5 out of 5 starsLarissa was great to work with. She communicated constantly and even provided suggestions regarding the colors and font to make my wedding invitations look even better. She provided picture samples and made the payment process easy. She was able to provide a sample of the invite within a few days and print them up and ship them out within a week. I was worried about how long the process would take but she was very efficient. The movie tickets were even bigger in size and better than I thought! The quality is good and she even stuffed the invites in the envelops! The colored envelops make the invites even more elegant. No complaints and would definitely recommend especially if you’re going with a movie theme for your wedding or event. They are unique yet so elegant.

A wedding & event graphic design studio
I started Papercake Designs in 2005 so engaged couples could create wedding invitations & stationery that are truly their own. The business began with a partnership with a pastry chef. We created wedding & party experiences in which cake & invitations were designed to match.
As a professional graphic designer loaded with ideas & inspiration, I offer the customization that larger stationery companies just can’t. Finding the right design & paper for each client’s event is still my passion.
Together, we'll customize your invitations down to the smallest details. Planning events can be stressful, but I’ve been collaborating successfully with clients for 15 years. Let me be your paper therapist!
