Mother of Hermes Press

Maia — owner of Mother of Hermes Press — not only has done both of my birth announcements, but has also created the most wonderful personalized stationary for me, various family members, etc. People couldn’t stop talking about our birth announcements. She was wonderful to work with on those projects and the final product reflected our personality and sense of humor. Her work is unique, high quality and so so fun. Maia is easy to work with, professional and I would highly recommend MOHP to anyone who loves the idea of having beautiful personalized stationary, invitations, birth announcements… created by a printing press on lovely paper by a lovely small business owned by a very special person.

I have ordered personalized stationary as gifts for family and friends several times from Mother of Hermes. Maia, the owner, is not only prompt and professional, but very creative. She has impeccable taste when it comes to fonts, colors, and graphics, and she’ll help you make design decisions or leave them up to you if you already know what you want. Her selection of samples is amazing and a great place to start if you’re not sure exactly what you’re looking for. And her prices are extremely reasonable! I plan to go to her first for future stationary needs.

After the birth of our baby, we wanted to send out announcements and had a vague notion of what we wanted, but not sure how to go about getting it done. Enter Maya of Mother of Hermes Press. We had worked together before on a mutual friend’s baby shower announcements. It had been so easy and fun working with Maya on that project, and I knew that working with her on our birth announcements would be the same.
We told her our ideas and she had great comments and suggestions. It was a true collaborative process — she listened to everything we wanted, and figured out a way to make it work. With all the attention she gave every detail, it felt like our birth announcement meant as much to her as it did to us. The end product was amazing — so well done, and exactly what we were looking for. We received many great comments about our announcements — Maya did such a beautiful, creative job. We will definitely use MoHP in the future.

Confession: I am a letterpress junkie. I just love it — the feel, the quality, the time and care put into each handmade card. It elevates the art of the written letter. I have ordered personalized stationary as gifts from Mother of Hermes twice now. Each time the ordering experience has been very professional, and the recipient of the gift delighted. The designs are gorgeous (and you can also get a custom one), the letterpress itself impressive, and the paper (Crane’s) very substantial. The price is very competitive for the amount of cards and the quality. I will definitely continue to order letterpress stationary from here. Highly recommend!

I found Maia at Pitchfork a couple of years ago and was so excited to find a local, independent letterpresser! I met with her for engagement party invites which she created custom for us. Absolutely gorgeous and perfect. Lots & lots of compliments. I went back to her for save the date cards which was a big project, but well worth the effort. I needed 2 different cards (small family ceremony + big reception on another date). She created the front to look like a vintage postcard, perforated the side to a separate bookmark, and made 2 different versions for the back with the date & info. I almost forgot about the envelopes with return addresses! Wowzers, so reasonably priced, so beautiful, so letterpressingly awesome. It was great to work with Maia, and I love her non-​custom work that she uses just for her own fun. High, high recommend!

Mother of Hermes Press does custom letterpress — wedding invitations, birth announcements, and the like. Prices are competitive on small jobs and large, and the work is beautiful.
