Swell Press Co. is beyond talented!
Their creativity, professionalism and attention to detail helped execute the most amazing save the dates, invites and day of signage for the wedding weekend of our dreams. 10/10 would recommend this talented team!
Britt and Caroline did an exceptional job with our save the dates and formal invitations. They were responsive, knowledgeable, and extremely patient with me. I even messed up a few times with submitting my guest list and Caroline was still so accommodating and sweet about it. The finished products were gorgeous and I received so many compliments about how classy and well thought out my stationary was. If you are still shopping around for a stationary vendor, then look no further. Swell Press is the way to go 100%.
Britt and Caroline were absolutely the best to work with. Every piece they created for my wedding was perfect. They are so fun and creative. I can't get over how amazing everything was.
I'm convinced there's not a stationer in the world who is more creative, kind, responsive or fun to work with. Britt and Caroline were incredible in designing and creating our wedding invitation and day-of paper suite. They were receptive to feedback and always willing to tweak or provide different colors/concepts to fit our vision, plus they were ready and able to propose their own creative ideas! We received more compliments about the paper (rightfully so) than any other facet of our wedding. From invitations to menus to acrylic bar signs and table numbers, Swell should absolutely top your list when considering vendors to work with. We'll cherish our paper forever!
Britt and her team are incredible. They are extremely communicative, thorough, organized, kind, dedicated to their beautiful work and totally invested in making sure my fiancé and I are happy with everything. I’m so thankful that I discovered Swell Press. Cannot say enough good things about them.
It was a dream to work with Swell Press, and Britt and her team were beyond incredible to work with. Their unique designs, attention to detail, care, and understanding throughout the entire process separate them from the rest. It was by far one of the biggest highlights of planning our wedding 💗. We are so grateful to Swell Press for making our invitation dreams come true!
I worked with Swell Press for my wedding invitations, and not only were they personally amazing to work with and made the process so fun and special, but the invitations were breathtaking.
I’ve messaged them many times since then to say I wish I had another special event coming up so I could work with them again.
You cannot go wrong with Swell Press!
S’well Press is BRILLIANT. Britt is a dream designer who totally got our vision and delivered exceptional quality and unique custom designs. Everyone said our invitations and day of signs were the best they’d ever seen. If you can work with her: do it!! Best decision we made in our wedding planning
Britt and her team are brilliant and an absolute joy to work with! They designed our save the dates, wedding invites, programs, his & her drink signs, seating chart, everything printed they designed! It was was so unique and encapsulated the essence of of our wedding so well. 10/10 would use them again.
Simply put - a wonderful experience from start to finish! I would recommend Britt and her team to anyone even if they aren't from California like myself. I used Swell Press for our save the dates after finally figuring out where a save the date I had pinned years ago on Pinterest originated from (the Polaroid Save the Dates). Not only were our save the dates perfect, but the entire communication experience with Britt's team was seamless and enjoyable. As you can see from all the other raving 5-star reviews, Swell Press is an incredible company. Don't let one bad apple (bad review) keep you from hiring them. When all other reviews are 5-stars, odds are, Swell Press wasn't the problem. 100% recommend this company!
Britt and her team are amazing. The entire process is very seamless and it is so clear how much they care about each individual invitation. Everyone you speak with is polite and invests their time to make sure you are getting exactly what you like. Swell press’s creativity is unmatched and they are constantly coming out with new unique designs to make your invitations feel like your own. I received countless complements on my save the dates and truly cannot stop looking at how beautiful it is. Take a look at their Instagram. You will be sold immediately!!!
I could not recommend Britt and the swell press team more! After an unfortunate situation with another company, Britt took over and brought our vision to life by showing up the most stunningly creative ideas for all of our weekend of pieces. Aside from her insane talent, Britt has the most incredible energy, exactly the kind of people you want to be working with during this stressful yet fun planning time. If you want to wow your guests with the most gorgeous and unique menus, invites, itineraries etc then Britt is your girl. I will always go back to swell for any and all things paper from now on!!
We used Britt and the Swell Press team for our save the dates and wedding invitations. To this day, I am so grateful we had the opportunity to work with this responsive and wonderfully creative team. I loved the finished products so much, we had them framed and are on display in our home. I would choose Swell Press again and again.
We worked with Britt and her swell press team for our invite sweet for our wedding along with other signage for our wedding venue. To say we were impressed would be an understatement. Britt and her team we’re beyond incredible from start to finish. They were professional so hard-working and stared it within our timeframe, which was a tight one! They made all of our dreams become reality and worked with us to create a custom and individualized invitation sweet. We cannot recommend them enough to any wedding couple. They are such a gem to house in the Southbay 💗💗💗
I use Swell for so many of my clients and just knew I had to use them for my own special day. They care about the details and are always open to feedback and edits to get the design and vision exactly right.
Can’t recommend them enough and the experience creating together is next level!
Britt and her team made my wedding paper process a dream!
I am so thankful to have decided to go with her team for all my wedding paper needs. I had been a fan of her work for a long time and was debating doing my own invitations. I am so glad that I didn't and that I reached out. The invitations were my absolute dream come true. They set the perfect tone for our event. I recommend Swell Press to all of my friends!
It would be impossible to say enough good things about my year+ of working with Britt, Caroline and the entire Swell Press team. From save the dates to our invitation suite all the way through till on site signage and stationery, the experience and the creative output was top notch. Our guests raved about how everything SP produced was more than invitations but rather pieces of art. We treasure their work and their incredible customer service as one of the very best parts of our wedding planning experience!
Swell Press is THE BEST!!!!! If you have the opportunity to work with them, I guarantee you will be blown away. There are no words to even begin to describe what a dream and privilege it has been to work with Britt and the amazing Swell Press team. I have worked with Britt and her team for 3 years now - including three save the dates, two full invitation suites, and one Christmas card. Working with Swell Press could not be a more wonderful experience from start to finish - Britt is unbelievably creative, responsive, and timely. She takes immense pride in her work and the quality of everything she has ever created for me has exceeded my expectations. She goes above and beyond to take care of her clients and create an amazing experience from start to finish. I couldn’t imagine a better experience than working with Britt and Swell Press - it was the highlight of our entire wedding planning journey.
Used swell press for our save the date cards And wedding invitations. Trusted them fully with designs, colors, everything, and we loved the results. Highest level of professionalism and quality. Britt and her team are true artists, it was a privilege to work with them.
Britt, Caroline, and Fleming were a dream to work with! I used them for invitations including RSVP cards, as well as day-of paper products and thank-you notes. I wanted floral, but veryyy clean/modern, which they pulled off so well! They even last-minute took on our rehearsal invites with my mother-in-law. Couldn’t have asked for anything more!
Swell Press is truly the best of the best! I could not recommend Britt + team more. From the start of the process to the end, she went above and beyond. With very little direction, she brought our vision to life. Everything was perfect. The proofs came and it was impossible to choose they were all so amazing. Britt is so incredibly talented, I would confidently recommended Swell Press to anyone.
The best in the business by far. Creative, responsive, easy to work with. Understood my vision perfectly and came up with amazing designs for our invites and day of goods.
I had the pleasure of working with Britt & team for a couple projects - my sister's baby shower and my 40th birthday bash. From start to finish, it was a seemless and enjoyable experience. More importantly, the invites were STUNNING! The vision and execution of my 40th invitations blew me away. So cutting edge and unique; I literally teared up when I received the final pieces. If you're looking for beautiful, bespoke invitations, look no further. Can't wait to work with Swell Press on future projects.
I’m so incredibly happy that we chose to work with Swell Press for our wedding invites. They put so much hard work, detail, and love into our invites and they were everything I wanted and more. It was also so much fun to design the invites with them! The whole process from start to finish was, well, pretty swell! I’ve been dying to have another event just so I can order from them again.
Britt and Swell Press are the absolute best in the business. I recommend Britt to every bride. She was so thoughtful in listening to what my husband and I wanted and helping us find a way to make it all happen. From sending us samples to creating our dream ombré neon save the dates, invitation suite with perfect neon edge painting, and designing and printing all of our weekend of materials, no details was missed.
Her Instagram page is also what letter press dreams are made of.
I am so grateful for everything Swell Press did to make our wedding perfect and miss being able to see Britt when I picked up my materials so anxiously awaiting her retail shop to open to pay her a visit again!
Swell Press is the best of the best! Britt has hand selected the most amazing team members that execute every job to perfection. They all go above & beyond when tasked with some tricky print work that gets thrown their way. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Swell Press on many jobs that have required a lot of skill & precision, & the work comes out clean & impeccable every single time. Britt’s eye for color is incredible & I’m always on the edge of my seat to see what she’s going to come up with next!
Working with Swell Press has been an absolute dream in every way. Britt, Caroline and the entire team have been wonderful: always responsive, enthusiastic, and professional. I knew I wanted to work with Swell Press after falling in love with their insanely gorgeous and unique designs online, but it's been their demeanor and expertise throughout the design process that has exceeded all of my expectations. They are simply wonderful human beings and I'm so excited to see my Save The Date and Invitations come to life. Thank you Swell Press!
We couldn’t be happier with the save the dates we worked on with Swell Press! They were super easy to work with, communicated with us throughout the process, and brought our vision to life. We gave their team our general thoughts about the type of design we wanted and they took care of the rest, giving us a number of options to choose from (we loved them all)! The whole experience was super easy and our save the dates are well worth the money. Our guests are already telling us how much they love them.
The team is very professional and you can tell they have a lot of experience while also making sure each client feels heard and supported.
I recommend using Swell Press 100%!
I don’t even know where to start. Working will Swell Press was an absolute dream from start to finish. Britt and her team somehow have this magic ability to create unique, trendy yet timeless designs that had my guests beyond excited for our wedding. Britt went above and beyond throughout the entire save the date and invite process. Oh, and did I mention the day of goods were unmatched (and produced on a TIGHT timeline). Britt and her team are flexible, professional and fun - what more could you ask for?! Working with Swell Press was an absolute highlight of the wedding planning process, I’m actually sad it’s over. I wish we could do it all over again and create more magic. 10/10 would hire Swell Press again!
Britt is quite literally the most innovative, creative and intuitive designer. After a consultation, she delivered the most thoughtful and beautiful design options and we have never felt more heard or understood as clients. During the process, she went above and beyond to make sure it was absolutely perfect. I truly have no idea how she comes up with the ideas she does, she is a brilliant mind and we feel so lucky to work with her. I can't recommend her enough.
I used Swell Press for my wedding invitations, and I can say without any hesitation, USE THEM! Not only was I blown away with my semi-custom invitations, but I have gotten so many compliments from my wedding guests about them. They worked with me and my very distinct tastes and created an absolute masterpiece! The quality is incredible, and they are honestly less expensive than I would have guessed for such a time consuming product! Nothing but fantastic things to say about Swell Press!
I have used Britt for a few projects now, for multiple invitations, stationery, and letterpress needs, and there is a reason everyone goes to her! Britt and her team are the best in the business. Her eye is incredible, she creates ACTUAL magic from my very basic ideas, and is incredibly transparent when it comes to what is possible and how the overall vision will come to life. I recommend her to every single client who needs invitations and other wedding day paper goods. Swell press is the best investment you'll make to set the tone for your wedding or special event!
We used Swell Press for our save the dates and our invites. For our save the dates, they were relatively easy to work with, though they had contracted out the work to another letterpresser. She was great, though, and understood our vision and was able to deliver a semi-custom design relatively quickly. Our invites were a disaster. First, we shared a vision and that vision was taken super literally (bright colors, pinks, greens, match the save the dates) and the proofs were literally embarrassing to look at, to the point that I was shocked that anyone who had more than 1 month of experience in this space would share a proof that looked like that. When we understood that they needed literal instructions (make this, this shape; make this, this color) - which, by the way, we were paying thousands of dollars to essentially do the same thing we could have done on Minted - we finally got to a place that I was semi-happy with though maybe I was still delusional paying $2K+ for 100 invites. Despite using the exact same colors as our save the dates, when our invites came, they were NOT metallic colors though anyone with a brain would have asked "do you mean metallic" when you say "gold and silver" colors. I don't know if they've taken on too many projects this year but I am so disappointed in the work they've done and can't recommend enough to STAY. AWAY. from SwellPress. Save the heartache and find another letterpress company who will actually review their work...or just go with Minted, for the love of god. This was the most disappointing experience we had during the planning of our wedding, hands down.
I truly had the best experience with the Swell Press Team and love my wedding invitations SO much! Britt and Caroline were quick to respond, kind, helpful and willing to work within limitations of me being an International client. I had a very specific vision in mind and Swell Press definitely executed. I highly recommend Swell Press to all brides and really anyone who wants letterpress work. The Team went above and beyond and I will cherish their work forever.
Caroline and Britt went above and beyond for our invitations. They came out so perfectly. We unfortunately weren't able to use them because our wedding was postponed due to COVID .. they were so supportive during the whole process and helped design a digital invite instead. So wonderful to work with. Made the process so smooth and fun! Could not recommend Swell Press more!
OHMYGOSH I can not recommend Brit and her staff enough. She brought our invitation dreams to life! We had a smaller budget than probably most of her clients but she was still able to work with us to provide us a stunning final product. We had so many compliments on our invites.
Where to even begin! Britt and her team are so incredibly talented, their work is truly one of a kind. A million thanks for making my vision come to life not only for our save the dates, but entire wedding suite as well. You are a brilliant designer! Not only was Britt a breeze to work with, Caroline was also so kind and helpful throughout the MANY emails over the last few months. I will recommend you and your team to everyone
I know. THANK YOU!
The best decision I made throughout my wedding planning process was choosing Swell Press for all of my paper goods. The moment I got engaged I knew I wanted Swell to design my invitations, as I had been in awe of their gorgeous designs for a long time. Turns out, there's truly no better company to work with, thanks to the fabulous women of Swell who make it all possible. I worked with Swell's owner, Britt, and her team (Caroline and Kate) for more than a year to brainstorm, design, revise, and execute save the dates, a wedding suite, day-of menus and favor tags. Each element was absolutely stunning and the final products far exceeded my wildest expectations. Looking back, no matter how stressful or frustrating wedding planning proved to be, Britt and her team were always available and optimistic. Britt's patience and creativity were reliably endless, and she not only redefines professionalism, but sets the bar for what small businesses should strive to achieve. If you're looking for truly special, custom invitation, I cannot recommend Swell Press and her wonderful team highly enough.
Britt and her team were absolutely amazing. She worked with me and my mom to create a custom design that went through multiple iterations. The final product is exactly what I wanted! She and Caroline were always quick to respond with a positive and professional attitude. Britt also found me an amazing calligrapher when my original person fell through last minute. I would recommend Britt and her team to anyone and hope to work with them again soon.
Britt is extremely talented and made my dream wedding invitations!! She is so creative and provided such great input and a variety of options, layouts and designs. I had a very specific vision, and she worked very closely with me to design our wedding invitations and inserts, rehearsal dinner invitations, welcome party invitations, programs, welcome tote bags and welcome bag notes. She is a true artist and her work is of the highest caliber. We were in a bit of a rush, but as a writer and artist, I really wanted our paper items to reflect our personalities and the themes of the wedding weekend. Britt got that right of the bat and helped me fine-tune our ideas into a cohesive suite. She went above and beyond by reaching out to an artist whose work I had highlighted on my Pinterest inspiration board. Britt was able to get the artist to grant us rights to use her work for our envelope liners on our invitations. Britt’s letterpress talents are impressive, and we loved how she incorporated a spectrum of ombre colors to match our theme. My personal favorite was her idea to blind-emboss constellations in the background of our invitations. She worked closely with me to make sure the designs matched the copy I wrote, and she was extremely responsive. Our theme was “Stars Align & Hearts Combine” and I can wholeheartedly say that our invitations reflect our cosmic vision. Our invitations are to be framed and will hang on our wall as they are truly a work of art. Having matching tote bags for all of our guests was such a unique touch and really special. I am so grateful to Britt for all of her hard work; she made our dreams a reality!!
