My Story
Thanks for stopping by! I have been designing wedding stationery for over 18 years.
My love for design has been a life-long pursuit. Formally trained in Creative Advertising, out of design school, I worked for some of Canada's largest companies. Landing myself on the society pages at only 26 years old as a national special events coordinator, I quickly moved up into the world of corporate and philanthropic events, sitting on organizing committees such as Fashion Cares in Toronto and Calgary, The Look Good Feel Better Ball, and many others.
As I honed my skills I began to plan my future. Designing wedding stationery on weekends and after work, I started to build a brand and business. I wanted to inspire and bring something new and different to the industry. Through referrals and personal devotion to my craft, my side business was really taking off! A few years later, in 2005, I took the leap and opened my doors full time. Nothing makes me happier than to bring my clients' visions to life and be a part of one of the most memorable times in their lives.

"I want to create a piece of your life story,
one that you will hold on to, and remember forever."

I currently work from my home studio, just north of Toronto, in Caledon. I am married to a wonderful partner who has been my biggest cheerleader for over 20 years. I have a beautiful teenage daughter who lights up my world, and a 10 year old multi-poo named Eddie, who will undoubtedly notify me of your arrival with his enthusiasm.
When I am not designing, you can find me teaching or taking a yoga class, sipping a cup of tea or meeting up with my best girlfriends. I love to travel, soak up the sun and ride my bike.
I thank you for stopping by and reading a little about me and my business. I welcome you to book a time where we can sit down together and I can learn more about you, and how I can help you plan your special event!

Alison was amazing!
Working with her has been a fantastic experience. Even with the ups and down of planning a wedding during the pandemic, she made the process so easy and brought our vision to life! Our invitations were a hit and all the print items used throughout the day complimented our decor so well. Highly recommend The Invitation Place!

The Invitation Place is the place to go.
Alison is amazing. I am so glad I found her for our wedding invitations and stationary.
I was so happy with her professionalism, kindness and ability to listen to what we wanted for our stationary.
She has an incredibly quick response time with email and was thorough with her responses. She is flexible with pick up times and is super friendly.
We got so many compliments on our invites, and I'm sure we will get the same amount of compliments on our thank you cards once we send them out.
I would recommend anyone to Alison and the Invitation Place for stationary for all occasions.

Amazing quality and such a pleasure to work with!
I had Alison do my save the date cards, invitations, place cards, menus, seating charts, fans with details about the ceremony/reception and my thank you cards!
Her work is absolutely amazing, I can not even begin to explain how happy I was with everything. She always goes above and beyond and everything is always better than you could have imagined. Alison has such an amazing personality, she comes across so friendly through email conversations and when you meet her in person she greets you with the biggest smile and that amazingly friendly personality, you feel like you've known her forever! Her pricing is very reasonable and the quality of products is outstanding!
I would without a doubt recommend The Invitation Place to anyone and everyone looking for someone do their wedding invitations and other stationary.
Thank you so much Alison for everything you did!
