| open house |

Spring is in full swing. Whether you are frenzied over the last details of your big day, or nervously starting to look at venues for next year, it is easy to overlook some of the most important pieces. Well no worries, stonington design+paperie can help make the stationery piece a little easier this spring.

We welcome you to join us for a fun and inspiring event. On Thursday, May 29th and again on June 12th the atelier will be hosting an open studio so that you can truly appreciate what we can create for your wedding paper wardrobe.

Save the dates and invitations are the first impressions your guests will have of your wedding—and you know what they say about first impressions. Not to mention if your wedding is not far away, a few last minute, but well-thought out pieces like coordinated programs, menus and seating charts can really add that extra touch to make guests feel your gracious hospitality.

So for those of you who want your guests to circle your day in red on their calendar, come visit us on May 29th or June 12th. The atelier will be open from 5:30 to 7:30pm. Bring your ideas and any questions you may have. Sip bubbly and enjoy some delectables.

Plus there will be special event only perks as our way of saying thank you for allowing us to be a part of your memorable day.
