One of the best decisions we ever made was partnering with Katy at Lewes Lettering for the Paper Suite for our Wedding in September. Not only is Katy an immensely creative + talented artist, she is also a consummate professional throughout the entire process.
From design to production to assembly to delivery, working with Lewes Lettering was a delight. Katy brought our vision of Classic Black Tie Elegance with a Touch of Blue to life and delivered an Invitation Suite that was beyond our wildest dreams. My husband, our families and I cannot sing her praises or express our gratitude enough for being one of the BEST Vendor Partners for our Wedding Weekend.

I do not even know where to begin with Katy and her team at Lewes Lettering Co. Everything was perfect from the moment we walked in her studio to getting our final order from them. She took my vision and put it on paper, literally. Gorgeous paper that is! We had Katy do our Save the Dates, Entire Invitation Suite, do calligraphy on our bottles for our seating chart, dinner menus, table numbers and finally our Thank Yous. Everything was more than I could imagine.
If I can suggest anything to make wedding planning a little easier, it would be working with Katy and her team. They are so sweet, kind and genuine people who just want to help you create the wedding experience of your dreams for you and your guests. I know we will continue to work with them for a long time.

Working with Katy of Lewes Lettering Co. was incredible from start to finish! We connected over an initial consultation call, but we really wanted to see everything in person. Katy was even more wonderful in person, and took her time showing us everything in her beautiful, Instagram-worthy shop and studio. Over many months, we worked together to design not just our invitations, but day of items - cocktail napkins, menus, table numbers, and signage - and Katy was always there to manage our countless emails, answer questions, and give honest feedback if we were unsure of something.
The result was an invitation that we were SO proud to send to our guests (many told us it was the most beautiful invitation they had ever seen), and personal details that truly added beauty and warmth to our day. We can’t thank Katy enough for her time, energy, and work, and would recommend her ten times over to anyone looking for a wedding invitation design experience that is truly personal.
