Nota Bene was recommended to me by a coworker and it did not disappoint. Amy was wonderful to work with and made the whole process easy. She was patient when we didn't quite know what we were looking for and helped us narrow it down quickly. Our invitations were spectacular. So classy and timeless. Highly recommend!
I tried The Knot and Minted and all of the cheaper invitation sites, but none were working for the level of customization and detail I wanted and the robots kept disconnecting my chat. I became extremely frustrated and that is when I started searching for other options. There is nothing like working with a real person and Amy and Nota Bene far exceeded my expectations. I sat down with Amy in her store and in an hour and a half we had my entire invitation suite designed. It turned out better than I could have imagined. It was timeless and simple and classic, exactly the vibe I was going for. Amy was super quick to respond to emails and incorporate last minute changes. Thank you for everything!
I give Amy Bass and Nota Bene a 10 out of 10 for the exquisite quality and design they provided for my daughter's wedding. The invitations, napkins, place cards, welcome cards, and church programs were stunning! We received many compliments! We worked closely with Amy, who made wonderful suggestions when we were out of ideas. Our products were finished in a timely manner despite the very busy wedding season and last minute decisions on our part. I highly recommend Nota Bene for ALL your stationery needs!
Any questions?
Had an amazing experience working with Nota Bene! They picked up on every detail we were looking for and worked very closely with us during the entire process. We received our completed invitations back in less than a week!
I just had my wedding invitations done by Nota Bene and my honest review is that THEY ARE AMAZING. The owner worked closely with us to make sure everything, down to the font sizes and lettering, matched the style we were looking for. The staff was very warm and welcoming, and offered their honest input, which helped a lot in the decision-making process. The invitations turned out so, so beautifully and I've received tons of compliments on them from our guests. Nota Bene also has a huge inventory of an assortment of quality invitation styles. If you can't find your perfect invitation here, I don't know where you would. Highly recommend.
Nota Bene was a dream to work with when designing my wedding invitations. Their commitment in delivering beautiful, quality invitations was apparent throughout the process. We are obsessed with our invitations and have received countless compliments. I definitely recommend Nota Bene for your own invitation needs!

Hi Bethany! Thank you so much. It was a pleasure working with you.
Nota Bene was fantastic to work with from making my Save the Dates, my shower invites and then my wedding invites and church programs. Everything was done with such precision and beauty and I loved the look of all these. My wedding was truly beautiful and working with Nota Bene made all the wedding festivities even that much more special.

Thank you, Rachel! It was a pleasure working with you.
Nota Bene was wonderful to work with! I wasn't comfortable ordering my wedding invitations offline without seeing them in person. I met with Amy and she walked me through all the options and we were able to meet, finalize and order within a few hours. I would recommend working with them for any stationary needs. Also, their shop in Aspinwall is adorable!!!

Thank you, Cristina! We hope to see you again soon and congratulations again!
Amy aT Nota Bene was very helpful, knowledgeable and punctual in her assistance when we chose my daughter’s wedding invitations. Nota Bene has many styles and options for any personality. The Nota Bene store has unique items for sale. The guidance Amy gave me made the process go smoothly and easily. I appreciate all their help at this busy time!

Susan, it was a pleasure working with you! We hope to see you again soon.
We worked with Amy Bass who was very professional and quite knowledgeable. We ordered our wedding invitations as well as the guest placecards from Nota Bene and they were beautiful and arrived in a timely manner. I look forward to working with Amy again when I am planning two more weddings!

Pamela, it was a pleasure working with you and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
Although my fiance and I lacked enthusiasm about picking out invitations, Amy and the other women at Nota Bene made the experience a great one. They were very engaging and able to help steer us to a vision of what we wanted. They also really helped to provide ideas on how to write out the invitations - something I was greatly unprepared for.
Response from the Vendor on 06/26/2019
Krissy, thank you so much! We loved working on your invite and hope to see you again soon.
We received many compliments on our bridal shower and wedding invitations! And, the staff at Nota Bene was very accommodating and fun to work with. Thank you Amy!
Response from the Vendor on 06/26/2019
Thank you, Gina! All the best from the Nota Bene team.
Nota Bene exceeded our expectations in every way. Amy and her team guided us through each step from invitation design to mailing the completed invitations. We also ordered our weekend activities invitation, menu, program and place cards from Nota Bene. Every item was beautiful and helped make the wedding day perfect. Working with them was a wonderful experience!
Response from the Vendor on 06/26/2019
Mary, thank you so much. We loved working with you!
Melissa and the other staff at Nota Bene made getting all of our wedding invites a very easy process. They are very knowledgeable and willing to help with all of your wedding needs! I highly recommend for all invites, save the dates and thank you cards for any occasion!
Response from the Vendor on 06/26/2019
Cara, we loved working on your invite! Many thanks from the Nota Bene team.
These ladies were absolutely amazing! I tried my hand at online invites, but threw in the towel when I realized (after showing the samples I had ordered to about 7 other people) I completely forgot to include the actual DATE of my wedding!! All three of these wonderful creators sat with me (and my ~very~ helpful parents) and helped me design exactly what I had in mind! All of their options and styles were just gorgeous too, so it was hard for me to choose! I mostly worked with Anne, who is just lovely! If you're looking for a great place for your invitations (or anything really, I was BLOWN AWAY by how much they can do!!), look no further than Nota Bene!
Response from the Vendor on 06/26/2019
Mary Kate, we loved working with you and hope to see you in the shop again soon!
Huge range of invitation suites, with many customizable options. Really took the time to show us all the options - which got a little overwhelming! We thought our invitation suite was beautiful, and the communication was easy and simple.
Response from the Vendor on 06/26/2019
Thank you, Alex. It was a pleasure working with you!
We had a great experience with getting our save the dates and invitations from Nota Bene. We were a little overwhelmed with all of the potential options available and appreciated their patience and guidance to find options that worked for both of us. We loved the final products and got wonderful feedback about them from our guests as well.
Response from the Vendor on 06/26/2019
Thank you, Alexandra! Congratulations again and we hope to see you soon.
Working with Nota Bene was a seamless and incredibly enjoyable process. They couldn't have been more helpful! They sat down with us and helped my mom and I design the perfect save the date and invitation -- always making sure we knew all our options and got what we were looking for. HIGHLY recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 06/26/2019
Thank you, Eugenia! It was a joy working with you!
The Nota Bene team did an amazing job on our rehearsal dinner invites, enclosure cards and place cards. It was a seamless experience from our first consultation to the finished products! Amy helped me and my mother in law find the perfect invite and created a custom enclosure card to match. The place cards were adorable and matched our wedding colors and theme. Overall, I cannot recommend them more. If you are looking for wedding invitations, they will exceed expectations! Thank you so much Nota Bene team!!
Response from the Vendor on 06/26/2019
Annie, it was wonderful working with you! All the best!
Nota Bene is amazing. I had to redo my invitations because I didn’t like how the initial choice turned out and they were patient and created such a unique look for my modern and romantic wedding style. Loved the invitations and my save the dates!
Nota Bene provided such a wonderful experience for choosing our wedding invitations!! They really listened to what I was looking for and gave honest advice, which I appreciated so much. The shop itself is beautiful and welcoming and there are endless options to find the wedding invitation of your dreams! I will find an excuse to keep coming back for years to come!
We worked with Melissa Crimmins for our wedding paper products and she has been phenomenal! Really takes her time getting to know the feel of your wedding and helping you assemble the perfect invitation suite. She also helps with the small details like wording, what dress code to use, and making sure you didn't forget to think about any little piece. We used Nota Bene for our invitation suite, place cards, buffet labels, escort cards, napkins, coasters, tags for favors, programs, thank you cards, and cookie bags. They have EVERYTHING! It is so nice to be able to coordinate every paper product in your wedding. Nota Bene is also fabulous because they can print names on place cards, address all your envelopes, etc. It just adds that beautiful finished touch that handwritten pieces just wouldn't. They are prompt in responding to any questions you may have, they take their time with you at appointments so you don't feel rushed, and the turn-around time for proofs is so short it's almost unbelievable. If you want top-notch, professional paper products from a friendly, small business, this is absolutely the place to go! I even live 2 hours away, well worth the drive. I can't say enough good things about Nota Bene and I am so grateful for all their help with my wedding.
Very pleased with my whole experience here. Got many compliments on my William Arthur wedding invites and cost was not all that much more then the common online sites people use. Definitely added a special touch to our event.
My experience at Nota Bene could not have been better. I came to Nota Bene with a classic style invitation that I had found online. After reviewing the many styles that they offer, I couldn't find one that I liked as much. Amy was able to recreate the invitation that I loved by selecting the fonts that matched. My invitations turned out absolutely beautiful, I couldn't be happier. I can't wait to frame mine and hang it up so that we can continue to enjoy it!
I used Nota Bene for our daughter's wedding in May and couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. The whole process was easier than I had anticipated. I worked with Melissa who was very knowledgeable, pleasant and helpful in guiding me through the decision making process for our Wedding Invitations, Thank Yous, Favors and Church Programs. Everything was completed as promised, and beautifully done! I actually miss going into Nota Bene now that the wedding is over. The store is darling and the people are delightful! I highly recommend Nota Bene!!
Nota Bene made ordering my wedding invitations so easy and fun! They have a ton of books to look through and many options to pick from! The communication is top notch, they will work together with you to customize templates or colors if you would like. They helped with the wording, spacing and phrasing of the invitations (which is something that you don't get by ordering from online websites) and made sure that the wording sounded appropriate and elegant. After selecting the design you like- they send you proofs to review, they make edits and changes promptly if needed, they make sure that you have something that is exactly what you want. When I received my invites the quality was excellent, the paper was thick and luxurious and the color was bold and vivid! I got tons of compliments on them. I will definitely recommend them to everyone I know and use them again in the future.
I can't say enough about the wonderful Nota Bene team, ably led by Melissa. My now wife put me in charge of the invitations for our wedding in February 2018, maybe just to give me a job, but mainly because I'm kind of fussy about things.
From start to finish, the team did an excellent job of helping me put it all together, starting with the gorgeous paper in a perfect shade. Many of our friends commented specifically on its elegance.
There are several steps to go through in the invitation process, including deciding on the content, because of limited space. Melissa patiently went through every iteration until we figured out what was most essential to include.
Overall, Melissa's and the team's level of experience and competence was matched only by sure-footed sense of timeless class and elegance.
It's hard for us to imagine a better result.

First off, the store is beautiful.....bright and welcoming with fab merchandise. I especially love their calendars!! There is a separate section where you can peruse hundreds of options for invitations of all kinds and is where the fun begins. Amy and Melissa and their assistants are super knowledgeable and whether you come knowing exactly what you want, sort of what you want, or have no idea and open to suggestions, this is the place. Amy helped me select everything for my daughter's wedding....save the date, invite, menu, programs, place cards and I am undoubtedly forgetting something! It was a process, as my daughter lives in California and I was in Pittsburgh but there were so many options (to satisfy both my taste and my daughter's taste) and along with Amy's patience and a lot of facetime/photos we were able to come up with what we all loved. Bottom line: my daughter really loved that her dog's face was the stamp for the invite and rsvp!!!! Thank you for your tremendous knowedge and help through the whole wedding process.
You should know that I visit Note Bene frequently just for their cards: they are unique, some are funny and very beautiful. It is a full service stationary store!!!
Working with Nota Bene was an amazing experience! They provided all stationery in relation to our Save the Dates, Wedding Invitations, and Day of Stationery including programs, menus, escort cards, gift bags etc. Not only were they extremely professional, but I felt the designs they had to offer were much better quality than anything I could have found online or around Pittsburgh. The designs for the invitations are also one of a kind, offering endless options for color/texture/ and really any personalizing you may want. They were extremely prompt as well, and you will not have any concerns on delays or quality with Nota Bene. I would recommend using Nota Bene on all of your wedding or special event needs, they will take care of you from start to finish. Thanks for making our wedding so special for us! Everyone we spoke with who received our invitations were also impressed with how beautiful and high quality each detail was.
Nota Bene partnered with my fiance and I to find stationery options that blended both of our styles, and we absolutely LOVED everything we ended up using for our wedding! Note Bene brings a level of expertise that made us feel comfortable in making decisions because not only had they already thought through all the details, but they also brought a point of view that gave us fresh ideas to consider. Highly recommend!
Melissa was great to work with through the whole wedding invitation process! She helped make it stress free and we were thrilled with the end result!
My biggest surprise in wedding planning was how much work went into invites and paper products. Nota bene was beyond helpful throughout the entire process and the final products exceeded our expectations. We worked with Alexa from start to finish. She had just gotten married herself so totally understood how overwhelming the process could be. She did everything she could to make sure we were happy with our invites. By the end of our first appointment, she took what we liked from about 6 invitation suites and figured out a way to combine them to make me and the groom happy- she also did it under our budget! The vendor screwed up a few times but Alexa was sure to get exactly what we wanted and communicated any hold ups along the way. We were so happy with note bene that we got matches, napkins, table numbers, charity donation cards, programs, menu cards and our thank you notes through them. The absolute best part (and cherry on top) was Alexa offered to print out our guests addresses on the thank you note envelopes as well. I didn't even realize how much of a time saver that would be- but she really knew her stuff. Highly recommend!
Wonderful customer service and GORGEOUS invitations.
This is such a great place. Alexa was extremely helpful and thorough! The products are stunning!
We had such a great experience working with Amy at Nota Bene for all of our wedding stationary needs! Everything we ordered came in as perfection! The quality of the stationary and elegant style we selected was exactly what we were looking for. So many of our guests commented to us on how beautiful our Save the Dates and invitations were. Nota Bene literally has hundreds of stationary examples to fit any theme or style, and Amy helped guide us through our many different options that fit within our budget. It was truly wonderful to have someone to work with in person rather than doing everything online in an impersonal fashion. We used Nota Bene for our save the dates, invitations, thank you notes, ceremony program, menus and welcome bag itineraries. Now that our wedding is over, we can’t wait to find a new reason to work with Amy and Nota Bene again in the future!
It was a great experience working with Amy and the Nota Bene team. They were patient with us through deciding on our save the dates and wedding invitations, and through the editing process. They took us through all of our options and how we could make something our own. We will continue to go to Nota Bene for all of our stationary needs!
Nota Bene was excellent to work with throughout the entire process. They provided many different options when selecting invitations, thank you cards, ceremony programs, reception menus, escort cards and were prompt and helpful throughout. Highly recommend them to anyone!
We had the pleasure of working with Alexa for our wedding stationary and we could not be happier! Alexa made great suggestions and helped us find the perfect invitation. She was detail oriented, prompt and really easy to communicate with. We are so happy with how the invitation, table numbers place cards came out.
Nota Bene, and in particular, Alexa were absolutely wonderful and truly made our wedding vision come true. We LOVED our paper products - and while initially, we were not exactly sure the "theme" of our wedding, Alexa helped steer us into the direction we wanted to go in and the paper truly set that tone. I could not ask for a better wedding vendor experience. Alexa and Nota Bene were terrific to work with and I would HIGHLY recommend them. I feel grateful they were such an integral part of our wedding day and thankful for all their guidance, courtesy and professionalism - and great eye!
We got everything paper related for our wedding at Nota Bene. Alexa helped us every step of the way and was extremely proficient, helpful and educated on the products she sold! We were very happy with the result and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for wedding stationery!
Both my wedding invitations and bridal shower invites were from Nota Bene and they were absolutely perfect!!! I worked with Melissa, who was outstanding, in helping me find exactly what I wanted. Certianly would use them for future invitations/xmas cards etc.
Alexa at Nota Bene was a dream to work with on my wedding invitation suite. When I went into the adorable Nota Bene shop in Aspinwall, I told her about my vision and budget, and she walked me through several different options that would work. She had patience and gave me various ideas for my invitations. She was so accommodating and the invitations that we created were BEAUTIFUL.
Because she was so easy to work with, I enlisted her expertise in creating dinner menus, wedding programs, and table numbers so that everything would fit nicely together. Of course, I decided this only a few weeks away from my wedding, and Alexa got it done. She also shared the monogram/fonts that we used so that I could print out a few signs on my own.
I would HIGHLY recommend Nota Bene and Alexa for wedding invitations/other paper products. Beautiful work, and a very kind, easy person to work with during a time that can be very stressful.
Melissa at Nota Bene was so great to work with! She was so enthusiastic about our wedding products - Save the Dates, programs, invitations, matchbooks (which people LOVED) cocktail napkins, hand towels - you name it, Melissa was on top of it with mock ups and adjustments basically whenever we needed them. Everything was flawless. I may be biased, but our invitations were the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Like they say, it's all in the details - and Nota Bene is all about making sure the details are perfect!
Amy and her team at Nota Bene went above and beyond to help us with our save the dates, wedding invitations, rehearsal dinner invitations and placecards. If you're thinking of trying to create invitations online, don't waste your time. Nota Bene guided us through every step of the process, gave us great advice and helped us with the correct etiquette!
The ladies at Nota Bene were very pleasant to work with. My husband and I had very different opinions on what we wanted our invitations to look like and they took the time to get us to a point where we both were comfortable with the design and it fell reasonably close to our set budget. The invites/RSVP cards turned out beautifully and we got so many compliments!
Planning the perfect wedding requires great attention to detail. Once the big decisions about size, venue and date are in place the special touches to make the day memorable need to be decided upon. Nota Bene was the perfect choice to carry out my daughter’s vision of an elegant, understated, yet modern mood from the save-the-dates and invitations through the menus, which adorned the tables, to the cylindrical boxes of matches atop the bar. After all of the planning, the day has come and gone, but the quality product and exceptional service at Nota Bene are part of our terrific memories of the day.
This place is AMAZING!! My experience from the very beginning has just been so fun and positive. Also their product is by far the best!! I've worked with Alexa twice (once before in my best friend's wedding and now my own) and she totally listens to you, gives you so many options, understands price ranges, and just has such a great attitude all around. She gets back to you very quickly also, which making working with her awesome. They are just the best around!! I highly recommend, you will not regret it!
Nota Bene and specifically the women who work there gave us the best experience. They helped us with every last detail. They even stood alongside us as we were nit picky and indecisive. When you're picking gradients of black or grey and neither of them are good enough for you and you end up picking a color called mushroom-- that is what great assistance looks like. So yeah, we were that couple and we were completely taken care of. Detail oriented, professional and fun.
Amy and Alexa were incredibly helpful (and flexible) throughout my entire wedding process!! I highly recommend Nota Bene. I was relatively behind on all of my 'to-do lists', and they were so accommodating with their schedules and timelines. They did my save-the-dates, invitations, programs, and place cards, and all turned out better than I could have expected. I wanted to set the right "tone" with my paper products, and with the help of Nota Bene, I did.
The design process was very nice - as they don't push or try to make decisions for you. I had no clue what I wanted for my save-the-dates, and poured through all of their books. I found one I thought I liked. But, after seeing the proof, I wanted to change the entire thing. Alexa was verrry patient through the whole process. For the wedding invitation, I really wanted something beautiful and classic. The brand and style I wanted was pretty expensive, and they offered to show me similar, less expensive options to accommodate my budget.
The staff at Nota Bene was wonderful to work with for our daughter's wedding. Amy showed great patience as we looked through numerous books of invitations looking for exactly what our daughter had in mind. As we proceeded through the process of ordering and providing address lists Amy kept us on track, was always responsive and helpful.
The menu card needed a special logo that Amy helped us include without any difficulty. They were all a joy to work with!
Our experience was amazing! Alexa was awesome to work with, she was very helpful in our search for the perfect invitations! Would absolutely recommend!
Nota Bene is the perfect place for ALL your wedding paper needs. They can do anything from signs, to door hangers, to invitations, save the dates, menus, programs...the list goes on and on! The best part is there selection is out of this world, and if you have an idea that they have never done before they will make it happen! I recommend them to all pittsburgh brides! Not only are they great at what they do, but they are also wonderful to work with!
Loved working with Nota Bene! My invitations are exactly what I wanted and the service was perfect. Thank you!
I LOVE Nota Bene!
They helped us pick invitations that we had rave reviews on. They also did our place cards as well as an additional paper items we placed at each guests seat.
I cannot express how wonderful Alexa is. She put my panic moments at ease and is amazing to work with. She is very professional and very helpful in all situations. She also always responded very quickly.
If you are looking for invites or any paper related products - you will not be disappointed with Nota Bene. They are a Bride's dream to work with.
Two of my children were married within weeks of each other. These ladies did everything right! Each event was unique to that couple. The suggestions made were well thought out and executed the vision of that couple. The attention to detail is exceptional.
These ladies thought of everything to help make the planning process as east and seamless as possible. One of our weddings was on the West Coast. When I came in to pick up our products, once approved, they were packed for shipping!
The quality of all their products has been exceptional! Even down to the paper straws.
They are able to really listen and see the vision each of my couples were executing. They steered them in the right direction and kept them on point. Even if it means scaling back. They don't try and oversell. They only want your day to be exquisite. And ours was. I had guests tell me weeks after what wonderful details there were. That is, in many ways, thanks to NotaBenne.
Working with Nota Bene has been amazing. I highly recommend them for engagement party invites to thank you cards and everything in between! I cannot say enough good things about their service and quality of products. With so many options to choose from, I imagine it is easy to become overwhelmed during this process, but with Amy's help, it has been a breeze.
I worked with Nota Bene for my October 2015 wedding in Chicago, IL at Fourth Presbyterian Church on Michigan Ave and a reception at The Racquet Club of Chicago. Nota Bene provided all of the stationary/paper work including: save the dates, engagement party invites, formal invitations, place cards, ceremony bulletin, welcome back info cards/map, Thank You stationary, etc. with many price points available for each item. However, Evvy and her team guided us through many other aspects of planning our Big Day aside from the paper goods. This was the first wedding for our family and Evvy provided invaluable advice and insight, from telling us how early to send out our Save the Dates for an out of town wedding, to suggesting we have an edible take-home gift for guests. We wanted an elegant, formal, and traditional affair and the stationary by Nota Bene captured exactly that. All of our guests (many from Fox Chapel, PA and Lake Forest, IL) commented on how stunning the formal invitations were. Our church was especially strict in their guidelines for the ceremony program, and Evvy had no problem accommodate every guideline. We had the a great experience working with Evvy, and Nota Bene and I would 100% recommend them for anyone planning a wedding or event!
We used Nota Bene for our wedding invitations and they were so beautiful. We had so many compliments on them and I was in love with all of the options they had! The store itself is also adorable and I picked up several gifts for the wedding party there as well!
When I walked into Nota Bene, I was dreading the idea of having to sort through hundreds of wedding invitations to find the perfect one. Luckily, the knowledgeable staff was able to listen to what I was looking for and then pick out a few for me to choose from - the whole process took less than 10 minutes. I had a lot of questions about the wording on the invites, but the owner worked with me to make sure everything was perfect. Would highly recommend to any bride.
I can't say enough great things about Nota Bene! The staff was super helpful. gave GREAT suggestions when I wasn't sure about my choices and even helped me stay within my budget without sacrificing quality. I live in NC so everything was done over the phone and COULD have been confusing by email but I wouldn't have changed a thing. I give this vendor 5 very solid stars.
Nota Bene is a fantastic stationary source!! One of the best in Pittsburgh. They have thousands of beautiful products to choose from and customize, and incredible customer service! They did all the paper good for my wedding after winning us over with a great experience with the invitations (our invitations were even selected to be featured on the Crane website!). The staff and owner are extremely personable, easy to make appointments with, prompt with communicating back and forth (even on Sundays) and they easily accommodated our often rushed schedule. I could not give them a higher recommendation!!
I worked with Evvy at Nota benefit my wedding & I couldn't be happier! When I first met with Evvy I had no idea what I wanted from a save the date/ invitation etc. Evvy walked me through the process and really helped me visualize what I wanted!! She was so patient & knowledgable.. I knew I was in great hands! In Creating the invitations I was able to picture my wedding , it really helped set the tone for a lot of my decor.
The paper quality was beautiful, I had so many compliments!!! I am in absolute love with my invites and save the dates!! They also did all the paper for the wedding escort cards, menus, programs etc!
Everything matched perfect and was so elegant. They totally exceeded my expectations! Now I want to have another party just to use nota bene!!
I can't thank Evvy & all the ladies enough for helping me with all of my questions, answering my millions of emails , and totally knocking my socks off with their work :)
Evvy & Amy are a true dream team to work with! They take customer service to a whole new level and are incredible at sourcing and guiding you through the process. I had a very specific look and feel that I wanted for the stationary suite in our wedding and they executed on my vision perfectly! They also work with the best vendors in the business! They are truly the best to work with, and they provide the best ideas and perfect amount of input in your decision- making process.
We had our invitations, escort cards and cocktail napkins made by Nota Bene. The entire staff was great every time we visited or emailed. They gladly worked through any change I requested and did so in a timely manner. Everything turned out beautifully and we were very happy.
I know most people do their own invitations now, but I didn't want to have to take the time (and ink!), so I went to Nota Bene.
They did a very nice job and generally I am pleased. Some of the invitation envelopes had ink smears and they did print one envelope that was from the sample they gave me in an excel sheet, so that wasn't great because I paid for "John Smith's" fictitious envelope. Otherwise I liked what they did. Place Cards were great. Would recommend.
Nota Bene has endless options for wedding invitations. They have a wall full of samples from which to choose to customize. The letterpress invitations are absolutely beautiful! We worked with Amy, who was such a pleasure, very professional, and timely! We presented to her with less than 3 weeks before we needed to mail our invitations. She helped us choose the perfect invitations and e-mailed us numerous samples after we made small changes time and time again. They also printed our escort cards. They were ready for pickup the day after I sent her the guest list! I can't say enough good things about Nota Bene and Amy! I will definitely use them in the future!
The only place in Pittsburgh that you should consider for your invitations. Evvy and Amy were great to work with and spent so much time to make sure everything from our Save the Dates to our invitations and programs were perfect!
These ladies are very creative and have a great eye for style and composition...I got many compliments on our invitations!
The service was great. We had one-on-one attention and she was able to guide us through the whole process choosing styles based on our conversation. They were very prompt during the entire process. The invitations turned out beautifully! I was very happy with the whole process and the final product. They are a very good value for the product and the attention that you will receive. They made the entire process extremely easy and exciting!
Nota Bene was wonderful to work with for my wedding invitations. I was under a strict timeline and they were able to get exactly what I wanted extremely quickly. They have a huge selection and are also able to accommodate a low budget. They also did my wedding programs for me when there was less than a week until the wedding! Highly recommend.
Nota Bene was absolutely incredible! They have a very large selection of wedding invitations and were very helpful and patient when we were trying to narrow down our choices. They provided the expertise we were looking for and ensured that our invitations were exactly what we envisioned. They were absolutely perfect!
Working with Evvy at Nota Bene for my wedding invitations was a pleasure. She showed me so many options to fit my vision and budget, and she was patient and helpful when discussing additional ideas to customize our invitations. We absolutely loved the final invitation! We later worked with Evvy to create ceremony programs, escort cards, dinner menus and signage for our wedding day that coordinated with our invitations. Everything was beautiful!
I'm thankful to have had Evvy's guidance throughout the process, and I highly recommend working with Nota Bene!
I used Nota Bene throughout the wedding preparation and event. They published our wedding save the dates, invitations (envelopes and inserts as well), place cards, menus, wedding outlines for gift bags, and table numbers. The staff was beyond accommodating and coordinated each piece together beautifully and flawlessly. Each of our meeting was a breeze, we had the ultimate support of all the staff in tending to our needs. I will continue to use Nota Bene in our future for stationary needs and I highly recommend them to brides who are looking for supreme quality and creativity.
Nota Bene is a hidden gem that provides a lot of different stationary options for your wedding. They helped us find a unique, beautiful invitation that fit within our budget. They were extremely kind every step of the way and even helped check our addresses to be sure they were correct. I'd highly recommend Nota Bene for your wedding and post-wedding stationary.
What beautiful invitations and thank you cards the girls at this store did for us! Everything turned out perfectly with them! Highly recommend!
As a designer, I had specific ideas in mind for items from save the dates to pocket schedules for the wedding party. Nota Bena offered the high quality products I was looking for and the flexibility for me to design my own save the date for them to print! The entire staff is fun to work with and remembers me each time I come in to the store. I highly recommend Nota Bena for all your wedding stationery/fine paper needs!
Nota Bene is a fabulous little niche card and papier shop nestled in the heart of Aspinwall. The owners are a delight to work with and provide you unparalled service. They are honest, fun and detail oriented. The options they have are endless and they work very closely with you to ensure that you leave happy and with exactly what you've been dreaming of!
I had quite the pleasure of working with them very closely for many monthes and if I could get married all over again I wouldn't do it any differently or even consider going anywhere else! I'm a client for as long as this shop shall exist and look forward to printing many other announcements with them in the future. This shop is the best in the burgh!
Nota Bene is wonderful! Everything from the customer service to the invitation selection is high quality. They have a huge selection of beautiful invitations to choose from and they are easy and fun to work with. Evvy helped me and my mom pick out my invitations and they were amazing. She also helped us match them with the ceremony programs, menu cards and thank you notes. I work in the wedding industry and i must say Nota Bene is one of the best paper boutiques in the area. If you are considering them, don't think twice. You will be thrilled with the results!
Nota Bene provided excellent services for invitations for my rehearsal dinner, Sunday brunch, wedding and reception and then a second reception at a different location. They were very easy to work with and made the process very smooth. Thank you!
Our invitations were beautiful and they were very accommodating with our limited budget. Very prompt service and they were easy to work with.
I worked with Amy for my invitations, escort cards and programs. I was on a limited budget with my invitations, so Amy helped me find ones that I liked within my price range. She set up my programs for $50 and after a lot of tweaking we finally got it right. I also gave her a spreadsheet and she printed my escort cards for pretty cheap. All in all it was 100 percent worth outsourcing all these items. NOTE: I originally was going to use Wedding Paper Divas, but after ordering samples, their paper quality is really low and their prices are high. Not worth it.
