STATIONARY. EVOLVED.

This Planner hearts invitation designers who can roll up their sleeves, dive deep and come up with unbelievably creative designs for stationary. After all, invitations are the first thing that the guests will experience when it comes to your event. Needless to say then that your invites will set the tone for your event and let guests know what they can expect.

So guess what stuffy, unimaginative, matchy-matchy invitations would say about an event?

Distinctive invitations are not simply an inspired design on coloured card stock. They involve so much more like creative paper choices, original textures and ingenious embellishments. They involve wit and sass combined with proper etiquette.

Say 'hello' to Hip Ink.

Nothing gets This Planner more excited about an event then when she sees an invitation made of bold colour and unique materials. The custom-made invitations by Hip Ink are just that. Full of colour, oozing with life and an absolute party for the fingertips.


ET LOFTE LOVES!

Founder of Hip Ink Sarah Spano has carried her passion for paper and typography into creating one-of-a-kind expressions of her clientele's personal style. Her passion for intermingling designs and materials reminds you of that excitement you felt as a kid in Kindergarten when faced with a table of craft materials for the first time.

"I'm passionate about paper - the way it looks, the way it feels, and all the amazing things that you can do with it," Spano says, "I'm passionate about typography - oh how I love to play with fonts, watch how letterforms can change an entire design and geek out over which fonts have the best ampersands. I'm passionate about design - I love to put things together and take them apart, shuffle things around, cut and paste and create magic".



From paper, wood and wicker to felt, crystals and buttons and whether for weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvah or Baptisms, Hip Ink's dedication to exploration with materials and textures is part of what sets this designer apart from others. It's hard to not crack a smile when looking at her audacious tones and witty designs. Even her logo spreads a bit of sunshine and gets you in the mood for a lil' bit of Hip.





It's not easy coming up with completely original designs and concepts and in This Planner's opinion, there are a select number of designers out there that can truly drop jaws with their originality and imagination. Hip Ink should be proud to stand tall among them.
