations this weekend and they are beautiful! I had a great experience working with Melinda. She worked with my vision and allowed me to pull ideas from a bunch of different samples to create my own invitation. She was ...
great at communicating every detail and decision and answering all of my questions. She worked within my budget and even lined my envelopes for me, which we were originally supposed to do. That saved us so much time!! I would highly recommend her to anyone for their events. Thank you so much for everything Melinda! :)
Melinda was absolutely AMAZING! I came across her on the knot when I noticed my friends invite as her profile pic. I spoke to my friend who highly recommended her, and she was more than I could of expected. She was patient kind and worked to ma...
ke sure our invite was everything we wanted and in our price range! I can not say enough great words about her and the experience and the outcome of my invites! She made the whole process so easy and worth every penny, and stress free for me! I would go back to her for anything else I need in the future!! TThank you again Melinda!!!
Very creative, lots of options. Will take care of as much or as little as you want. Invites are beautiful and custom motifs are amazing.
Melinda, the owner, is a true artist and professional. She designed my wedding invitations as well as my wedding programs. I cannot express just how beautiful she made our invites. Usually people throw them out after the event has taken place...
. I must say, many people saved our invites. She is a perfectionist and works in a timely fashion. If you are looking for beautiful invites at a reasonable price, Only You is the place to go!
They were gorgeous and exactly what we were looking for! Prices are slightly high but because we ordered our engagement party invites from them, we received a discount so the price was less than we were expecting to pay. They also have a good s...

Being a designer for over 30 years, I understand what the client wants because I listen. I want to know all about the couple, the venue and all the important wedding details. From there I will design something that speaks to their very special occasion. No two weddings are alike nor should their wedding invitations. Whether it be a first time wedding the second time around, it should be special! I will make sure of it at any budget. Make an appointment, I'd love to meet you!
