About This Vendor

Custom Wedding Invitations + Paper + Accessories

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S on your engagement and welcome to Simply Michelle Wedding Invitations + Paper! I am so happy you are here to check out my designs and I would love to help you! I received my design degree from Otis College of Art & Design in 2000 and have been in the design business for 20+ years designing for top companies including Hallmark Cards, Inc. and Target Corporation. I specialize in Custom Invitation Suites, Save the Dates, Day of Wedding Stationery ( Menus, Place cards, signage, etc...). Many clients ask me what my pricing is but it is difficult for me to quote you until I know what your vision is, the quantity needed and what your budget is. My goal is to help you get a beautiful invitation that works in your budget. To help with the pricing question I do have a website where you can find design options and pricing at www.simplymichelle.carlsoncraft.com. You will find designs that meet many different budgets and you will see the pricing under each design. You can purchase a sample directly from my website as well. I am here to help if you have any questions on the website. If you are interested in a Custom Design I can give you a quote as well after we have a conversation about what you are needing. Since I am a people person I love to meet with you in person or via Skype initially so I can get to know you and your soon to be spouse and start the design process. The options are endless and making your vision come to life in a beautiful way is my ultimate goal! Nothing is better than seeing my clients elated when they see their finished project.

Michelle has designed several invitations for me from a Yacht Party to the Masters. I asked her to design the Masters invite for my husband and to please make it like one of her stunning wedding invitations. It was stellar! Over the top beautif...

When Michelle creates a custom invitation for your special event, you will treasure it forever. She puts an incredible amount of time and thought into every precious detail of its making. Our wedding invitation was so reflective of my husband ...

and me, which made us feel so happy! The design was more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. One of our dear friends framed the invitation and gave to us as a wedding gift. Every time we look at it hanging in our home, we go back in time to our wedding day and smile! Michelle is the best at her craft, and is an even better person...a true ray of sunshine.

Thank you so much Jane! Working with you and Kevin was such a great experience that I will always treasure!

Michelle talked down to me as if she had the right to be rude to a prospective customer. I asked the simple question of how much the invitations would be after proving her a detailed description of what I was looking for and she refused to giv...

e me a quote and kept directing me to go look at the generic cards online after it was made clear that the card I was looking for wasn’t a generic one. She repeatedly told me I was wasting her time after she was the one who requested the call, despite her unwillingness to provide me any pricing information. After all that, she hung up on me. She made the exciting prospect of getting my wedding invitations a highly unpleasant experience that I wouldn’t wish upon any bride.

Response from the Vendor on 02/01/2020

I am sorry we could not find a solution for your needs, Nadine. Knowing customized invitations may not be in everyone’s budget, I stand by my quality preset designs for brides who face various budget constraints. Having said that, I also am...

confident in the value of my customized invitations as well as the value of my time. I also refuse to be disrespected, screamed at and insulted by someone who is a complete stranger that I kindly spent 30 minutes on the phone with trying to help! Now excuse me while I continue to help my countless HAPPY brides ... and you can take your bullying elsewhere!
