Larissa is fantastic to work with. She made our custom, save-the-date, invitations, place-cards, table cards, favor tags, and note tent cards for the disposable cameras we had on each table for our wedding, and they were all beautiful and done so well. She sent us samples of the cards, gave us ideas with various paper choices well in advance of our wedding and also had everything shipped in plenty time for our big day. The service she provides is bar-none the best… Her quality of work is excellent with very reasonable prices. I would recommend Larissa services to any bride for her wedding needs. Larissa – I look forward to working with you in the future.

She was great! This was the second wedding she helped with (first my brothers, then mine) and I would recommend her to anyone looking for creative and fun wedding invites!

I had an excellent experience working with Larissa. She made custom theme placecards and table cards for our wedding, and they were beautiful. Working from across the country, she sent us samples of the cards with various paper choices well in advance of our wedding, and had everything shipped to us in plenty of time for our big day. She provided good quality work at very reasonable prices. I would highly recommend Larissa's services to any bride for her wedding paper needs!

During my wedding planning, people often told me not to spend a lot of time on the invitations--after all, the guests just throw them away, right? With Papercake Designs, you can be rest-assured that they won't. I have gotten so many compliments on my invitations and know it's a keeper. I loved the invitations Larissa made for me so much, I seriously felt a twinge of sadness every time I sent them out! When I was down to my last ones, I seriously thought about saying "No," to my parents when they wanted to invite last minute guests, just so I could keep a few more! My coordinator Uyen of Sassy Girl Weddings put it best: "Custom invitations for non-custom price." I knew I didn't want something generic, but i didn't want to break the bank either. Because my invitations had to be bilingual, I felt constrained to sticking with the Chinese invitation shops but didn't find anything that wowed me. Having Larissa do bilingual is no problem--just find a template online or have someone you know write it out and give it to her as a pdf. She also made me custom table number/menu cards which added so much beauty and completeness to the theme. Brides who do not live in the Bay Area--not a problem. Truthfully, other than our first meeting,most of our design collaboration was done over email, and she gives you a lot of great visuals to work with. It doesn't hurt that she has the most positive energy and is the nicest person ever.

Larissa of Papercake Designs was an absolute pleasure to work with. My fabulous wedding planner, Uyen of Sassy Girl Weddings, recommended her to us to take care of all our wedding stationery needs and I am so glad she did. Larissa is definitely fun and creative, but I found her flexibility and quality of service to be her strongest points. With Larissa, you'll have tons of options from which to create the most perfect Save the Date card, invitations, escort cards, table tents, etc. And with your input and Larissa's creative/design skills, you are guaranteed a truly unique, custom, flawless product.I remember receiving the box of invitations in the mail. I had seen a proof of it online and loved it, but when the actual invitations arrived, I was even more impressed! Larissa was really able to work with the idea presented to her, and she was able to do that with our budget and timeline in mind. She is truly a professional and I would ask for her services again in the future.Thank you Larissa for helping to make my wedding beautiful!

I felt I needed more numbers to rate Larissa's service. I must say I fully recommend Papercakedesigns.When planning my wedding invitations I basically took a very systematic approach looking at lots of websites and vendors and everything.... and then I found Larissa's amazing website. I had no doubt this was going to be it. I liked the fact that she has a blog where you can see what the "Real" fruit of her services has produced. It was clear that besides the products looking good there was something very positive about dealing with her. So I went ahead. Our wedding was in Spain and it was in three languages. I loved one of the designs Larissa had in her site and sent her an email asking if she would be ok with us discussing a variation on that one to accommodate our requirements. I was delighted to receive a very quick answer. Larissa proposed to meet and accommodated to my not-so-easy time schedule. Moreover, she suggested to make my future husband participate (something I hadn't thought of) and he was delighted. In the end between Larissa and my fiance, they created one of the most perfect invites I've ever seen. For us, it matched perfectly the way we are and the way we see things and people were very complimentary of the invites. Larissa is a gentle, creative, smart, adaptable and very efficient artist/businesswoman. She is fast without making quality suffer for that and she adapts to budgets and expectations in a way that I have not experienced with many other vendors before. I cannot praise her work more and I fully recommend her services as a vendor.

After spending months trolling the internet (weddingpaperdivas.com, etc) for wedding invitations, I couldn’t find anything that fit my needs. In addition to not loving the pre-made designs, I needed a custom size. Thankfully, I found Larissa at Papercake!Larissa met with my fiancé and I to discuss what we were looking for and the colors we needed. She completely nailed it. We got invitations, reply cards, enclosure cards, and maps. We later had her create programs, menus, and table name signs. Larissa was able to create completely custom invitations at a reasonable price. So many of the custom designers only do letterpress. As beautiful as that is – that wasn’t how I wanted to spend my money. I am so happy I found Papercake and will definitely use her for all future invitation/printing needs.

Papercake Designs with Larissa behind the wheel is awesome. Her work is beautiful and her prices are very reasonable. I couldn't have been happier. Larissa made it a easy process while doing it online. I really appreciated how prompt she was with responding to emails, letting us know how the project was going and how quickly she worked. She really seems to connect with her clients, which is what you would want!! I will use her services again and I would totally, totally recommend her to anybody and everyone. Thanks Larissa, for making the process easy and enjoyable. I was so excited to see your work in person and it even motivated us to do our own DIY projects. Which of course we had to show you our handiwork! Cheers! We will see you again!

Larissa is wonderful! She did our invitations, place cards, and table cards, and they all came out beautiful. We were able to customize everything 100%, but Larissa has a definite aptitude for design and really made everything look great. Not to mention her prices are EXTREMELY reasonable, especially in comparison to any other custom work we were able to find. If I could do it over again I would have used her for even more. Papercake Designs was one of our best wedding decisions.

Larissa created our custom invites, table numbers, menus, escort and thank you cards. They all turned out beautifully. She worked quickly to meet our deadlines and delivered exactly what we asked for. She came highly recommended by our wedding planner (Sassy Girl - Uyen) and deservedly so. We couldn't be happier with Larissa.

Larissa at Papercake Designs is an absolute lifesaver for the DIY bride. I found her on Etsy and had her design a wedding map for my wedding invitations. I provided her with a picture of our invitations, our color scheme and a few ideas and she went to work. A day or two later I received a digital file proof via email and I knew instantly I was working with the right person. She far exceeded my expectations. Following that project Larissa created our Menus, Table Numbers and Programs. She was able to create a cohesive theme to our wedding and really provide me with some good direction on where to buy the cardstock, what size to buy and even helped with telling me exactly what I needed to tell the local printer doing the print job for me. You can tell she really enjoys what she does and it was a pleasure working with her. Every bride should have someone like Larissa in their back pocket!

Papercake Designs is amazing! Larissa was so easy and fun to work with and very talented and creative. We did everything over e-mail which was great for a busy bride like myself and she was so quick with her responses. We wanted to add a personal touch to our wedding but wanted it to look polished and what Larissa came up with was better then we could of ask for. My husband is a chemist so we titled our tables after the elements on the periodic table. Larissa came up with the cutest table tags and escort cards using the periodic table and element labels. Our guests loved it and I bet they will never forget that fun detail about our wedding. I love how we were able to have creative and professional looking stationary at a very reasonable cost. Larissa was one of my best vendors!

I don't know how I would've made it through my wedding without Larissa/Papercake Designs. I wanted my invitations and programs to be unique, nice, and elegant -- but at a reasonable price (I'm sure all you brides share the same sentiment).... and after months of searching online and catalogs, I'm soooo thankful I came across Papercake Designs website. I got nothing but the best service, most reasonable price, and best looking invitations and programs! Larissa was very flexible (she was able to accommodate me despite having a rush order!), and she responds to phone calls and emails right away - one VERY important thing that you don't get from other companies. Believe me, it SAVES your sanity to have that instant communication with your vendor in case of changes, additions, and deletions. Until now, my friends still talk about how creative and the invitations and programs are. In fact, a few of my single friends already want to copy them :-) I recommend Papercake Desigs all the way!!

Larissa at Papercake Designs is incredible! She will customize your invitations to any color, any style, any paper, any font, any details you can possibly think of. She also made the stationary for the reception including the table-name signs and escort cards (I loved how they matched the invites). I would definitely recommend Papercake Designs to any bride-to-be!

Papercake designs brought our wedding invitation ideas to life. They created our invitations exactly as I envisioned it in my mind. Larissa was very responsive to my emails and phone calls; I always got a response within a few hours! The invitations came out beautiful and they were half the prize of other vendors I interviews, plus I think Papercake designs invitations looked more professional. When we receive the 100 invitations, each and every one of them was carefully put together and they all looked beautiful. Larissa was incredible flexible and fun to work with! We were truly happy with all of our stationary!

Larissa really listened to everything that we wanted and created a unique set of stationary just for us. From our invites to our programs, everything looked amazing. We loved that we could personalize everything and not work with some huge company over the internet. She is also very reasonable for all the personalized work she did for us. I would highly recommend her to all my friends and family. I think she also does other types of invites, so I plan to use her services again in the future. :)

I couldn't have been more pleased with the wedding invitations I ordered. I wanted them to have a real homemade look with beautiful paper and that's exactly what I got. I would use Papercake Designs again in a heartbeat.

Loved, loved, loved our invites! They were a pleasure to work with and we got rave reviews from everyone who saw the save the dates and the wedding invites. They are creative and will work with you to come up with exactly what you want! We had a wine themed wedding and the invited fit perfectly with our wedding!! Prices were great and they were always prompt and friendly. I would use again for anything I needed an invite for!
