Essentials

Essentials added custom wedding invitations to their offerings in 2006, evolving with the handmade and DIY movement. The company provides in-store design and printing services, guiding couples from save-the-dates through day-of wedding materials. Their services span the full invitation suite including save-the-dates, invitation packages, envelope addressing, wedding favors, menus, programs, and escort cards. All items can be printed and customized to client specifications. Essentials partners with several companies including BT Elements, Crane & Co, Designer's Fine Letterpress, Envelopments, Lucky Onion Seeded Invites, Real Card Design Studio, Tag & Co, William Arthur, and Kleinfeld Paper. They also operate their own in-house brand, Myrtle Square Press, for more personalized custom projects. Owner and designer Colette Katsikas meets with clients by appointment for complimentary consultations. These scheduled appointments ensure dedicated time to focus on each couple's specific needs and interests. The store is located in Northampton and can be reached by phone or email to arrange a consultation.
