Here's what people are saying about Elva Marie's Fine Paper creations...



Wedding: September 2008
I have had a great experience working with Elva and Elva Marie's Fine Paper. She has been great through the whole process of creating our wedding invitations. She jumped in when my original designer went out of business and continued in helping me use my ideas in developing something that reflected our wedding theme. The awesome invitations she put together could not have been acquired anywhere else. I truly respect her professionalism and abilities to be original in creating one of kind invitations. I would highly recommend Elva Marie's Fine Paper to anyone!


Wedding: August 2008
Elva Marie’s Fine Paper produced all of the printed pieces for my daughter’s recent wedding. Elva designed the invitations and then coordinated the menus, programs and table assignments to match. Elva is very creative and very in tune with the bride’s desires. We received compliments on the originality and sophisticated look of it all. Most importantly, Elva made the entire process as easy as possible. We chose to do the assembly ourselves and everything was provided for us down to the scissors and the glue. Thank you, Elva, for giving us the perfect personalized invitation!


Wedding: August 2008
We truly appreciate all the work you did in helping us prepare for our big day! Your amazing insight into what we wanted, attention to detail, and artistic creativity helped make our wedding look and feel the way we had hoped. We could not have asked for more from you! Both before and after the wedding, our guests complimented us on the uniqueness of our invitations and escort cards with our table numbers. Of course, all the compliments should go to you. Thank you once again and we look forward to using your services for our special occasions in the future!


Wedding: August 2008
Ann & I would like to express our thanks to you for helping us create such beautiful wedding invitations! Although we participated in the selection process, the end result turned out to be so very beautiful and so much more impressive than we anticipated. Many of our guests commented to us that they had never seen wedding invitations so unique and beautiful as ours. Making an impression like that says a lot about the bride and groom, but we feel it says a lot about the person that has the vision and creativity to combine everything as beautifully as you did. Your suggestion that we incorporate different presentation elements on the inside was crucial, but then adding the photo of the Sandia Mountains on the front turned out to be the crowning touch. We were very pleased with the final version of our wedding invitations, as were our family, friends, and guests. Thanks again for helping us make our “special” day very special!


Wedding: August 2008
Thank you so much for helping us to set such a beautiful tone for the wedding. Everything turned out even better than we had hoped for!


Wedding: July 2008
Elva is one of the most remarkable and creative women I have ever met. I was very worried because I was planning my wedding from Kansas City but was having my wedding in Albuquerque. I saw her very cute postcard and decided to call her. We met the next day and I fell in love with her! The thing I loved about her most was she was very willing to listen to what I wanted and help me create the perfect everything! She also had so much class and taste, that I loved asking her for advice. She did everything for me. We wanted everything to go together so she did the invitations, rehearsal dinner invitations, bridesmaid’s luncheon, escort cards, table names, programs, and Thank You notes. If only I would have discovered her before I sent the “Save the dates”! I feel that my wedding was just perfect and Elva had so much to do with it! I would recommend Elva to anyone and everyone! She made it so easy! She became my friend. Thank you Elva for making my wedding day just perfect!


Wedding: July 2008
The wedding invitations and RSVPs are UNBELIEVABLE!!! Thank you so much for all of your exceptional work on the custom designs. I absolutely could not ask for anything more.....they are perfect. You made everything so easy.


Wedding: July 2008
I am so impressed with Elva's creativity, professionalism, knowledge, etiquette and efficiency. I presented Elva with an image of our wedding theme and she created an invitation which was EXACTLY what I had envisioned and more!

It was important for us to set the precedence of our wedding through our invitations and Elva has made that happen! Every idea that she shared with me was better than the previous and the end result has superseded our expectations.

Thank you Elva for making this experience fun AND hassle-free and for all of your invaluable guidance! I will be recommending you to everyone and anyone...


Wedding: June 2008
Robert and I were recently married and during our planning phase, we were having a very hard time finding a vendor that did “custom” invitations. We had almost given up hope until Robert found Elva’s business card and we decided to call her. It was the best decision we made! Elva understood the vision that we had for our invitations and made the entire process fun and easy. She helped us to design invitations that complimented our individuality and unique style, and that set the tone for our entire wedding. I am so glad that we had the opportunity to work with such a great person and that we didn’t give up and buy from the web! Robert and I are very meticulous people and Elva was great at being able to see the end result with us and helping to make everything come to fruition. Elva, thanks again for everything that you did! Our wedding was everything I could have asked for and you were definitely a part of that! You know you are going to do the baby shower invitations too, right? I’ll let you know when the time comes J


Wedding: Wedding: June 2008
Working with Elva was one of the best experiences I had while planning my wedding. She was amazing. I worked with Elva strictly online only meeting her once to receive my wedding invitations. She e-mailed me examples of different invitations and she threw in some amazing ideas as far as the design and colors went. She made a map to the venue, rsvp cards, preaddressed envelopes, and suggested font designs and wording. Once I received them, the invitations were something I could never have imagined. They were gorgeous and even months after my wedding people are always telling me that the invitations were the most beautiful invitations they had ever seen, and I agree! If I had a chance to work with Elva again I would in a heartbeat. If you are even considering going with Elva, DO IT! You will not regret a thing and you will have some of the prettiest invitations you have ever seen.


Wedding: June 2008
I struggled with choosing invitations. I must have ordered 20 samples from various catalogs, but none of the samples looked like "my" invite. Then I stumbled across a brochure from Elva that I had picked up at a bridal show. I am so thankful I found that brochure because Elva brought my thoughts to life. She brought a designed sample to our first meeting after I sent her some ideas. She was patient with my many changes, and I was able to get custom-designed invites that were more beautiful than any of the standard, catalog ones I'd seen, and they were more affordable, too! From my first glance at the big, beautiful box tied with a beautiful pink ribbon, I knew that the invites inside would not disappoint and I was right. I received so many compliments on my invitations and am so glad that I discovered Elva. I recommend her with 100 percent confidence


Wedding: June 2008
I used Elva Marie's Fine Paper for both wedding invitation inserts and for wedding program fans. I was incredibly happy with both. The fans looked amazing and I got lots of compliments about them. Also, Elva was incredibly helpful and even gave suggestions on how to keep the cost down. She was very nice and great to work with. I would strongly recommend her for any printing needs.


Renewal of Vows: May 2008
Elva is the greatest! I recently renewed my vows for my 25th anniversary. With Elva’s professionalism and skills she made everything magical. From the first “Save-the-date” cards to my invitations and CD wedding favors she was there with designs, colors, and ideas. It was one stop shopping. I don’t know what I would have done without her. I simply gave her a vague idea of what I wanted and she put it all together. Everything was more beautiful and more elegant than I can express. She went the extra mile; they were all unique and personable. What is also amazing is this was all done by email and telephone. Elva lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico and I live in North Carolina and the event took place in Las Vegas, Nevada. She worked it all out. Elva, thank you from the bottom of my heart, you made our special day a stellar occasion. It was truly a pleasure working with you.


Wedding: April 2008
Elva Marie's Fine Paper is a phenomenal custom stationer! We chose Elva Marie for our wedding invitations and also recommend her to our clients. To this day our guests still mention how amazing our invitations were. Not only is the company amazing to work with; amiable, honest, creative, and affordable...But Elva's work is one of a kind. For a truly unbeatable experience we highly recommend, Elva Marie!


Wedding: March 2008
Elva created a very unique, fun but at the same time elegant wedding invitation for our wedding. She incorporated a penguin bride and groom graphic into the invitation and tied it all together with our apple red and silver color themes. I really liked the metallic paper that she used. She added rhinestones on the invitation and a silver bow which added an extra special touch. People have started to receive their invitations in the mail and say that they are really nice and very unique. Elva also created great insert cards and found a creative way to tie them all together. It was nice to be able to see samples of the invitations before they were printed instead of hoping that they would look good when ordering online. Elva is very reasonably priced, it was great that she cut the price in half if we assembled the invitations ourselves. Elva was also very quick in creating a design, and providing the final printed invitations. Elva is very professional and is always available to answer questions. I highly recommend that brides use Elva to create their wedding invitations. Thank you so much Elva!


Corporate: February 2008
One meeting with Elva Marie's Fine Paper was all it took! How easy is that! Being a small business owner time is crucial. The design and print is EXACTLY what I wanted! Elva Marie will always be my go to girl for all my paper needs! Thanks Elva for the time and perfection!


Wedding: November 2007
For our wedding, we wanted unique and personalized. That is exactly what one receives when they use Elva Marie's Fine Paper. From meeting to delivery, the process of having Elva make our Wedding Array of paper goods was a breeze. She is exceptionally talented, easy to talk to, and goes the extra mile to make her clients happy. Our non-traditional theme really was apparent on our invitations and our guest raved about them. For any event, we recommend Elva Marie's Fine Paper and should the need arise (like a Hot Air Balloon) in the future, we won't hesitate to call on her.


Wedding: August 2007
...picked up the invites this morning... The invitations look fabulous. Did I mention we have chosen some shoes for Emily that exactly matches the red accent!!
Thanks again!


Surprise Birthday BBQ: July 2007
You have to see Elva's work to appreciate how very special an invitation can be. Once you have seen her work, and the special touches that turn it into a personal note, you will never again buy invitations that are mass produced. Elva is creative with the different colors, fonts and textures that add so much to the final product. She is open to ideas and specific requests. I was very pleased with her work and highly recommend Elva. Guests who called to RSVP commented on how "beautiful, pretty, nice, unusual" the invitation was.....and it WAS!


Wedding: July 2007
Our invitations are gorgeous. Thank you very much and I cannot wait to show off your talent to any and all that I possibly can.
Thank you again!


9th Birthday: February 2007
Thank you for the invitations that you made for my birthday party. They were really nice, and all my friends wanted one. I hope that you can do them again next year!


Christmas Party: December 2006
Any web site or store can put together a pretty looking invitation or announcement. You pick the invitation that you like the most, give them your information and the end result is an invitation that someone else designed. You're little company is so much more than that.
After we met and talked about the event, my ideas, and the theme - you designed a couple of different invitations for me to look at and I decided what I liked most. You put everything together and the end result was a collaboration of ideas and a beautiful, one of a kind invitation. I received so many compliments on the invitations for our Christmas Party! Thank you so much!


Wedding: August 2006
I just wanted to say thank you so much for the wonderful job you did on our wedding announcements and invitations! You were so easy to work with and did so much to make sure we got a final product that really represented our styles and personalities. When our family and friends received them, they all said the announcements were beautiful and became keepsakes. You had so many great ideas but also helped narrow down all the ideas we had into something we really wanted. I will happily work with you again and can't wait for my next party so you can make the invitations!


Wedding: June 2006
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your outstanding work on my wedding in June 2006. You were an invaluable asset and your dedication ensured that I truly had the best day of my life. My wedding day will be one I will always remember.
Thank you.
