“The Caroline-Kevin collection is my absolute fave. I see it is quite popular in the comments section, but I had to pick it because it really is my favorite. I love the yellow and green, and it is very California, which is where my wedding will be next year.”
The olive branch design is just beautiful!
I love the work she did for John and Elissa's wedding with the city design. We're getting married in Boston and I love the idea of doing a city skyline!
I love the Kim-Thomson wedding! The color is great (that red ink pressed onto the red envelope is fanastic), and I love the bi-lingual invites! More people should do that.
My favorite disign is the green sunflower. They are all beautiful though!
I'm drawn to the organic, lavender shell and leaf combo. I think it's elegant, especially for bridal shower invites!
I love the collection for Caroline and Kevin--the double bike is a perfect image. Nice work.
Maybe it's the slight chill in the air, but I've got Autumn on my mind. I adore the invitations done for Lesley & Ryan, with the warm oranges and browns and the tapestry inspired design. Just beautiful for a fall wedding!
My favorite is the Jules & Nate collection!
I love the use of color in the coral and teal invitation suite, so modern!
My fav is the deep purple, brown and green wedding ensemble for Rachel and Matthew. The colors and textures look so rich...makes me want to touch them.
i love rachel and matthew! The purple and green are colors of my wedding.
I adore the Tiffany blue and red set - so modern yet easily formal enough for an evening event.
my favorite is the yellow poppy flower collection!
I love the Manuel & Hilda personal stationery from the website! The green envelope is the perfect pairing with the beautiful brown font and elegant design!
The vegas inspired one is awesome! It alludes to anything but a typical Vegas wedding :)
Oh wow, I love the bright colors on Lesley & Ryan's set! That looks like a fun wedding!
My fave is the sunflower. So subtle and sweet!
I love the Lesley-Ryan wedding. Not only does that set showcase my colors (orange and brown), the design also reminds me of the batiks from my culture (Peranakan from Singapore). Olive Route has an all around lovely collection!
I love them all, but my favorite has to be the assorted notecard designs. Simple but unique!
The butterflies and sunflowers are adorable! Butterflies have always been my "thing"--It's the whole idea of a new creation that I love. And the green letter press would make the sweetest thank-you cards for my May wedding!
Hands down, my favorite is the retro "Vegas" inspired wedding invites. So wonderfully fun and quirky... VERY "neat". :)
I love, love the carousel card and the bicycle built for two so much! If I had to choose I'd go with the bicycle, people would absolutely know those cards were from us.
I love the red and turquoise ones with the flower in the bottom right corner, how romantic and still very classic and lovely.
I picked one from the stationery section and fell in love with the Cher Card which is purple with an iris imprint I believe. So gorgeous.
Every single one! I love the Vegas wedding invites, but I'd have to pick one of the calling cards as my favorites!
Beautiful collection! I love the olive branch design - organic & elegant!!
I love love love the artichoke blossom with "Eun-mi" on it--I couldn't find it on the site but love all the rest as well!
I love the intricate design of the Lesley-Ryan ensemble.
My favorite, hands down, is the wedding invitation for John and Tamara. It has that vintage hotel sign feel. Olive-route's designs are fab! All the wedding sets are so unique. I just love how all the different pieces of the design's come together, yet each would be great as a stand-alone design.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Mary Jane and Matthew's!!!
Oh my, her work is all wonderful! Since I am not in the market for wedding invitations but would love to win some thank you notes anyway, I would say my favorite is the Pink Cards that say Eun-Mi! They are precious!
What a wonderful collection. I am adding Olivia to my calligraphy site today! Thank you for sharing her wonderful work!
I like Kim and Peter!
My favorite is with the sea shell. It reminds me of my home in Mexico. I wish I was there this moment relaxing at the beach, and enjoying the breeze and the smell of the ocean. Wow, just by thinking about it, I feel relaxed already.
They're all beautiful and so elegant, but my favorite is the winniewendell suite.
I absolutely LOVE the Lesley and Ryan invites. I love how ornate the design is! Exactly what I'm looking for.
I love the Caroline and Kevin collection. It is the perfect balance between elegance and fun!
I love the Tiffany card. I love the border of light pink and the brown name in centered in the middle! But I'm biased because those are my wedding colors!
Although it is tough to pick just ONE, I would select Mary Jane & Matt because it makes me think of my own wedding (this Saturday). Outside, sunny, airy...just a perfect way of capturing the feel of such a day. Not to mention the rich green tones are gorgeous!
I like the Caryl-Jim design. I'm getting married at the winery and the design is so simple and clean!
I love these for so many reasons. First of all, I would choose the peony (or is that an asparagus?) design in light pink. So understated and classy. I would love to have a custom one made with a pineapple though, b/c my fiance and I both work in hospitality and it is sort of "our" symbol - it would be perfect for thank you notes!
I adore the pink "Tiffany" notecard! Polkadots are my absolute favorite, and the cards have such light, preppy, feminine look to them!
I love the pale green and blue set with sunflowers and butterflies - it portrays such sweet imagery, perfect for a garden setting, and I love the way the colors work together with the brown printing. Beautiful!
I love love LOVE Tiff and Tim.
I love the yellow Caroline & Kevin design. It's gorgeous!
My favourites are the red & blue oak tree/acorns motif, and the Canada goose is stunning :)
My favorite is the Kim & Peter collection, the red is beautiful and would go well with our fall theme!
My two favorites are the Caroline-Kevin wedding for the whimsical images and the Rachel-Matt for the great color palette and nature inspired invitations.
I love the yellow flowers on the Caroline-Kevin wedding and the beautiful ribbon cover of the Caryl & James wedding
The Caroline-Kevin collection is my absolute fave. I see it is quite popular in the comments section, but I had to pick it because it really is my favorite. I love the yellow and green, and it is very California, which is where my wedding will be next year.
I love the mauve-y purple, brown and green set. They are all so lovely.
They're all lovely but Nancy & Dave's botanical stationery strikes a special chord -- a floral like this is stunning yet classic.
I am loving the Willard-Hultman set - a great combo of elegant yet fun colors, and the image of the tree is gorgeous. Thanks for some great posts, Abby!
My favorite design is the Manuel/Hilda Card.
It is so elegant and simple!

My favorites are the Rachel & Matt invitations. What wonderful giveaways, SMP! :)
Oh Manuel and Hilda's cards are great! so pretty and sweet. I'm so glad to be introduced to this company-thanks SMP!!!
Love the plum, green and brown suite... it gives off such a soothing and deep feeling.
I really enjoyed Erin and Peter's invites-- beautiful and simple, just like a perfect wedding!
SMP you rock! You always have the best inspirations!
I like the olive branch one. So simple and beautiful!
The invitation suite for Caroline and Kevin is my hands down favorite, although they are insanely beautiful. I love the use of multiple colors and the different use of florals, the bike and the carousel. It's just fabulous!
Wow, these are GORGEOUS. So hard to decide, but I'd probably have to choose the blue and black and gray skyline invites. I think these would make a real keepsake invitation that would remind guests not only of where they're going but where they've been after the wedding.
I love the asian inspired blue one! The color is gorgeous.
I am in love with the baby shower invite for Tiffany on her special announcements page. It is so so pretty and the colors are so perfect!
I love the Lesley-Ryan collection. They are unlike any other invitations that I have seen!
I loved that every click was a discovery to see what was behind the taste of each collection. My favorite was Allison/Will - the seashell detail struck me as we are having a beach wedding next fall.
I am beyond obsessed with the Rachel-Matt wedding. The purple plum is just fantastic and the combination of purple/green is divine. so organic and awesome.
I really like the one with the brown ironwork pattern...it's gives a vintage feel, but still feeling modern and organic (that's sorta the look we're going for). I also really like the one with the subtle tree pattern. Really all are beautiful!
how gorgeous and sophisticated is the lesley-ryan orange/brown design? unfortunately, it is not within my wedding budget, so i'd love-love-love some thank-yous so that i can spread the love!
I love the Jenn Vee Design. Simple, elegant, with wonderful colors.
My favorite is the orange & brown floral and (dare I also say) paisley? Very chic & unexpected. My fave!
My favorite has got to be the Caroline and Kevin invitation set. So cute, it makes me wish we bike as a hobby so I could include that idea.
I love the design she created for Caroline & Kevin, I am having a Carnival wedding so this would fit well!
definitely caroline and kevin - i see lots of others before me agree, amazing!
I love Tiff & Tim.
I love the "leslie and ryan" with the orange and brown florals.
I love the Valentines Day card. It could be used for many different things.
I love love love the Leslie-Ryan set. The brown and orange florals look both modern and ethnic. The arrangement on the page is very appealing.
Oh my goodness! How do you pick a favorite? Her designs are beautiful! I do love Caroline and kevin's set, Tammi and John, Caroline and Pete, Holy cow!
I really do love the work. I'm a new fan.
The design for tamara and John is so unique. i have never seen anything quite like it!
i love julie & nate's invites....so soft and classic
oh my gosh, there are so many... I love the Lesley/Ryan and the mjMatt, she does amazing work.
I love the Tiff/Tim design!
I love the invitations for the wedding on the beach with the beach huts. I also like the understated but elegant sea-shell.

I am in love with Lesley/Ryan. The colors, the design. Oh wow!
I cant help but adore Lesley and Ryan's invitations!
AS I opened each one I thought, yep - that one is my favorite. So it turns out - I like them all! If I had to pick one, its probably the Jenn Vee. But maybe its just because there were no more to become my favorite after that one..

I have to say that I love Tiffany shower!!!
I love the pink ones that say Eun-Mi! They match perfectly to what I am hoping for!
The ones for "Jane and Claude", with the muted slate designs and birds. Very chic! Love it.
I love the Rachel/Matt invites! The colors are just beautiful.
