If you want things done right, sometimes you just have to do them yourself.

That’s why Kelley Lilien designed her first son’s birth announcement (it helped that she had a fresh graphic design degree in hand) instead of farming it out to an impersonal card maker.

And when word spread, a new surprise arrived – a booming custom invitation design business she soon named Pink Dot Press. With her baby in a bassinette at her side, Kelley designed her heart out, not only tackling birth announcements but baby showers, grown-up parties and full wedding portfolios – from save the date cards to place settings – and for clients not only on O‘ahu, where her business started, but all over the country.

Unlike other stationers who work with set templates, Pink Dot creations are one of a kind and only about you. Even if you like a design in her online portfolio, she’ll use that only as a starting place, so expect follow up phone calls and emails with hundreds of questions to help Kelley form a rounded portrait of your unique story – whether a favorite song, adored color, beloved idol, or a savvy sense of humor.

So personal, it’s almost like you designed it yourself.

Only much, much better.
