Customers I love: Austin

Thursday, January 24, 2013


Meet sweet sweet Sage!!
How cute is this kid?
It is through a convoluted web off connections that Carey (Sage's hip mom) and I know each other.  She is the sister of, the husband of, my best friend Gin (3 plus, 4 plus, carry the one ....).  At any rate - now we know each other and Carey has been kind enough to use my little company for a shower for my best friend (her sister-in-law) ... 


World-themed shower invite for my world traveling best friend


Multi-lingual thanks note - right up Gin's ally
Cute cupcake toppers
THEN, Gin used me for a shower for Carey!
Peacock Invite - this is along the theme lines of Sage's darling room!

Gotta have a thanks note to match

I'll be honest, I love a short name banner
And topped off with cupcake toppers
Well, you would think Carey Austin had enough of me. Nope. She let me design her birth announcements.  She described what she wanted and sent me a gaggle of dar-ling pictures, and let me go to work. Here are some of the designs I sent her!





And here is the announcement she picked! Side note here, Carey was so fantastic to work with - she knew exactly what she liked and where to put things and had hip, lovely ideas for customizing this announcement to her hearts' delight!  People often apologize "I'm sorry if I'm being picky", "I hope you don't mind, but" - mind? I love it - tell me exactly how to make this perfect.  You have the vision in your head, I have the {marginal} illustrator skills to help that vision come to print - so by all means, pick away!!!
The pic for this announcement was stinkin' cute, which didn't hurt anything either, and I am so glad I got to participate in capturing such a monumental moment in a new family's life.


 So, welcome - Sage - Thank you, Carey - and in a round about way - thank you Gin!








Customers I Love: Kennerly

Saturday, January 19, 2013

I want to tell you a little bit about some of the customers I love. Today's feature fam will be the Kennerly family.

I don't know Megan that well - although, we email each other in two and three sentence emails which makes me feel like we are old friends.  Truth be told, she is a friend of a friend - who has used me for a number of occasions, for which I am grateful! She is the perfect customer.  Emails me with plenty of time, sends me links to things she loves, tells me changes without putting fluff around it ("I like B, but not that color, etc"). And just look at how cute this fam is!! (I had the pleasure of doing their Christmas Cards this year!)



This is a party that we did for the littlest Kennerly! Megan emailed me a link or two to some things she liked and we made some designs for her to choose from! Here was the invite she chose!


Favor tag


Name Banner

Another reason Megan is one of my favorites - is she is always kind enough to send me pics of the things I make in action! Here are a few of the photos from the actual event.  I love, love, love, seeing how things turn out!

Name Banner

Cute favor tags, and powdered sugar donut holes as "snowballs" - Love it!

Even a picture of the cake she had made to match the invites!

So, thanks Kennerly family, for letting me in on some of your fun - I am looking forward to all the parties in the years to come!



How I got my start

Thursday, January 10, 2013

It all started with my little shop in The Woodlands, Texas. From the beginning, we specialized in any and everything paper. Birthdays, babies and brides of all types, we customized any invitation to fit any occasion.
 

 

 I was knee-deep in business when Billy and I decided it was time to start a family. So RSVP Paper Studio closed its doors in March 2009. I cried, but just a little.

Three years and two babies later,





RSVP Paper Studio is ready to pick up where we left off.
Even while I was up to my elbows in babies, I dabbled in invitations; but now, I'm ready to get serious. I've streamlined the processes and increased the selection. I even made myself a fancy new name and brand!
My goal is to provide customers with superior service, a fast, no-fuss revision process and customized products you will love.




Take a look around our website. You’ll find three main areas: Weddings, Babies and Birthdays. If you want to make things easy, you can pick something right off the site and place your order right then and there.  If you need something more specific, I can do that too!

Custom projects were always my favorite - so let's meet for coffee or chat online, and I can help you build a custom wedding invitation that is not absurdly priced, and it tailored to the event you have been dreaming of!

I'm happy to customize your invitations for birthdays, birth announcements and showers, too! Choose from a wide selection of papers and accessories galore. I can't tell you how many friends and family email me a picture of something (a paper plate, a photo of an event or a t-shirt) and say can you make me invites, favor tags, cupcake toppers, and a name banner to match this. And of course, delighted, I say yes. 

Don’t see exactly what you like? Send me a link to your Pinterest board or email me images that inspire you, and I will create a customized invitation suite or announcement that is exactly what you are looking for. Some fees may apply.

I'm not going to try to compete with the big print houses, I don't have the time, energy or desire for that.  I want to make darling paper goods for people who want something unique, who want to support a small business and who don't want to spend a small fortune.

So browse my website and tell your friends! I can’t wait to design the perfect piece for your occasion!
