I truly cannot express how wonderful it was to work with Allison and the team at Poeme. They were recommended to us by our wedding planner as we were not from the Cincinnati area, and we are so grateful that we are now telling everyone in Dayton to use them as well. Within the first 15 mintues of meeting with them, they had suggested the idea we ended up using in every piece of stationary used at our wedding... save the date cards, invitations, programs, table number books, favor envelopes, thank you cards, custom stamps, addressing all envelopes... They were so beautiful and so unique that we would have found a way to use any idea they had. Although your wedding is an incredibly special and important part of your life, it can also be very stressful. Allison took every bit of stress away from creating and planning our stationary, and she became my friend through the process. Allison is a true expert in terms of etiquette as well as creativity, so she was incredibly helpful with any etiquette questions and advice in addition to creating such beautiful pieces. Because stopping by the store is not convenient for me or my husband, she was able to assist me through email and she constantly sent me samples so we could know exactly what something would look like. Every change and tweak that I made was done in what seemed like seconds, and she was very responsive, which is important because, when plannning a wedding, many decisions depend upon other decisions. I would not recommend anyone else for any type of stationary, and I look forward to Allison and the team at Poeme being a part of our future Christmas cards, birth announcements and anything else we can think of! Thank you so much to everyone at Poeme... Our wedding planning experience was that much more fun because of you!
Sincerely, Erin & John

We loved working with Allison at Poeme! We couldn't have been happier with how our save the dates, invitations, and programs came out, and we received many compliments from family and friends.

Poeme was such a pleasure to work with!!! Allison helped me with my wedding invitations and day of stationary (programs, place cards) and I could not have been more pleased with her and her work. I live out of town so the majority of our correspondence was done via email and the level of professionalism, responsiveness and willingness to do whatever I wanted blew me away! The invitations were elegant, gorgeous, and most importantly, EXACTLY what I wanted! I was told by numerous people that they were the prettiest wedding invitations that they'd ever seen! Allison was such a pleasure to work with and I couldn't have been a happier bride :)

I highly recommend Poeme for wedding invitations and all wedding printed materials! I had a wonderful experience working with Kristen and all of the staff at Poeme. Kristen was such a pleasure to work with! From our first meeting she was very attentive, professional, helpful and offered great advice with time and cost in mind. She made my invitation visions a reality, and the outcome was absolutely beautiful.

Poeme is Phenomenal!!!
I used Poeme for all of my printed materials for my wedding (invitations, programs, table seating cards and thank you notes) and everything was truly spectacular. Allison was wonderful to work with and the entire staff was excellent. I cannot say enough about how wonderful they made each step of the process. They had a HUGE selection and their staff was helpful, friendly and responsive to all of my needs. I was initially overwhelmed with the invitation selection process because there were so many options and I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted. Allison was great in calming my feelings and quickly helped me to narrow things down and figure out what I was looking for. Once I selected my invitations, I was able to go back-and-forth several times in terms of perfecting the layout, content, and design. They provided great proofs via email in a timely fashion. The finished products were all stunning!!!
I am so thankful I found Poeme and I plan on using Poeme all future life events and recommend them to anyone who needs printed materials for ANY special occasion!

The invitations were beautiful, and it was difficult to decide which invitations that I wanted. Allison was very helpful in giving her input and accommodating the price range that we wanted for our wedding. I highly recommend Poeme to new brides to be!

Kristen and Poeme saved the day. I had a vision of a beautiful letterpress invitation, and the company I initially chose didn't come through (they looked like garbage, etiquette errors, etc.) So at the last minute, Kristen gave us many GORGEOUS original designs to choose from fitting our theme. They were more amazing than I had pictured, and to create such a beautiful masterpeice - in letterpress - in a time crunch, well was just incredible. Thank you!!!!! For not only rescuing us, but for blowing away our expectations!!!

It was a pleasure working with Poeme. We used them for our Save the Dates as well as our invitations, seating charts, programs, and thank yous. We got rave reviews from all of our guests and we still get comments 6 months later! I had no idea what I wanted when we went the first time but Allison was able to walk us through each step.

Poeme was unbelievable. We took a do it yourself idea to Kristen and she was able to put it all together. We are still getting compliments on the invitations. The invites set the entire tone and feel of the wedding. She was able to stay within budget which NO-ONE else in Cincinnati was able to do. Very accommodating and easy to work with. Do not be fooled by other stationary store's free addressing etc. Poeme will do it all or like us put certain pieces together. Amazing work and knowledge.

I used Poeme for my wedding invitations, programs and seating chart and they were (without a doubt) worth every penny! Kristen was AMAZING to work with. She is so easy to talk to and get in touch with. I would feel bad for bombarding her with tons of etiquette/format questions but she ALWAYS replied eagerly with so much helpful information. She is truly knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. The wedding invitations got so many compliments, they definitely set the tone for the wedding. Meeting with her one-on-one was so convenient and helpful. I highly, highly recommend Poeme!

Kristen is a creative genius, the consummate professional and now a good friend. If you're a stationery lover, there is absolutely nowhere else to go.

I was overwhelmed by invitation options. There are so many choices, and I couldn't find anything that I even liked, much less loved. And then, I met with Kristen at Poeme. She spent over an hour with me, and at the end I had the perfect invitation. She even knew all the appropriate wording, so I didn't have to do any research on that.
I wanted something "green" but classic. Kristen recommended a place in NY called Smock which prints on bamboo paper (more like card stock) and everything is hand pressed. I never would have found that company on my own, but it was the perfect fit.

Poeme was one of the best decisions I made regarding my wedding. Not only did they do a great job, but I truly enjoyed going in and working with them. Everyone made the process very easy and their knowledge and love for what they do was very evident. As any bride knows, planning a wedding can get crazy, but being able to work with the great people at Poeme made the process that much easier- and fun!

Allison was awesome to work with! She made what seemed like an overwhelming task fun and simple. She had wonderful ideas, and expressed them in a professional yet gentle way. I never felt pressured to do or order something I didn't want. Allison made an effort to get to know me and my fiancee, our taste/preferences, and a feel for the wedding so that our invitations could reflect those preferences. I absolutely loved the final product and Allison was so flexible and helpful with making any necessary changes. She'd email drafts back and forth and this was a huge help for my mom who lives out of town. I absolutely loved working with Allison and Poeme and would (already have!) recommend them to everyone!!

I honestly didn't know what I wanted in regards to my invitations. I knew that I wanted a traditional yet elegant invitation but I didn't know where to start. Kristen spent one-on-one time with us and walked us through invitation books to get a feel for what we liked and didn't like. From there, she helped us design a beautiful invitation that turned out to be one of my very favorite parts of the wedding. I am in love with my invitations, and they received so many compliments from our guests! They were beautiful and elegant and they set the exact tone for our wedding! Kristen was helpful, responsive, and a true professional. I will pass along her name to any future bride-to-be that crosses my path!

You name it with the stationary and Poeme took care of it. Kristen and Phil were wonderful to work with. They took care of every detail from the save the dates to the invitations to the place cards as well as the programs. We loved how our invitations was made just for us and how personalized all of the services we used were. It was worth the extra expense. We received so many compliments and miss working with the staff at Poeme. They are so creative and nice.

Poeme made my wedding invitations, programs and thank you cards. I have to say our invitations were one of my favorite parts of our entire wedding. Poeme did an amazing job and their customer service was outstanding! They were willing to meet with me as much as I want, they gave me advice and offered a variety of products to complete my wedding day stationery. I give them 5 stars all around and would recommend Poeme to anyone I know! I also will be going back there for any invitations I may need in the future!

Kristen did such a wonderful job with our invitations. She really made the whole process very easy for us-- from the selection of the perfect invitation, to helping us with the correct wording and layout of the invitation, she was a huge help. When the invitations were not delivered on time, Kristen and the other staff at Poeme were very professional-- and even came to the rescue by mailing our invitations for us! I would recommend Poeme to anyone looking for stationery for any event!

Poeme did a fantastic job of making our invitations "not the norm." They were BEYOND clever and played off of our Christmas wedding / time as a couple. Every piece flowed together perfectly and we couldn't have been happier with the end result.
The staff was very responsive and was able to bring an amazing product to life after listening to our ideas.
I could not have been happier...use them and they won't disappoint!
