Katie and Charlie's wedding program

Was I ever in a for a fun challenge! For her wedding program, Katie wanted to include something special and interesting for her guests to enjoy. How about a crossword puzzle featuring questions about the couple? It was a blast to do this two-sided program, which will be printed on letter-sized paper. (Last names and the location of the wedding have been removed.)


Katie wrote the following review on WeddingWire:
"Valerie at Custom Printables is awesome!! I was looking for something really specific for my wedding programs and she was able to make exactly what I needed! They came out beautifully!!! Valerie was really great about responding to my questions and she had my programs finished super quickly! I LOVE them! The best money I've ever spent!"

Colleen and Tony's wedding

Colleen and Tony requested two monograms, the "Audrey" and the "Melaina," in two gorgeous colors, dark blue and magenta. When the "S" of their new last initial looked more like an "L," we subbed the font to one of Colleen's request, a great script called Tagettes, which you can find here at dafont.com.




Colleen and Tony also requested water bottle labels, which were done in the "Erin" monogram style (we also replaced the "S" with a Tagettes initial here).



Remember, Custom Printables is happy to substitute any font in our monograms free of charge! Colleen wrote the following review on our vendor site at WeddingWire:

"Valerie was fantastic to work with and provide an excellent product! She was very responsive (I had my order the next day) and made sure I received exactly what I wanted. I would definitely recommend using custom printables for your momogram and other wedding products!"

Dana and Bobby's program

Dana requested a double-sided program highlighting the rich traditions of the Jewish ceremony. She'll be printing these out on fans and distributing them at the wedding.

Dana wrote in her WeddingWire review: "Words cannot describe how much I love the program that Valerie designed for me! Not only is she extremely talented, she always gets back to you right away. I told her what I was looking for, and she designed the program exactly as I had pictured it. Using custom printables also saves you alot of money. I am so happy I used custom printables. I highly recomend this service!"

Thank you so much, and Mazel Tov, Dana and Bobby!

Christine and Michael's program

Christine and Michael are getting married this week in New York City. Their program features a custom monogram based on the "Erin" version. It was such a pleasure working for them! The program will be printed on 8.5x11 paper with a blank back cover.




Christine wrote in her WeddingWire review: "I LOVED my program. Service was quick, professional, and impeccable. If you are even considering using this service - do not even hesitate. I work in fashion PR and was so proud of my program. The prices are so reasonable and service is fantastic!"

Thank you so much for your kind words, Christine, and all the best in luck and love in your marriage!

Five-star review and photos from Samara's wedding

Thanks to Samara for sending some photos from her wedding day, including two of the Custom Printables program created especially for her! This program is available as a four-, six- or eight-page program, and can be customized for any religious or secular ceremony.



Samara added these kind thoughts to her WeddingWire review:
"Valerie's design for our wedding programs was personal and beautiful. She was so easy to work with as I asked for any additions or revisions to my first draft, and she was very quick to respond to any emails. I was so pleased with the design and received many compliments. THANK YOU!"

Another 5/5 review on WeddingWire

Thanks to B'sgyrl for another 5/5 star review on WeddingWire:

"helped with our wedding program
super creative and turned out gorgeous"

Positive feedback is always appreciated!

WeddingWire 5/5 once more!

Marissa left a lovely review of Custom Printables at our vendor site on WeddingWire:

"Valerie was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was friendly, helpful, knew perfect Hebrew (very helpful with assembling & designing our wedding programs) and was overall just a really nice person. She was very flexible and understanding even when I emailed her with the 10th revision. Her prices are extremely reasonable and I couldn't be happier with the results. I will absolutely use her again in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for high quality designs at reasonable prices."

Thank you so much! Marissa was an absolute delight.

Another amazing review!

I could not have been more thrilled with my client Beth. As you'll recall, she and I attended the same college (albeit at different times) and it was so lovely to be able to design her wedding programs. Thank you so much for this glowing review on WeddingWire.

"Valerie is awesome, professional, artistic, patient, and aims to please. She designed the cover of my wedding program for me and did the text layout. She offered the text she had written for me to use, which is a nice perk. In the end, I decided to write my own text and had Valerie format it for me.

It took me longer than I thought to get that together and in the end, I had to pay a rush fee to have the job done in time. But Valerie got it done very quickly. I forget the exact timing, but I think it was less than 3 weeks before my wedding that I finally got the text to her. I'm very glad I had Valerie do the design, even with the rush fee. She did a MUCH better job than I ever could have done on my own and it would have taken me so long to try to do it on my own. I told her what I wanted and she did the design perfectly - incorporating both my and my finace's English and Hebrew names as well as the English and Hebrew date, and a quote in English and Hebrew. It looks beautiful. Also, the text layout was perfect.

I was very particular about layout and spacing and Valerie was so patient with me. She sent revisions quickly, with out seeming put out, and with out making me feel like I was being a difficult customer. In the end the program design was perfect. I love it. I got a lot of compliments on it at the wedding too.

I highly recommend using Valerie to design your programs. If we were custom designing anything else, like a logo or label, I would have hired her for that too, but the program was the only thing we did like this."

Yet another 5.0/5.0 review!

This review was recently posted on our WeddingWire vendor page.

"I can't even being to tell you how great Val is! She is a pleasure to work with, very flexible and innovative and she is very reasonably priced. She constantly checked in to see if I needed anything and she even modified our programs when she was on vacation, if that is not exceptional service, I don't know what is! I would highly recommend her to anyone!"

Thank you to my amazing clients for your support of Custom Printables!

Two 5 star reviews on Wedding Wire!

Two previous clients recently celebrated their nuptials and after reviewing Custom Printables' service, awarded us two perfect reviews on Wedding Wire! We couldn't be more thrilled and we thank both women for their business and reviews.

Shanacy said: "Valerie at Custom Printables did a phenomenal job creating our monagram. She took the palm leaf from our invitation and used that along with our names. It was PERFECT! We received many complements. Not only was it perfect, but she was so efficient as well. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!"

Jackie said: "I would recommend Custom Printables to everyone! I ordered Wedding Programs and they were gorgeous, exactly what I asked for and I got tons of compliments, everything down to the color and font was just perfect."

We are now WeddingWire rated!

After I finished Meaghan's invitations, she wrote a lovely review for Custom Printables which landed us a WeddingWire Rated logo. Thank you so much to all of our wonderful clients!
