Courtney Callahan Paper

Who knew I/​we would care about the look and feel of paper. Turns out we do. More than we ever thought. And likely more than we will ever will again. And I say that as a person who has taken an intro to letterpress class. Twice.
We worked with Courtney for the designs for our wedding (Invitations + day of materials) and the end product was just gorgeous. We came with basically an idea of color scheme, the lint in our pockets and a visceral reaction to things we don’t like and not much else. Courtney did a good job of reading us and helping us to find the right combinations of paper, materials and designs to create the overall aesthetic we were looking for.
After meeting us Courtney designed an original logo that we used for all the materials for our wedding. Which turned out real rad. So now we have a brand. Which is pretty badass. Do you have a brand? I didn’t think so.
Her original ideas were great, and we had tons of builds, which meant, we had lots of back and forth on the designs. Courtney was great in rolling with the punches and providing updated designs to us.
Her approach is both creative and professional and the end results were a reflection of that approach as well as our style. Plus she helped us to deliver my own personal easter egg for the wedding guests, on each table card was an absurd thought starter questions like, «If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do the rest of them have to drown too?» So thanks Courtney, you’re welcome guests.

Courtney is an amazing artist and brings your vision to life for any paper goods you need. We decided to use Courtney for our Save the Dates, Invitations, Day of Paper, and Thank Yous.
I came to her with photos and a few ideas of what I wanted and she was able to take my vision and turn it into beautiful paper goods. We loved our Save the Dates and we got so much buzz from our guests who were excited to see the Invitation Suite. Courtney designed the most beautiful invitation suite combining vibrant color, gold foil, hand dyed silk ribbons, and rich luxe paper. The invites were truly works of art and we loved them so much. We got so many compliments :)
Courtney helped carry out her beautiful design into our wedding day with our ceremony programs, escort cards, menus, signage, welcome bags, cocktail napkins, bathroom towels, and favor bags. She went the extra mile for us and everything came together so perfectly.
Courtney was so easy to work with. She always responded to emails in a timely fashion and always answered any questions I had. Our consultation meeting was great and she really works hard to make your vision come to life. I highly recommend using Courtney to handle the paper for your wedding or any other event.

We used Courtney for our Save the Dates, Invitations, Rehersal Invites, Thank You’s and day-​of escort cards, table signs and signage — we couldn’t have been happier. We received so many compliments on all of our items thanks to Courtney.
We opted to have everything digitally addressed, which Courtney coordinated through our vendor. When they came back slightly misaligned Courtney quickly took them back, had them reprinted and sent all 180 invitations our herself.
We can’t thank her enough!

Courtney helped us with all of our paper good needs for our 10÷5÷13 wedding at the St. Louis Zoo. We met Courtney through out wedding planner (Katie for Simply & Forever) and right away she was the perfect match for us! Like me, Courtney is a Chicago transplant from St. Louis, so we had lots of things to talk about and totally understood our venue and needs.
She was very accomidating to work with. One of the most important features in a vendor! She was super responsive in every form: email, text, calls, meetings, etc. I really wanted my husband’s input on our invitations, but in order to do so, I needed to provide him with examples– talking in the abstract was too challenging. Courtney helped us create our unique Save The Date and invitation and thank you after going through a number of color tones and font options. She was very creative and positive throughout the whole process.
She was also easy to talk to and broke down the prices for us in a way that made the world of fancy wedding invitations less daunting. Courtney’s sense of style is clear in the work she did for us– she was a real treat to work with and highly recommend her to anyone looking for A+ service at a reasonable price! We are so lucky to have found her!

My husband and I worked with Courtney thinking she would just do our Save the Dates and our invitations, She met with us in our home, shared tons of samples, and listened to our style and opinion. She quickly gave us numerous designs to choose from, took our feedback, adjusted some things and came back with our dream invitations!
Throughout the rest of the planning process she was able to design so many other items to make the entire wedding coordinated and amazing! From cake topper flags, to «hear comes to bride» pennants for our nephews to carry, to a customized dj booth sign, to ombré placecards– everything was exactly what we wanted and more than I could have dreamed of. One of my fears was being able to make everything «go together» and thankfully Courtney was there with her expertise and excellent taste to help make suggestions.
Thank you Courtney!

We used Courtney for our wedding invitations and could not have been happier with how they turned out. She was always quick to respond during the design process, and she was willing to work with me on any minor detail I wanted to change. In addition to our wedding invitations, she made me personalized stationary I used for my shower thank you notes, our wedding ceremony programs, table cards for everyone at our reception and personalized stationary with our married name for our wedding thank yous! Each piece complimented each other so well and she had phenomenal design ideas, and gave so many examples of fonts and paper that it was 100% our own customized look. She worked with me to even make sure the INSIDE our of wedding envelopes looked perfect! Everything arrived in time for our wedding and looked flawless. I would HIGHLY recommend using her for any wedding or stationary needs! She is so easy to work with and has such high quality products!

I reached out to Courtney a few times. She said she would get back to me and never did. Pretty bad customer service, especially given the amount I was going to spend. My personal opinion and that if you don’t want my money, I am sure I will find someone else who does and who I don’t have to follow up with 10 times to get a response. Went elsewhere and am much happier!

I am excited to be the inaugural post on Courtney’s Unilocal page! :)
I cannot say enough about Courtney. My husband and I used her for all our wedding paper needs from the save the dates to place cards. Courtney goes above and beyond for her clients and I could not have been happier with what she delivered. Courtney’s creativity and professionalism made her a pleasure to work with and I wish her the best in her business endeavors! Thank you Courtney!!!

Courtney recently designed invitations for my wedding, and I simply can’t say enough about her! From our first meeting, Courtney was an absolute joy to work with. She is incredibly responsive, attentive, and thorough, not to mention fantastically talented at designing the perfect invitation to fit your event. During my consultation with Courtney, I provided her with many inarticulate ideas for what I wanted my invitations to look like, and was shocked and delighted when she was able to create a gorgeous invitation with precisely the style I had tried (and failed!) to describe. Courtney strikes the perfect balance between being creative and detail-​oriented; artistic and professional. Not only is her work amazing, but Courtney made the entire «invitation experience» fun, enjoyable, and hassle-​free. I will absolutely recommend her services to anyone and everyone I know!
