Working With The Invitation Maven
When I am first introduced to new clients, the first questions many ask is “what books do you work out of?” and “how do you work?” I understand where the first question comes from: many people don’t think that custom invitations are an option, perhaps because of a preconceived notion that custom invitations are always expensive.

Here are a few reasons why hiring the Invitation Maven will be one of the best decisions you can make. Since your event starts the moment your guests ...
Choose the Right Fonts to Set the Tone
Fonts are more than just words on a page. Every font conveys a different mood or feeling.

Designing Custom Postage for Your Invitation
When I design custom invitations, I offer to design custom postage for my clients to complete the look of their invitation package. The party starts when the guests open their invitations, so setting the tone of the party with the invitation is important. But even before the envelope is opened, the first impression the guest has of the invitation is what’s on the outside. The use of a custom stamp completes the look of the invitation package, and is a fun and inexpensive way to let the recipient know that every detail counts. The guest will think “If the invitation packing is ...
Invitation Postage
When I design custom invitations, planning your invitation postage is an important part of the process, and something I can help with. As if designing an invitation package isn’t hard enough for some of my clients, many of them are stumped when it comes time to figure out the postage. There are several things you should keep in mind: the size, weight and even the shape of the envelope all have to be considered, not to mention remembering that postage has to be included on the response envelope. Several of these items can be determined ahead of time. The U.S. Postal ...
About The Invitation Maven
Hi! My name is Marlene Widawer, but I’m also known as the “Invitation Maven.” Maven means “expert” in Yiddish. Well, I don’t know if I’m such an expert, but I just love designing custom invitations because they are what get the party started. I also love working with people, and my passion is to make all my clients’ dreams come true.
I’ve been designing invitations for more than 15 years. What started out as a hobby quickly turned into a passion that I wanted to share with others. I have expanded my design capabilities and work with a variety of design platforms and products, and I love to create that one-of-a-kind invitation that reflects my client’s unique style and personality.
Whether I’m designing a bar or bat mitzvah invitation, a wedding or bridal shower invitation, a baby announcement, or a birthday party invitation, my goal is to merge my clients’ personal style with the party theme to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience for all.
All my work is custom, and I use the highest quality materials and latest design trends to not only create an invitation to an event, but to also create a work of art. I encourage you to look at my samples and to join my email list to keep informed about my current design projects. Get to know me, and I’m sure you’ll learn about my attention to detail and my passion for my work.
I look forward to meeting you soon to help you design the perfect party of your dreams!
