GiftBandit a “by appointment only,” invitation, calligraphy and favor studio that offers a reputation of originality, quality, creativity with a strong emphasis on personalized attention.

Offering traditional, classic, and formal invitations, to contemporary displays, GiftBandit is able to tailor their designs to create a custom ensemble that is beautiful, bold, or simply exquisitely memorable for the perfect presentation to each guest.

With a love for colorful products in the stationery kingdom, Mariette Fredericks takes her thirty-one (plus) years of industry experience and graphic arts training to create each ensemble that is perfectly fit for your occasion!

Gift Bandit, launched with a firm belief that the first impression to any event begins with the invitation. Customers are encouraged to offer a “sneak peak” into their event with their invitation ensemble, and to hold back on “a full peak,” leaving the “awe factor” in tact for day of the event.

Whether a charming family event of 10, or a grand event of 1000, GiftBandit will work personally with you to create an invitation ensemble that is uniquely yours ~ something that will intrigue your guests and raise their anticipation factor for your approaching event.
