What a find! I can't say enough good things about Joanna & philoSophie's. My mom found them at the last minute to do our shower invitations, and we were so happy with and charmed by those that we went back for all the other paper stuff. Joanna ended up doing our thank you cards, programs, table signs, placecards, guest book, welcome sign, table diagram, and a bunch else. Her custom work really made the wedding ours. Great to work with, and her stuff is so cute!
Joanna was wonderful to work with and her talent is amazing. She designed the welcome sign, guest book, placecards, table signs, programs, and bridal shower invitations. Had we found her sooner we would have used her for the wedding invitations. Her work truly made the wedding personal and unique. Forever grateful for exceeding our expectations.
Joanna the owner of philoSophies is fantastic. Her personalized art work depicts each person perfectly. She is very creative. We had her do our invitations, programs and thank you cards to tuck into the napkins at the reception. Not only all that, but she did a Seating Chart poster in place of the individual place cards. We will have that as one of our keepsakes from the Wedding. I will be using her for my Thank you cards to send out as well. She is also very accommodating. She will make appointments after her normal business hours. She has tons of Knick knacks at her shop for sale also. Mugs and ornaments that can be personalized, note paper, canvas bags, jewelry boxes, jewelry plates, tons of cards for every occasion. She’s the best! We highly recommend her!
Joanna did a a phenomenal job capturing my future husband and I based on the artwork and information we sent. Her version of my dress on her artwork was amazing, and we can't wait to have our guests sign our alternative guest book from philoSophie's! She was responsive to emails and great to work with!
We are so thankful to Philosophie and Joanna for creating such unique and personal custom designs for our wedding events. I am so so so happy my mom and I found Joanna and her beautiful, creative artwork! She is so fun and a delight to work with. My mom, my fiancé and I are so excited for the bridal shower invitations, guest poster, stickers, thank you notes and bridal party gifts! We will probably be thinking of ideas and ordering more soon! Thanks again Joanna for all your hard work and passion for Sophie! I can't wait to incorporate all of these personal touches into our special day.
Joanna has been wonderful to work with. We had her make our save the dates and plan on using her for other personalized additions for our wedding.
Joanna is a dream to work with and her work is absolutely amazing. She helped me with a last minute order and everything was perfect, down to the tiniest detail! I 100% recommend that everyone check out philoSophie's and see for your self how amazing her work is!
Absolutely love PhiloSophies! An awesome little shop right in our village with unique and personalized gifts! We needed last minute gifts and I immediately thought of PhiloSophies. Joanna of course came through, saving the day with beautiful personalized tumblers and thank you cards. I can't thank her enough especially with such short notice for the gifts. I would highly recommend PhiloSophies; unique gifts and Joanna is wonderful to work with. Thank you again Joanna!
Joanna is amazing!
She was so wonderful to work with. She took our ideas and gave our invitations and placecards the personal touch we wanted. Our guests loved them. We received so many compliments. Joanna was so easy to work with. She's so friendly, responsive and creative. I'd recommend her to anyone!
I had the opportunity to work with Joanna, owner of philoSophies as she created my daughter's shower and wedding invitations. Her designs were beautifully unique with an incredible attention to detail. Joanna went out of her way to make sure they were personalized and completed on time. They were beautiful and I couldn't imagine the process going any smoother. Very talented!!
I am so happy I stumpled upon PhiloSophie's for my wedding! Joanna was such a pleasure to work with! I cannot say enough great things about her work for my wedding! She worked with me on creating and printing my invitations; ceremony cards; personalized signs for my reception, table name cards for my reception, personalized tags for my champagne favors and flip flops for my guests. Everything turned out beautifully! She really understood the vision I wanted for my ceremony and reception! She listened to what I wanted on every little detail and was there every step of the way to make sure everything came out perfect! She is such a creative, hardworking, and talented individual and her turn around time was very quick! I will definitely be reaching out to Joanna in the future! I highly recommend her for your wedding or special event! Thank you so much again!!
We highly recommend philoSophie’s for any wedding items or any other stationery needs. We are from the Boston area and were able to order save the dates, wedding invitations, and a guest book canvas for our wedding. Working with Joanna made the process easy and exciting. She had wonderful ideas and incorporated our ideas as well. She did custom artwork for each of our items and the results were fantastic, and the price was very reasonable. We wanted something different and unique and customized for only us, only for our wedding. And Joanna delivered!!! She provided high quality work and exceptional customer service.
We will definitely use philoSophie’s again for any future stationery needs. Thanks again!!!
What can I say, except that Joanna was fantastic to work with. She did our save-the-dates and wedding invitations (both custom), and they came out beautifully. She is friendly and professional, and very reasonably priced. My friend recommended her to me, and I'm so happy she did!
Joanna made making our Save-the-Dates so special and fun. She is so talented and an absolute treat to work with. We heard nothing but amazing feedback from our guests who loved the personalization and little details like the hand-applied glitter on each card! Joanna even made sure to sneak our dog into the image. So cute!!! You can tell that Joanna loves what she does. She adds a personal touch that made our experience unforgettable. We highly recommend philoSophies for any of your invitation needs.
I can't say enough good things about philoShophie's!!! Joanna is absolutely wonderful, she listens to what you want and your ideas and always delivers a beautiful job. She has made both of my daughters wedding shower invites,thank you's and also personalized gifts! Joanna is now working on baby shower invites for our soon to be first grandchild and once again an absolutely great job. If you are looking for unique and personalized stationary, invites or special gifts philoSophies is the place to go. You won't be disappointed!!
Joanna is absolutely wonderful to work with! She has great ideas to help envision what you want, creates it quickly, and is responsive throughout the entire process! I've been so happy with everything that I purchased in the past several months with her, and already have thought up of future personalized items I would love to have her create!
Can't recommend her enough!
What can I say about the absolute angel that is Joanna and her unbelievable work? Let me first note that there weren't many things I was as particular about in my wedding planning as finding a beautiful invitation and I could not be happier with the results.
Joanna is beyond talented and extremely accommodating. Looking back on our exchanges, she produced DOZENS of beautiful and one-of-a-kind concepts for me. I was the annoying bride that thought she wanted one look but then changed her mind or wanted to be sure about it and needed to see one (two or three) other ways of designing it. No request was too silly or tiresome for Joanna. She graciously and quickly tweaked and entertained EVERY idea. And when she thought that it wasn't in my best interest to go in a certain direction she would professionally advise. We exchanged hundreds of emails throughout the process and despite being an out-of-town bride, it was never an issue getting in touch with her or setting up meetings when I visited. She turned what could be a very daunting and inconvenient process into something seamless and really a joy to be a part of.
My guests and I were blown away by how elegant and beautiful the invitations were. We were so impressed that we continued to partner with Joanna for my bridal shower invitations and favors, ceremony programs, reception signage and name cards, and now our thank yous. Joanna is speedy, reasonably priced, experienced, talented and an absolute pleasure to work with. You won't find anyone like her.
If you are searching for a special stationary portfolio that you and your guests will remember for a lifetime and a partner who is dedicated and committed to her clients, then look no further. I cannot say enough good things about Joanna and I look forward to working with her for years to come.
I loved my invitations! So easy to work with and saved us a ton of time!
My daughter and I had a wonderful experience working with Joanna at Philosophie's. She designed my daughter's bridal shower and wedding invitations and she spent hours with us until we were happy with finished product. She is a very personable young lady which made our experience very pleasant! We received so many compliments on the invitations and we were so happy with her work that we decided to have her design the programs for the ceremony which turned out amazing! And, she also did my daughter's place cards and table numbers. It's obvious Joanna loves what she does and she is so good at it. I highly recommend Philosophie's, stop in for a visit, you won't be disappointed!!
Joanna is amazing!!!! She is extraordinarily talented and so easy to work with! Joanna listens carefully and thoughtfully to the bride, and gives 100% to bringing the bride's vision to life! She is also so kind and has such a calm demeanor, that it made the whole process very enjoyable!!! She reassured us along the way, and gave great advice when we had any questions!
Joanna took care of all our wedding stationary needs from the unique and very personalized save the dates, to the lovely original art rendering of the ceremony site that graced the spectacular invitations, to the beautiful place cards, table numbers, and memory/gift table cards and the "guest book"! Joanna's designs set the tone for the wedding that my daughter and future son in law wanted! Her attention to detail is amazing!
Joanna is so professional! I knew the second I turned anything over to Joanna, it would be done perfectly, beautifully and quickly! We have gotten so many compliments on the fun and personalized save the dates, and the elegant and beautiful invitations! And my daughter and her new husband were thrilled with everything Joanna created for them because it all perfectly reflected who they are as a couple!
All our guests raved about the drawing of the bride and groom that we had guests sign in place of a guest book! It is gorgeous and will look amazing framed!
Working with Joanna has been a true joy and pleasure! I have definitely found my source for any future stationary needs!!!! I would give Joanna and PhiloSophie's more stars if I could!!!! She is wonderful and her work is impeccable!!!!
We are so happy that we chose to work with philoSophie's for all of our wedding stationary needs! Joanna was WONDERFUL to work with. She is creative, passionate, and truly works magic with her stationary! All of our guests were blown away by the beautiful, uniquely "us" save the dates, invitations and the awesome customized drawing for guests to sign! We look forward to working with Joanna again in the future!
Joanna did better than I could have imagined! Kept us calm and was on top of everything! We had no worries with her help. She did the shower invitations, the wedding invitations, table numbers, and programs! She was so great to work with and made our lives so much easier! Would highly recommend PhiloSophies!
Joanna is amazing! She is so great to work with and is very accommodating. She makes sure everything is exactly how you like it and can make anything happen!! Her work is unlike any other. I would recommend philoSophie's to everyone for any and every occasion!
Joanna is simply a delight to work with! She was my favorite vendor to work with while planning our wedding. Her attention to detail is fantastic; she’s incredibly organized, and super talented. All of the artwork she designed for our wedding is throughout our house so we can be reminded of our wedding day. Her work is second to none, and you’ll have one of a kind artwork that will last forever. We had her to our seating assignment poster, invitations, and a return address stamp. She’s able to incorporate anything you want, and she will give all of the artwork her own special spin to really make it unique. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and her shop is adorable. Everything is reasonably priced considering she does everything by hand and with no staff to help her. If there could be anyone I would recommend to other couples to work with, work with Joanna! Your invitations are one of the most important pieces of your wedding and trust me when I tell you, you’re in great hands!
Joanna created the most beautiful invitations for my future sister-in-law's bridal shower and bachelorette party! She worked with me to create designs that were just perfect for the occasion, and her added touch to draw the bride in my sister-in-law's likeness made them extra special. I could not be happier with the way the invitations turned out!
I absolutely loved my experience with philoSophies! Joanna is extremely talented and accommodating. She worked to meet our every need. Everyone who received our invitations absolutely loved them! I highly recommend philoSophies !
My invitations came out even more beautiful and perfect than I could have imagined! Joanna is such a great person and so easy to work with. She listened to my ideas, offered her own suggestions and designed the most gorgeous invitations for my wedding. The moment my guests received the invites in the mail, they called, texted and messaged me to tell me how beautiful and elegant they were! I will be having Joanna design matching place cards as well. Also worth noting, is that philoSophie's has such cute gifts for the entire bridal party.
I have never in my life received more pictures and thank you's except when I give philoSophie's as gifts. For years Joanna has been doing amazing work. Whether it is an engagement, bridal, new house or just personal stationary, she is one of most talented people I have ever met in my life. You cannot go wrong with a gift created by philoSophie! xoxo. I would give 100000 stars if i could.
Amazing. Talented. Compassionate. 3 things that come to mind when I think of Joanna and her wonderful business, PhiloSophie's. I came to her for some cards for my bridesmaids and have since had her make a guest book picture, donation picture, mugs, plates, and more for my upcoming June 2016 wedding. Joanna takes your vision and brings it to life. Her artwork is amazing!!! I will be using her for all my special events to come. Thank you so much, Joanna. You're the best!!!!!
I would give more stars if I could . The detail, work and thought Joanna put into my wedding invitations was better than I could have imagined . When I mentioned that I have a grandson ( I am a older bride ) she incorporated him into our invitations. They are truly unique and one of a kind. I can't wait for everyone to see them.
Thanks Joanna for everything you did to help take the stress away from this bride☺

I first received a gift from PhiloSophie's from a friend for my engagement. I decided to use PhiloSophie's for my friend's wedding. As one of her bridesmaids, I chose the illustration (Me and My Girls) and also ordered a picture of the newly engaged couple. The time, and attention to detail by the artist was unbelievable. She was organized and in frequent communication until I received the final product. I couldn't be happier with the end results. I look forward to giving this personalized, unique gift to my friend on her wedding day. I would highly recommend PhiloSophie's to anyone who is interested in buying a one of a kind, unique gift!
We had so many compliments on the elegance of our save the dates, invitations, rehearsal cards, favor tags, programs and even gifts for the bridal party. The vision was there and it was everything I dreamed of
We got our wedding invitations, candy buffet sign, table cards, place cards, and some cute personalized plates made for the flower girl and ring bearer all through Philoshophies. Everything came out AMAZING and we were super happy with our decision to work with Joanna. She will go above and beyond to give you the special personalized touch most brides are looking to get while planning their wedding. You will not be able to get the type of creativity and service Joanna offers anywhere else. Work with her... you will not be dissapointed!
Loved working with Joanna at Philosophies. She helped not only with invitations, but with coaster party favors, programs, table cards and stickers and bridesmaid wine bottle labels. The custom art she created of the wedding party was so cute! She went out of her way to help us out.
I wanted custom made wine labels to ask my bridesmaids to be in my wedding. Joanna was so easy to work with, and my labels came out exactly as I had envisioned. Joanna was quick with the work, and even sent me back up labels in case I messed up putting them on. What a life saver because I totally messed up the first few labels!! Quality and affordable work, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of custom paper goods!
I worked with philoSophie's on invitations, napkins, flex-frost cups, thank you notes and a one-of-a-kind guest registry for my wedding.
The invitations were elegant and unique to my style. Joanna created a design for my husband and I that will be with us for many years to come. We caried this design through to napkins and plastic cups for our reception.
Joanna also created custom artwork that we were able to have guests sign as a rememberance of our special day. The artwork carried through to the Thank You notes which are a unique rememberance for our guests.
Joanna made the entire experience effortless for me. She delivered on all of her timelines. Her ideas were creative and unique. and she kept me sane through the process.
I am already planning our Christmas cards with philoSophie's!
I absolutely LOVED working with Joanna at philoSophies! She did an amazing job with our wedding invitations, my bridal shower invitations, ceremony programs, place cards, and wine tumblers for my bridesmaids! It was truly an amazing experience working with Joanna; she provided her full attention to us and our design, happily making at least a dozen (more like a few dozen!) modifications until we felt it was just right. Turn around for design changes and questions were quickly answered, and we were kept on a timeline to ensure everything would be finished the exact way we wanted in plenty of time. She really listens to your ideas and finds a way to make it look perfect: For the wine tumblers for my girls, I was looking for something different- we all did a 5K race together- Joanna was able to incorporate that event with a bridal theme,and the girls love them! They thought it was so cute and original! I really cant thank her enough for making that part of the planning go so smooth, and look forward to working with philoSophie's for future events!
I wanted a unique gift for my bridesmaids to give them to ask them to join me on my special day and PhiloSophie's helped me find the perfect gift. Joanna was a pleasure to work with! I had a great time meeting with her to look through her gifts and go over what I wanted. She made great suggestions based on when and how I would be giving my bridesmaids their gift. They loved the coffee travel mugs and the cards she created. I will absolutely be returning to use Joanna for other items for my wedding!
I cannot emphasize enough how much people have LOVED the invites. So many have reached out to me saying they are the most creative thing invitation wise they’ve ever seen. They have easily been the highlight of our preparation and I owe it all to Joanna. I, like several other people that have worked with Joanna, ended up having her do my thank you notes, the gifts for the people in my wedding and had her create a frame for guests to sign as a keepsake memory for us. The artwork is a true talent. Working with Joanna is a gift in itself. I am happy to now call her my friend.
I have been buying custom Christmas cards from philoSophie's as a single lady for several years. Every holiday season I looked forward to designing the perfect Sophie for the year with Joanna. So when I got engaged it is no surprised that the first vendor I contacted (nearly 1 year ahead of time) was philoSophie's to design a custom map for the welcome bags of my destination wedding. I really put Joanna through the wringer - let me tell you. Many, many drafts later, many more discarded illustrations, and one total reprint (with expedited shipping) later, I have the perfect product. its so unique to our personalities, and guests who have known me for awhile will certainly recognize Sophie from my single-girl-Christmas cards. Through this whole process Joanna has become a friend. She is so kind and has unmatched patience for frantic brides. I cannot recommend Joanna (and Sophie) enough for your special day.
Joanna was so wonderful to work with every step of the way! She is so talented and really blew me away with her designs. Very stress free process, and she just ran with it! She is open to any ideas you might have and will make any changes or edits along the way. So easy to see she loves what she does and it shows. Such a unique part of our wedding and can't wait for the next time I can use her cards!
This little shop is not far from where I grew up and I am a big fan of supporting local artists/businesses. Joanna, the owner and designer, is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is attentive and quick to respond via email, phone or she can even set up an appointment in person if you prefer. She also offers a wide range of products for one-stop shopping: invites, place cards, table numbers, a seating arrangement poster, thank you notes, etc. You choose your design once and you can create a nice sense of cohesion between all of your stationery.
Regarding the invites we ordered, the end result was cute but it wasn't quite the "one of a kind" design I was expecting after reading the website. I wrote the text myself, which was then fitted into a template, and even the personalized image of us was exactly the same as the one seen on the website with slightly different hair colors. Considering how much we were spending for custom invitations, this was a little bit of a let down.
In the end, however, they turned out nicely and the ease of working with Joanna can not be understated. If you want a cute and simple stationery for your wedding (or bridal shower or bachelorette party) this is the place to go! She also does customization of other stuff like wine glasses, picture frames and other keepsakes, which is really nice if you're looking for little gifts for your bridesmaids or parents.
I am super independent and great with technology, so I had my mind made up that I would do all of my wedding stationary online. I spent an embarrassing number of hours trying to make a cookie cutter design from one of those websites into "our style". So frustrating.
My bridesmaids had Joanna design my bridal shower stationary and the day I saw my shower invitation, my mind was made up: I had to work with this creative genius!
Joanna was so fun and easy to work with. She was contentious of our budget, and she even made suggestions on how we could save money! She knows her stuff when it comes to logistics and deciding which stationary to use in which way.
She was prompt and friendly in email correspondence, receptive when we asked about possible changes in our design, and always appreciative of our business!
I couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Joanna, and I think we will be back again for all of our future special events!
Joanna did such an amazing job! She did shower invitations and my wedding invitations. My wedding invitations came out perfect. I couldn't imagine anything better than what Joanna customized for me!
Joanna is truly a pleasure to work with. Not only is she extremely talented and creative but she is also a very genuine and caring person and she's awesome to be around! Initially, we went to meet with her to do our wedding invitations and because we loved her so much, we had her do everything, including the bridal shower invitations, thank you notes, candy bar favors, wedding invitations, thank you notes, wedding favors, programs, seating charts, table numbers...and the list goes on! She's the best around...I got so many compliments on everything that she did for us and it provided for a consistent theme! Her prices are fair, given how talented and responsive she is. Joanna's products and personalized art were a big part of our perfect day and we're so grateful that we found her!
I have been ordering gifts and cards from philoSophie's for years! This time it was for my sister's Bridal Shower. I wanted something personal and not just off the registry. I sent in a few photos of my sister and her fiance. Joanna created two beautiful designs based off of the photos and their love of Disney and tea. The characters looked just like my sister and her fiance. I chose to have one design created into personalized mugs and the other one for a cutting board. My sister was so excited about these gifts. The mugs and cutting board were high quality. And the turn around time and customer service was perfect. Joanna is so easy to work with. If you want something unique for the bride and groom, check out all the options at philoSophie's!
Joanna is wonderful. Her designs are creative, customized, and beautiful. She helps make your wedding experience exciting and stress free. She listens to your ideas and then uses her artistic style to design perfectly customized work.
She has made the wedding process flawless. We picked up our invitations last week and they are beautiful. The quality and customization is amazing. She is also helping us design our stationary, save the dates, thank you cards, table numbers, and place cards. All are absolutely stunning and reflect my style and vision for my wedding. She is the sweetest vendor we have worked with and ensures every detail is perfect.
I would recommend Joanna's work to everyone I know. I cannot wait to use her for our thank you notes and other events in the future. I am very happy we chose to use her customized look.
Wonderful company..so caring and thoughtful. Called me to make sure I liked the product and to see if I wanted to change anything before shipped off. They did my bridesmaid wine labels and all the ladies loved them! Will use this company for as many different wedding things as they can do :)
Joanna at PhiloSophie's made all of my shower invitations, shower thank you's, rehearsal invitations and wedding thank you's. If I had known about her before I ordered my wedding invitations, I certainly would have used her for those! Her craftsmanship and care in designing all of the cards was impeccable. All the details that she was able to capture from the lace dress and brown boots I wore for engagement pictures, to my husband's boutonniere and my bouquet from the wedding were amazing. She always had proofs to me in a timely manner as well! I would very highly recommend using PhiloSophies for any of your wedding stationary needs!
Philosophies was the perfect touch to our special day! Joanna was so easy to work with, flexible and efficient. Her attention to detail was amazing and added the personal touch we were looking for. We could not have been happier with the finished products.
I looked forever for the perfect way to ask my maid of honor and bridesmaids to be in my wedding, but nothing seemed quite right. Finally I stumbled onto philoSophies.com and found the perfect idea with wine bottle labels!! Each label was so unique as they were customized to look like each of the wedding party. I sent her a picture of each attendant and she nailed all of them down to every detail such as their hair color and highlights. They turned out better than I could ever imagine. I was so impressed, I went back for them to customize our wedding programs. They matched every detail from the bride and groom, to the bouquet, the maid of honor, the bridesmaids dress styles and colors, the best mans clothes, flower girl tutu dresses, and even went a step further to add our bloodhound Cletus to the program. They were absolutely flawless! Joanne helped me with every detail down to the perfect wording and adding the wedding colors. The cost was extremely reasonable. When I got them in the mail I was so thrilled! I am still getting compliments on them. They were absolutely gorgeous!
I would definitely recommend them for all your wedding and party needs.
Thanks,
Jenny Durr Young
My daughter and I have had a wonderful, fun experience with Joanna at PhiloSophies! She created her wedding invitations, program and she created the gift I gave to my daughter for her shower. She is an amazingly talented young lady, full of great ideas and her pricing is very reasonable!
Always smiling and giggling and so much fun to work with. We just love her artwork. She is very creative, and she does it so quickly and easily!
She also worked on my nieces graduation gift as well, and was so cleaver with her ideas and art work. She captured all the memorable events of her senior year in her artwork.
Working with Joanna has been absolutely delightful!

Joanna and Philosophie's has made this whole process of getting married so much smoother than I know it could have been!! We have gotten all of our stationary needs for the wedding (invitations, programs, table numbers, favors, bridesmaid gifts). Each time I went back to the shop I saw something different that was an amazing idea!! It is truly a one stop shop! One thing I have encountered through my experience as a bride is the nerve wracking waiting for people to get back to you....this is NEVER a problem with Joanna! She always makes you feel at ease by answering any and all questions you have whenever you have them. Also, she is willing to work with you on whatever timeline you have, and very accommodating when it comes to short timelines to get things done. I would recommend Philosophie's to any bride with stationary needs, no matter how big or small!!!!
My family and I have been going to philoSophie's for all of our invitation, stationary and gift needs for over 6 years now. Joanna, the owner, is such a pleasure to work with, and we have grown very close to her over the years.
philoSophie's created all of the invitations and custom art work for my sister's wedding- from the save the date to the thank you cards for the bridal shower. All I have heard at all of the events surrounding her wedding is how amazing the work philoSophie's did was.
Joanna works to create the perfect custom work for her clients. You have total control over how you want your products to look, and Joanna delivers each and every time. You get beautiful, custom creations without breaking the bank, and the customer service is unmatched.
Why go through a generic website that everyone uses, when you can get something that was made just for you from philoSophie's? I highly recommend working with philoSophie's for your wedding, or any special event in your life. It is the unique touch philoSophie's provides that makes these events even more special.
Pilopsophies made me the most amazing and personal bridesmaid gifts and wedding cards! Everyone who has received one has raved about them and actually kept them! We framed the card as did many members of our families. PhiloSophies was a dream to work with and Joanna Alberti is truly a genus. I have now used this company for everything from birthday presents and cards to thank you's and stationary. Her original artwork makes any gift that much more special! Her greeting cards and her line featuring "sophie" brings a smile to everyone. PhiloSophies is inventive and will absolutely make your day! If you want your day to stand out and have the most unique personal touch, this is it! I will be using this company for every occasion I can!
Very pleased. Joanna did our save the date magnets, invitations, wedding program and table and dinner choice cards for the cake pops.
Everything was very professional. We received many compliments on the wedding invitations.
I highly recommend Philosophies.
PS. She does more than invitations, everything in her store is sooo cute! 😊
We used philoSophies for save the dates, invitations, programs, and place cards! I could not be happier with the results! I love that the design is unique to our wedding, and everything turned out perfect & beautiful! Joanna is so much fun to work with & she ensures that everything is perfect and fits your ideas! I look forward to doing more with you in the future!
Beautiful work! Joanna is very easy to get in touch with and she will work with you on all your ideas to create a truly custom and unique, high-quality product. I ordered both my save-the-dates and wedding invitations through PhiloSophie's and couldn't be happier!
I have been a fan of this place for a while. My soon to be mother in law is from Spencerport, NY and introduced me to her. When we were looking for unique save the dates there was no question about who we should go to. Joanna is so much fun to work with and the final product is amazing. We have received so many compliments on our save the dates. I highly recommend using them!
Joanna the owner and artist at PhiloSophie’s is a delight to work with. She is absolutely amazing and her creativity was to infinity and beyond; she knew exactly how to make what I wanted a reality. She did my wedding invitations as well as my shower invitations. Both are beautiful and I can’t stop getting compliments on them from everyone. If you are looking for something unique to stand out from all the other invitations out there I would highly recommend going with PhiloSophie’s you won’t be disappointed. I will be using her for future events for sure.
We absolutely loved working with Joanna to create our wedding invitations. The first day I met her she was so accommodating and warm. Her great personality combined with her incredible talent and work put into our original artwork made her a joy to work with. She even put the stamps on our invitations so all we had to do was send them off! We highly recommend her if you want one-of-a-kind wedding artwork and a great person to work with! We will be back for more wedding-related items!
Originally I was apprehensive to try a specialty stationer figuring I'd never be able to afford it. But Joanna was so reasonably priced and the cost came out less than an internet site for impeccable quality. Joanna completely took our vision and ran with, made so many revisions, and met with us many many times. Everyone has commented how beautiful, unique and how "us" our products have been so far. I would recommend her to anyone, near or far. She made me so at ease during the process, and made everything so fun, so perfect I was actually excited about invites and paper products!! I will use her again for future projects without a doubt.
We discovered philosophies just walking by the store. We are planning a smaller wedding, trying to keep costs low, but loved her work so much we decided to splurge on the custom invites. Joanna's attention to detail is amazing. She really is an artist. She treats you like you are her only customer even though she is super busy. Overall very pleased with the experience. The only thing is the color on the envelope seals didnt turn out as impressive as her invites.
For anyone looking for wedding invitations, or any other stationary needs-philosophies is the place to go!! Joanna sits with you to create a custom look that fits your needs. She is so accommodating and awesome to work with. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her and her work. She made this process so stress free! She has great ideas and the quality of her work is also amazing- I just sent my invitations out and have already received so many compliments!
Definitely recommend! :)
PhiloSophie's far exceeded our expectations and Joanna worked with us to create awesome custom invitations. They are exactly what we wanted and we are beyond happy with them. She was also really great to work with :) I'd recommend them to anyone. Thanks so much!
Joanna, at philoSophie, was absolutely wonderful to work with. Her creative ideas based on what my daughter wanted were absolutely wonderful. Joanna's work, caricatcuring my daughter's wedding party and highlighting the venue, added so much to making her wedding special and unique. Joanna is so easy to work with, able to listen to understand a client's wishes. She is punctual, returning phone calls and emails right away and providing design ideas quickly. I'm doing a bridal shower now for a relative and I'm using Joanna again with invitations and accessories. Great quality, great service and to top it off, Joanna is a really nice person!
The philoSophie's brand and it's creator Joanna are absolutely amazing! Joanna has now become one of my favorite local artists, she is beyond talented and an absolute delight to work with. Everything Joanna creates is a one of a kind personalized item that is just perfect in every way. Joanna is hard working and detail orientated and that proof is in her work. My husband and I will continue to work with the philoSophie's brand and Joanna for all our future needs of invitations, announcements and unique gift ideas. Thank you philoSophie's and Joanna :)
Joanna's work is beautiful! I have used her products for Bridal, Baby shower invitations and for other unique gifts.
She is a pleasure to work with and truly cares about her work!
I was googling for something completely adorable and unique for my bridesmaids and low and behold I found Philosophies. I had Joanna design my Why I want You to be My MOH/ Bridesmaids cards. After a couple back and forths chatting on the phone and emailing me she had me send pictures of me and my girls so she can personalize my cards to perfection. I could not have been happier with their results. I asked for a couple changes which she sent within the hour and thus shipped and delivered beautifully packaged all the way to San Diego in a couple days. These cards will be something my girlfriends and I will treasure forever. I will be back for more Philosophie!
For our 11/23 wedding after being so thrilled with my Will you be My Bridesmaid personalized cards I knew I would be reaching out to Joanna again. Instead of having a huge portrait from our engagement shoot displayed I knew I wanted to do something different and more creative. After sending Joanna the link to our wedding website, my dress, Michael's suit and various pictures from our spanish themed wedding venue Joanna sent several different versions of portraits to choose from. Once again She nailed it! We played around with my groom's hair, the colors and decorations and everything was just so spot on. I couldn't have been more happy with Philosophie's and her works of art. I've already passed on her information to my wedding coordinator and several of my girlfriends who are also engaged. We will meet again Joanna!
I ordered my wedding invitations, rehearsal invitations, personalized labels for wine bottles and candles and they were all coordinated.. Joanna was a pleasure to work with. The product was so beautiful. She puts so much time and attention to the fine details. The price is very reasonable, they are extremely timely in responding to your questions and inquires and every product was delivered on time with no issues. I would love to work with her again for other events... and I highly recommend PhiloSophies to anyone looking for fun, unique and personal invitations or other stationery.
PhiloSophies's products are not only high quality but so creative. Joanna takes the time to really understand what you are looking for and to customize everything and truly make it your own. I received many compliments on everything I have purchased from philoSophie's and always recommend her to any one looking for items that are unique and outside of the box!
I started out my wedding planning process thinking that I would consider using philoSophies for my invitations. Little did I know all that the had to offer! Joanna is the owner, and is fabulous to work with. She is creative and provided a customized product for a very affordable price. And, I even ended up ordering pretty much everything from her because the invitations were GORGEOUS, and could be coordinated with other parts of the big day, including place cards, thank you notes, favor tags, shower invitations, and everything in between. Unlike a lot of online wedding stationary websites, the sky is the limit with options. I've referred at least 6 or 7 other brides to her, all of whom have had completely different orders than mine and have been beyond satisfied. You not only leave with exactly what you want for your big day, but a partner who helps you problem solve and supports you through the process.
Besides the awesome products, the staff is incredibly supportive, fun and easy to work with. Whether sorting out details via email or in person, the staff are efficient and timely. philoSophies was the glue that made all of the visual components of our wedding work together.
Our philoSophie's custom wedding invitations were perfect! philoSophie's understood our vision and materialized our dream invites. Working with philoSophie's was was easy and we always received timely and personal responses to our questions and requests. We now have one of our beautiful invitations framed in our home. Our philoSophie's invites were not just invites, they are pieces of timeless artwork that will always remind us of our special day. Thanks philoSophie's!
I first met Joanna when she illustrated custome bachlorette party invites for me. They were for a friends party and after weeks of looking for the perfect invite I stumbled upon her website and was blown away by the creativity! I contacted Joanna and told her I needed the invites by the end of the week due to my inability to find ones I loved and she had them ready with no problem! She even made sure they were all glittered perfectly!!
So, when I got married it was no surprise that I wanted Joanna again to create some illustrations for my wedding day.
Joanna was a complete pleasure to work with. She designed and illustrated my bridal party for both cards and t-shirts. Which were used as part of my bridesmaids gifts. The entire experience was wonderful. She went above and beyond to make sure that the illustrations were up to my liking and kept things reasonably priced.
I would highly recommend her and look forward to using her talents again in the future.
I decided that I was going to create "Would you be my Bridesmaid" cards for my wedding party. Each Bridesmaid was designed to look like each girl and had their name on them. My wedding party loved them! When I received my package in the mail, not only did it come on time and with amazing customized cards, I was also surprised with a cute pen and a great "Things to do before I say "I Do"" notepad that I am currently using everyday!
I would highly recommend philoSophies to any Bride who is looking for unique and personal way to ask her bridesmaids to help her tie the knot!
Joanna,the creative brain of philoSophies, is truly a delight to work with! I could not have been more pleased with the one of kind attention she gave us in making all our wedding stationary unique and special. From the save the dates to the wedding invitations, programs, place cards, etc. I was extremely happy with how everything turned out. In addition I received a large number of compliments on our wedding stationary from family and friends. You will not go wrong when choosing philoSophies!
Joanna was more than accommodating with us! On time, quick to respond every question I had. She even included our 3 dogs in the artwork. I also wanted my Save the Dates to have a magnetic backing for the guests. I regret not asking her for the invitations as well.
Now, almost 2 years later we are going back to philoSophies for our baby announcements!!
I've been a fan of Philosophies products for years (i even have the checks!!) and always knew that I wanted Sophie to be a part of my wedding event. I came to Joanna with a vision for my save the dates and she absolutely blew me away with her creative artistry. She really works with you to incorporate your personalizations into the Sophie style and never disappoints with her abilities to capture exactly what you are looking for. I keep coming back having also used Joanna for my Shower Thank You's and my sister's Baby Shower invites, favors and thank you's. We can't get enough of our philoSophie's products. If you are looking for a unique touch for your special event where you can not only enjoy Sophie's chic and sassy style but also come away with an originally customized product, then look no further.
I have been a philoSophie's fan since I first saw the orignial greeting cards. When it came time to plan my wedding, I knew that I wanted to work with Joanna to create everthing from my Save the Dates to Shower Invitations to the actual wedding invitation. From our first meeting to discuss themes/ideas, Joanna was able to take all of my ideas and put them into one cohesive and gorgeous package. From save the dates that included a personalized drawing of my fiance and I in our venue to one of a kind wedding invites, fabulous shower inviations and coordinating place cards, menus and thank you cards, I was thrilled with everything Joanna did for us. Joanna's attention to detail, creativity and outstanding customer service sets her apart from many of the "big box" invitation/paper goods stores. We received countless compliments on all of our wedding stationary/paper products. I highly recommend Joanna at philoSophie's for all of your wedding needs as well as all of your stationary needs as her talents are endless. You will not be disappointed!
Joanna was great to work with. I used her for everything I could think of for my wedding. Cards to ask my best friends to be my bridesmaids, our save the dates, table numbers, name cards, Invitations, and thank you cards.
Joanna really listened to the style and theme of our wedding and put her creative touch on it all. She met with my Husband and I several times to make sure everything she was doing was exactly what we wanted. She really put her heart into everything she did for us. And we truly appreciated that. In the stressful planning of a wedding I knew I didn't have to stress or worry about anything Joanna was working on.
We recieved so many compliments on our Invitations! Here is a direct quote from a family friend "I have been invited to a lot of weddings and this honestly is the best looking invitation I have ever seen " It really makes you feel good knowing all your guests love what you chose for your special day.
Even a year after our wedding I have found many ways to work with Joanna and I will continue in the future as well. I highly recommend her. You will not be disappointed at all.
I worked with Joanna from philoSophie's for all of my paper needs for my wedding. From my bridal shower invites to my wedding invitations and my thank yous, Joanna captured exactly what I wanted on paper. She was so easy to work with. I didn't have a very decisive idea on what I wanted for my invitations so I gave Joanna a couple ideas and she created a masterpiece. She really is so good with listening to people and adding in her creative twist to make it exactly what you want.
Another thing I really liked about working with Joanna was that I was supporting a small business and I was getting personal service rather than ordering invitations from a major company that mass produces them. Joanna always made me feel like an important customer to her and I appreciate that.
I strongly recommend philoSophie's to anyone who is planning a wedding. You will NOT be disappointed with the quality of the product or the service you receive.
Joanna is such a pleasure to work with. She helped me take my vision and bring it to life. I have gotten nothing by compliments on my invitations!
She pays such close attention to every little detail which helped make my wedding a success. From the invitations to programs to table numbers, my theme was displayed elegantly throughout my entire wedding day!
I will definitely recommend Joanna and will continue to use her in the future!!
Joanna at philoSophie's is amazingly creative and so easy to work with! She was somaccomodating when I made last minute changes and able to make some unique pieces for me without batting an eye and each piece was done with remarkable speed and quality! Love her and will use her for future card/invite needs :)
My wedding was on September 8 in upstate NY. Joanna is amazing! I told her that I had a lovebirds theme, and she designed my wedding programs, table numbers and return address labels (for thank you cards).Joanna is very friendly, easy to work with, and creates amazing CUSTOM art for your wedding day!
In addition to the lovebirds items, she drew custom art for a photo binder for my mom, art for lunchboxes for my flower girls, and bridesmaid cards. (Not to mention the pre-made items I bought, like bachelorette thank you cards and a card for my groom!)
Joanna was a lifesaver- not only is her work beautiful, but she is very timely. I asked her to design wedding programs a few days before the wedding, and they were gorgeous.
I would definitely recommend Joanna's work to anyone, everyone loved the things she created, and the prices are very affordable. If you don't want custom art, she has a variety of premade designs and items available as well.
I was so thrilled with my wedding invitations from philoSophies! Joanna @ philoSophies brought my vision to life with the perfect custom design. She is super creative, talented and made the process so easy by providing me with such beautiful design options (although it was hard to choose!). We had so many compliments on the invitations and thank you cards, especially the custom bridal party cards! Joanna was a pleasure to work with and she exceeded all my expectations. I will definitely look to philoSophies for all my future stationery needs -I can't wait for my next custom design!
