Wedding Stationery in Hawaii

As promised, today I have a couple of very different, yet equally great Stationery designers and distributers. I am always more than thrilled to showcase vendors that operate locally in Hawaii. It is admittedly harder to find wedding vendors here in Hawaii in comparison to other major cities like San Francisco and New York, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t exist! Enjoy these pictures and take a look at their websites for even more great ideas for invitations, place cards, thank you notes and all the accessories you need.

Emi Ink by Stacey Emi Shiroma is an adorable line of hand-made (yes, really hand-made) invitations with intricate details and fantastic designs. They are sorted by influence (ie. Asian Inspired, Island Inspired, etc.) She has a ready-made line to choose from, but I think the greatest beauty of Emi’s work is that they are so highly personable. She does custom work based upon the ideas that you will find on her website, and it is just adorable. Rhinestones, paper cut-outs and whimsical fonts are everywhere and these invitations are truly unique. I had the treat of looking at an entire display from the Emi Ink collection, and I just couldn’t get enough of it. Seriously, browse around this website – it’s wonderful!

Another plus is that because everything is hand-made, invitations are sold individually. So, if you are having a more intimate wedding and just don’t need to buy 100 invitations at a time, here is your solution! Each item on the Emi Ink website is priced for individual sale (something that you very rarely see in the stationery world) and since we commonly deal with couples who have smaller-scale guests lists, Emi Ink is a great find – both visually and practically!


"Kathryn" from the "Romantic" Collection and "Posh" from the "Contemporary" Collection


"Daisy" from the "Whimsical" Collection and "Alana" from the "Island-Inspired" Collection


"Keiko" from the "Asian-Inspired" Collection and "Cherish" from the "Contemporary" Collection

Our other featured company today is A Touch of Elegance, a Carlson Craft Company with a studio here in Honolulu! They print many of their designs here, and bring in what seems like endless amounts of other stationery from the mainland and elsewhere. Their website is extremely user-friendly and you can personalize and order your invitations directly from the website! There is a wide price range, starting from under $100.00 for 100 invitations to over $500.00 for 100 invitations, and there is no guessing here – the prices are listed for purchase and there are multiple images of each product.

The variety that A Touch of Elegance provides is unlike anything I have seen locally. These are quality materials and beautiful designs which are easily accessible and affordable.


"Purple Romance," "Silhouette," and "Simple Love"


"Cucumbers and Melons," "Elegant Edge" and "Gathered Together"


"Maple Breeze" and "Red Velvet"

Hi Martina,

Great information, excellent post, and glad to see you blogging. I finally got into the whole thing myself in addition to running My New Daycare .com.

I know I do need to call you back at some point. I'm not not returning your calls on purpose...I promise! :)
