About this vendor
Hi there, I'm Jenny, the designer behind Design That Flies, my boutique wedding stationery company.
Are you feeling overwhelmed with all the options out there for wedding invitations? Or do you have a certain idea in mind but cannot find the perfect invitation that fits? You have come to the right spot!
With my 8+ years of experience designing for hundreds of couples, I am here to help you navigate the often confusing waters of wedding stationery. I love helping my couples figure out what they would like and create the invitation that best fits their style and wedding day.
Whether you are looking for a contemporary design, a classic design or anything in between, I love the challenge and I promise your invitations will be unique, artful and timeless. They will be a perfect intro giving your guests the first glimpse into your wedding day and also a memento from your wedding day that you can cherish for years to come.
The design process is my favorite and I really enjoy getting to know my couples. I strive to make the process stress free, creative and fun. I offer a lot of different printing methods – foil, letterpress, thermography, laser printing and digital printing. No worries if you do not know the differences between all the methods…I will go through them in detail. I print on high quality card stock, acrylic, vellum and even wood! I have a fine art background and studied painting and I love adding illustrations and different painting elements in my designs as well.
For the wedding day and events surrounding the wedding, I also create Save The Dates, event invitations, Thank you cards, place cards, signage, programs, labels, coasters, menus…anything paper! I offer discounted custom packages if you would like me to design more than one item. As far as pricing in general, I do not post the pricing because it varies depending on what each client needs. There are lots of options and I work with a variety of budgets.
Are you ready to take the first step? I am currently taking initial consultations via phone for 2021 and 2022 weddings. During the meeting, we will chat about your wedding and invitation/stationery ideas and I will go through the personalized design process and all the options with you. The initial consultation is free and non-obligatory.
Feel free to message any questions you might have or to set up a time.
Looking forward to meeting you!

Jennifer was an absolute DREAM to work with! She did an incredible job creating not only our invites but also a number of signs, place cards, and table numbers for our big day. The...
y all looked amazing and she was so quick to respond to our emails, make revisions, and get us all of our things on time (even with us needing a quick turnaround time for some of them!). We could not have asked for a better person to work with, we are so grateful to Jennifer for all her hard work and sharing her amazing talents with us, and we couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone getting married or needing invites and signage of any kind!
We had a terrific experience working with Jenny Silva at Design That Flies. We worked with Design That Flies for a full suite of wedding day stationery: invitations, menus, signage...
, escort cards, matchbooks, and thank you cards. Jenny was super responsive, communicative, and professional. Her prices (including design, printing, and shipping) were very transparent and competitive - comparable to the big wedding websites - but we got designs unique to us and much higher in quality. She listened to what we wanted for design, suggested wording to get us started, sent us digital proofs to approve for every design and physical paper options to select from for invites and envelopes, and allowed unlimited revisions. All of our designs arrived on time and in perfect condition. I would highly recommend Design That Flies!
Jenny did such an amazing job creating our wedding invitations for our wedding. She is very creative, detail oriented, and professional. Jenny listened to our ideas and made our vi...
sion come to life in our final product. She sent digital and hard copy samples of our invitations first to ensure we liked the design and paper. We absolutely loved our final product and working with Jenny. I highly recommend Jenny for your wedding invitations!
Jenny was more than AMAZING! Our wedding was Disney Princess inspired and we wanted our guests to experience the theme starting with the Save the Dates and Invites (not just on the...
wedding day). I absolutely enjoyed our video chats, bouncing ideas off of each other, receiving the samples, and ESPECIALLY bringing all the ideas along with the little details to life! She was patient and over communicated throughout the entire process which I thoroughly enjoyed. I 10/10 would recommend working with Jenny.. I feel her options were limitless and she definitely has a passion for this work which definitely showed in the finish product!
Jennifer from Design that Flies was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was able to take our abstract idea of our zoo themed invitations and design an invitation that was absol...
utely stunning. She was responsive to our requests and gave us the flexibility to adjust based on changes that arose during the planning process. She kept us informed during the entire process, and we knew up front what to expect after our initial meeting because she developed a timeline based on when we wanted to have the invitations sent out. She kept us informed during the entire process and was always quick to notify us if an issue came up, and had several solutions on hand for us to choose from to resolve the issue. Our finished invitations were better than we could have even hoped for!
Jenny was absolutely the best person to work with for our wedding stationary! She note only designed our wedding programs, but also created our menus, name place-cards, table numbe...
rs, and small signage. When we initially shared our ideas with her, she was incredibly supportive and made it clear that she would ensure that everything came out as we hoped. We were thrilled with her first designs, which just shows that she 100% understood our vision from the start. Over the few months that we worked together, my partner and I made several requests (and changed our mind about a variety of details) and Jenny was always extremely patient and happy to make any revisions that we requested. She was also highly responsive and communicative throughout the entire process, which made us feel reassured that everything would come out perfectly. Finally, we really appreciated that Jenny sent us both digital and hard copy proofs so that we could select our favorite type of paper...and all the paper options she sent were extremely high-quality! We are so happy with the beautiful final products and had so much fun working with Jenny…we highly recommend her for your special day!!!
Design That Flies based in Milwaukee was a great choice for our Wedding invitations. I would highly recommend they do terrific work and are very professional. They adapt to your ne...
eds helping to execute on to paper the vision you have but aren't quite able to articulate. Impressive design skills and with great suggestions such as including a QR code to direct your guests to your website with wedding info. Great organization and presentation. We are very happy with the end results.
I loved working with Jenny for my invitations! My wedding planner initially brought up Jenny as an option for invites and I'm so glad she did! I ended up working with Jenny twice d...
ue to COVID for our smaller ceremony in April 2021 and our larger reception in June 2022. Jenny was incredibly kind and creative throughout the process. She listened to my ideas and took them to the next level bringing my vision to life. She also stayed within the budget parameters and helped me craft stunning invites both times that I got lots of compliments on without breaking the bank. If you're looking for a creative, responsive, helpful and affordable option for wedding invites, look no further than Jenny - can't recommend her enough!

We used Jenny for our wedding invitations/place cards/ thank you cards, and we were so happy with everything she did for us! Jenny was very detail oriented and super organized. We ...
had many phone consultations in which we worked together to create a vision for how we wanted our invites to look like. Jenny is very creative and clearly very passionate about her work. Based on our conversations, she came up with a really cool design for our invites that was unlike any invite I had ever received! We got so many compliments on our invites-especially compliments on how unique and detailed they were.
Jenny created a timeline of deadlines for our wedding, and she made sure that everything was done in a timely manner. She was always available either via email or phone. She sent over proofs at every step of the way which really helped me visualize the final product. Although we could not meet in person, I felt like a priority to her, and it was clear that she was very excited about the project as well.
I wish I could submit photos with this review, but regardless I highly recommend Jenny for your stationary needs!!!
There are not enough good things that I can say about Jenny and her work for our wedding. We were initially going to do our own invitations on one of the big websites, but we were ...
persuaded to go with Jenny's custom work, and I am so glad that we did! Jenny understood the assignment completely - she took the inspiration photos that we gave her and made a beautiful custom envelope liner, band, and designs on our details card and such. She made us a beautiful monogram that we'll be happy to use for years to come. Jenny also took her design and put it on all of the signage for the day of as well, and did a custom drawing of our dog for our signature cocktail sign. Jenny was super responsive and receptive to any changes and feedback and the finished product was just flawless! If you're looking for a sign to work with Jenny, this is it!
My daughter and I had a wonderful experience working with Jenny to create the invitations for her wedding. She helped us take our initial ideas and vision to a finished product th...
at many people said was the most creative invitation they had ever seen! Jenny was very prompt, professional, and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend her to other couples planning their weddings.
We had the most wonderful experience working with Jenny from Design That Flies!! We were planning a unique fusion wedding (Hindu & Ukrainian Catholic) and holding our ceremonies on...
separate days. We searched the internet endlessly for invitations and there was not a single website that could meet our needs. That’s where Jenny comes in. She was able to brainstorm ideas with us on how to make a custom invitation for 2 separate ceremonies and 1 reception. Once we locked down our idea, we knew that Jenny was the perfect fit. She worked with us for months, sending us endless proofs of our wedding invitation until we were 100% happy. She did so with so much patience and enthusiasm, and you could really tell that she loved her job. Everything was uniquely designed and handcrafted. She also designed our wedding monogram! We have been recommending Jenny to all of our friends and family, even if they didn’t necessarily need a more custom route. You won’t regret going with Design That Flies for your wedding stationery needs!

with many different options through the design process and was very patient in helping to make my vision come to life. Working with Jenny is like working with a friend. She helps you through the process step by step and is very organized to make sure everything is exactly how you want. She also had our stationary delivered to us ready to go- all we had to was mail them. I cannot recommend Jenny enough!

ked amazing and she made sure to go over all things from the first meeting to receiving the final products.
My experience with Design that Flies was phenomenal! We got our save the dates and invites from them and couldn't happier with everything. Jenny was lovely to work with. She respon...
ded quickly to emails and was very easy to communicate with overall.
We didn't have a very clear vision of what we wanted anything to look like, but with the information we gave her she managed to come up with not one, but three wonderful invite proofs for us to choose from! After we picked our favorite she very quickly mailed out a physical proof of the invite on different types of paper along with envelopes, pocketfolds and bands for us to look through and decide what we liked best. Even after the pocketfold proofs were accidentally mailed back and took longer to get to us than originally planned, we managed to stick to the timeline and get the final invites very quickly!
The invites were hand delivered after they were complete which is such a lovely touch to her services and eases a lot of stress of waiting for them to arrive in the mail.
I cannot recommend hiring Design that Flies for all your paper needs enough!
The best ever! Invites looked amazing! Jenny was kind enough to do a reprint at a fair price with my wedding being postponed due to Covid!

y to help me with my dream invitations for the wedding. She was able to accommodate all my desires for a very special and unique invitation. I highly recommend her to anybody looking for wedding invitations that are creatively made and so beautiful, and a great price from what I saw doing research. I recently showed one of my friends the invitations before even sending them out and her jaw literally dropped, she was amazed at how beautiful they were done. It was nice to see her reaction and hope all the guests will feel the same when they open the envelope.
With having to postpone my wedding due to COVID-19, Jenny was nothing short of flexible. We also created a cost-friendly postcard for our "Change the Dates". When designing our inv...
itations she was very thorough and when I received them in the mail they were absolutely PERFECT! My wedding colors, style, and theme were greatly incorporate. Having the perfect invitations for our guests were important to me, as it is the first thing guests will see that related to the big event. Couldn't have been happier with Design That Flies!
Jenny is so personable, detail oriented, and creative! We handled everything via email/phone calls to be covid safe and I feel like we didn’t skip a beat. She laid out a timeline s...

If we could give Jennifer 10 stars, we would. We met her in a bridal expo in Puerto Rico and instantly fell in love with her work. Her ideas inspired us and went beyond our expect...
ations. We met with her a few times; she was always very understanding and kind. Whenever we came to her with an idea she would enhance it and make it more unique. We're very lucky to have found her, and all our guests have complimented her designs! You can't go wrong with Design That Flies!
Jenny was a joy to work with when it came to our Save the Dates and invitations. She was able to customize our invites to our liking and provided us with plenty of options. We rece...

We loved collaborating with Jenny on our invitations and “Save the Dates.” To say that they turned our beautifully is an understatement. They set the tone for our Lake Superior wed...
ding and enhanced our wedding day. Jenny also designed an emblem for some totes that we gifted our guests upon arrival. We received so many complements on all of the items that Jenny designed. Jenny has a lovely upbeat personality along with unparalleled professionalism. I am so grateful to have partnered with her. Selecting Design that Flies for our wedding designs was one of the best decisions that we made!!!
We worked with Jenny on our save the dates, wedding invitations, and menus/signage for our wedding day. Jenny was so great to work with - she was patient with us as we figured out ...
what we wanted and the outcome was awesome. We had very unique save the date magnets and the invitations were absolutely beautiful - we got so many compliments on them. Anytime we needed any adjustments or updates, there was a really quick turnaround and we were able to get everything out on time. During the week of our wedding, we reached out to Jenny to get menus and signage and she did a great job especially with very little time. She coordinated with the printers in our city to make sure everything would be perfect. If you need any personalized stationary, Jenny is very talented and wonderful!
We had Jenny custom-make some beautiful pieces! Our invitations were even hand-created with watercolor painting and duplicated from there. Definitely one-of-a-kind works of art. I ...

For starters I HIGHLY recommend Design That Flies!! I had a specific design in mind for my Save-the-Dates and wedding invitations (which included RSVP and Details cards) and was ne...
rvous when I first contacted Jenny since I had no reference and didn’t know if she would be able to do exactly what I wanted... now I can say she’s the absolute BEST! I am so in love with the final outcome of everything; Jenny truly brought my vision to life. She is also very friendly; professional and easy to work with; keeps you in the loop by showing you the drafts along the way including when changes are made; and is flexible with any changes you want as well as gives you different options to choose from. Most importantly, she’s very punctual with the timing you need everything done by. Another thing is she was able to work with me long distance via phone and email. I would 100% recommend Jenny (DesignThatFlies) without a doubt!

After looking through countless designers, I'm so thrilled that I found Jenny at Design That Flies! Jenny is personable, professional, and extremely knowledgable about any and all ...
wedding stationery products. She values my opinions and makes all of my paper dreams come to life! Due to distance, I have been working with Jenny via email and phone. With some vendors, this could be a nightmare. Jenny makes it incredibly easy! She is quick to respond to messages and speaks clearly and definitively on the phone. We sent out our Save The Dates recently and received SO much positive feedback. From the flowing font and shiny gold envelope to the way Jenny's design complimented our photo - it was perfect. I am so excited to continue working with Design That Flies for the rest of our wedding stationery!
Excellent and Totally Recommend it! Was more than I expected and Im so please with the quality and service! I just loved them! I have received a lot of compliments from my invitees...

were beautiful and unique to us! She was extremely responsive, organized, and even hand delivered our products to our apartment! I would recommend Design That Flies for any kind of invitation needs!
I did very little research and waited until the last minute to find invites. I came across examples of some of Jenny’s custom designed invites and fell in love with an example she ...
had advertised for a different custom cut out pocket. She took my vision and ran with it, taking my very little input and making it absolutely perfect. I don’t want to comment on value as I did little to no research on prices but I think she generally priced this at market, or even below given the custom design and made to order nature of the request. Jenny also whipped these 100 invites out under a time crunch as I requested her services only a little over a month before I wanted to send them out. I would definitely recommend if you are looking to support local business, want something unique, and open to trust a girl at what she is good at!
Jenny is fantastic to work with - highly recommend! She brought our vision to life easily and was very flexible and responsive with edits and tweaks. Our invitations are absolutely...
gorgeous, and we are so happy we chose to work with her!
Jennifer has been a life saver! We were able to get the custom design we wanted at a reasonable price. She was super helpful throughout the entire process and really listened to ...
what we wanted. Cant recommend her enough!!!!
Jenny is fantastic to work with and her stationary is second to none! If you're looking for affordable, unique, and personalized save-the-dates and invitations that your friends a...
nd family will rave about, look no further! Jenny was able to take the blurred vision I had in my head and make it come to life on paper. She was fun and easy to work with and took the time to get to know Mike and I as a couple, which I think really came out in the final product! We received so many compliments on both our save-the-dates and wedding invitations. I would HIGHLY recommend Jenny to anyone looking for help with stationary!
We could not be happier with how well things went working with Design That Flies. We worked with Jenny on a concept and threw some ideas at her and she then dove into the info we g...

Jenny is a doll that we would recommend to anyone who has stationary needs. She was prompt in e-mailing us back and getting us the product when promised. Her price point is second ...
to none as we did check out a couple of other places and hers was the best. She has tons of samples that fit whatever tastes you have and even accommodated a couple of special requests that we wanted to complete our wedding experience. You can't go wrong with using Design That Flies and would be sorry if you didn't.
Jenny was amazing! She listened carefully to the idea of what we wanted our wedding stationary to be and turned it into a masterpiece that was unique to us!
My husband and I had some ideas of what we wanted our theme and wedding stationery to be like, but Jenny, with Design That’s Flies, truly brought it to life. She created exactly wh...

I absolutely loved working with Jenny and the final product (both save-the-dates and wedding invites) could not have turned out better. The best part was she made designing, printi...
ng, and sending out my invites easy and seamless. She accommodated any request I had quickly, gave me many options to choose from, and guided me through wording and design details I would have otherwise missed. I have a relative that works in the printing business and she called me as soon as she received my wedding invite gushing about the quality, beauty, and design! I will be using Jenny for any party invites, holiday cards, or any stationary needs I have in the future. My best friend is getting married this year and I am recommending Design That Flies to her. Thank you Jenny, for a truly wonderful experience and wedding invites I will cherish forever!
We loved working with Jenny for our September 2018 wedding! Throughout the whole process, she listened to our ideas, provided advice on the options she thought would be the best fi...
t with our vision and ultimately designed the PERFECT, beautiful Chicago-themed wedding invitations and wedding stationary. We loved that she could really do it all, from invites to menus to signage. She finished everything on time and even hand delivered all of our invitations and stationary to us in Chicago! We cannot recommend Jenny enough!!

etings. Not only did she do our save the dates and wedding invitations, but she also did our ceremony programs, name cards, signature drink signs for the reception. We got so many compliments on all of our work and HIGHLY recommend working with her! She did such a beautiful job!
Jenny was BEYOND patient with us throughout the process. We had changed things left and right and had to constantly alter certain details that I didn't even think of throughout our...
design segment. When we finally had the chance to sit down and look at all the options, I thought I had my heart set on a specific look and color scheme and she presented us with both what I had originally wanted but also something that looked MUCH better than I could've fathomed. I am so thankful she was honest and creative enough to give us different options so we could pick the absolute and most beautiful choice. I cannot recommend her enough - we loved working with her!
Jenny of Design That Flies was absolutely amazing and able to deliver beautiful paper goods even though I reached out to her a mere 9 days before our wedding when another vendor fe...
ll through on us. We spoke on the phone on a Thursday, met at a coffeeshop on Sunday, emailed like crazy, and I picked up our printed goods on the Tuesday before our Saturday wedding! She designed programs for our Hindu ceremony and recreated the same border/design motifs from the invitations that we'd ordered from India. She also designed individual name cards for our reception tables as well as menu, favor, and directional signs for our shuttles, all of which had unique design elements within a unifying theme, again inspired from our invitations. I was incredibly impressed with Jenny's willingness to take on this project on such short notice, quick responsiveness through email, and creativity in designing beautiful paper goods that perfectly captured the feel of our elegant Hindu and Christian wedding ceremonies and reception with very little direction from me. And her pricing was very reasonable and comparable to what I'd seen elsewhere, without any hike in price due to the short notice. I would absolutely recommend working with Jenny of Design That Flies!
Jenny designed and printed day of paper goods for my birthday party this year. Her work is detailed, unique, and simply gorgeous! She was a joy to communicate with throughout the e...

r any wedding paper needs! I can’t tell you how many of my guests were impressed by the quality and cutest of my wedding invitation design! Love love love!!
Jennifer is “The Best”. My fiancé and I met with representatives from several of “the big” invitation companies in the Milwaukee area. We had a specific custom design in mind. ...
We wanted a ghosted image of a King Protea on the invitation with the printing done in thermography. We were told that was not possible. We also wanted a shimmer paper and we were told thermography could not be done on that type of paper. We also wanted our accommodations and RSVP cards to be placed in a back pocket of the invitation. We were told it could not be done on our desired invitation size. Then we meet with Jennifer from Design that Flies. She is a one woman show who can do it all. She was able to accommodate all of our visions without a second thought. She also was able to custom order our stamps with a specific photo that we wanted. Jennifer is friendly, extremely competent, and very professional. I would recommend her to anyone looking for wedding or any other type of invitations.
Jenny did an amazing job with our wedding invitations and ceremony programs! She is so sweet and down to earth and makes what can be an overwhelming process extremely easy! She off...
ered so many ideas, but also let us explain to her what we had in mind. Not to mention she is so flexible! I made a lot of changes through the process and she always responded quickly and made sure we got what we wanted. She also met us at a coffee shop that was convenient for us and even delivered our invitations to my parent's house since we weren't living in Milwaukee! Our guests thought our invitations were beautiful and our programs were wonderful as well! You can't go wrong with Jenny!
