I don’t have an eye catching reel or anything fancy. Most of these photos are probably from years past 🤷🏻♀️ but it’s been a good year and I’m looking forward to the future with all my favorite partners and friends as we keep creating stunning stationery for fabulous events! Xoxo - Nicole

Thank you to
and for your partnership! Almost everything you see here is in stock and available for immediate shipping.
Here’s a great menu card tip - want the handwritten card but not for every person? Try placing it in the center of each table or posting it to the door for guests to see when they enter.
This little menu card is ready for the fall season and was created to match the artwork on the dinnerware.
Visionary:
If you don't use menu cards, I hope you will start! They might sound old fashioned or formal but they seem more relevant today than ever! They are such a wonderful addition to any celebration and they are really as practical as they are pretty. Keep reading to find out why they are a must for your next gathering.
If you do already use them, let's make sure you are using them properly!
What goes on a menu card?
The menu listed by course and the beverage pairings are the most important part of the menu card. They do also serve as a wonderful memento of a dinner party so be sure to add the date and name of the guest of honor for those sentimental guests who like to keep a souvenir of a special occasion. The name of the guest of honor should be at the top of the card. The date can be at the top or the bottom.
Where do the menu cards go?
There are options for this! I like to display a menu card in my foyer so that my guests can see what is going to be served when we enjoy our meal together. If they see something they cannot eat on the menu, that gives them time to let me know so that I can make accommodations before we sit down.
For some occasions, I place a menu card at each place setting. In this case, the top of each card can be personalized and also serve as the place card. Menu cards can be laid flat to the left of the dinner plate and fork or directly on the dinner plate. They can also be propped up on a place card holder if they are not too large.

Sometimes you get to work with a family and every step of the way is delightful. Working with Natalie and Jennie and Mom was just so much fun. They had a vision and calligraphy was part of it. Invitations, addressing, menu, place cards. A gorgeous intimate ceremony in the trees and a love filled reception. = Perfection.
Thank you for bringing me on board!
{ps} Mom did all the artwork - isn’t it stunning!?

There is so much goodness from this wedding that must be shared. These tabletops are a work of art. (Can we talk about the pink tinted glassware?). I had the pleasure of adding guest name calligraphy to the top of the menus designed by . We used gold ink in my Dylan script.

Sweet teacher gifts - personalized notecards and hand engraved paper weight.
I adore being invited on-site with my clients to help with the final push to an event launch off. Some events have a guest list that changes up to go time and I’m there to ensure every guest is included completely.
It was a joy to join a few weeks ago for this very chic affair at .
One of my favorite projects ever. So colorful and happy!

I love an inscription. This is perfect for a coffee table book. Nothing too big or off the page, just a pretty little note for the memory.
Adorn your tables for Spring!
I know Spring just started but this wedding has me dreaming of warm summer nights.
Meet us where sand meets the sea, and the sea touches the sky….

Expertly prouduced by , Manon and Nate’s nuptials were an organic extension of Nantucket’s tradition and tranquility. The environmental inspiration was evident yet elegantly understated. Natural shades and soft blue hues mixed to mimic the island’s infinite vista, while a modern MN monogram that blended into a branded buoy mark wove throughout the weekend’s visuals and into digital teasers. Rattan, woodgrain, twisted rope, sailboats, shells, sand dollars, seagrass- every detail down to the tiniest texture enhanced this effortless Americana summer aesthetic.
