Reviews for Not From a Box Invitations
Our invitations came out great and everyone loved them. The only reason they get this grade is because they took a very long time to send them... months after I ordered did someone get intouch with me about approving a proof, only after I e-mailed several times. The mailing date was also delayed because they were gonna be "out of the office". I had to reorder reception cards because my location changed names in the middle of my planning and the other ones they sent me were different, the writing was bolded, after complaining that they did not look the same she said that nothing would print exactly the same. No one noticed but us, but it still bothered me.
The ladies at Not from a Box created an artful invitation that is custom quality without the custom price. Their method is awesome with all of the different styles and designs to choose from - sort of mix and match. It's overwhelming at first when you see all the choices, but they are also very helpful and give you suggestions and are just delightful to work with! They are very responsive, getting back to you quickly with answers to questions, recommendations for designs and final proofs. Everyone commented and loved the invitations. And Not From A Box does so much more - name cards, programs, menus, etc. I'm so lucky to have found them!
We loved our invites. They coordinated so beautifully with our wedding colors – pinks, reds, and whites, and they made matching Thank You notes, and place cards also! We received many compliments on our invitations, and the girls at www.notfromabox.com were great to work with. They sent me many online proofs until I was satisfied with the results. Quality card stock. Shipped promptly, just as they promised. Highly recommended.
I would highly recommend Not From A Box. I could not be happier with the invitations. Britta and Amy helped with some creative ideas and were very responsive. After I picked up the invitations, I ordered cardstock that matched the invitations. To my surprise, they gave me the cardstock for FREE!!! What a nice gesture!
Heather was wonderful to work with, easy to get in touch with, and the invitations were beautiful!
I really loved our beautiful invitations! They were beautiful and so hard to decide which ones to order from their abundant only variety. Their prices were also great.
We got our save-the-dates, invitations, placecards, menus and programs from them and they are wonderful! I loved working with Amy and Brita. They were so patient with me while I kept changing and revising designs and wording until I was 100% happy. They are really creative and helpful and it’s really a bargain for what you get. I will definitely be ordering all of my paper needs from them in the future.
I have worked with Amy, on literally, hundreds of invitations. I trust her knowledge, and she gets my design aesthetic entirely!! I couldn't do what i do without Not from A Box!!

Get Inspired: Exotic handmade papers
The Pocket invitation is one of our most popular styles for wedding and party invitations, so we love when clients are open to mixing in unique color and paper combinations. Ari and Allan’s antique gold pocket invitation for their December wedding is accented with a crinkled, hand-marbled paper from Thailand.
Thank you Staci with Unique Event Design for the opportunity to work with such creative clients!

Real Wedding: Coral & Neil, September 2009
We had so much fun designing “upscale tropical” invitations and accessories for this beautiful wedding. This event was also particularly special to me for several reasons. First, Neil and Coral got married on my birthday. Second, I was able to indulge in one of my absolute favorite pasttimes…collecting seashells. We used real scallop seashells on their table number cards and “Mr.” and “Mrs.” chair hangtags. I couldn’t bring myself to go to a store and buy the seashells, as my step-mother (a longtime beach resident) reminded me, “That’s cheating.” So, my family and I spent several sun-soaked days at the beach collecting the perfect seashells for their cards.
And third, I absolutely LOVED their cake!
The vendors that made this wedding fabulous were:
Venue: The Don CeSar Resort & Spa
Event Planner: Shannon Wilson, Table 6 Productions
Photography: Aaron Lockwood Photography
Stationery: yours truly, Not From a Box
Florals: Redman Steele
Photobooth: ShutterBooth Tampa
Ceremony Music: Breezin Entertainment
Wedding Cake: The Don CeSar
Thank you Aaron for capturing this wedding so beautifully, and to Shannon for the opportunity to work with such a great couple. Enjoy!! I sure did…

Real Wedding: Mary & Gilberto 04.17.09
File this under ‘better late than never’
This beautiful wedding took place at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Brooklyn, New York. The reception was held at Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury, New York. Mary’s bi-lingual pocket invitations were in chocolate brown, fairway green and ivory. We also designed matching escort cards and favor tags. These photos are courtesy of Duet Photography of Long Island and Manhattan.
I especially love Mary’s unique idea for displaying the escort cards.
What a beautiful day. Congratulations Mary and Gilberto!

A very happy bride: Melissa in Booklyn NY
We received the nicest, heartfelt letter from a wedding client on Monday. What a great way to start the week!
Dear Britta,
I cannot express how grateful I am that I found your company. I had told family and friends that I had found Not From a Box, an online site that sold invitations. Several people kept trying to convince me that this was not the way to go. However, once I ordered the invitation sample (which came in two days!) I knew the invitations were exactly what I wanted and had decided that I was going to use Not From a Box despite their comments.
And I definitely made the correct decision! I have nothing but the best to say about your company. Every step of the process from picking out my invitations, to ordering them, to adapting the proofs, and even the dramatic moment where I needed emergency envelopes ASAP, went smoothly. You and your staff were helpful and supportive of all of the different aspects of my planning and neurotic attention to detail.
I have gotten so many compliments on my invitations for their simple, yet classy and sophisticated look. The main reason I received those compliments is because of the quality of the invitations and devotion that your staff puts into each and every order. I cannot say enough about how lucky I was to stumble across your web-site and how pleased I am with every aspect of my order from the invitations, menus, and favor stickers. Thank you so much and I will highly recommend you to many friends and relatives!
Melissa
