The Inviting Pear

us bring our vintage national parks post card idea come to life! She had fantastic suggestions and humored us on our ideas (some looked great and we kept, some ideas looked horrible haha). Beyond professional, timely and honestly, a joy to chat with :) Would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for something unique for their wedding!

finitely recommend working with Arielle and the team at The Inviting Pear, you will not be disappointed!

came out!

fs of everything until we agreed on the perfect combination. She made the process so easy and sent reminders for printing deadlines. She also coordinated with my wedding planner for pick up. We highly recommend "The Inviting Pear" for that special touch for your wedding.

nd her additional expertise on the best ways to mail/organize the invitation suite were so helpful as well. Thank you!

tions, they have been the most proactive and thorough vendors to work with. I was so nervous also about designing and coordinating the suite all virtually; but this wasn't even a speedbump for them. They made me feel completely at ease and were highly transparent and communicative about every single step in the process. Would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone in the Austin area and beyond!

am on them for all of our guests. Arielle’s artistic talents are seriously so impressive, she’s meticulous with every detail down to the correct color shade.

g came together. Would absolutely recommend this team!

everything had to go on hold. The Inviting Pear was understanding and flexible with us. When we finally came up with a new plan we had a quick turnaround and had to make things happen quickly! New verbiage for the invitation, menus, placards, cocktail, napkins, etc.... they got everything done flawless! Great to work with!

Arielle is an amazing artist and sketched our wedding venue perfectly! We also had her create a watercolor of the venue for our home, which I highly recommend.

ding updates, and then created everything we needed to make our changed, downsized event as special as a big event. They listened to our ideas and made everything better and prettier than we could have imagined. During an angst-filled season, they were gracious and helpful and wonderful. We especially love the custom hand sanitizer labels they made - featuring the bride and groom’s dog. We appreciate The Inviting Pear!

She sent samples of envelope colors, ink selections, paper types, etc. until we agreed on the perfect combination. All of our guests commented about our beautiful, stunning invitations with their gold foil lettering, velum belly band, and gold monogram wax seal. Then we had to navigate through a COVID-19 wedding postponement, and again Shannon excelled in designing a perfect "Save the New Date/Time" invitation in a very timely fashion! She also sent reminders for printing deadlines and assisted with the design off our wedding programs, menus, and welcome notes. We highly recommend "The Inviting Pear" for that special, unique look for your wedding stationery!

d understanding to all of my crazy requests. My invitations came out beautiful and I am so happy with their services. They have great attention to detail and a sharp eye for what looks good. I would choose The Inviting Pear over and over again!

clever things for the day of printing. And she made every printing deadline even when I didn't get everything to her on time.

s for the wedding! From the custom watercolor of our venue to Koozies with our dogs painted on them, The Inviting Pear did it all. Additionally they always quoted me on each service and confirmed before they started which I always appreciated. Our guests LOVED our invitation suite. Arielle had even met with me in person at first (in 2019!) and showed me specific examples of what they've done in the past to help me figure out what would be best for our wedding. I had complete trust in them to do all of our signage for our wedding too, in addition to our invitations. They made it so fun and not once stressful. Can't recommend enough!

Pear made all of that happen. I didn't have a chance to work with them in person, since I was out of state for all of the planning, but everything was easy to discuss through email. I was provided with multiple options and ways to customize our invitations, etc, and everything turned out beautiful!

h The Inviting Pear. <3 Something To Celebrate

ts, and in-person comments about how beautiful our invitations turned out. It has been fun, stress-free, and easy to work with Arielle and The Inviting Pear! Our invitations are something we will keep forever.

g my daughter's otherwise hectic wedding planning process. She just takes care of things. Her product is absolutely first class and she'll work within whatever budget you have set. She really can do just about anything you need to help make your wedding "presentation" a thing of beauty. You want to have The Inviting Pear on your wedding prep team!!

iscuss budget and ideas over the phone within just a few day. Her response with ideas, pricing, and designs were incredibly rapid and looked amazing! From invitations, to bar menus, koozies, and Thank You cards, I'm so happy that working with someone that truly put your ideas and dreams on paper. Thank you for creating such beautiful work for our wedding and we cannot wait to work together again!

were driving and couldn’t get back to email and was also extremely organized! Great skills, great personality, and beautiful product! Thanks team!!

his team is! Arielle understood my vision completely and still dealt with numerous emails back and forth until the final product was PERFECT! I couldn't be happier with our beautiful invitations which included a custom watercolor of the location we'll be married. It's something I'll frame and treasure forever and I HIGHLY recommend this amazing team!

absolutely amazing. Arielle and Shannon were a DREAM to work with. My other half and I are getting married under a full moon and wanted a 'dark and moody' lunar calendar as the save the date. Arielle brought this to life BEAUTIFULLY. For the invitations, we went very simple... but stunning, black on black, dark green paper with foil gold text, cream paper with black text and a gold foil moon at the top to tie everything together. I live in Austin and went to meet Arielle one day to talk through every last detail and I left the meeting wishing we could have hung out all day. I seriously can not rate this team higher. I will absolutely be using them again in the future.

taff were very responsive, timely and professional. They can even ship your items if you live out of state! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone looking for a signature cocktail sign, bar menu, or other fun items for your wedding!

beautiful Save the Date, Invitation Suite, Cocktail Napkins, Stir Sticks, Menus, Programs, etc. They helped create signage and they even created some beautiful menus and name place cards for our rehearsal brunch. Arielle was a pleasure to work with and she put in so many hours working with us to understand what we were looking for and ultimately made our vision come true. They were willing to work with our florist to create a beautiful monogram which adorned the majority of our stationary pieces. The gold foil elements and unique shapes that we included in our stationary really made it stand out and become exactly what we were looking for. We are so grateful that we worked with them and that we spent the extra time and money to create custom and unique stationary with Inviting Pear. We highly recommend them for any of your stationary needs.

so much for taking our idea and creating something so great!

These invitations went all over the country and the response was tremendous. Shannon was very easy to work with and the results are beyond excellent. Quick and easy communication was very important for us during the planning process and Shannon was a dream.

and quick! I can't recommend Inviting Pear enough!

assisted in the final assembly of the invitations and getting them in the mail. She worked well with our calligrapher too and our wedding planner and we love good teamwork! All final printing was delivered to our wedding planner in a nice time for the wedding. You will be pleased if you go with the Inviting Pear for your wedding!!

ions based on what we were envisioning and it helped a lot. They also have a great pintrest as well, which is where we found the idea for our menu. Arielle and Shannon were so flexible working with us and with our budget. When we had questions or revisions, they were amazing at responding and making updates to our contract(s). They are both super personable and great to work with. I am beyond happy with our final products, thanks so much for being a big part of our day!

nd more!] that matched our wedding vision perfectly! We had no edits! ... We can't wait to show all of Shannon's work at our wedding in a few short weeks!

and attention to detail and I highly recommend her work. You can't go wrong working with Inviting Pear!

d make decisions on the paper type, envelopes, font style, font color, etc. I decided to order menus as well. She nailed them and had them to me super fast! Would definitely recommend!

The designs were completed quickly and she was always willing to make corrections/changes if needed. Arielle helped us set the tone for our wedding and we got SO many compliments on the invitations, as well as the cool acrylic seating assignment chart!

tter than I'd pictured and were absolutely stunning. They were so beautiful that I framed one and hung it up in our house :) In addition, the team was easy to work with and turned everything around quickly and thoroughly. HIGHLY recommend this vendor.

Inviting Pear!!!

led with the finished product and would highly recommend Inviting Pear to any bride!

be working. I lived out of town and had very limited vacation days available to me, so I had to work around my own holiday schedule. She kindly met with us and showed us examples of their work and I was blown away! I booked them immediately. I didn't even need to meet with anyone else. In the months to follow, Arielle not only created beautifully classic invitations, save the dates and programs, but also created a custom monogram for us that we could not be happier with! You have to have a special kind of person to work with me on stationery, as I am extremely picky and know what I like and don't like. :) Arielle was patient and attentive to all of my comments and requests and I never felt that I was bugging her with random thoughts and revisions. But my favorite part of working with The Inviting Pear were the amazing acrylic seating chart, table numbers and bar menus that they created for our reception. They happily worked with my florist and lighting company in coordinating how to hang and showcase this stunners. I am still receiving compliments on them weeks later! A lot of work goes in to what they do every day and it truly shows. They care about their clients and I felt that they strove to make us 100% satisfied with our final results. I can't wait to use them again for other stationery needs!

le and had almost immediate feedback when I had questions or adjustments. Super pleased with their work.

our wedding. Shannon was great to work with and help guide me through the process. Thank you for everything!

ce things about her and would 100% recommend her to anyone planning a wedding or event. Thank you, Shannon! You are the BEST!!!

ng for and she really went above and beyond to help make the design come together! She did it in such a short amount of time as well! Thank You!!!!

took care of the addressing, bundling and sending out. I would have been lost without them.

rent companies in Austin and Houston. I actually was able to personally meet with Arielle (she was super flexible with me since I was from out of town and met with me during a weekend). I loved her personality and her creativity! The Inviting Pear also came highly recommended and had amazing reviews. After I compared all the companies it was a no brainer and decided to work with them. I am sooo happy that I did because Arielle who worked closely with me was such a joy to work with! I know that I was not an easy customer, I was very perfectionist and had a million editions to my save the date and wedding invitation and she was super patient with me and did all the changes that I requested and more. She also had great attention to detail and was able to understand my vision and even made it better. I absolutely LOVED the final product! I wanted to design a logo for our wedding that would represent our love story and how we met (I am originally from Mexico, my husband is from Colombia and we met and live in Houston) and she took my idea and a map that my sister drew and elevated it and made it just PERFECT! We absolutely loooved our wedding logo as it represented us and our story as a couple perfectly! We used it for the invitation as well as the wedding day. I used it as inspiration for our wedding decor and theme and it was perfect! Our guests absolutely loved the stationary and got lots of praises about how beautiful our invitations and save the dates were! Arielle was one of my favorite vendors and she was an absolute pleasure to work with! I would hands down recommend them to any person looking to have the most AWESOME stationary for a special event! To Arielle thank you sooo much for being so patient with me and for your wonderful creativity! Thank you for bringing my logo to life!! I really appreciate it!!, love, Gloria

ut the design process was one of the easiest parts of the wedding planning process. We received so many compliments on our wedding invitations and she carried the same style throughout the rest of our paper products for our wedding.

rouble getting the invitations out! Couldn't recommend more!

that fit beautifully into the look and feel of everything. These day-of details would have been so stressful were it not for Shannon. I can't recommend her highly enough - thank you Shannon!!

ations! Arielle was absolutely wonderful to work with and made our vision into reality; she remained open-minded and flexible with our many, many ideas. She managed to merge our visions together perfectly by using her keen artistic eye and design prospective. Our paper goods are more than I have ever imagined! On top of all things, she was very professional, timely, and responsive. From our first design meeting with Arielle to having printed invitations in my hand, it took merely 6 weeks! And considering we emailed back and forth almost daily, I feel like that 6 weeks went by faster than the speed of light! I would (and do) 100% recommend working with Arielle.

at options and through their vendor lists, we were able to find Inviting Pear. For us, it was another fortuitous choice. Shannon, who owns the company, was our point of contact and, from the first meeting, we knew we had chosen well. She provided far more assistance than I could have anticipated providing guidance on wording choices for our formal wedding to spreadsheets for the guest lists to make printing not only easy but correct with regards to rules of etiquette. While I originally thought we would use Inviting Pear for only the invitations, our experience was so positive and Shannon so helpful, that they also provided escort cards, head table seating cards, and table numbers. One of the most special aspects of working with Inviting Pear is Shannon’s creation of the couple’s monogram. With input from all of us, she created an image they will use for years to come and which we incorporated in everything printed or produced for the wedding. I am already looking for the next opportunity to work with Shannon!

ut perfect. I can't recommend them enough for your upcoming wedding. We were able to do so much more with our invitations (adding backing, belly band, custom logo, etc) than we could have just ordering online and for about the same price!

d time for proofs etc. is stealth speed. Amazing!!!!

or the garden wedding based on our descriptions. Our programs, menus, and signage were strikingly gorgeous. She and Shannon were especially helpful with articulating the wording used on our selected stationery, and with the final extra touch of tying a ribbon around the neck of our program fans that matched the wedding colors. We were very happy with everything, and received many compliments on everything that was created. The Inviting Pear was the perfect choice for us because we got a very beautiful, very unique set of wedding stationery!

constant contact, even on weekends and when she was out of town for vacation. She hand drew the loveliest maps for our invites that totally encompassed who we are. I could not recommend Arielle more!

with something better than I could have ever dreamed of!! Since sending out my invitations, I have received nothing less than rave reviews! My highest recommendations for the Inviting Pear :)

f our feedback and was willing to help us make sure that everything was exactly how we wanted. I didn't have any big ideas about our invitations and really wanted more of a classic look and feel... Shannon definitely delivered on that! And we had some fun stationery for our wedding night, including cardboard cutouts of our faces for people to use in the photobooth (those were a huge hit and ended up on the dance floor after a couple of hours).

creativity and designs are even better. She was able to understand the vision I was going for and literally designed the PERFECT invitation suite. You cannot go wrong with The Inviting Pear!

es, invitations, response cards, place cards, escort cards, bar menus, and other items, she has been patient, kind, incredibly responsive, and an overall pleasure to work with. Not to mention our invitation package looks incredible! As an Austin-ite, I also love that she prints locally. Hiring Shannon was one of the best decisions I made in wedding planning!

stationary out of the water and I can't tell you how many compliments we've received on our save the dates and wedding invitations. She was extremely friendly through the whole process and patient with us as we made little tweaks here and there. But, her work barely needed any revisions. She was able to meet with us once and capture everything we were looking for in our wedding stationary. It surprised me, but she was the most fun vendor I think we worked with. Every time I saw an email from her in my inbox I got excited because I couldn't wait to see her latest creation. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. Not only is she fantastic at what she does, but she's reasonably priced and her work is worth every penny (and then some). We'll be using her to send out announcements as soon as we get our wedding pictures and she'll be our go to for any future invitation needs. Shannon, I know I've said it a few times, but you are absolutely the best!!

hat stamps work best. Not that it mattered...she handled the details perfectly for me! Our wedding was a black tie event for a few hundred people in Austin, Texas though we planned from Minneapolis, MN. We wanted elegance smothered in bbq sauce with a side of queso. Yeah, I'm aware that's odd but hey, my wedding, not yours. Shannon crafted the perfect invites, led us through the oddities of how to address black tie invitations when you live in a state that people literally hate to be called sir & ma'am and ensured that while we couldn't actually have them hand delivered by a man wearing a top hat they would still exude enough elegance that it was basically the same thing. Her professionalism was outstanding, her turn around times faster than you can imagine and the final product? PERFECT. I'm hoping to get an invite to your party just so I can judge your invitations next to mine...though if Shannon does them it won't really matter. They will most definitely be EXACTLY what you are looking for!

dding day stationary. Everything turned out awesome and just as I expected!

y with all she does. Our invitation was exquisite. One former wedding planner invited to the wedding, called at the last minute to say she couldn't bring herself to send in the RSVP card, because she loved the invite so much she couldn't part with any of the elements! A great compliment indeed. I am so glad our wedding planner, Becky Navarro @ Pearl Events recommended Shannon. Five stars plus!!

hen relaying my design vision to Shannon, she absolutely nailed it every time making the process so smooth and quick. She always returned all email correspondence promptly and answered all my questions thoroughly while offering invaluable advise and recommendations for all my paper needs for my wedding. Her services are worth every penny! The finished product is flawless. Do not look any further! Shannon is fabulous and beyond talented... and how cute is the name "The Inviting Pear"? Loved everything about my experience.

le to customize it exactly to my liking. Not only was I impressed with her willingness to get the design I had in my mind down to perfection on paper (including sending me samples of how the finished product would look), but it turned out even more beautiful than I had envisioned in print. I will be using her for all of my wedding paper needs! A must-use vendor if you are in Austin or the surrounding areas!

ly, and people I do not know. I cannot say a bad word!

she made sure I was completely happy with the final design. Shannon did our save the dates, invitations, menus, programs, welcome cards, bar menus, breakfast invitations and escort cards. We loved everything and would absolutely recommend her. We will definitely enlist Shannon's talents again for future invitations and announcements!

t together the perfect design for our wedding colors/theme and really carried it throughout all of her work for us. She was very responsive to ALL of our emails (and there were a lot!) and got us changes and different versions very quickly. She was absolutely fabulous to work with and you can tell she really cares about the quality of her work and making sure we were happy throughout the process. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Shannon, she was one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process!

work with. They were attentive & professional & not to mention creative!

. Shannon showed me tons of her previous work so that she could get a feel for what I liked and what I was comfortable with. My 'vision' for my wedding changed (like any bride's does) over the course of the first few months and Shannon was flexible and understanding and worked with me through the process! I really appreciated how quickly and efficiently she communicated throughout our year of working together. I am absolutely in love with my invitations and am receiving tons of compliments as guests get them in the mail. Most importantly, Shannon wants YOU to be happy with the final product. I look forward to seeing what she comes up with for our programs and menus! Thank you, Shannon!
