Fantastic custom, handmade invitations and wedding stationery!

They are a VERY small specialty studio. All invites are ONLY sold by them. Plan ahead, just as you should with EVERY vendor.

After receiving our invites our guests kept calling me to say how UNIQUE and ORIGINAL our handmade invitations were.

I highly recommend 'My Personal Artist' to my family and friends and to everyone on theknot.com! My 'invitation company' for life!

I recently received my wedding stationery from My Personal Artist and had to write in a review. My fiance and I are getting married next year in Aruba so I wanted to incorporate a picture of the divi tree in the invitation. I found My Personal Artist online and they had a beautiful picture of Aruban scenery, complete with the divi tree and the beach. They were very easy to work with throughout the process. The invitations came in faster than anticipated and they are beyond my already high expectations. I highly recommend them.

I recently worked with Michelle on all of the paper good for my wedding. She did the invitations, maps, programs and table cards and they were all AMAZING! I can't tell you how many times I had people tell me how unique and wonderful my invitations were and comment how they set the vibe for the entire celebration. Michelle was wonderful to work with and she is amazingly talented. I would recommend her to anyone.

I have received SO many compliments on our invites. How beautiful and unique they are. I want to thank you and James for such a wonderful experience and a momento that will truly mean the world to me and my husband for the rest of our lives. We received one of our invitations as a gift in a beautiful frame that we have hanging on our wall! You two were a joy to work with, so helpful with all of my questions - and really create a perfect product. Your Monarch Butterfuly invitations helped me begin our monarch theme, and made it perfect. Our invitations spoke to our guests for us, creating an excitement for our wedding that could not be replaced. Thanks again for all you did for us.

Working with Michelle and James was phenomenal. I wish every business transaction would be as professional, creative, flexible, and personable with an amazingly beautiful finished invitation. We talked at great length over the phone to develop a wedding invitation using Michelle's wonderful creations, James' creative talents to mesh the ideas. The outcome was an unique invitation that truly represented my daughter Ashley. There was not a hitch in the entire process.

I chose My Personal Artist for my wedding stationary because of the quality of the work and the beautiful image. My husband and I were married on the beach and I wanted a beach-themed invitation that was classy and simply. Michelle nailed it! We chose to order the DIY invites and print them at home. They came out beautifully and went well with our beach theme. I also ordered table cards, place cards, guest book, reception cards, and thank you cards.

My personal artist not only exceeded our expectations, but brought our vision to life! The invitations were very elegant, beachy sheek, and all at a very affordable price. When I showed my sister the invitation, she thought they were the prettiest invitation she's ever seen. I would most def reccomend my personal artist to anyone in need of invitations!-Tiffany & Brian

The Mospens were a pleasure to work with! I wanted to use the watercolor grape art and told Michele that I wanted to do the pocketfold design. She chose a beautiful color pocketfold to compliment the grape design and they came out better than I could have imagined! Everyone said they were the most beautiful invitations they've ever seen! I couldn't be happier and will display my extra invite in a shadow box!

My personal artist--Co-Owners, Michelle and James did an incredible job on my wedding and family dinner invites! They were prompt with my requests, provided color proofs, and helped me to rush an order of table cards, when RSVP's had come back late. I had guests send emails about how the invites were, not only beautiful, but very unique!I highly recommend them to any bride!Laura Rafferty

My Personal Artist made my wedding invitation dreams come true. Michelle designed two beautiful custom motifs I used as a theme throughout our entire wedding. Our wedding invitations were truly one of a kind and we will cherish them forever. My Personal Artist designs are breathtaking and I was honored to have Michelle and James design our Wedding Invitations, Place Setting Cards, Rehearsal Dinner Invitations, Thank You Cards, Wedding Programs, Guest Book and Menu’s. Each piece of stationary was absolutely beautiful made with exceptional quality that took our guests breath away.Working with Michelle and James was a true honor and pleasure. Throughout the months of planning our custom stationary we kept in constant communication. Each piece of stationary met its timeline leaving me feeling very confident in my wedding planning. Michelle and James were wonderful to work with. They were open to my creative ideas and made suggestions which made our custom stationary one of a kind.My Personal Artist is a company I have built a wonderful rapport with and will continue to use in the future for events. Michelle and James put their entire heart into each piece of custom stationary leaving you with an incredible, original piece of artwork you will cherish for a lifetime.Mahalo to my friends at My Personal Artist for making our Wedding Stationary an absolute dream come true. I am looking forward to working with you in the future.

My Personal Artist had made my wedding! Her flexibility with my idea's for my invitations made them just as I wanted them!! They were beautiful and excellent quality and when we came up a few short Michelle was able to get us extra's with in days! Her service is outstanding, pricing fit right in our budget and everything was perfect. I would recommend Michelle for any event! I know she will be the first person I go to for my next one!! Thank you My Personal Artist!

Michelle was wonderful to work with! She was open to my specific design ideas and her art work is beautiful. The service was quick and efficient. The quality of workmanship is outstanding.

My Personal Artist is a wonderful business for those that want to step out of the boundary of traditional wedding stationery. They had exactly the invitations we were looking for our daughter's destination wedding. Service is timely, response to emails prompt but the star of the show is the product itself. The invitations are top quality and drop-deal GORGEOUS! We began receiving compliments immediately. They carry a realm of styles (including custom designs) background colors, ink and fonts as well as every possible accessories. This is our fourth and last child to be married. If we had more, My Personal Artist would be the first place I would return to.

Michelle Mospens is a very talented artist and her invitations are unique and beautiful! All our guests loved our beach theme wedding invitations and they felt very special to recieve such an amazing piece of art for them to keep. Our guests were so excited as most of them framed the invitaton and some uploaded the image online to share with others.We feel very fortunate to have found Michelle's website and we are very happy with our choice of invitations for our wedding celebration!Thank you to all the staff at My Personal Artist for making part of our wedding planning easy, stress-free and full of emotions! Our compliments go out to you!Mr & Mrs Anderlucci, their family and friends

It was a pleasure dealing with "My Personal Artist Unique Invitations". They were very fast and the work was the best I have ever seen.

I purchased Save the Date and my Wedding Invitations through this company. I used the customized invitations and created my own Wedding Invitations, thank you notes, and guest book. Michelle did a wonderful job! I loved my invitations. I also like the option that her company provides of addressing the envelopes. I have noticed that her website has expanded and the options for custom designed invitations has increased.

Michelle is a godsent. We had a family tragedy during the process of planning our wedding and she and James handled it with such grace and sympathy I could not have asked for more. She made what seemed like the worst thing that could happen less of a burden for me, and I will be forever grateful to her for that. Michelle will get all our business from Christmas cards to baby announcements from here on out. I can't stop talking about what wonderful work she does. Her invitations and cards are to die for!!!

THEY ARE THE BEST!!! Guests said what creative, innovative invites! LOVE YOU! THANK YOU!

I wanted something special in the way of invitations for my destination wedding and thought a 'message in a bottle' would be perfect. After searching high and low on the internet and locally, I could not find anything that fit that description or reflected the feeling and tone I wanted to portray. When I found MyPersonalArtist website, I was thrilled to see that I actually COULD get EXACTLY what I had pictured. Well, that isnt true, they bottle invitations on the site were BETTER than I had imagined!! There were several different scenes to choose from and everything I needed to assemble and mail the invitations was available on the site. When I received the finished product, I coud not have been happier. I have received so many compliments on the quality, beauty and creativity of the invitations. They were absolutely gorgeous!!! I would highly recommend MyPersonalArtist to anyone who is looking for a customized feel for their wedding.

Michelle was a pleasure to work with. Her work was unique and one of a kind. My guests are still commenting on our stationary almost 2 years after our wedding! I would recommend her work to anyone.

My wedding invitations, "message in a bottle", were BEAUTIFUL. It was one of the highlights of my wedding. My family and friends still talk about how perfect they were for our beach/cruise wedding at St. Thomas.I would highly recommend Mypersonalartist.com to any bride. This is detailed work that would surpass all your expectations. 5 stars all the way.Thank you Michelle, once again, for all your hard work and adding perfection to my day!!!

Michelle Mospens/My Personal Artist was a dream to work with. From initial contact/ samples all the way through ordering the thank-you notes was flawless. It really took a huge weight/stress off my shoulders as a bride-to-be and the end products were really beautiful.

My wife worked directly with Michelle and overall, we are very happy with the experience.She was selected primarily because of her artistic ability, combined with the use of watercolor painting. Her work is very unique and we found no other company on the web able to match the beauty of her style.We were very pleased with all finished product, and appreciated her input along the way. As a small business, it is best to contact her via telephone with pressing matters/questions; otherwise, e-mail works fine if you do not require an immediate response.We happily recommend My Personal Artist as an excellent source for wedding invitations.

I recently had a pear-themed wedding and after searching for invitations to match our theme, came across the my Personal Artist Website. Our invitations came out beautiful and we received lots of compliments. I feel that they were worth the splurge. We added the hand tied bow and torn edges which added to their beauty. I would have given a perfect 5 if not for 2 minor issues. I actually desired invitations that were designed to be read up and down (similar to the vineyard one) which I originally asked about but was told that I should request an invitation similar to the cruise ship, which is actually read side to side. Second issue being that the adhesive on the envelopes was not great. I ended up with many that opened up in the mail, one guest receiving an empty outer envelope, with an empty reply card mailed back to me, and one guest that did not receive her invitation at all due to the envelopes opening up. Luckily I had some extras and was able to mail my guests replacements. (I did use a sponge to seal them). All in all, I would recommend these invitations for their quality and wow factor, and advise brides to place an envelope seal on their invitations (I wish i had!)

I used My Personal Artist for my wedding invitations. Michelle's artwork was beautiful my casual beach wedding. During the ordering process I had a question. I emailed them using the online contact form, and Michelle herself called me on the next business day to answer all of my questions. I was really impressed with their responsiveness. When the invitations came, they were beautiful. I would highly recommend this company for anyone looking for unique, artistic wedding invitations. These are definitely not cookie cutter invitations!

LOVE LOVE LOVE these invites!!! These were hands down the best choice for our wedding. These really set a great tone right off the bat for all of our guests. The quality was amazing and the design was perfect. I received more compliments than I can even remember!! We could not have had a better vendor for these!We loved them so much that we ordered matching table number signs, as well as placecards and thank yous. The quality was fantastic and it really helped keep our theme. Not to mention it simplified things to just order all that stuff from the same place. Just leave ample time for ordering, as I get the feeling this is a busy company. The invites came in on time, but the thank yous, placecards, and table number cards took a bit longer. Overall everything was perfect!

Beautiful invitations- amazing artist.

We ordered invitations as well as wedding favors from "My Personal Aritist" and I would recommend them to everyone. The service was fantastic and the finished product speaks for itself. I couldn't be happier with the invitations. "My Personal Artist" offered a few things I couldn't find anywhere else. We were able to order scented invitations and scrapbooks that matched them for our wedding favors. Once placing the order online the company contacted me immediately to confirm the order and responded to every email I sent very quickly.I will definitely encourage my friends to use this company for the wedding invitations.

We got SO many compliments on our invitations!!! They fit the theme of our wedding perfectly and they felt like they were made just for us!

The perfect invitations for our destination wedding! And the prices were so reasonable. Highly recommend.

My Personal Artist was exceptional in providing their services. Michelle is a godsend and her work was definately appreciated. Will recommend and will purchase from again in the future.

I can't recall exactly how I found mypersonalartist.com website but I think I googled "beach wedding invitations" and looked at images and saw her starfish with waves invitation and wanted it. I finally settled on the 'message in a bottle' invitation and to date keep seeing in peoples showcases (even the ones who did not make it to the wedding). They keep thinking it is an art piece. Michelle Mospen and her team were a bit hard to reach through phonecalls but were very fast and responsive via email. We expedited our invitations ,all samples and corrections were done really fast and on time. The invitations we ordered did require a lot of assembly but we opted for that option, we could have paid more and had her team take care of it also. Ordering the invitations online were a bit of a chore but once we got the hang of it , it worked out fine.We also ordered our thankyou notes through them and even those arrived really fast. This vendor is by far the most expensive we found for wedding invitations but also very high in demand. They were well worth the money in terms of quality and service.

Michelle Mospen was very nice to work with. She responded to all my inquiries so quickly! The overall look of my invitation was pretty..simple yet pretty. If the paper used had texture, it could have added more WOW character to it. The only thing that I was disappointed with is that you have to pay an extra $45 in order to see the second proof which is very important especially if you made some changes, but for people on a tight budget, $45 is still $45 and is a lot of money just to see the second proof.

I printed Invitations at home so I cannot comment on completed product however paper came in great condition.

I ordered save the dates from my personal artist and things went wonderfully. The STDs were gorgeous, they arrived on time, they were spot on, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. So, of course, we did invitations with My Personal Artist as well. This is where things took an unfortunate turn. We received our proof and then a couple of weeks went by and we heard nothing back. I wrote a couple emails, left a couple of voice mails and still nothing. Finally, I used a different email address (apparently the previous email address was the assistants) and I got a response, but still no answer to any of my questions in previous emails. I finally got ahold of Michelle, who is in charge and bless her heart, she did everything she could think of to try to rectify this situation. (Which of course, I appreciate). *I don't consider this a "bad" review, I consider it an average one.* The cards arrived, much later than anticipated. (We were forced to move the date of the wedding up due to my fiance's work schedule so the cards arrival much later than they were promised was a significant inconvenience.) When the cards did arrive, the date was wrong. I immediately called Michelle and she immediately had correct ones printed up and over-nighted to me (which I very much appreciate). However, this was yet another setback in the sending out of my invitations. Finally the invitations got sent out and not several days later they started to get returned to me. The envelopes were square and required more postage, which I had not been made aware of and was rushing to get it all sent out it didn't even occur to me. To make matters worse, many of the envelopes were not sticking and arrived back to us open, so pieces were missing, some of them were taped up by postal employees and of course they are all stamped with a notice that they require an extra 20 cents and need to be returned to sender. It seems a bit like a waste to have paid for half of my address list to be printed in calligraphy only to not be notified of the special circumstances of the envelopes and have stamps and tape covering them because the glue does not stick. Sigh.I do not feel like this is an everyday occurrence with this company, however, I do feel they should have mentioned that the envelopes needed extra postage and that there should have been better communication, especially considering my repeated attempts at contacting them. And also maybe they should invest in better envelopes that stick properly. The invitations, however, were very well done. They are gorgeous and if none of this had happened, or even if ALL of this had not happened, this would obviously be a review raving about how wonderful the invitations looked. My only advice for purchasing from this vendor is to make sure that you have plenty of time. I fully admit that I should have ordered my invitations slightly earlier, however, like I said, we had to move the date up by two months, I was told they would arrive in 5-10 days and it took at least twice that amount of time. Michelle did as much as she could to rectify the situation, but by the time I was receiving invitations returned to me for insufficient postage (adding even MORE time they were not in the hands of their recipients) I was just literally sick to my stomach. We purchased some stickers to put try to reseal the envelopes without being tacky, but some of them are just hopeless. Michelle did offer me some new envelopes, but things have been so delayed already, I can't wait any longer to try to get these sent out (it's a destination wedding). It's an awful lot of money to spend on envelopes that don't stick, but hopefully my guests will open them up, see how beautiful they are and forget all about the envelopes with the tape or stickers and giant red more postage and return to sender stamps all over them. haha Michelle did give us a discount and did try to make up for the inconvenience, but we will probably find another vendor for the thank you cards.

I am torn on how to review this vendor. I had originally started talking to them in august of 2007, our wedding was april 2008. The designer said she would do our invitations, So we worked on what I wanted. Come time to order, she asked if we could wait about a month. Since I loved the invites so much, I said that was fine. By the end of October, I had to call and email several times to get them to do our invitations. We were only getting the print-at-home set. We finally got them beginning of december. However, no one could print them for us! The cards were too small. I went back and asked what printer they used, and she said to send them back and they would print them for free. Which I told her was not necessary, and we would pay - I don't like feeling like I owe someone something. But she insisted. I sent them back overnight in the middle of december. She said they would be sent out by the next week (they were closing for the holidays after that until 2nd week of january). We ended up only getting the invitation card back before they closed. Middle of january came around and I had to practically beg them to send the rest of our set back. We were also having a 5x7 card made up for our programs, which we paid for, and after we got all our invitations back, she said they would be shipped the next day. Well, after several emails with no response, I gave up. We never received them. Which is why I did not want to get the invites printed for free! We never heard from them again. The invitations were beautiful; I just think this small company takes on way more work than it can handle.

I admit, due to my location, I was a bit difficult to work with. I live and work in South Korea. Email tends to be the best way to communicate because phone calls are harder for me to make due to the time difference. Michelle was really hard to deal with though. She had her office hours posted on her website, and every time I called it would go straight to the answering service. I set up an appointment via email to talk, and she did not answer when I called. She sent me an email shortly after I called telling me she was moving a bit slow that morning and to try again. I called her again and it sounded like she had just gotten out of bed. I tried constantly to phone her and email her and got extremely slow responses. I waited 11 days for a response - with numerous emails sent and phone calls made during this time. I find this extremely unprofessional. In the end, her husband saved the day. Every time I emailed him, he was back to me within 24 hours. He was great to work with. All-in-all, I would not recommend My Personal Artist. While the invitations were GORGEOUS, it was not worth the stress, time and money I had to put into it.

"THEY ARE THE BEST!!! Guests said what creative, innovative invites! LOVE YOU! THANK YOU!" {celebrity wedding!!!}

"Michelle, thank you so much for your thoughts and wishes. Everything came out beautiful. We truly couldn't of asked for more. Once on the island, everyone kept telling us how they loved our invites, specifically after they saw the lighthouse across the harbour."

"Michelle- I just wanted to give you a big THANK YOU. I sent out my wedding invitations the other day. The responses from my guests has been wonderful. Many of my guests have called or emailed me to tell me these are the most beautiful wedding invitations they have ever received. I will definitely recommend you to other brides.

Have a great weekend!"

"Michelle, I came across your website long before I had started to plan my wedding, or had even gotten engaged. Your beautiful custom artistry, close attention to detail and unique work is unparalleled. When we got engaged, I couldn’t wait to start planning and knew that I was going to use My Personal Artist for our invitations.

We decided there was nothing we’d love more than to get married at a place we have great love for, Jamaica! The Starfish Paradise invitations were a perfect match for our beach theme and brown & teal color scheme. ... We ordered our “boarding pass” Save the Date cards, Starfish Paradise invitations with Pocketfolders, Table Number cards, Welcome Notes for all of our welcome bags, Wedding Programs, Seating Cards, and thank you notes! Each time a package came from My Personal Artist I was so excited and even more ecstatic upon seeing the final product!

Guests are still talking about them 6 months later!! They were absolutely perfect- truly a work of art and such a huge part of our special day. Thank you again!"

"Stationery - My Personal Artist - A+ :: Michelle is awesome! She is more talented than I could ever dream of! I ordered my save the dates, invites, programs, petal bag tags, place cards, menu cards, table cards and thank you cards from My Personal Artist. Her design was perfect for our wedding. I received more compliments on her work than I can count."
