Because your love story deserves to shine, starting with the very first piece of mail.

Your invitations are more than a checklist item—they’re the very first peek into your wedding. From the moment guests open the envelope, they should feel something: excitement, beauty, you. I’ll help you set the tone for your celebration with designs that feel thoughtful, intentional, and completely unforgettable.

Let’s Make the First Impression Count

you've dreamed of this day...

it's so nice to meet you!

When you reach out to Dear Kathryn, you’re getting more than just pretty paper, you’re getting me. Every inquiry, every sketch, every tiny wax seal is handled with intention, and yes, my full attention. As a one-woman studio, I pour my heart into every project I take on, which means you’re never passed off to a team or left wondering who’s behind the inbox.

I believe your wedding stationery should feel like you—not just in color or font, but in the feeling it creates when someone opens that envelope. It’s not about checking a box or picking a design off a shelf. It’s about telling a story, setting the tone, and creating a first impression your guests will remember long after the day itself.

So whether you’re dreaming up a fully custom suite or falling in love with one of my curated designs, I’m here to make sure your experience feels seamless, thoughtful, and joy-filled from start to finish.

I’ve got so much to show you…

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
