I had pinned years ago on Pinterest originated from (the Polaroid Save the Dates). Not only were our save the dates perfect, but the entire communication experience with Britt's team was seamless and enjoyable. As you can see from all the other raving 5-star reviews, Swell Press is an incredible company. Don't let one bad apple (bad review) keep you from hiring them. When all other reviews are 5-stars, odds are, Swell Press wasn't the problem. 100% recommend this company!

eam. I have worked with Britt and her team for 3 years now - including three save the dates, two full invitation suites, and one Christmas card. Working with Swell Press could not be a more wonderful experience from start to finish - Britt is unbelievably creative, responsive, and timely. She takes immense pride in her work and the quality of everything she has ever created for me has exceeded my expectations. She goes above and beyond to take care of her clients and create an amazing experience from start to finish. I couldn’t imagine a better experience than working with Britt and Swell Press - it was the highlight of our entire wedding planning journey.

ng our dream ombré neon save the dates, invitation suite with perfect neon edge painting, and designing and printing all of our weekend of materials, no details was missed.
Her Instagram page is also what letter press dreams are made of.
I am so grateful for everything Swell Press did to make our wedding perfect and miss being able to see Britt when I picked up my materials so anxiously awaiting her retail shop to open to pay her a visit again!

of design we wanted and they took care of the rest, giving us a number of options to choose from (we loved them all)! The whole experience was super easy and our save the dates are well worth the money. Our guests are already telling us how much they love them.
The team is very professional and you can tell they have a lot of experience while also making sure each client feels heard and supported.
I recommend using Swell Press 100%!
I don’t even know where to start. Working will Swell Press was an absolute dream from start to finish. Britt and her team somehow have this magic ability to create unique, trendy yet timeless designs that had my guests beyond excited for our we...
dding. Britt went above and beyond throughout the entire save the date and invite process. Oh, and did I mention the day of goods were unmatched (and produced on a TIGHT timeline). Britt and her team are flexible, professional and fun - what more could you ask for?! Working with Swell Press was an absolute highlight of the wedding planning process, I’m actually sad it’s over. I wish we could do it all over again and create more magic. 10/10 would hire Swell Press again!
Britt is quite literally the most innovative, creative and intuitive designer. After a consultation, she delivered the most thoughtful and beautiful design options and we have never felt more heard or understood as clients. During the process, ...
she went above and beyond to make sure it was absolutely perfect. I truly have no idea how she comes up with the ideas she does, she is a brilliant mind and we feel so lucky to work with her. I can't recommend her enough.
I used Swell Press for my wedding invitations, and I can say without any hesitation, USE THEM! Not only was I blown away with my semi-custom invitations, but I have gotten so many compliments from my wedding guests about them. They worked with ...
me and my very distinct tastes and created an absolute masterpiece! The quality is incredible, and they are honestly less expensive than I would have guessed for such a time consuming product! Nothing but fantastic things to say about Swell Press!
I have used Britt for a few projects now, for multiple invitations, stationery, and letterpress needs, and there is a reason everyone goes to her! Britt and her team are the best in the business. Her eye is incredible, she creates ACTUAL magic ...
from my very basic ideas, and is incredibly transparent when it comes to what is possible and how the overall vision will come to life. I recommend her to every single client who needs invitations and other wedding day paper goods. Swell press is the best investment you'll make to set the tone for your wedding or special event!
We used Swell Press for our save the dates and our invites. For our save the dates, they were relatively easy to work with, though they had contracted out the work to another letterpresser. She was great, though, and understood our vision and w...
as able to deliver a semi-custom design relatively quickly. Our invites were a disaster. First, we shared a vision and that vision was taken super literally (bright colors, pinks, greens, match the save the dates) and the proofs were literally embarrassing to look at, to the point that I was shocked that anyone who had more than 1 month of experience in this space would share a proof that looked like that. When we understood that they needed literal instructions (make this, this shape; make this, this color) - which, by the way, we were paying thousands of dollars to essentially do the same thing we could have done on Minted - we finally got to a place that I was semi-happy with though maybe I was still delusional paying $2K+ for 100 invites. Despite using the exact same colors as our save the dates, when our invites came, they were NOT metallic colors though anyone with a brain would have asked "do you mean metallic" when you say "gold and silver" colors. I don't know if they've taken on too many projects this year but I am so disappointed in the work they've done and can't recommend enough to STAY. AWAY. from SwellPress. Save the heartache and find another letterpress company who will actually review their work...or just go with Minted, for the love of god. This was the most disappointing experience we had during the planning of our wedding, hands down.
I truly had the best experience with the Swell Press Team and love my wedding invitations SO much! Britt and Caroline were quick to respond, kind, helpful and willing to work within limitations of me being an International client. I had a very ...
specific vision in mind and Swell Press definitely executed. I highly recommend Swell Press to all brides and really anyone who wants letterpress work. The Team went above and beyond and I will cherish their work forever.
Caroline and Britt went above and beyond for our invitations. They came out so perfectly. We unfortunately weren't able to use them because our wedding was postponed due to COVID .. they were so supportive during the whole process and helped de...
sign a digital invite instead. So wonderful to work with. Made the process so smooth and fun! Could not recommend Swell Press more!
OHMYGOSH I can not recommend Brit and her staff enough. She brought our invitation dreams to life! We had a smaller budget than probably most of her clients but she was still able to work with us to provide us a stunning final product. We had s...

Where to even begin! Britt and her team are so incredibly talented, their work is truly one of a kind. A million thanks for making my vision come to life not only for our save the dates, but entire wedding suite as well. You are a brilliant des...
igner! Not only was Britt a breeze to work with, Caroline was also so kind and helpful throughout the MANY emails over the last few months. I will recommend you and your team to everyone
I know. THANK YOU!
The best decision I made throughout my wedding planning process was choosing Swell Press for all of my paper goods. The moment I got engaged I knew I wanted Swell to design my invitations, as I had been in awe of their gorgeous designs for a lo...
ng time. Turns out, there's truly no better company to work with, thanks to the fabulous women of Swell who make it all possible. I worked with Swell's owner, Britt, and her team (Caroline and Kate) for more than a year to brainstorm, design, revise, and execute save the dates, a wedding suite, day-of menus and favor tags. Each element was absolutely stunning and the final products far exceeded my wildest expectations. Looking back, no matter how stressful or frustrating wedding planning proved to be, Britt and her team were always available and optimistic. Britt's patience and creativity were reliably endless, and she not only redefines professionalism, but sets the bar for what small businesses should strive to achieve. If you're looking for truly special, custom invitation, I cannot recommend Swell Press and her wonderful team highly enough.
Britt and her team were absolutely amazing. She worked with me and my mom to create a custom design that went through multiple iterations. The final product is exactly what I wanted! She and Caroline were always quick to respond with a positive...
and professional attitude. Britt also found me an amazing calligrapher when my original person fell through last minute. I would recommend Britt and her team to anyone and hope to work with them again soon.
Britt is extremely talented and made my dream wedding invitations!! She is so creative and provided such great input and a variety of options, layouts and designs. I had a very specific vision, and she worked very closely with me to design our ...
wedding invitations and inserts, rehearsal dinner invitations, welcome party invitations, programs, welcome tote bags and welcome bag notes. She is a true artist and her work is of the highest caliber. We were in a bit of a rush, but as a writer and artist, I really wanted our paper items to reflect our personalities and the themes of the wedding weekend. Britt got that right of the bat and helped me fine-tune our ideas into a cohesive suite. She went above and beyond by reaching out to an artist whose work I had highlighted on my Pinterest inspiration board. Britt was able to get the artist to grant us rights to use her work for our envelope liners on our invitations. Britt’s letterpress talents are impressive, and we loved how she incorporated a spectrum of ombre colors to match our theme. My personal favorite was her idea to blind-emboss constellations in the background of our invitations. She worked closely with me to make sure the designs matched the copy I wrote, and she was extremely responsive. Our theme was “Stars Align & Hearts Combine” and I can wholeheartedly say that our invitations reflect our cosmic vision. Our invitations are to be framed and will hang on our wall as they are truly a work of art. Having matching tote bags for all of our guests was such a unique touch and really special. I am so grateful to Britt for all of her hard work; she made our dreams a reality!!
