Working with Rachel on our wedding stationary was an absolute dream! For me, the stationary was a highlight in the wedding planning process. The save the date/wedding suite is the first taste that your guests experience of your wedding and it was extremely important to me that the vibes/aesthetic were right. From start to finish, Rachel and I were totally in sync. We collaborated so well and she brought our brainstorming sessions to life better than I could have imagined. She has amazing taste that fit perfectly with mine and was incredibly patient with all the back and forth edits/notes. I trusted Rachel every step of the way and knew she would deliver something beautiful, and she did just that (and more!). The day of stationary was truly the cherry on top with all of the decor. It added such a beautiful touch that tied everything together perfectly. I am so grateful for her creativity and the care she put into every piece. Can’t wait to work with her again on something in the future!
Working with Rachel was one of the highlights of our wedding planning process. The paper products were very important to me and we wanted something truly custom. Rachel took the time to get to know us and really understand what we were hoping to achieve with each piece. Her ideas are always spot on and with her guidance the process was fun instead of overwhelming. Each piece came out better than I could have hoped and we received so many messages from guests who just loved what they received in the mail. Rachel is so creative and just an absolute pleasure to work with. I cannot recommend her or her work enough!
Working with Rachel was such a pleasure! My wife and I went to her not knowing what we wanted and she created a theme that was better than anything we could have dreamed of! Not only did she create our invitations, she also created our place cards, table numbers and graphics that appeared on screens around the venue. Rachel's work is incredible and we HIGHLY recommend her!
I couldn't have been happier with all the beautiful pieces Rachel created for my wedding! She did our save the dates, invitations with a trifold details card, custom envelope that included a map of our wedding destination (Newport) and all our day of pieces (programs, menus, name plates, details card for our welcome bags)! Everyone loved each and every piece Rachel created! My sister-in-law used her for her wedding and I am so happy she told me about Rachel! I will definitely be recommending her to all my friends!!
Great designer. Rachel is thoughtful and meticulous. Could not have asked for a better experience in designing our save the dates!
THE BEST. Rachel was my favorite person to work with of everyone involved in the wedding. She has impeccable taste, is extremely diligent and timely, and held my accountable to deadlines in a much needed but also good natured way. Cannot recommend her more highly.
Working with Robinson Press was a wonderful experience. Rachel's creativity, professional experience, and overall expertise made our invitation process smooth, fun, creative, and collaborative. We were SO happy with our invitation suite, and I truly got so many compliments on how amazing they looked. Rachel was straightforward with us in each step of the process and beautifully translated our vision into a physical reality. I can't recommend her highly enough.
Working with Rachel on our invitation sweet was one of the best parts of planning our wedding. Rachel is so wonderful and collaborative, and she takes such pride in what she does. Her attention to detail is unmatched. My mother, mother-in-law, and I all looked forward to our design calls with Rachel and we truly could not be happier with the final product. We received more compliments on our invitation suite than we ever could have imagined. Rachel came highly recommended by our cousin, and we feel so lucky that we got to work with her. Book her! You absolutely won't regret it.
Working with Robinson Press was a total dream. From our first meeting (via Facetime as we are based in NYC), we immediately felt inspired by Rachel's work. She has an incredible creative range and vision, and worked with us to adapt our personal style and wedding vision to an invitation suite. Rachel was patient through the process, through our many detailed questions and revisions and always came with ideas better than what we could have every imagined. Rachel recommended several calligraphers, and the one that she suggested for our suite was really outstanding both in terms of service and talent. Rachel made it really easy to work with the calligrapher as well, sending him envelopes directly and early to ease the process for us. We received our invitations last week, and were blown away by the quality and craftsmanship that went into each piece. From the letterpress to the details within each piece, the edge painting, the color, and overall look - our invitations are truly pieces we will treasure forever. The first word everyone has said was "elegant", which is exactly the tone we want to set leading up to our September Cape Cod Wedding. Thank you Rachel for inspiring us creatively, and for making our invitation dreams come true!
Working with Robinson Press was such a delightful experience. We had no idea what we wanted for our invitations, other than that we wanted them to be letterpressed and unique. From our first meeting with Rachel, she helped us to turn all of our ideas and wishes into some of the most beautiful designs. Not to mention she handled all of my indecisiveness expertly and gave great advice as to how to create a beautiful suite of wedding invitations. Our final product was stunning and we received many compliments to the design. We will certainly be using Robinson Press in the future for other stationary needs!
Rachel makes me want to get married again so I can work with her again. Her designs are so beautiful and classy. I got so many compliments on our invitations. She also helped me with my day of pieces- programs, menus place cards etc. She is so talented and super easy and great to work with. She made the design process easy and smooth. Thank you so much Rachel!
Rachel was so great and easy to work with, her designs were personalized and unique and our final invitation suite could not have been more "us". Even our guests were blown away by the detail.
Design our wedding stationery was one of my favourite aspects of the wedding. I had a vague outlook of what I wanted and from there, Rachel developed it. I knew straight away from seeing her portfolio online that she was a magician and that if she would could do our wedding stationery, it would be magical. I was right- I was delighted each time we various rounds of the selection came through and how spot-on she was. The quality was phenomenal. It was not only us that thought so- the compliments have been endless! Being based in the UK hasn't been as issue either, if anything it has been a benefit to get a US idea on weddings. The artistic skills, patience and creativity are boundless. I would not hesitate but to recommend Robinson Press for any occasion, especially a wedding. From the save the dates, to the wedding invitations, to the on the day stationery and the thank you cards- everything was perfect, beautiful and beyond what we expected. Thank you xxxx
Rachel developed such a beautiful suite of stationary + more for our wedding. We collaborated to create custom materials from scratch, from a save the date to an invitation to day-of-materials like ceremony programs, place cards and even a fun madlibs activity — and more! Rachel was responsive, reliable and creative. She made the process a true partnership.
Rachel is AMAZING. Seriously, you need to hire her right now! She worked with me to figure out what my vision was and really nailed it when she brought it to life. I have recommended her to two friends who both hired Rachel and loved her as well (I think it is also worth mentioning that all 3 of our designs were very different - Rachel is able to tailor the invitations to each individual person/couple). She is so sweet, caring, really smart and talented. I think it is worth mentioning that Rachel is extremely responsive as well. Creating the invitations was by far one of my favorite parts of planning the wedding!
As a wedding planner we are always excited to meet and collaborate with talented people. I reached out to Rachel, owner of Robinson Press, to ask if she would sponsor invitations for an event I was planning. Without hesitation, she said yes! Rachel completely understood the vision and created the most beautiful invitation and capturing the essence of the company we were celebrating. I would highly recommend Robinson Press, and look forward to working with her again. ~Elegant Aura
Rachel Robinson: talented paper extraordinaire.
Rachel from Robinson Press was BY FAR my favorite vendor to work with. She is so amazing and creative, her work speaks volumes. Invitations were important to me because they are the first glimpse of your wedding that people see. We had NO idea what we wanted but sat down with Rachel and talked a little bit about us, our wedding venue and some of our favorite things and she just went with it. What came out of it were little pieces of art that I am OBSESSED with. Rose gold pressed perfection. Rachel was a JOY to work with and my husband and I always commented after chatting/meeting with her that she felt like a friend. We also used Rachel for all of our wedding day extras (programs, escort cards, welcome bag notes, table numbers, signage, etc.) and it all came out so awesome and personalized. I am not very creative so it was great how I could tell her in a confusing way what I thought I wanted and how she just brought it to life. Her prices are reasonable and SO worth it! If invitations are important to you, you MUST work with Rachel!
Rachel was absolutely incredible. So talented, creative and accomodating. I loved my invitations.
Rachel was a pleasure to work with! I did a lot of research (obsessed with letterpress) and could not have found someone better to work with. Highly, highly recommend! If we need any more custom "life" stationary, we will surely be back!
There are not enough words to describe how incredible Rachel from Robinson Press is. She has the ability to execute your vision onto paper flawlessly, while guiding you with her own recommendations and expertise. Every single proof or draft I received felt like Christmas morning. They just got better and better! My guests received my invitations last week and the positive feedback was overwhelming. From the design, to the details (ribbon, colors, etc), to the paper itself, Rachel nailed it! Working with her was by far my favorite part of the wedding planning process. I would recommend her to every bride, so long as they desire invitations that are unique, fun, beautiful, and elegant all wrapped up into one!!!
Working with Rachel was such a great experience!! She was friendly and helpful! Her creativity was evident from our first meeting and she was able to use this to integrate our ideas and a number of unique elements. We were in awe of both our save the dates and invitations and loved all the stationary we ordered!! Rachel is so talented and her work is amazing.
I had such a wonderful experience with the Robinson Press! Rachel was an absolute pleasure to work with from the very first email I sent her. She is creative, thorough and communicative, and worked with me to give me the perfect design while staying within my budget. All my guests raved about the beautiful final product of our invitations and all our day of goodies (signs, napkins, matches, menus, etc) and I absolutely adore what she put together for us. I highly recommend the Robinson Press. Thank you Rachel!
Robinson Press is everything a bride could want when it comes to wedding paper goods. Rachel has an eye for detail. Her talent and quality is the best around. She designed a beautiful map for our wedding invitations that gave them the special touch I wanted, it was so unique. When I asked her last minute to design the menu, programs and welcome sign she didn't bat an eye. She is so accommodating and timely. I will most certainly be using Robinson Press for all my paper good needs!
Working with Rachel was the best part of wedding planning. Rachel is so warm, funny, and gifted that she made the whole process enjoyable and easy. The first time my now husband and I met with Rachel to discuss the invitations for our August 2015 wedding, it felt like we were talking with an old friend over coffee. We went to her with a million different ideas and she helped us sort through different concepts and decide on a design that was right for us. She makes herself available to you and you feel like her only customer. On several occasions, we spoke over the phone at length about different options for the invitations, which was incredibly helpful for me in figuring out what we could do. She’s a genius in getting your vision just right, but is also honest if something about the design isn’t working. She also respects your budget and helps to think creatively how you can accomplish what you want within your own financial parameters. To top it all off, she’s extremely professional and always sticks to her deadlines. All of this concluded with me staying under our budget and having invitations that looked AMAZING. I am so happy with how they turned out. After our invitations were done, I went back to her last minute to design some signage for our wedding; she happily accommodated and was able to turn around something quickly for a very reasonable price. Do yourself a favor and look no further. Work with Rachel!
Working with Robinson Press for my September 2015 wedding was a dream from beginning to end. I am a very hands on (read: controlling) bride, so when I first contacted Rachel a year in advance of my wedding asking about paper goods, I didn't expect such a quick response. Not only did she mail me samples of her work, but over the next 12 months, she spent hours on the phone with me going through each iteration of design. I came to Rachel with a specific (yet extremely vague) idea of what I wanted my paper goods to look like, and what techniques I was most interested in. She was able to use my ramblings, and my budget, to create a beautiful, customized wedding suite that went above and beyond my expectations. I loved being so involved in the aesthetic process while being able to take a step back and give Rachel control of the project.
Rachel is calm, reassuring, and above all, warm hearted, which both my mother and I truly appreciated during the whirlwind chaos of wedding planning. The week of my wedding, there was a delivery mixup of the day-of materials. Worry not! Rachel quickly remedied the problem, putting in extra hours on her end to make sure everything was perfect and ready on time. I cannot rave enough about what a pleasure it was working with Rachel and her team!
Working with Rachel and Robinson Press was the most fun part of my wedding planning...Rachel is every bit professional, organized, creative and was just a blast to work with. She understood my style and ideas, and took our invitation suite to a whole new level. She presented a diverse range of designs with a different approach and inspiration behind each option. Rachel really spent time researching our destination wedding city and communicated different characteristics of the city into our invitations which was pretty awesome. I threw a lot of random ideas and other artwork at her throughout our design process and I couldn't imagine anyone else executing our final design as well as she did. I had the best experience with Robinson Press and have already gone back for place cards, thank you notes, maps, etc.
They are the best!
Rachel is awesome! She helped us create a unique design that really fit our style and worked with us when we aren't particularly artistic. She created a unique design (custom tree) with a coordinated package (wood grained paper)!
She was super helpful and worked with us through the process. Highly recommend!!
If you are looking for unique, affordable, letterpress invitations and thank you cards look no further! Rachel (owner) patiently guided me throughout the process of identifying the right look and feel for my destination wedding in Barbados. I really had no idea what I wanted, and Rachel was able to take my thoughts and turn them into a truly unique invitation suite. She presented many options and color schemes and even did research on local flowers to add a special touch to the invites. She was very communicative and really over delivered throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Robinson Press!!
Robinson Press designed our wedding invitations and they were absolutely stunning! The process was a lot of fun and very creative. Thank you!
Rachel worked with me on my save the dates, wedding invitations, menus, and ceremony programs, all of which blew me (and my guests) away. Not only is Rachel creative, passionate and kind, but also super responsive and timely -- important things not to overlook! She was very open to my ideas all while providing creative feedback. Receiving my very own wedding invitation in the mail was absolutely one of my favorite moments. Thank you, Rachel - you're a rockstar!
Rachel is beyond talented!
I had no idea where to go for wedding invitations. I knew I wanted something unique, simple yet elegant at the same time. My fiancé and I met with Rachel just once and she immediately picked up on the direction we wanted to take and the feel of our wedding. On top of wedding planning we were also in the process of a major move so things were stressful but Rachel was patient and helpful with our budget in mind throughout the process. I am in love with the monogram logo she created and I am so happy with the invitations as a whole. I can't stop looking at them! We will also be using Robinson Press for our name cards etc. You will not regret choosing Robinson Press!
I stumbled upon Robinson Press while searching the internet for "one of a kind" wedding invitations and I'm SO glad I did!! Rachel was amazing to work with- she made our invitations, rehearsal dinner invites, thank you cards, and all sorts of goodies for our "welcome" boxes. Rachel is incredibly creative and really helped to make our vision for our wedding come to life! Just about everyone commented on our invitations.- "unique," "whimsical," "thoughtful"...people thought they were just spectacular, but most importantly we absolutely LOVED all of Rachel's creations. She captured the whole vibe of our event and really set the tone for our big day. Rachel is so easy and fun to work with and she was definitely one of the highlights of our wedding planning! Rachel is the BEST...don't miss out!!
Don't go to some store with a bunch of albums and pay through the nose for invitations that 10,000 people have had before, make it your own!!! I used Robinson Press to design and letterpress my save the dates, wedding invitations, thank you cards, wedding programs, place cards, and menu cards. I basically kept trying to think of more things to make on paper, because the process of working with Rachel was so darned fun, and the results were really beautiful and one of a kind. This girl is talented. She was amazing at understanding my vision for the entire event, and then making the most perfect designs. It was hard to choose our favorites from what she presented to us. My fiancee, who said he didn't care about how the invitations looked, was suddenly e-mailing color swatches and font references from work - it was a really fun a and creative project that actually brought the two of us together even more. DON'T MISS AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH ROBINSON PRESS!!!
Robinson Press did our save the dates, our invitations and our paper goods for the day of the wedding (menus/thank yous/escort cards/ceremony books/table numbers), and thank you notes.
Everything was absolutely stunning, she listened to us and produced our vision flawlessly. Everything was within budget and done in a timely fashion!
Sometimes its hard to find someone who can really understand your vision and at the same time does it with such quality.
I would HIGHLY recommend using Robinson Press/Rachel.
I am not your common bride. The details terrify and alarm me. Rachel took my indecisiveness and turned it into a gorgeous invitation that reflected my relationship and personality. Not knowing what I wanted, she guided me in a direction that felt smart, stylish, and personal with the right questions and the perfect amount of input. Beyond that, her sense of color and design is impeccable-had you described the color and layout I would have doubted-instead, I got more compliments than I ever expected: the coolest, most me, most beautiful, most fun....When they arrived, they were tied with a bow, nestled in gorgeous paper. I felt like I was opening a present, and they were better in person than I could have hoped. I didn't want to deal with the details of an invite, and Rachel made it fun, personal, memorable, and above all, beautiful. Trust this woman. She knows what she's doing. Thank you, Rachel.
I had a great experience working with Rachel. She totally got my vision, and was great to work with. In the end, I was beyond happy with the outcome of my invitations. You should definitely reach out to her!
Rachel is an incredibly talented and passionate artist. She is really gifted and a pleasure to work with. Whenever we had an idea for our invitations, she would always come to us with several ideas and possibilities. She was also extremely flexible and ended up making labels for our pots of honey (our gifts to our guests) and wishing tree tags. Her prices were also extremely reasonable (about 1/3 of big box stores) and she was extremely reliable. I loved working with her and we have kept in touch ever since! She is a passionate business owner and has a bright future ahead of her.
Working hand in hand with Rachel to create our wedding invitation was not only fun but it was also seamless! She was great to collaborate with and really got our vision straight away. I highly recommended using Robinson Press for your wedding invites and any other paper goods you may need (she also designed us thank you cards!) If you are looking to make something unique, personal and absolutely stunning- Robinson Press is your gal!
Rachel is fantastic in so many ways!
We came to Rachel after working for several months with another letter press designer who was unable to translate our relatively vague vision into something inspiring. So, we arrived at our first meeting with Rachel frustrated and in a bit of a time crunch. She immediately set us at ease and shared her portfolio of beautiful designs. She set and kept us to a timeline, but helped us create beautiful and whimsical invitations for our Botanical Gardens wedding.
We were so pleased with Rachel's invitation designs that we asked her to help us transfer some of her designs to a seating chart, ceremony program, napkins, and cups for a brunch. The best compliment I received on the invitations was "they're so you!"
Beyond her artistic talent, Rachel is simply a pleasure to work with - a consummate professional and lovely person.
Rachel is incredible to work with in every single way. She immediately understood what direction I wanted to go in, but created an invitation beyond what I ever hoped for. She even hand drew part of it. We weren't able to meet in person as I live on the other side of the country, but she is very easy to get in touch with via phone and email, and sent me examples of her work and paper sample options in the mail so I was very comfortable with the quality they would be. The design she came up with and the final product were gorgeous. The invites just went in the mail last week and I can't tell you how many texts/phone calls and email's I've gotten from people exclaiming how "unique", "gorgeous" and "creative" my invites are. I never thought my invites would be one of the highlights of the planning process, but Rachel made it so much fun and really helped me to set the tone and vision of my entire wedding. She is also very reasonable for the quality of work she does.
I'm sort of obsessed with paper, and it was important to me that my wedding invitations were absolutely gorgeous. The problem with that was that I did not want boring or traditional or even the typical "fancy" work--I wanted letterpress, craft, color, and whimsy! In that regard, Rachel was absolutely wonderful to work with. From our first meeting to go over my vision, she was personable and easygoing. She totally understand what I was aiming for and seemed just as excited as I was about my ideas. She designed so many wonderful designs for our save the date that it was hard to choose, but we ultimately went with a hand drawn gingham pattern and hand lettering. It was absolutely gorgeous! When it came to invitation design, she made a gorgeous mountain design invitation that complimented our save the date perfectly without being too matchy. She even found us neon orange ink to work with. Basically, Rachel rocks. She is great at what she does, incredibly responsive to feedback, and also very intuitive--there were many times where she was able to put into design something that I had been unable to articulate clearly in a conversation, but was hoping for nonetheless. Her work is flawless...and better yet, she is funny, warm, and charming. If you like beautiful paper as much as I do, you should probably call Robinson Press right now.
Rachel is such a pleasure to work with. My fiance and I are not creative at all. We had a few random ideas of what we wanted for the invites. We had no clue where to go from there. The first time we met with Rachel she took our ideas and turned them into a dream. She understood exactly what we wanted and was able to create an invitation beyond my imagination. I also loved how timely she was with getting us drafts and the finished product. Working with her was a breeze. I will definitely use her services again for place cards and thank you cards.
