Meet Terri

Your creative partner for invitations that feel like you.

If you’re the kind of couple who notices the details—the weight of the paper, the wording of each line, the feeling it leaves with your guests—you’re in the right place.

Hi, I’m Terri, designer, aesthete, and your advocate for invitations that feel like you. I have a particular love for weddings rooted in place — the family lake home, the childhood cabin, the Minnesota summer that means something.

And if you’re like me, you believe paper invitations still matter. In the formality. In the traditions worth preserving. In the quiet ritual of checking the mailbox. In a fast-paced digital world, it feels grounding to slow down… to hold something in your hands that was created with intention.

With a background in interior design and nearly two decades of working with different styles, always asking “what if?”, I bring that same curiosity and creative eye into every invitation suite.

My style is approachable yet elevated—think blue jeans with a Chanel jacket.

What does that mean for you? An experience where every detail is anticipated, and nothing is left for you to manage.

MY APPROACH

Working with me feels like having someone in your corner who already knows what matters.

From our first conversation to the final mailing, I guide the process so it feels clear, organized, and surprisingly relaxed. You won’t be left wondering what comes next or trying to piece it together on your own.

So you can focus on everything else that matters.

The details behind the details

Scorpio. Former Little Miss Bemidji (yes, really). Fell for my husband in 6th-grade band.


Obsessed with flossing, vanilla Costco cake, and early mornings.
Dream life? Paris, my family, and Victoria Beckham’s closet.

Most surprising fact? I’m a messy creative at heart — though you’d never guess it from the perfectly styled invitation suites I deliver.

Life is full, a little cheeky, and always centered around creating beauty in the everyday — the same spirit I bring to every invitation I design.

If this feels like something you’ve been looking for—even if you didn’t know it existed—I’d love to hear more about your wedding.

You don’t need to have everything figured out—that’s what I’m here for.
