Every couple plans differently, which is why I offer three distinct design experiences. From Print-Ready suites you can personalize online, to Semi-Custom designs with guided refinement, to Fully Custom invitations designed from the ground up. Each path is guided by experience and designed to make the process feel clear, calm, and beautifully handled.

You’re not just choosing a design—you’re choosing experienced guidance at every step. I bring decades of creative leadership, hands-on printing knowledge, and a deep understanding of the behind-the-scenes details that can easily trip couples up—from timing and paper choices to postage and mailing logistics. Whether we work together one-on-one or you select a
print-ready suite, you’ll receive clear direction, thoughtful recommendations, and designs created to work beautifully in the real world. My goal is for the entire process to feel calm, intentional, and confidently handled from start to finish.

the turnage + watts difference is simple

Working with Cari on our wedding stationery was an absolute dream. She truly was the nicest and most patient person throughout the entire process, making what could have been a stressful task feel completely effortless. The final stationery was not only exactly what we had envisioned, but the quality was also fantastic. Her services were truly above and beyond, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We highly recommend Cari for her incredible talent and exceptional service!

I believe your stationery should be intentionally beautiful and completely suited to you.

Whether we’re crafting a fully bespoke suite or you choose a print-ready option, every design reflects a balance of style and real-world know-how. Because invitations are more than pretty paper. They’re the very first impression your guests receive.

“I absolutely cannot say enough wonderful things about Cari, the talented designer behind Turnage & Watts. She designed the most beautiful invitation suite for me, totally bringing my vision to life with so much patience and enthusiasm. She offered so many creative ideas and personal touches that I didn’t even think of!

Love Notes!

“Cari was such a pleasure to work with. She took the time to learn about us, and made our invitations feel unique and personal to our own wedding story. We loved how the invitations, placecards, and signs turned out for the wedding. Everything was wonderful!”

— Jackie & Alex

Love Notes!

From start to finish, Cari made this one of the most enjoyable aspects of the wedding planning process. She encouraged me to share the inspiration behind our special day while also providing her own creative and unique spin on it. The results absolutely surpassed anything I was hoping for. I also cannot say enough good things about how helpful and sweet Cari was, answering any questions I had along the way. Cari went above and beyond. 
— brittany + Joe


Love Notes!

Cari is a literal angel and was the most calming and kind, professional and patient artist to work with! She designed gorgeous bespoke letterpress for our invitations/detail cards/envelopes/etc. and really went above and beyond on all deliverables. She listened to my input & had fun with the design. I hope that I require formal stationary again soon so that we can work together again.
— Gina Morrone

Love Notes!

SUCH an amazing person to work with! From the very beginning, Cari has been so kind and open to working with me to achieve the invitation suite of my dreams. She's SUPER detail oriented and the work she made was absolutely beautiful! 10/10, I can't recommend her enough!
— Caitlin Mirano

Love Notes!

I cannot even describe how wonderful it was to work with Cari throughout the entire wedding planning process!  Cari was able to seamlessly incorporate our entire theme throughout each piece she designed. Everything was so unique, from our 2-sided Save-the-Dates, to a watercolor of our venue inside the envelopes of our invitations, even down to creating cocktail napkins that featured our beloved pup that were used on the day of the wedding!
— Courtney Taylor

Love Notes!

Highly recommend Turnage & Watts for your wedding stationary needs! Cari made sure each and every step of our wedding stationary was carefully planned & absolutely exceptional! She brought my dreams to life!
