Introduction

Creating Invitations for Every Occasion and Cater to Your Unique Style.

The story of Violet Invitations is one of passion and dedication to creating exceptional products that truly stand out. It all began with Melanie's love for designing invitations and printed paper projects for her loved ones. Her keen eye for detail and exquisite taste in typography and premium paper stocks led her to pursue her dream of starting an invitation business.

Having spent many years in the corporate marketing world, Melanie's expertise in design and marketing was instrumental in establishing Violet Invitations as a brand that delivers exceptional custom-designed products for all occasions. With a desire to stand out from the crowd, Melanie's goal was to create invitations that were unique and tailored to each client's needs.

Soon, her passion and hard work caught the attention of Laura, a seasoned expert in the field, and together they formed a powerful duo with a shared vision to create bespoke invitations that make a lasting impression. With their combined knowledge, experience, and design skills, they have been able to create truly phenomenal products that stand out in a crowded market.

At Violet Invitations, the focus is always on the client and their vision for their special occasion. We understand that every event is unique and deserves a one-of-a-kind invitation that captures its theme, style, and tone perfectly. Our team of designers work closely with each client to bring their ideas to life, crafting invitations that are not only visually stunning but also embody the spirit of the occasion.

We believe that the invitation sets the tone for the entire event, and our commitment to creating exceptional designs is evident in every product we deliver. Whether you're looking for something elegant and sophisticated or fun and whimsical, we have the expertise and creativity to make your vision a reality. Let us help you create a truly memorable event with a custom-designed invitation that is as unique as you are.

The Wedding Industry

At Violet Invitations, our journey into the wedding industry began with a passion for celebrating life’s most cherished moments. There’s something magical about being part of a couple’s love story, helping them set the tone for their special day through beautifully crafted invitations. 

What we love most about this industry is the opportunity to bring dreams to life—creating designs that reflect each couple’s unique style and personality while sharing in the excitement of their journey. From the moment we start brainstorming ideas to seeing the final product in their hands, it’s an honor to be entrusted with such an important part of their celebration.

The Wedding Memories

One of our favorite wedding memories at Violet Invitations involves a couple whose love story was as unique as their invitation design. They chose a celestial theme, symbolizing how they were "written in the stars," and seeing their vision come to life was unforgettable. At their wedding, the groom’s speech stood out as he shared, “She didn’t just say yes to me; she said yes to our dreams, our future, and every challenge we’ll face together.” That heartfelt line captured the essence of what makes weddings so extraordinary—the promise of unwavering love and partnership. Being a small part of moments like these is what makes our work truly special.

When Should I Send My Invitations Out?

WEDDINGS AND FORMAL EVENTS:

Traditionally, wedding invitations are sent out 3 months before the wedding date. However, if you are having a destination wedding or if many of your guests will need to make travel arrangements, it is recommended to send the invitations out 5-6 months in advance to give them enough time to plan accordingly. This may vary depending on if you sent Save-The-Dates out.

 

CASUAL OCCASIONS:

For an event like a bridal shower or graduation party, it's generally recommended to send out invitations 4-6 weeks before the event date. This gives your guests enough time to RSVP and plan accordingly. If it's a particularly busy time of year, such as during the holiday season or summer vacation, you may want to send invitations out even earlier to ensure that your guests are available and able to attend.

Personal Hobbies

About Melanie

When I’m not designing beautiful wedding details for Violet Invitations, I love spending time with my husband and two kids, traveling to tropical destinations, and finding inspiration in new experiences. I recently rediscovered my love for dance and now enjoy taking adult tap and jazz classes, which have become a fun and energizing way to connect with my passion. I also run a marketing business that allows me to explore my creative side in different ways. Whether I’m working, traveling, or making memories with my family, these moments fuel my creativity and bring balance to my life.

About Laura

I absolutely love decorating and finding ways to bring beauty and creativity into every space. Pampering myself with trips to the nail and hair salon is one of my favorite ways to recharge and feel my best. When I get some alone time, there’s nothing better than relaxing with a good Lifetime movie. But nothing makes me happier than spending quality time with my four boys and our sweet pup. They’re the heart of everything I do and the reason life is so full of joy and love.
