Meg was a joy to work with
Wow – Meg was a joy to work with! I think I looked at options from 50+ stationary artists and once I stumbled upon Meg’s work, I immediately knew we needed to hire her. During our first meeting, she listened carefully to my vision and executed it perfectly. Not only is Meg extremely talented, but she is such a genuinely kind person.

Frequently
ASked Questions
Below are some of my most frequently asked questions, but feel free to schedule a time to chat with me if you have more! Consults are a great way to get more information on options, pricing, timelines and my process.
Custom wedding invitations should be ordered 6+ months before your wedding, giving us plenty of time for design, assembly and mailing. Additional design time is required for custom artwork and illustrations so it's best to inquire early to make sure we've got plenty of time to get all the details perfect!
We love to take the mailing process off your hands! Save the dates are mailed 6-8 months before your big day. Wedding invitations are mailed 3 months prior to your wedding date.
Due to the custom nature of our design and printing processes, invitation suites and other stationery items cannot be rushed at this time.
If we are not mailing for you, all orders are shipped via UPS. Once shipped, you will receive your pretty package within 3-7 business days. Shipping is included in your price. If you are local, you may pick up your invitations at the MM Design Studio or delivery (within the Cleveland metro area) is available for a flat $50 charge.
Unlimited! We want to make sure your design is perfect before printing.
Absolutely! I love incorporating your wedding brand into all your paper and signage. It's what I do best! Please reach out to learn more about day-of stationery and large signage options.
