We are honored to be a finalist for the Best of 2025 for Wedding Invitations. Thank you so much to all who voted for us. To be a finalist is always a huge win. It means so many of you thought of us when you thought of the best invitations in MN. That is huge. Now, it is time for round two! This final round is for wedding vendors only, so my fellow vendor friends, your support would be so loved. We cannot wait to celebrate with you in July!

Join us this Sunday for our favorite and only big show of the year! I love this show because it showcases all the fantastic designs we created last year. Plus, we always have a Bride show-only special you cannot get at any other time with us. You will have to visit our booth to find out! 😘 We will be in booth 308 next to some of our favorite vendor friends, so it will be a fun time!

Okay, full honesty here. I do not recommend my clients put wax seals on their envelopes! I only say it will work if there is an inner/outer envelope combination. Wax seals can get scratched, damaged, and fall off in the mail. Plus, I guarantee the post office staff will grumble at you when you go to get stamps. I LOVE the elegance of wax seals though. I recommend adding it to the invitation itself or, even better, using it in your event stationery! Wax seals can be used as meal indicators, add some flair to your menu or place cards, or supply a 3D element to any of your event stationery needs. You can still have that classic look with a wax seal while keeping it safe and secure.

It has been a while since I have shown my face behind the stationery. Hello, I'm Evelyn Miller, owner of Epitome Papers!
I have owned this historic all-women-owned company for six years; it is a dream come true. With an illustration and letterpress printing background, I love telling my couple's stories through their event stationery. My favorite thing would be putting little hidden touches about the couple into their invitations. Whether their favorite flowers, the pattern on their wedding dress, or a hint that they are moving to a specific state soon. The little details make their wedding invitation genuinely unique to them. Let's grab a cup of coffee and chat about your design dreams for your event stationery!

A question that has come up in my recent phone calls with couples is, what event stationery do we do? The main question should be what event stationery CAN'T we do! Event stationery is a tool to direct your guests where to go and heighten their wedding experience. I love trying new creative ways to expand on this! To guide future couples, I've added a list of items we have created for event stationery to our website's "Epitome Experience" page. Take a look, and let's make an amazing event experience together.

2025 Summer Couples. I don't mean to alarm you, but...we are less than six months away! I am right there with you this year. I'm working on my wedding invitations as we speak for my wedding on June 29th. Yes, I will share what I do, don't worry! 😘
With this, I am taking very limited couples for June and only have two slots left. I take two to three weddings per weekend, so it is always best to contact me as soon as possible. The other summer months are as follows:
May: BOOKED
June: 2 slots left
July: Open for all dates
August: 6 spots left
My fall is also starting to fill quickly, so if you still need to mail save the dates, let's talk!

One of the more significant trends I see coming into 2025 is having more interactive activities for guests. This means entertaining signage to let guests know they can enjoy exploring these events! Who wouldn't want to say they went to a wedding and hunted for geodes?!

Photographers! Can we have a trend in 2025 where the Ushers model the programs in photos? This is just amazing from Heather & Ryan's wedding last summer. We need more of this in the world.

✨We have a huge announcement as we say goodbye to​​​​​​​​​2024, and a big hello to 2025! ✨As you know, businesses have to adapt to changing times. Since COVID, we have experienced a significant drop in in-person meetings for our stationery. Most of our meetings are virtual, but if it is a wedding or larger event, we visit your planner's office. These other methods have been very successful for us in recent years. With this, to better serve our clients, we are moving to a work-from-home status as of February 1st, 2025, and will no longer have our office space. We will be having in-person meetings at Smith Coffee in Eden Prairie and are exploring other in-person meeting locations. You can still meet with us to review stationery options and feel the papers! This was a crucial step I did not want to lose entirely. For more information on this change, please check out the blog post in our profile links.​​​​​​​​​We have made many significant changes in recent years, so we cannot thank you enough for taking this ride with us. Epitome Papers means so much to Shannon and me. It has a strong history in Minnesota and is something we want to continue for many years to come.
