Not from a Box

We used Not From a Box for invitations, ceremony programs, menu cards, escort cards, and cupcake guides. We initially were only going to get invitations and do everything else on our own but the work was so beautiful they earned more business from us. Our invitations were about $7/per, but that included the assembled invitation plus addressing all (invite and return) the envelopes. Wedding Paper Divas would have been about $10+/per for all that. It really was a great value and SO MANY MORE OPTIONS. The ceremony programs were beautiful and the reception stationary really completed our tables. I am so happy we went with them and I highly recommend them.

My planner introduced me to this company and I couldn't have been happier! We went through so many different revisions and there was a lot of back and forth until it was just perfect. Britta Spanke really listened to me and made changes immediately. I received countless compliments on how gorgeous the invitations looked and I thought they were worth it! I think the invitation sets the stage for how your guests perceive your wedding and Britta did a great job designing something one of a kind and spectacular, just like our wedding!

Amy and Britta are AMAZING!!! I highly recommend the for any stationary you may need for your wedding, or party. I used them for my wedding for everything from the invitations to the menus. Everything was absolutely beautiful and I couldn't have asked for more.

Thank you so much!

After spending months searching online for my dream invitation and not coming across anything, a friend recommended that I check out Not from a Box. This was the best advice! Amy designed the most beautiful invitation for me and it was better than anything I could have imagined, plus it was for a very reasonable price. I also used Not from a Box for my ceremony programs, menu cards, table cards and escort cards and everything turned out beautifully! I have received so many compliments from my guests about all of the stationery we used.

We loved Not From A Box. They created some very personalized, original invitations that matched our style and our budget. Amy and Britta were very easy to work with, but be ready for lots of emailing! We probably exchanged 60 emails to get everything just right... and they were cheerful and accommodating the whole time. I suspect we could have cut back on the emailing by meeting in person more, but I preferred online communication. Either way, we were thrilled with our invitations and our Not From A Box experience.

I absolutely loved my invitations. They were pocketfold style. Stayed within my budget, got to DIY some of it to save money- which they made so easy for us. Many comments from guests how beautiful the invites were- and a reflection of the wedding we were yet to have. Perfect.

I was so happy with my invitations!!! Lots of compliments!!! They were very responsive and flexible and I was very pleased with the end result. I thought the cost was the same if I had DIY'd them and they did a much better job than I could have.

I loved my invitations! They were so unique and beautiful!

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!!!!! I was referred to Not From a Box by Wendy at the Hilton Carillon Park and my sister-in-law. I honestly was blown away by my invitations. They are very easy to work with and professional. I was actually shocked when I signed on to do this review and my invitations are the main picture!! I swear every single guest made a comment about how gorgeous our invitations were. They turned out so beautiful and even though they were a little more than other invitations I found online they were WELL worth the price!!!! The quality is amazing and I can not say enough wonderful things about them!!!!!!

The folks at notfromabox.com know their business. They have so much to choose from that it can be difficult to make a decision. That is where their expertise comes into play. Just call them up, and they will help in any way possible. Out invitations turned out wonderfully. They were exactly what we wanted, and at a very reasonable price. They also printed our thank you cards, place cards and programs. When we were looking for personalized cocktail napkins, they suggested a partner they work with, who also did a great job. They sent over the art that we wanted, and made the whole process easy! They also made every change we asked them to, which alone makes them the best!

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 creative and give you suggestions and are just delightful to work with! Everyone commented and loved the invitations. And they do so much more - name cards, programs, menus, etc. I'm so happy to have found them!

Not From a Box did a fantastic job on our printing needs. They did our invitations, programs, and place cards. Their unique style gave everything the customized look we wanted. They delivered everything on-time and on-budget! Thank you!

We fell in love with pocket fold invitations. While we saw some we loved at Paper Affair, they were a little on the expensive side. That's when I found www.notfromabox.com. They have a great selection of pocket folds that you can customize at a very reasonable price. It will be nice keeping all of our inserts in a little pocket, so they don't fall out when the invites are opened. Everyone at Notfromabox.com has been amazing with all of our questions. We are so very pleased with the final product. The weight of the pocket fold is very heavy and has a great texture. And our inserts look fabulous! They did a wonderful job. Customer service was an A+.

Not From A Box Inc. was the most professional and confident company I used throughout our whole wedding planning process! They were very quick in responding to my questions and quite friendly and helpful everytime.

I have nothing but praise for this company; I had searched high and low for a invitation company that would be able to use our customized logo without hassel and were in our budget, and they were the ones that did the job perfectly, we are SO glad we used Not From A Box!

Their proofing process was easy and painless and really helped me get a sense of how truly beautiful their work would be. When we recieved the invitations they were flawless and as perfect as we imagined!

I was searching for months to find inexpensive invitations that did not look cheap and Not From a Box had exactly what I was looking for. We received so many compliments on our invitations. Amy and Britta were so helpful and responsive and the turn-around time was really quick. I was so happy to have such great looking invitations with heavy cardstock and thermography printing without having to pay a small fortune.

Not From A Box was of such high quality. My invitations were absolutely perfect!

I felt a little nervous ordering my invitations online, but I definitely felt like I was working with real people throughout the process of designing and ordering my invitations. After I ordered some proofs and then selected the style and colors, I was given someone to email with that emailed me a proof of what I'd ordered, and then worked with me to edit and change things, till it was exactly what I wanted! When I didn't receive an email confirmation that my order was sent, I was able to call them and they were completely friendly, helpful and responsive. Their special sales also helped make this the most affordable option I found, too!

They were the most amazing invitations, programs and they did such a great job working with me in a short period of time. I will use them for everything forever!

Can't say enough about Britta at notfromabox.com - she was responsive and helped me get my invitations done in a timely manner (since I dragged my feet making a decision on them and ended up working against the clock). The quality of the invitations and menus I got from notfromabox.com was exceptional and the price couldn't be beat! I recommend them every chance I get!

I absolutely loved working with Britta and Heather at Notfromabox.com - my invitiations were GORGEOUS and totally affordable comparatively. I loved their work so much, I've used them on several other occasions since for baby shower invitations and thank you cards. I will continue to use them for all of my stationary needs.

they created invites that looked liked they cost a million dollars! Seriously, my invites were very lux at a more budget friendly price. So easy to work with. Highly recommend!

Great deal on invitations. We crafted my invitations from scratch. They were very easy to work with on all the revisions. Finished product came through very quickly.

Not from a box was very reasonably priced. They were easy to work with. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for elegant high quality invites at a good price

They did an amazing job and a great price! They will make what you want come alive!

My invitation process was super simple! I loved the end product...especially the price! They looked great and didn't break the bank!

They provided me with my invitations, seating cards and table numbers. All I can say is WOW! My invitations were amazing. Very elegant and classy. They made a very stressful decision so easy. Amy and Brita were amazing. They were very fast with responding to my emails and providing me with sample designs. We have received many phone calls about our invitations and friends and family from out of state are using there services. Their designs and services are definitely worth every penny.

Working with Amy on my invitations, programs and all wedding day paper items was a terrific experience! We got exactly the invitations we were looking for and loved that all of the paper items matched the style of our invitations. Everything looked perfectly coordinated, and I was very happy with the end result. Several people told me that our invitations were the most beautiful that they'd ever seen, and I have to agree with them. Amy and her team did a great job. The only downside I saw was that Amy is only available to meet during weekdays and only mid-day. As a working professional, it's very hard to get away from work to make those appointments, but I managed to make it to her office when necessary.

Not from a box did a great job on our invitations! We got alot of compliments on how great they were. They also did our menus, programs and out escort cards and everything was just beautiful! Great value too!!

I ordered invitations from Not from A Box in St. Pete. Britta and Amy were very nice and easy to work with. Our wedding invitations, programs and seating chart were so beautiful! We got a ton of compliments! The only thing that I didnt like was that the day before the wedding, we were folding our programs and found some that weren't printed correctly. Luckily, Britta and Amy printed new ones that same day for me but it was pretty stressful with everything else going on.

The wedding invitations were very unique. Our guests raved and asked where we bought them at the reception. The sand dollar table cards and round menu cards with Swarovski crystal embellishments were so beautiful. Much appreciation to Britta, Amy and team for guiding us through the process with our wedding planner, Alluring Events.

I would definitely recommend this vendor to any bride looking for beautiful and creative invitations.

We had a great experience with Not From A Box. While I initially found them online, I live in the area, so was able to meet with Amy and Britta in person to go over ideas and choose colors. They helped us to create a custom invitation that wowed our guests. We received endless compliments on the creative and elegant invitation. Amy was very patient as we made a few changes to the design, and the final outcome was lovely. We let them assemble and send everything for us, which was worth the cost. We loved their calligrapher, and his work was outstanding and reasonable based on other research I did. The post office lost a few invitations and Britta was able to assemble some extras at the last minute to make sure everyone on our list finally received them. My only advice is that you should plan to send invitations a bit earlier than you would think, as you can't track first class mail through the post office, and we only knew that people had not received theirs because they responded to other events for the weekend, but not the wedding! Again, luckily, Not From A Box could help us through this little glitch. We appreciate all of your hard work on our behalf, and we highly recommend this professional team! Thanks for the thank you cards, too!

I LOVED our invitations. They were beautiful. We spent more than we wanted to but they were really pretty.

I didn't really have a specific idea of what I wanted in an invitation it was more that I knew what I didn't want. I didn't want most of what I saw in the catologs. The girls at Not from a Box made the process of designing and invite relatively painless (especially considering I can be rather indecisive). I live right aroungd the corner and the whole thing was designed in a short meeting. The rest was fairly easy to do online. you do have to be very careful going over your proofs. I missed a few things that hopefull everyone else missed too but that was my fault. I would definetly recommend having them address the envelopes for you. It looks so much nicer and I know I would have had to trash quite a few due to mistakes if I had done it by hand and definetly worht the time saved. I stuffed and stamped them with my mom which mad for a nice afternoon... I got nothing but wonderful compliments about the invites. My pastor got one and he was speechless ....he thought they were beautiful and said he had never seen anything like them. My only complaint is that at times they were very difficult to get a hold of in any form. I would try e-mail and phone for a week and get no response then all of the sudden communication would begin again free-flowing. I'm not sure what that was about but it never affected a deadline so for me all tuned out well.
I would use them again for sure.

Britta & I worked on putting together our wedding invitations for over a year. She was very helpful in giving us ideas, as well as being able to see our vision & follow through with it. The invitations turned out beautiful, we couldn't be more excited for our guests to see them!

Thank you so much!
Alexis & Paul

Amy and Britta were good to work with - very flexible and open-minded when it came to ideas and creating our invitations. They came out pretty nice - not really mind-blowing, but we didn't want to spend too much on this area of our wedding budget since people toss it out after first seeing it and sending in the RSVP. Our only gripe was that it took longer than expected....we ended up sending out our invitations 1-2 weeks later than we planned.

Overall I was happy with the outcome of my invitations. I love that you can custom design your invitations with your colors and ideas, and the price is pretty reasonable compared to other custom companies. We hit a few bumps in the road and my invitations took much longer than originally estimated, and when they arrived we were missing about 20. This caused us to send them out late and gave people less time to RSVP. It worked out fine in the end but it did cause a little stress for us at the time. They were apologetic and they fixed the problems, so I do believe that they try to take care of their customers. Even though we had those little problems, I would still recommend them to others.

The pocketfold invitations arrived exactly as I saw them online. I thought the printed card in center was cut a little off but I might have just been looking too hard. It kinda of looked like something I could have taken to Kinkos and printed myself, but I am happy overall with the invitations.

We loved our invitations and all of the stationary that Not from a Box provided. The only issue we had was a lack of communication from them the week before the wedding...A little nerve racking for me. However, the quality and style of the products we ordered were excellent and a very good value.

Amy and Britta designed and printed the invitation of my dreams for me. They started from scratch with a creative idea I had and made it come to life. Though sometimes hard to get ahold of, they created a quality product for me that I have received COUNTLESS compliments on. Definitely live up to their name of "Not from a Box".

This was a great addition to my wedding. The invitations were handmade and unique--- everybody loved the invitations--- They also made my table cards and escort cards. The business is first class-- although you must pay close attention during the editing phase to make sure all of your changes are incorporated. Otherwise- Customer Service is awesome.

I was very pleased with my invitations. Was shorted a few inner envelopes and they overnighted them to me so I had them on time.

I loved the way my invitations turned out. We got several compliments on them. It really helped me in the wedding planning process that I could work with them strictly through their www and by e-mail. I like the fact that they send proofs through e-mail and we were allowed to change certain things and get corrected proofs. They were very easy to work with since I was able to do everything when I got a free minute.

Not From a Box, has a great selection and was very reasonably priced. I was not terribly concerned with having the best invitations, but I wanted something original, which they definitely offered. They will also mail your invitiations for the price of the stamps plus a very small amount which helps if you are running short on time. They also helped me pick an invitation that would not be very expensive to mail.

Their response time via email was not terribly quick which lengthened my proof to final timeline.

This company has a great selection of unique invitations. They were able to deliver exactly the invitation my daughter had wanted and within the budgetary constraints. The 20% for black ink is a great deal!! The invitations were perfect - eventually. It was a painful process though with many errors made and you have to be very detailed oriented when reviewing your proof. I think at the end they might have lost money on our order.

While I liked the invitations and accessories that I purchased from Notfromabox.com, I was not really satisfied with the customer service. I receieved the invitations on time with no problems but the accessories were another story. The paper color I chose was discontinued and rather then telling me this they lied to me until they found more paper. I did not receieve the final shipment of programs until 4 days before my wedding. Working with not from a box turned out to be very stressful and I would recommend avoiding that stress if possible. I would NOT recommend this vendor!

Definitely not worth the hassle. While the stationary ultimately looked nice, getting there was painful and our overall experience was awful. Amy and her staff’s communication from the beginning to the end was atrocious. The attention to detail was even worse. Invitation and program content we spent hours to make sure it was perfect and we provided to Amy in the format requested, was often lost or words would somehow become misspelled in the proofs we received. In addition Amy’s advice on etiquette was often incorrect. Our experience began when the initial run of our invitation envelopes did not match the proof we approved (font was different and the tops and bottoms of letters were cut off). Amy was short an curt dealing with us when asking to have them reprinted. When they were reprinted and reshipped, some of the envelopes we received were a different style and color requiring yet another printing run to finally get it right. A shocking lack of attention to detail and beyond frustrating.

Feeling stuck with Not From a Box given we wanted our day of pieces to match our invitation, we hoped the worst was behind us and gave them a second chance. However, the terrible communication and lack of attention to detail only continued. I would send Amy a detailed bulleted list of edits/fixes to proofs only to receive an updated proof with only some of the edits completed. To make it worse, our coordinator picked up the day of pieces on the Friday before our wedding to find them unassembled and unfolded, services which we had paid handsomely for. Our coordinator spent Friday night organizing and folding our day of stationary.

Upon returning from our honeymoon we reiterated this exact feedback, which Amy heard throughout the process, giving Amy an opportunity and a final chance to respond to our feedback. Based on her response it was crystal clear she couldn’t care less and had no desire in rectifying the situation. I would never recommend Not from A Box.

Awesomeness!!!!

Confetti Events loves Not From A Box! They are a true pleasure to work with and produce amazing invitations!

Abbie and I were recently blown away by the work of Not from a Box! They made the bride's vision come to life with their unique and creative ideas. You will love what they do!

We love Not from a Box! They have such a creative eye in what they do -- Perfect quality and great customer service. We highly recommend them!!

Amy and Greta are awesome chics! I can say that they are on target and very willing to help out their clients. With great attitudes and great abilities, you can find just about anything you are looking for through them.

I was fortunate enough to have one of my brides introduce me to Amy and the Not from a Box team. And what a dream come true for me. I called Amy immediately and said "Where have you been the last three years of my life...!!!???!" And so my fairy tale with Not from a Box began. NFAB has been a valuable vendor partner to my business, from designing last minute menu cards for a dinner party, to rescuing me with an emergency business card that saved a client of mine, to creating spectacular invitations for my celebrity clients and brides, she is a invaluable asset to me, and provides that ever so important "first impression" for my events that can't be matched. Thank you Not from a Box, for being an integral part of my successful events!

This is fantastic design inspired by passion. Imagine what your passion will look like!!!

If you want something truly creative and unique for your wedding definitely call Amy and Britta.

Your guests will be amazed at the unique and amazing creations that Not from a Box will design for your special event!

Not From a Box has become the only invitation company I want to work with. I have come to them with some pretty far out ideas for clients and Amy and Britta have never turned me down. They have worked with me and my clients every step of the way (and in some cases giving us better ideas of a way to reach our goal) to create some outstanding pieces for everything from Save the Dates and Invitations to Welcome Bag brochures and Family Cookbooks!

As I've said before, NFAB rocks!! :)

what a pleasure to see all the endless choices of beautiful,smart and interesting invitations- all custom designed. amazing quality and service, two very talented ladies that know how to make it really a special and one-of-a-kind invitation.
