In-vita Paper Studio

I love InvitaPaper products! She has done my wedding invitation, baby shower, and much more! Excellent quality.

The best of the best! Excellent quality work. Beautiful selection of invitations and cards. She made my wedding, baby shower and party invitations and I loved them ALL!

In Vita is a Los Angeles based paper studio that I first encountered at the Renegade Craft Fair. The single cards were $ 3 each with a quantity discount — not a bad deal at all. Also, I liked how the designs didn’t look familiar to me. I have a good memory for greeting cards that I like and I don’t think In Vita is stocked at the places I shop.
These aren’t letterpress cards but the card stock has a nice texture and a matte finish (I don’t like glossy pictures or glossy cards). I like that the cards are simple, blank inside, with geometric designs and 2 or 3 colors maximum on a ecru background. The color choices are pleasing. They come with color coordinated envelopes. I don’t always agree with the choice of font (e.g., the font of the «happy day to you» card is busy looking). But that’s just my personal preference for clean fonts.
My favorite cards from the 2008 line are (1) thank you card with the dark purple and dark yellow blossoms w/​grey dotted lines — nice color combination, unusual too, (2) happy birthday card with lanterns — looks vaguely Asian and the lanterns convey a celebratory feeling without being too obvious, and (3) my very favorite — the happy birthday card with chocolate cupcakes on a tiered cake pedestal — I love cupcakes and cake pedestals.
These aren’t my favorite cards but I do really like a couple of designs and the prices are reasonable. She also does custom work (wedding invitations, personalized stationery).
