Nice Owl Design Studio

We worked with Helena on our wedding invitations and «day of» paper goods. My husband and I were going for a specific look and couldn’t find anything available on the web so we sought out custom invites. I had no idea what an impact custom designs would make on our wedding design! We got so many compliments from our guests on our invitations and how personalized and unique they were. Helena worked with us on our budget and was able to meet a super tight deadline. She was super easy to work with, responsive and gave great recommendations and ideas.
I highly recommend having a poster sized seating chart because it’s such a great keepsake that you can display in your home for years. We also had escort cards, dessert table tents, table number, menus, signs and programs all made by Helena. She helped design a super cute logo that we printed on a sticker to put on «to go boxes». The funnest thing we worked with her on was a design for our temporary tattoos!
Since we live in the bay area all the work and correspondence was done via email and facetime. Portland is so lucky to have her now!

We cannot be any happier with our experience with Nice Owl. Helena did an exceptional job designing and developing our wedding invitations. She was extremely flexible, created great designs that were just what we were looking for, and delivered everything on time and on budget. We were so happy that we ended up using her a lot of other material for our wedding — programs, labels, etc. Highly recommended!

I love the Nice Owl! My baby shower invitations for my daughter were made by Helena and I fell in love with the design. The theme was circles, and she made circle invitations that were adorable. I went back to her when my son was born and asked her to make me special birth announcement/​baptism invitations and she stepped up to the task. I wanted something very boyish with a hand drawn truck, but also with pockets to include the announcement and the baptism invitation/​RSVP card. She drew the cutest truck and put everything together so nicely.
I recommended Helena to my aunt when she needed invitations for her 25^th wedding anniversary. She not only did invitations, RSVP cards, directions, but also place cards and thank you cards. One stop shop!
I would highly recommend Nice Owl Design Studio. Helena does professional job and she has a great and friendly personality to boot!

Helena is such a doll! Very friendly and patient! She did our multi-​lingual wedding invites and had to re-​do the drafts a couple of times because of my parents, LoL! The invites came out great! Better than we expected. She really has en eye for colors and design that go together well. I can’t wait to send them out! =)

In one word… perfect! We worked with Helena to do our wedding invitations and are absolutely in love with the way they turned out. She listened to every detail, was flexible, fair on price and ON TIME! I highly recommend her and in fact, I will be going back myself for a few added details to my wedding since she did such a good job on the invitations.

There are truly no words that can describe how happy I was with the hard work that Helena invested in my wedding invitations and day of coordinates. She is so creative, patient, and timely with everything. I will definitely be using her services again!

1^st attempt to contact through website email: No response.
2^nd attempt called and left message: Helena did get back to me promptly after I left a message. She was very nice and professional on the phone. She sked that I email her pictures of my dress, bridesmaid dress and ideas that I was having. After speaking to her I was super excited and probably spent over a good hour attempting to put together and email to send to Helena to get started with our invitations.
Fast forward over a month later and I have not heard back from her. I emailed her 2÷15÷11 with my ideas and it is now 3÷23÷11 and I still have not received any response from her. Helena did let me know she was out of pocket but would be responsive by email.
I’m sure glad I decided to move with somebody else otherwise I would just be waiting around hoping Helena would get back to me…

Patient, Creative, flexible are just a few words to describe Helena at Nice Owl. All very important for an indecisive bride! I will use her again for future events.

Helena is truly my go-​to paper girl!
Nice Owl has designed all my invitations for all my big events. From my 18^th birthday party to my upcoming wedding. I truly put all my trust in Helena. Now, its hard for me to express what’s in my head and what I want on paper, but Helena somehow knows exactly what i’m talking about and is able to translate that for me to look so classy/​cute/​fun on paper!
I’ve received so many compliments on my invites and save-​the-​dates and I cannot wait to work with her on future upcoming events :)
Thanks Nice Owl!

Helena of Nice Owl Design is great! She is super creative and understands the wants and desires of the bride. She just did our wedding invitations for our traditional Mexican wedding, fabulous! I had actually worked with another printer before (Paper Source on Santana Row) who messed up my order, Helena saved my invitations!!! Seriously! Helena is exacting and very professional, plus she is very nice and great to work with. Don’t go anywhere else, the big places will not be able to give you the personalized service Helena at Nice Owl Design can give you, look her up and give her a call! GREAT SERVICE!!!

Helena did my wedding invitations and she ROCKS! Not only is she super talented in her craft, but she’s just great to be around. We developed a great friendship till this day, and I’m so thankful for that. I love her simplicity in style. Its elegant, fun, happy, beautiful, clean, and inspiring. I wish her so much success because this is the kind of woman that truly deserves it! =)

Thanks Helena!

She is inventive and creative, and works with any and all budgets.
I loved my save-​the dates, and wedding invites. She does it all, including place cards, menus etc.
I plan to use her for my baby/​birth announcements coming up. She has so many different options and choices, you can almost guarantee you’ll have a one-​of-​a-​kind invitation.

Helena at Nice Owl Design Studio did my «save the date» and everyone LOVED it! From the paper to the actual design — it is just stunning! THANK YOU HELENA! I can’t wait for her to start designing my invitations.
Helena has the type of customer service where you feel like you’re working with your best friend :) I was able to get my save the dates out within a month (from conception to delivery).
UPDATE: I attached pictures of my invitations in «my photos» that Helena made as well. I wanted something very simple, functional and classy… she made it just that. THANKS HELENA!!!
