I had an upcoming shower and had arranged for the invitations to be done so that my mother could bring them over to Iowa City that weekend. To little surprise, we were told a few days before that the invitations would not be done. Actually, we were told that it would be a "miracle" if they were done in time. I understand that paper gets back ordered and what not, but had the proofs been sent in time we would have had an additional 2-3 weeks buffer.
After another appointment to discuss final details for the wedding invitations I was told that I would receive proofs within the next two weeks. I contacted them at the two week mark and was told they were still working on those proofs. I waited two more weeks before finally e-mailing them and asking about when we could get the proofs done so that we could submit our order. 5 weeks after our initial appointment we finally made the order.
I just have to tell you how AMAZING the invitations, thank you notes, and bookmarks turned out! Oh my goodness, the bookmarks! Lady! They are so much better than what I ever would have come up with! And the calligraphy on the envelopes is stunning! You’ve literally made me regret eloping because I don’t get to send out more of your gorgeous invitations! You guys did a fantastic job; I’m telling everyone!
Great spot for stationery, especially cards, and little gifts. Really enjoyed both of my experiences there and loved chatting with the two ladies, one which I think was the owner, who helped me find a notebook when I went in last week.

We went to Ephemera for our save the date and wedding invitations. In the end, we were happy with the way both turned out. However, it was a very frustrating process to get there. I had an appointment with one of the designers over a year before my wedding date and we struggled to get both the save the dates and wedding invitations by the deadline that I wanted. In addition, I sent multiple emails and made many calls to check-in on where we were at in the process.
Again, our invitations turned out beautiful, but if I were to redo the process I would have gone elsewhere and saved myself unnecessary stress.
Great place to get custom wedding invitations that are adoreable and competitively priced with online invitations. The final product looks so amazing that I would highly recommend you check out Arin at Ephemera in Des Moines!
