I had a specific vision for personalized table arrangements themed around Italy and CW brought this idea to life! CW worked around my needs and produced quality prints in a timely manner. Although the service was expensive, this personal touch helped make the special event that much more beautiful. The seating chart/map of Italy now hangs in our house and serves as a constant reminder of the happiest day of our lives! More...

As the organizer of an event built around a map, I knew Carol was the perfect choice to design all the parts of our event. She designed a logo, save-the-date postcards, map for bags, and 32-page guide for participants. She gave us a look that defined our brand. I appreciated her patience and desire to make everything just right. More...

This a great company that was able to get me exactly what I needed in the time that I needed. I was also a little demanding (not on purpose, but I was freaking out about timing) and I received nothing but the most professional and kindest treatment. That alone is worth a lot given that you don't mean to be rude but at the same time, a lot depends on your order (for me, it was getting bridal shower invites out on time). Beautiful designs and professional treatment is what you will get here! More...

Carol has great taste and was able to make beautiful wedding programs, menus & signs that correspond with our theme.

I have always felt that invitations are like a first impression and really set the tone for your wedding. Carol was incredible to work with and created a wedding invitation and custom map that we were excited and proud to send to our guests.
We have received the sweetest messages from people since the invitations went out. People have said: "The invitation was probably the prettiest invitation I have ever received." and "It's probably the most stunning wedding invitation I've ever seen."
If you want an amazing invitation for your guests, and a fabulous customized map for a special touch, CW Designs is the one to go with.

Carol designed all of our paper products for our April 2017 Miami Beach wedding, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Our Miami art deco save the dates, tropical invitation suite, and photo thank you cards were all beautiful! She also designed our menu cards, wedding programs, map/itinerary for guests, and welcome box stickers. Everything was coordinated and meticulously designed. As an attorney, I am extremely detail oriented and can be overly picky -- and Carol was ALWAYS willing to make whatever changes I requested. She is extremely patient, responsive, and a TRUE DELIGHT to work with. Her prices are very fair (especially for custom work) and the quality of the printed product is excellent. I have already recommended her to my friends and hope I can work with her on another event sometime soon! Thank you Carol!!! More...

I was thoroughly impressed with Carol's professionalism at every stage of designing, ordering and shipping the custom maps that she made for my wedding. She provided very clear instructions and a survey for incorporating specific locations, color schemes, text for our itinerary, map symbols and scale so we were able to establish our vision with her in our first exchange and create an excellent proof. I was then impressed with her prompt responses when I decided to make adjustments to the text and map information. She typically replied with a refined proof within an hour. So, I always felt that she was addressing my concerns. She was able to develop an excellent product on short notice too! I decided last minute that I wanted to provide my wedding guests with maps. It only took her two weeks from our first exchange to receiving the maps at my doorstep. When I got them I was also impressed at the careful packaging. The maps were stacked and wrapped in a vacuum sealed plastic wrap, then wrapped in bubble wrap. Overall, I couldn't be happier! More...

If you are looking for a partner to work with for your wedding invitations or RSVPs, look no further. Working with Carol was a pleasure! Her design portfolio is excellent if you want to select something that already exists or ask her to create something completely unique. She is listens to what you are looking to create and then does so quickly and quickly and quite reasonably. I would recommend her to friends or work with her again in the future for another occassion. Thanks Carol! More...

Carol did a fantastic job on my wedding map. My map was meant to be more of a guide than a decoration and she was able to make it both. I had over 40 locations that spread across a 12" x 20" map. A little more complex than most I see and Carol made it happen. She is truly the map expert in this industry. After hiring her she had a draft to me in a few days and a final in another few days. Overall a two week project. Great timing for the amount of work that was involved. More...

I cannot say enough about Carol and the magic that is CW Designs! She did my rehearsal dinner invitations and welcome maps, but if I had it to do over again I would order every invitation, paper good, and favor from CW Designs. It would have made my wedding more beautiful, cheaper, and less of a hassle! I found her on Pinterest because there was an invitation I liked and I followed the bread crumbs to her. I ordered them through etsy and was so nervous because I had never used etsy before and had maybe 3 weeks before the event. At my request she actually called me and talked to me to make me feel better and hand addressed and mailed them because I had no time and was so stressed. They were a smashing success (gold foil on wood veneer for my Cowboy Cocktail rehearsal dinner - will post a pic when I get them back) all on time and SO BEAUTIFUL! They were such a success that I ended up ordering a bunch of maps to give to my out of town guests. My wedding was on 900 acres of endless activities and Carol was unfailingly patient with my thousands of notes and got me the most glorious maps unbelievably fast. Thank you Carol, I'm ordering all invitations through you from now on! More...
