Beyond the Template: A Personalized Paper Experience

by: Beth Witten

In a world increasingly dominated by fast clicks and one-size-fits-all solutions, Little Plume and Paper stands as a gentle, elegant reminder that some of life’s most meaningful moments deserve more than an automated template. Founded by stationer and designer Anna Michelle Hanks, Little Plume and Paper combines modern convenience with old-world care with a thoughtful, deeply personal touch to wedding stationery.

For today’s couples, the planning process often moves at a dizzying pace. Large online retailers promise efficiency but rarely offer guidance when it matters most. Little Plume and Paper bridges that gap, offering clients the ease of streamlined ordering while delivering the nuanced support and expert insight of a true stationer. Here, elegance is never sacrificed for efficiency—it’s woven into every detail.

“I want my clients to feel like they’re getting the best of both worlds,” says Hanks. “They have the flexibility and ease of use they would expect from a big-name platform, but they also have me—a real person, who’s available to answer questions, navigate etiquette, and bring their vision to life in a way no algorithm can.”

That philosophy has become the heart of Little Plume and Paper. Whether a couple arrives with a crystal-clear vision or just the flicker of an idea, Hanks guides them through each step of the design process. Her deep knowledge of materials, printing methods, timelines, and mailing logistics ensures no detail is left to chance. But her attentive, tailored service truly sets the experience apart.

From save-the-dates to complete invitation suites, Little Plume and Paper creates heirloom-quality pieces that reflect the tone, style, and significance of the wedding day. Each design is as unique as the couple behind it, with room to adapt, iterate, and infuse meaning at every turn. It’s not just stationery—it’s storytelling on paper. Hanks asserts,  “My work is inspired by a love of timeless romance and the elegance of Regency-era aesthetics, I specialize in creating bespoke wedding and event stationery that combines tradition with a touch of whimsy.” 

In an era where planning a wedding can feel transactional, Little Plume and Paper brings humanity back to the process. With Hanks as both designer and guide, clients are empowered to feel confident, supported, and seen. The result? A seamless, stress-free journey—and paper goods as unforgettable as the day they’re created to celebrate.

For couples seeking something more than mass-produced design, Little Plume and Paper is not just a vendor—it’s a partner in preserving beauty, meaning, and tradition. To learn more visit littleplumeandpaper.com or on Instagram @littleplumeandpaper.
