😍 Introducing embossed floral place cards —> I treated myself to some new gadgets last month and have been playing with different designs and layouts for place cards.

Although, in my opinion, handwritten place cards are in a league of their own✨, these printed ones are a more affordable option for many of my clients.

Got an event coming up that needs some personality? Send me a DM and let’s get to personalizing! ☺️

Coming up with a fabulous caption is very high on the list for me as one of my reasons for not posting. I refuse to do it any more. 😂

Enjoy the pics! Get in touch if you need something. ✌️

For the friend who deserves to keep her treasures in something as beautiful as she is.

Reach out to me if your friend is worth it. 👀

Yeah, you read that right.

I can say without a doubt that each guest of this event took their CD home. That’s the power of personalization. 🖊️

🛑Stop gifting drawer junk. Send me a message and let’s find a cool favor for your event.

Credit for the idea of these CDs goes fully to my client. She’s one of my best repeat clients and her parties have got to so well thought out and detailed, I wish I was one of her close friends. 😅

Currently my favorite form of self-care, my hand-written place cards. You may need them. But I need them more. #iykyk

Mother’s Day weekend was absolutely bonkers as far as gift personalization. It’s been such a 🔥 trend this year and I honestly don’t see it going away any time soon. Or ever, really.

Customized gifting is here to stay. Personalized gifts can NOT be beat.

I’m sharing some short clips I was able to capture during one of the events I worked at a few weeks ago. Can you guess my favorite? (It’s in the comments.) Which do you like best?

It’s more than a simple card with a name on it.

It’s the time you took out to contact a calligrapher.

It’s the thoughtfulness you had to want to provide a customized table setting.

It’s the love that you show your VIPs. ❤️

It’s not for everyone. That’s for sure.

If luxury hand-lettered place cards are what’s missing from your table, send me a DM. Let’s fix that.
