Reviews for Inspired Pear
GUEST
My fiancee and I began our search for invitations first by visiting a large store that had at least 50+ books of different designs/styles. After finding many that we liked, my fiancee questioned if we should cancel the meeting with Ioana of Inspired Pear, because how much different could it be?And then she came over with one book of designs and we definitely knew we were going to go with them. Probably the number one reason we choose them was the absolute flexibility with the design. Things could be changed/modified/added/personally created to look exactly how you want it to - it's not a formulaic invitation from a book. We looked through her samples, pointed out things we liked, and she sent us at least 5 or 6 ideas combining those elements. I took the layout of one, the background design of another, the enclosure cards of another, the format of one, and the font styling of another, and we came up with a design we loved! We had the actual invite foil stamped - which came out amazing with white ink on brown metallic paper as opposed to the more traditional dark ink on light paper. Ioana & Jessica even designed a very cool "seal" for our invite (which we also used on the envelope stamp) with a picture of the US Capitol (which we live 2 blocks from) and our names and wedding date. Totally custom and cool!Our friends and family RAVED about the invitations. Even my brother, who probably wouldn't have noticed if it was scrawled on a napkin mentioned how cool he thought they were. Even friends of my friends who saw our invite on someone's fridge or on their bullentin boards commented to our friends on how beautiful and fun they were (who then told us!)Not to mention that after we finalized a proof, I think we had the invites in our hands maybe 6 weeks or less later? And not just in our hands but enclosure cards stuffed, envelopes stuffed, addresses printed, and even stamped! All I had to do was lick them closed - and, as we subsequently added guests to send invites to after our initial batch, they even would do that for me. I would just email Ioana, can we please send one more invite to Mr. and Mrs. Smith and she would print the address on the envelopes she had kept, stuff it, seal it, stamp it, and send it for me!We also had them design multiple other elements for us - placecards, table number cards, signature cocktail tent cards, stickers for the welcome bags, and thank you notes. A total breeze to do and then everything coordinated - we were able to carry all the colors and design themes through everything. I just sent them lists for the placecards, table number cards, stickers, and addresses to print on the thank you notes (a total time saver so I don't have to address each one myself!) and everything came back beautifully.Of course, I had screwed up a few names that I caught once they were printed - not a problem, Ioana fixed them for us and I picked them up from her a day or two later.Ioana and Jessica always timely responded to emails and we had no problem communicating requests/changes/additions.I was at first worried about the cost, thinking that having your own invite designer would be extraordinarily expensive, but really, compared to any of the large invite stores offering invites through companies it was about the same price. For the flexibility and the "make your own design" aspects it was totally worth it.

Jess and Ioana are fantastic. My invitations turned out so perfect. They ask questions about your style, color preferences, and wording and send you soo many great options to choose from. Inspired Pear is prompt with deadlines and flexible in adapting anything to suit your desires. They did such a fantastic job and assembled all of my invitations (a huge time saver when planning a wedding). I received so many phone calls and emails saying how beautiful the invitations were that I ordered my Thank You Notes, Table Numbers and Programs with Inspired Pear too!! I would definitely recommend to every bride!!

The paper products that the Inspired Pear team created for our wedding were simply perfect. We worked with Ioana and Jessica at Inspired Pear on all of the paper products for our wedding - save-the-dates, invitations, escort cards, programs, menus, directional signs, etc. Their creativity, talent, flexibility, and attention to detail is amazing. It was clear from the very first concepts they developed for our products that they really listened our "vision" for our wedding and what we wanted to communicate via our save-the-dates and invitations. We discussed with them the fuzzy vision for our wedding and our preferred color scheme, and from that they created beautiful and unique products that set the tone for our entire wedding. I would use their services again in a heartbeat and am confident they will exceed your expectations.

Working with Inspired Pear was wonderful. They were so helpful in creating the vision I had in my head and putting it all together in one of the most unique wedding invitations I have ever seen! I still receive compliments on the creativity...the personal pictures they were able to incorporate at the last minute were a HUGE hit! I still get compliments today!

Jessica was a "joi" to work with!!! I had a vision, but she truly made it come to life! From the custom illustration, to the adorable map/information card, to the cute seal that closed the Pocketfold, all were perfect and exactly what I wanted. My family and friends loved them! She was super easy to work with and very creative! I really enjoyed working with her and was thrilled with the final product. Thanks Jessica!

Jessica is a great designer with amazing ideas and talent. She designed a great game booklet for our guests to play in the car as they drove from the church to the reception, which was an hour ride. All our guests loved them and even kept them. We highly recommend her if you want unique, original, and beautiful wedding stationery.

Jessica was a true joy to work with. My husband and I were so very pleased with our invitations, programs and thank you notes. We had an unusual request for them and Jessica was able to incorporate it and make it look absolutely beautiful. Our family and friends are still talking about our invitations. She was also extremely helpful when I had a brief break down on the day of the wedding and couldn't find about 20 of the place cards, she was able to reprint them all and have them ready before the wedding began...all while sick and the day after thanksgiving when everyone is in a turkey coma! I highly recommend working with her.
My friend owns Inspired Pear, and working with her was phenomenal! Inspired Pear is a terrific vendor. Ioana was extremely patient—she listened to me describe my desired overall “feel” and “look” of our wedding and designed our save-the-dates, invites, programs, etc. to perfectly fit the look we waned. Ioana is receptive to constructive criticism and tweaks throughout the design and editing, as she truly aims to give her clients products that are “theirs” and that they love. She did a fabulous job with everything, but especially with our invites. Once they hit the mail, we got phone call after phone call and compliment after compliment. People had never seen such beautiful work. Her creative way really stole the show at our wedding!

It was a great pleasure to work with NjoiDesigns! The designer worked closely with us to make sure we got the design that we wanted and everything was completed in the time frame we needed. The quality of her work is amazing and I can't tell you how many compliments I received for everything she worked on (Save the Dates, Invitations, Parking Passes & Programs). I would definitely recommend Njoi for anyone looking for a personalized experience and quality work.
