Kalea Invitations

Claire was so talented every step of the way in creating the perfect wedding invitations for our son and daughter in laws wedding. She got what they wanted and created something special just for them. She truly is a very gifted artist. If you want something to define your event do not skip over this jewel!

Claire designed our wedding invitations for our September 28, 2012 wedding. She was amazing so many options and ideas to choose from. She was so creative all I did was tell her what kind of wedding we were having and our colors (green, black & white) and she came back with this beautiful monogram and invitation. We sent our invitations out last week and I have been getting texts and calls like crazy about how beautiful and different our invitations are. I couldn’t have been more happy with her. And I’m still not done we still need to do place cards and other things for my wedding.
I wouldn’t even hesitate about suggesting Claire to anyone I know!

I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to write this review! Claire is awesome! She did all the paper details for our wedding last year — invitations (there were about ten pieces involved in the invitation), menu cards, place cards, programs (we still get compliments), tags for our cookie bar, labels for our giveaways, water bottle labels, hang tags for champagne bottles, signage for the reception, signage for bathroom baskets, signage for our signature cocktails, etc. She even designed the banner image for our photo booth pictures! Claire was so great. She was SUPER patient with me — I was slightly obsessive, down to measuring by 7/​8″ — but Claire was SO great and she quickly knew what I wanted and was I was looking for. She was super receptive to everything and I couldn’t be happier with the work she did. Claire is incredibly talented and my husband and I couldn’t be happier with all the hard work she put into our wedding stationary. All the work she did really pulled together the vision I had for our wedding — there was a cohesive look that I wanted and thanks to Claire, we were able to achieve it. Thank you thank you thank you one hundred thousand times over. Our photographer took pictures of our invitations, programs, place cards, etc. I’ll post soon.

Claire designed our wedding invitations 10 years ago, and we still get comments on how beautiful they were. We loved the monogram that Claire created, which we used throughout as a theme, and back then the layered panel look was just starting to appear, but ours was tea length and descriptions on the bottom, so when everyone saw the invite, they said everything was so organized and perfect, even came with a tear out postcard reply. Love!!!
Claire has such an easy going personality, it’s such a pleasure working with her. We’re glad we went with Kalea Invitations for our wedding invitations.

My wedding invitations were beautiful! I didn’t give Claire much time to create my invitations, but they turned out really great. I got so many compliments from the guests. At one point, I thought a certain color scheme was going to be better, but Claire gently showed me the error of my ways. Thank God, I listened… Take note, she knows what she is doing so you’ll get an excellent result if you just don’t micromanage and let her show you what she can do.
Oh yeah, she was also sensitive to my budget concerns which I really appreciated. This did not affect the quality and aesthetics of the invitations.
There was some minor cut issues (easily remedied), but her professionalism, creativity and work ethic far outweighed that very small point. I highly recommend Claire :)

Claire is amazing! I found her on one of DoubleTree Hotel’s vendor list and as soon as I saw her website, I knew I had to ask her to make my wedding invitations. My wedding is this coming April and I contacted her end of August last year. I was bummed to find out that she couldn’t entertain clients at the time as she was about to give birth and my fiancé was concerned that we won’t be able to send out our invitations on time if we had to wait ’til November for her. But I was soo thankful that she replied and suggested we could go over my ideas and probably get started via e-​mail. I asked for and she actually recommended a couple of websites that had the same style as her but my heart was already set on her awesome creations!
My fiancé and I love to travel, plus we’ve been in a Long Distance Relationship since day one so it’s totally applicable to have a traveling theme to our wedding and so I told Claire everything that I wanted incorporated in our invitations. I also asked for Monograms as well. I totally left everything to her creative mind and she didn’t disappoint. I can’t recall how many e-​mails we’ve sent back and forth just to reach the perfect draft and she was super nice and patient all throughout. She didn’t mind all the changes I had to request as she really wants everything to be perfect too. My fiancé actually asked me if the invitations Claire made had met my expectations and I honestly told him that she actually exceeded it! The design was totally us! Our guests told me how cool and beautiful and unique our invitations were. They said it’s really not something you see all the time. I couldn’t be more proud to tell them about Claire. It’s amazing how everything came about with just e-​mails. I can’t wait for her to come up with our escort cards!
So if you want a really unique and personal invitation and wouldn’t settle for the generic one you see online or in stores, then Claire is the perfect one for you! Oh, and I almost forgot, Claire is very flexible when it comes to your budget. Just tell her what your budget is and she does her very best to work within it. Extremely creative, über nice, very professional, very knowledgeable, and very good!

I’ve had a few friends who have gone to Claire for their wedding invitations. Each of them have very distinctive personalities and taste and Claire was able to make a design to suite each couple perfectly. So for years and years I’ve been waiting for the day where I would be getting married and I could have the perfect invitation made for my perfect wedding.
Well, fast forward those years and I meet the man who is perfect for me and well, we decide to more or less elope. So there goes the wedding, BUT I refused to go without a fabulous announcement proclaiming our love and nuptials to each other. That’s when I went to Claire. Though I was living in NY by that time, I was still able to work with Claire through email and phone calls to create an announcement that enveloped both my style and my new hubby’s. They were clean and elegant yet modern. I absolutely LOVED them.
Getting married, even eloping, can be stressful enough. To have the pleasure to work with someone who is professional and knowledgeable makes all the difference. I knew throughout the process that I did not have to worry one bit and that I was in good hands.

I cannot even begin to tell you how lucky we were to have Claire do our invitations and other wedding stuff for the reception. For the invitations, I had a basic concept in mind but Claire was the one who came up with the logo, design, and layout and I do not think I could have dreamed of anything better than what she made for us. She worked within our budget and provided us with at least a half dozen of samples for us to choose from. (Which made it a little difficult because they were all so good!) In the end we took parts from this sample and parts from another sample and she was more than happy to make the revisions we requested. She even made the address labels for us! With everything Claire did for us, mailing our invitations was hassle free, neat, and professional.
We wanted to carry the same uniformity to our reception and asked Claire at the last minute if she could help us out. We were a little press for time since we had a destination wedding and wanted to assemble and ship everything off before the actual wedding date. This included our escort cards, table names, and favors. She fulfilled our request in a timely manner and even took the time to make sure everything was perfect. I have to mention here what a professional she is because during this time, she gave birth to her first child and we were a little concerned that she would not be able to get it all done. Not only did she surpassed our expectations but she made sure that we had everything that we needed for our big day. If it had not been for Claire, I seriously would have been totally stressed out and crying up until our wedding day. Instead, I got the wedding that I envisioned and the extra wedding details that made it perfect. Thanks Claire!

These invitations are amazing or as Unilocal says «It’s as GOOD as it gets!» Claire is soooooo easy to work with. She has done every invitation for me my family, and my friends imaginable, be it a wedding invitation (three), or a kid’s birthday party (six), or a surprise birthday (twice), or a baby shower (twice), or a wedding shower (twice)…all creative and unique designs. All my friends always compliment the invitations they receive. My guests love the invitations and so do I!!! Every year she always seems to top the previous year’s invitation!!! She’s that good!!!

Claire is the best to work with! Her creations and very unique work doesn’t compare to anyone else’s. She is very easy to work, responds very fast to emails, and without her the wedding themes are not complete. Thank you much for designing our fabulous letterpress wedding invitations, unique monogram, table numbers, menus, table seatings, ceremony programs, and favor tags! brides if your looking for the perfect invitations. search no more. you have found the right place!!!

Claire is one of the best out there! Completely professional, extremely creative, and easy to work with. Definitely one less thing to worry about when you’re a bride. She is doing all of my stationary for my wedding and I couldn’t be any more pleased with what she has done. I have gotten so many compliments on my invitation.
If you select her, you cannot go wrong. Nothing but class in her work! Thank you Claire for doing such an awesome job!

Claire is very creative and very personable w/​all her designs! I highly recommend her to anyone needing invitations, programs, etc… She is able to incorporate your ideas along w/​hers to create a product that you will be very happy with! She designed our wedding invites, programs, & menus as well and we couldn’t be any happier how everything turned out!

I’m not sure why my last review didn’t post, but I’m going to write another one because I cannot praise Claire’s work enough. SHe did such an awesome job on our wedding invitations, we are still getting compliments on them. She also did out thank you cards, table numbers, and place cards for our wedding. What I loved most about working with Claire is that she really works with your budget and she has so many creative ideas to help fit within your budget. I wouldn’t have chosen anyone else to do our wedding invitations and we will definitely use Claire again for future invitations. =)

Claire did our wedding invitations, guestlist posters and church programs. I wanted a different look for our invitations. I described to her what I liked and she’s creative it for me. I’m happy to say that I can’t be any happier with the job she’s done for us. She’s on top of it. I have referred her to all my friends who’s getting married. I got nothing but beautiful compliments with our invitations!

Claire made my wedding reception programs. I was too busy to help in the creative process. I basically said our wedding reception is a Monte Carlo/​Vegas/​Casino/​Loungy theme and we are not going for traditional, elegant or fancy. I said I want them simple, fun, easy to read and they gotta be cool and contemporary where people actually want to read them and not use them as coasters. After a few emails back and forth we were presented with a unique design that I was very pleased with. The Monte Carlo theme was fun, chic and suggested, rather than in your face cheesy and corny. What I appreciated was Claire creating all the copy and design. I had no idea how the wording was supposed to be laid out much less the appropriate wording at all. She was very quick and communicated well via email.
I would definately use her again.

Claire’s work is always held to the highest standards. She excels to taking over a project from idea to final design. Her ability to communicate with her clients every step of the way is one of her biggest assets. It is extremely comforting to know that there is someone with experience and creativity working on our projects.

Claire’s the best! She did my FSIL’s wedding invitations last year and they were beautiful. Claire designed and put together the whole stationery suite (STDs, invitations, rehearsal programs, menus, etc.) and they were gorgeous! You couldn’t work with a better wedding vendor: she’s professional, sweet ‘n’ friendly, talented, artistic and über-​creative. She has an eye for design and if you have some ideas of what your invitation package should look like, she’ll run with it and your stuff will end up looking better than you even envisioned. I have no idea what I want for my wedding stationery (I don’t even have a theme yet) but I’m definitely going with Claire because I know she’ll come up with something amazing. Her personal stationery (thank-​yous, note cards and stuff) are also really cute.

a haiku:
creative, custom
excellent execution
invites in the mail

I likes them! Paper to Pixel Design Studio designed my sister’s wedding invitations and programs and it’s super fancy! It’s like a little gift in an envelope when you open up Claire (the main designer’s) creation. the paper she used for the invites is a tactile delight and the fancy letterpress had some of our friends/​family asking, «WHO’S WEDDING ARE YOU INVITED TO??» it was that special.
I saw samples of stationery and if i was not lame and actually corresponded in other media beside electronically, I could totally rock using my own personal stationery. hmmm maybe I should just order and pretend I’m not as lame. :)
