Mew Paper Arts

I cannot say enough about Alissa from Mew Paper Arts. I was having a very hard time finding a wedding invitation that was different and more unique from all the routine ones you see. I just couldn't find one that fit me and my wedding theme. Then my mom started looking on a website called Etsy. We found Mew Paper Arts on Etsy and she had the most unique yet elegant wedding invitations. The one we really liked was a tea length one with hydrangeas and was primarily apple green and brown. Well we asked Alissa if she could make it more grey tones with green and black and she did it with no hesitation. She was so easy to work with and was able to match my wedding colors perfectly! Our wedding invitations were BEAUTIFUL and we got so many compliments. The best party is it is so easy to work with Alissa and she gets back to you so quickly. Then 2 weeks before the wedding we decided we wanted place cards and stickers for our favor jars. She was able to design the cards, send us proofs to pick from and then mail them to us within the week. She is truly talented and I'm so glad I found her!!

I found Alissa through Etsy.com. I was looking for someone to customize my save the date cards. She was great to work with and produced an absolutely gorgeous save the date card. I had an idea in my mind of what I wanted and we first worked that through in a few different iterations. Then, Alissa suggested a slight change of course that was PERFECT. And she was patient all the way through - it took 12 custom drawings, but the end result was sooo worth it. She knew when to make suggestions and when to follow my specs.
Everything was delivered on time and the cost was reasonable in light of the highly customized work.

In addition to her talent for design, Alissa is an effective communicator and businesswoman. I appreciate how attentive she was to my picky requests. It was a joy to work with her and I couldn't be happier with my invitations!

Alyssa was so patient with working with my daughter on choosing just the right color, font and total package for her wedding invitations. They are beautiful! We are so pleased that we are completing our stationery needs with ordering table numbers, menu cards and prgrams in the same lovely motif.

We feel so blessed and amazed at what Alissa did for my daughters wedding! The invitations were beautiful and we received many wonderful comments about them and how they fit my daughters personality! We were VERY pleased and would recommend her to any one! She was prompt and communicated very well with us! I would use her again!!!
Thanks Alissa!!!

Alissa is the most pleasant, talented and easy vendor I've ever worked with. She was dedicated to the job, worked quickly and creatively, and was always willing to go the extra mile. She taught me the meaning of why NOT to do it yourself sometimes! I tried working on one piece - which turned out to be a disaster - only to call Alissa and have her jump in and save the day. I find her prices fair and her talents highly impressive. AND - her calm attitude helped an overwhelmed bride feel better! I can't recommend her highly enough.

I also have to mention that everyone commented on how beautiful and elegant the stationery was. I used her for invitations, rsvp cards, menus, table numbers, programs and thank you cards. I wanted something easy, floral, to incorporate birds but not be too "matchy" - she found the perfect balance of all the above, and worked with me until we got it just the way I wanted it. She reflected my style, and my family and friends remarked how it was all "so you." Lovely....and so happy with everything.

I am the aunt of the bride and my assignment for the wedding is announcements and invitations. I compared several vendors and settled on Alissa because her designs were unique and of high quality.

From day one it was the utmost pleasure working with Alissa. She totally "got" our concept and worked with me to get exactly what we had in mind. She actually copied the flowers that will be on the front of my niece's gown to use on the announcements and invitations. She matched the colors perfectly.

We all are thrilled with the results - even better than we could have imagined. Plus, I get all the kudos for finding her!

I would recommend Alissa and Mew Paper Arts to anyone looking for invitations or announcements for any occasion. She is pleasant and creative - just a joy to work with.

She's a real gem. She really listened to what I wanted, was conscious about my budget and offered appropriate suggestions/services. She was open to last minute changes and was conscientious about responding quickly. If the need arose, I would definitely do business with her again. (Also I had a small wedding with less than 25 invitations and she was very accommodating and professional).

After spending hours of searching for lavender blossom wedding invitations, I found Alissa’s Lavender Fields invitations on Etsy.com. After receiving some samples, I knew that her wedding invitations were more than just pieces of paper, but true works of art. I cannot imagine choosing any other invitations.

I have enjoyed working with Alissa for many reasons. First of all, as a first-time bride (which many of us are), she is able to make informed suggestions about etiquette and what brides usually prefer. I found this very helpful because I am rather clueless when it comes to weddings! That being said, Alissa is also very flexible and works to make a product that is exactly what you want. Indeed, the proofs that she sends mirror the exact product you will receive.

Alissa is also very understanding of budgets. She gave me many different suggestions to cut down on cost without sacrificing the final product. The end result was unique and stunning invitations.

I have communicated with Alissa solely by email, but have enjoyed our communications. She has a great sense of humor and was willing to go outside of the box to make my invitations exactly what I wanted. She has also been very attentive to my needs and concerns, making me feel like I’m the only bride in the world. I loved the invitations so much that I have asked her to also produce our wedding programs, and maybe even incorporate some of her designs into our guest book. (Alissa was flexible enough to be willing to work with a book binder to accomplish this second task.) I am confident in the quality of her products because she takes such pride her work. Whatever she comes up with will be unique and beautiful.

Long story short: I would highly recommend Mew Paper Arts for gorgeous designs and attentive service that you won’t find anywhere else.

I met Alissa at a bridal show and loved her work. I was looking for a wedding invitation that was traditional and elegant. Alissa created a beautiful one to suit my taste, and I received many compliments on the invitation. She really worked with me to get just what I wanted for my special day. Alissa is very patient and talented. She's easy to work with and has awesome ideas.
She also created menu cards and seating cards to go along with my theme.
Plus, my husband and I gave a donation to the American Cancer Society in lieu of a traditional wedding favor and Alissa created a beautiful card in memory of my grandmother to give to all our guests.
I would definitely recommend Alissa to future brides and hope to work with her again in the future.
Thanks Alissa!

I found mewpaperarts and Alissa through Etsy.com while on a very extensive hunt for the right invitations to compliment my destination wedding in Italy. There aren't a lot of beautiful elegant but rustic invitations with an olive theme out there for wedding invitations. After weeks of hunting I found her and the sample that she sent me was more beautiful than the pictures on the website.

Alissa was a joy to work with over email about how I wanted the invitations to look. She was also super responsive when I told her that I wanted to get them out ASAP. She worked with me and I am very grateful for it. When my invitations went out everyone was blown away with how perfect and lovely they were. I have already recommended her to people looking for invitations and will continue to recommend her.

I searched the internet, etsy, all wedding websites, for the perfect invite. I finally found what I wanted in Mew Paper Arts. (I am actually an ex-stationery provider, paper geek) I have never worked a vendor who maintained both a sense of professionalism and flexibility than Alissa. She did a suite of wedding invites for me, with a custom design. They were so well received! I had people writing on the response card, "Great Invites." "Beautiful invitations, and I know paper." etc...
Alissa is so easy to work with, goes the mile for you. She really cares how things come out and is tireless in her pursuit to make you happy. Her graphic design eye is fabulous.
AND, she's really a nice person. What a talent.
I can't recommend her highly enough.

I was searching for save-the-dates and I founds Alissa on Etsy. From the moment I contacted her she was extremely responsive. I gave her my ideas and she just ran with it (so creative!). When I decided to make a last minute change she quickly made the modification and didn't even charge me more. My save-the-dates came out so beautiful, I couldn't be happier. Thanks Alissa!

I had a very specific look I wanted for my Save the Dates and invitations and found Alissa’s acorn stationery on Etsy.com. It was perfect! The resort where I am getting married has acorns and oak leaves as its logo and her design and color choices worked flawlessly with the design of the venue. There was no difficulty in contacting Alissa and she was very knowledgeable about the proper etiquette for wording. She returned corrected proofs within a day and had the invitations to me within a week of the final proof. All of our friends and family fell in love with how our stationery reflected our fall ceremony in the mountains. Thanks again Alissa!

I too found Alissa on Etsy.com. I was looking for wedding invitations that were unique and would be considered beautiful decades from now. I thought her prices were very reasonable for being custom made. Alissa was very accommodating, especially considering the rushed time-frame. She worked with me to choose colors and paper... and they arrived in the mail before I could blink! The invitations Alissa made were even prettier in person than the final draft she emailed to me. It's nice to know that our guests will be keeping their invitations as keepsakes instead of tossing them into the recycle bin! I can't wait to order from Mew Paper Arts for our next event :)

I was extremely pleased with Alissa's work. The invitiations for my wedding were gorgeous and perfect. I received so many compliments from guests who commented on the uniqueness and beauty of the invitations. I loved the invitations and thank cards produced.

Alissa was wonderful to work with. She took all my thoughts about what I wanted in an invitation and was able to create exactly what I wanted. Alissa produces high quality work and was extremely fast in producing the invitations. She was always easy to reach, responsive, and open to any change. I will be refering Mew Paper Arts to all future brides!

Alissa is EXTREMELY talented. I found her on Etsy and loved everything in her portfolio. I love how she captures the "theme" of the wedding. I hired her for my save the dates. I am having a fall wedding and didn't want anything fall related, but actually wanted a castle image (to represent the reception site) without anything cheesy. Everything I saw online was Disney/Cinderella.
Alissa created something classy, beautiful and unique. I started with an idea in mind about what I wanted and we worked through a few images. Then, Alissa suggested a slight change of course and it turned out perfect. She knew when to accept my specifications and when to make suggestions.
She was timely, and a good price in terms of all of the customized images she did for me (it took 12 till I found the perfect image!). She was patient and accessible. I produced extra save the dates in no time when I needed more. And she made a slight tweak when I wanted a set of save the dates for my co-workers without my wedding website information.
All in all it was a great experience and a perfect way to annouce our upcoming wedding. I would HIGHLY recommend Alissa.

I found Alissa after searching high and low online for wedding invites that were afforable, recycled, and that suited our tastes. Both my husband and I instantly liked a design and we were off and running with emails to Alissa. She is super sweet and thoughtful. We inquired about pricing months before we ordered and she honored the pricing originally quoted even though there had been an increase. When our original invitation set was stolen out of our mailbox, Alissa was willing to reprint for us at a reduced rate to make sure we could still have our invites. She is really easy to work with and open to making changes to customize an existing pattern. In addition to our invites we had save the dates, escort cards, table names, food labels, and other paper goods created for our wedding. I also ordered personalized stationery sets for our bridal party. Everything arrived quickly and was packaged beautifully. Our weddings guests and wedding party loved everything that Alissa created. I am so glad that we chose to work with a small business and will continue to go to Alissa for gifts and invites in the future!

Mew Paper Arts delivered my husband and me exactly what we wanted for our wedding invitations, programs and table numbers. Since the design for each item tied into the other, there a real sense of class, fun and consistency to the event!

Working with Alissa was great! She was very flexible and patient with us. She produced custom samples for us to see and feel. She was grace under fire with many custom requests to meet under a tight timeframe. Since she did such a great job for our wedding, I’ve recommended Mew Paper Arts to numerous friends and family members for weddings, baby and bridal showers, birth announcements – you name it!

Her designs are cute as can be! If you see something you like but it's not exactly what you want, all you have to do is ask - she'll make modifications and customize your order if possible. Our save-the-date cards and invitations were perfect! And I love the fact that she used recycled papers. When the package arrived, I was greeted by perfectly arranged packets of stationary tied with ribbons. It was so beautiful that I didn't want to take it all apart! Our guests were so impressed with your work. Thanks!

I also found Alissa on Etsy. I loved everything I saw on her website and really loved her back-story! Above all Alissa had exactly what we were looking for, cute & affordable recycled wedding invitations! Working with Alissa is so easy, for me it was all via email as we are several states apart, and she takes everything you say and turns it into exactly what you are envisioning! She will work on your invitation and tweak it as many times as you want (we changed the colors, the fonts, the wording, everything!), and with each change Alissa sends you a picture so you can see exactly what you're getting. Alissa is so sweet and friendly to work with, she really makes this task of the wedding planning process a breeze (and fun!). I absolutely loved the end result, we had very personalized eco-chic wedding invitations that our guests RAVED about and really tied in with our 'green' wedding.

I would recommend Alissa in a heart beat for any occasion, but Alissa is a MUST for all stressed out brides looking for perfect invitations without the headache!

Allissa was wonderful to work with--she allowed us to take a design we found on her website and customize it into exactly what we wanted. The invitations turned out exactly how I pictured them, and are such a perfect introduction for our guests of the tone of our wedding. She was very patient as we went through several iterations of the design and wording, providing new copy each time.

Her attention to detail is fabulous as well--I received the invitations packaged beautifully and wrapped in satin ribbon! I am a big fan of the display, and this was a wonderful added touch.

Ahhh, yes. Buying handmade is fabulous. I feel certain I will indulge with Mew Paper Arts again in the future!

I found Alissa through Etsy because I was impressed with her portfolio of work. Within a couple of communications, I was positive that I had found the right person. Alissa was a joy to work with and a true collaborator. She was able to translate all of my ideas into art that went above and beyond my expectations. Her attention to detail and sense of whimsy translated beautifully. We received endless compliments on how she was able to capture our personalities in her delightful work. The best part -- Alissa and I never met face to face and communicated by email. We don't even live in the same country and she was able to understand exactly what we wanted.

I would highly recommend Alissa to anyone for all occasions.

I was beyond thrilled with Alissa and my invitations from Mew! I had all but given up on finding THE perfect invitation until I found her. She worked with all my ideas and gave wonderful feedback while respecting my vision. I couldn't have been happier with the process or the results! I even had a friend carry my wedding invitation around in her purse to show people she loved it so much! Mew also made my placecards, favor tags, bridal shower thank you notes and wedding photo thank you notes! Everything was fantastic--beautiful, high quality, and unique. Mew is my 'go to' for all my special stationery needs--my baby announcements are in the works!

Hi, Alissa.
I just have to share this with you.

I got a call from my husband that a box came from Mew. I told him it wasn't a present and that he could look at the cards I ordered. He opened the box and told me the cards were wrapped "too neat and pretty" for him to open before i got home and that I had to experience unwrapping the items because they were packaged so nicely.

So funny!

I haven't been home yet but if he's wowed before even seeing the cards it must be something special. ;)

Hi Alissa,
I must first compliment you and the beautiful Save-the date cards you designed for my daughter Gillian and Jason.

The wedding will be at Oheka Castle on Long Island . Gillian had a vision of a muted castle in the background and the bold lettering on top. Well you did just that and better. The wording pops as it should and the beautiful castle is just as it should be too. Pleasing Gillian was something you had way more patience for than I but that proves that you are an artist who takes her work seriously to reach a final product that pleases the client.

The quality of paper is beyond my expectations ! A hint of muted gold and a gorgeous navy speckled card adds total class to the card .
Oheka Castle was featured on Platinum Weddings and your work speaks Platinum as well !! Thank you for such great work and attention to detail.

Pat G. - Gillian's Mom

I first came to know Mew Paper Arts through a friend who used them for her wedding invitations, which I thought were just fabulous. From my first phone call to Mew I knew Alissa and her creations would be a perfect fit for my stationery. When we started the process I didn’t have a clear idea of what I wanted. I gave Alissa just the basic information about our big day — the colors and flowers. She came back to us with quite a few fun and creative options, in record time! The invite we ended up choosing was such a big hit! I’ve been getting calls from family and friends just to tell me that the invite was so fabulous and unique! The bonus, is that in addition to a great product being delivered on time and on budget, Alissa is just a pleasure to work with. I’ve had a million questions for her along the way and she helped me through everything, including giving me advice on the proper wording for the invitation, brainstorming ideas for our place card table, and even on personalizing our postage! Overall working with Alissa at Mew was truly a pleasure and definitely the least stressful part of planning a wedding

My wedding was last Saturday and I wanted to thank you for your participation in creating such a lovely day. From the moment I saw your ingenious, unique designs, I knew they would really showcase and create the buzz of the unique event I was planning. Your invitations were a hit and I still receive compliments on the design, quality and attention to detail that they displayed. Thank you for helping to craft a truly unique day of Mardi Gras in New England!

Alissa, these are breathtakingly beautiful. They totally met and exceeded our wildest dreams. The only problem is now I don’t want to release them into the wild, they’re too gorgeous!!! ;) You were a true delight to work with, you did a great job of calming down a very nervous and clueless me. You never once rolled your eyes (at least that I could see) when I was indecisive, or asked silly questions. And of course, your attention to detail is exquisite!!! I definitely know who I’ll be calling for any/all of my future paper needs, and when people call to tell me how amazing the invites are, I’ll be giving you all the credit, amazing reviews, and hopefully some referrals! I’ve already been raving about you, but now I can rave EVEN MORE. :)

Alissa, you totally rock. Thank you sooooooooo much!

We love Alissa's artistry and her unique approach to her craft. She is a joy to work with and makes the process fun!
