A&P Designs is a truly fantastic stationery and paper vendor. One of the best parts of working with Alicia and A&P Designs is that they allow you to design your own custom letterpress stationery - meaning that you get a unique product for no more than you might spend on a "chain" letterpress stationery set (e.g., William Arthur, Crane). From day one, they spent the time to get to understand me as both a person and a bride to ensure that they could produce items that would reflect my style and personality. We had several meetings - both in person and over email/the phone (as I am in California) - to review the details of my design requests and get a better understanding of the actual products I would like. Each time that Alicia and her team submitted several designs that ranged from "safe" to "pushing the edge" in an effort to hit the nail on the head. And, they certainly did! In addition to the traditional invitation suite, we also created some unique (and tricky!) day-of papers, including die-cut leaves to place on top of clementines for escort cards and a menu letterpressed onto a paper bag that would hold the bread. Alicia and her team took the initiative in finding solutions that would fit these distinct requests. All of the designs were well-thought-out and beautiful. In the end, my entire invitation suite and day-of papers were better than I could have imagined. Additionally, Alicia and her team were willing to adapt their styles to work with me. Whether that meant doing reviews via email or taking the extra time to send proofs, Alicia always made sure that I felt taken care of and comfortable with the product before producing it. Even though I was thousands of miles away from Alicia during the process, she was able to make it a collaborative process and produce truly unique products that complemented the wedding (and my style) perfectly! I would highly recommend Alicia to anyone looking to design invitations or cards - and especially those who are looking for wedding invitations outside of the "run of the mill" items you find in most shops. She's a pleasure to work with and delivers a high-quality product.
