Day 29, meet Nessa with Cardgirl Custom Invitations!

Champagne: How did Cardgirl Custom Invitations begin? 

Cardgirl Custom Invitations: It all began in early 2002, when I was planning my own wedding in Portland, Oregon.  I searched high and low for an invitation I loved, or a designer who could create an invitation to match my style and my wedding.  I wasn’t satisfied with anything I found, so I ended up designing my own invitations and stationery.  Seven years….and two children later I love my job more than ever.

Champagne: What’s your inspiration? 

Cardgirl Custom Invitations: Each bride I work with has a vision of how her perfect day will look, and I love the excitement and challenge of coming up with the perfect invitation suite for the couple.  I enjoy every step of the process…idea generation, design, color, production…and most of all, the final product.

Champagne: What types of printing processes do you offer and which do you specialize in? 

Cardgirl Custom Invitations: I offer all types of printing processes, and specialize in letterpress.  I love the handcrafted & timeless beauty of letterpress.

Champagne: Do you offer matching table numbers, programs, place cards, thank you notes, etc? 

Cardgirl Custom Invitations: Yes, just about anything you could dream up, I can create.

Champagne: What do you love to do when you’re not doing what you do? 

Cardgirl Custom Invitations: I love family time with my husband and two boys.

Champagne: Do you have a minimum order? Do the invitations come in increments of 25? 

Cardgirl Custom Invitations: I do not have a minimum order requirement, and the invitations come in whatever quantity you need.

Champagne: Do you offer recycled paper invites? 

Cardgirl Custom Invitations: Yes, and the letterpress ink is soy-based.

Champagne: What’s the approximate turn around time? 

Cardgirl Custom Invitations: It depends on your needs, but the standard turnaround time is about eight weeks for design & production for letterpress, and 3-4 weeks for other printing types.  Please allow for additional time if heavy assembly is required.

Champagne: Do you have invitations for parties and other events related and not related to weddings? 

Cardgirl Custom Invitations: I do.
