No less than the queen bee of wedding planning herself, Martha Stewart, recommends this production house for its fantastic wedding invitations. With frequent mentions in Stewart’s glossy Weddings magazine, nearly 50 per cent of Pantry Press’s orders come from the U.S. Invitations become miniature works of art in the hands of graphic designers Julie Gibb and Christian Morrison. From typeface to choice of paper stock, everything is customized. The paper is hand-fed into a vintage printing press; even the ink is mixed by hand and can be matched to any colour swatch. The finishing touch: completed orders (wait time is four to six weeks) are wrapped like Christmas gifts and adorned with ribbons from Mokuba and Masterstroke. Ready-made invitations are also available (package of five, $10.50).
