Last spring, I was approached by a wedding invitation designer out west to have our Mid-coast Maine map envelope liner included in one of her client's invitation suites. Map liners are such a great touch, so I agreed! A few months later, the bride, Kristine reached out to me about...
When I got an email from a long time friend, Cindy, telling me that her daughter was getting married, I was thrilled! Cindy and I knew each other when I lived in Milton, MA in the "pre-Bob years". I had just started El's Cards when we first met, and Tori...

It is always a wonderful compliment when a favorite El's Cards client contacts me about their wedding plans! In this case, it was Ann, the Mother of the Bride, who reached out to me last spring. To be thought of for these special occasions is by far the best news...
These colorful flowers were so much fun to paint! Crystal and John Michael had some great ideas for their wedding invitation custom design, and I was thrilled that this fun couple trusted me to bring their vision to life. Naturally, since we too are cat lovers, it was a perfect...
In May of 2018, I had a call from Julie about creating the invitations for her Labor Day weekend wedding. She loved one of our existing invitation suites and wanted to customize the invitation to be her very own. A fully custom invitation is wonderful, but it can be just as much fun to...
This Kennebunkport wedding was another one of our fun projects with the talented Kate Martin from Beautiful Days last summer.

Every year there is an invitation design that is our most popular! I can officially call 2018 "The Year of the Mussel Shell"! Elissa got in touch with me in autumn of 2017 about her September 2018 wedding. She loved the mussel shell design and was very excited about including our...
A large part of El's Cards business is our craft show season. We love doing these shows because it gets us out in public (yes...wearing comfy clothes to work at home every day is great...but we do enjoy getting out of the house too!). One of the most fun benefits...
We work with clients all over the country, but we always enjoy working with a stunning local venue like Wentworth by the Sea Country Club. This autumn wedding was really custom from start to finish. The bride, Liz, reached out to me in the winter before the October wedding, and our...
We love working with our couples from start to finish on their wedding stationery. Sometimes though, the bride might find us after the invitations are long ago sent to the guests. That was the case with the beautiful bride Michaela and the handsome groom Dimitri! Michaela reached out to me last...
