Alaya's custom monogram

I was so excited to get a custom monogram request on Etsy from new client Alaya, who was looking for a unique design to make into wax seals. How cool is that?

She scouted the old Custom Printables website and found the perfect frame for her initials, AD. We couldn't have been more pleased with the results!

Over the next few weeks, Custom Printables will be phasing out our old site and transitioning to our new entrepreneurial endeavor, Bull City Studio! Please bookmark the new blog and visit regularly!

Matt and Sara's invitation and announcement

I was absolutely thrilled to work with this charming couple who wanted an art deco-themed piece for their small ceremony and announcements. The Starburst suite seemed to be the perfect touch. Here is a photo of their customized invitations! Thanks, Matt and Sara!

Kim's 30th Birthday

Kim spent her thirtieth birthday in true style with a roarin' 20s theme! This custom invitation was designed especially for her in her signature colors of gold, red, black, and white. I can't imagine how much fun this party must have been!

We created a special matching monogram for Kim to add to her favors and decor.

Noah's Save the Date

Noah's mom wanted a special car-themed Save the Date for his Bar Mitzvah, as his family is spread out across the country. I was so excited to design this special piece in honor of his big occasion!

Heather's wedding program cover

Heather's future mother-in-law Edith contacted me to design a custom image for the cover of their wedding programs and the wedding bentcher. The bentcher is a small booklet containing the important prayers and blessings for a Jewish wedding ceremony and meal. Mazel tov, Heather and Sam!

Motown party invitation

Wouldn't you just love to get this stylish surprise birthday invitation in the mail? Rayetta's friends and family ordered this amazing Motown-themed invite!


It was so fun putting out this piece. Watch for a version of it soon to come in our Zazzle shop!

Birthday invitation for Sadie

Has it already been a year? My "niece," Sadie, is turning 5 this year and my best friend Erin asked me once again to design her birthday party invitations. This year's theme: Fairy Tales! We went with a storybook theme featuring a scroll and narrative instead of the typical invitation text.

Fairy tale invitation fit for a princess!

Have a look back on Sadie's previous birthday invitations:

Melissa and Jared's Wedding

Have I got a wedding for you! Newlyweds Melissa and Jared just sent me some amazing photos from their May 12 wedding, for which Custom Printables designed a number of cards and signs, along with the wedding program. A fabulous couple, the Edwardses were married at Penn State University. Their custom monogram and colors were based off of their invitation. I am thrilled to share these pictures with you, courtesy of the bride. All of the pieces were printed by the bride, and the programs were mounted on purple cardstock (double-sided) for extra sparkle. It's amazing what a simple picture frame will do to snazz up the event!

Instead of rice, the couple wanted to be cheered away!

We are! Married!
