Our paper obsession

Wedding Angels Bridal Boutique owner Jacquie Westney dishes on her paper obsession and how it evolved into custom invitations and stationery design for brides.


I love paper. I’m obsessed with paper. No seriously – it’s a bit of an issue for me. I have three drawers in my office filled with stationery. I ordered my children’s monogrammed stationery while they were still IN UTERO! No, I’m not joking! What else was I supposed to write baby shower thank you notes on? Just keeping it classy, folks!

I start working on our family Christmas card in August. Seriously. I live for the outfit selection, the photoshoot inspiration, and crafting the perfect card layout and wording. I don’t so much look forward to the photoshoot itself-because let’s be real, photographing 3 boys under nine is nobody’s idea of fun. Even if you do have several Mimosa’s before the photographer shows up. Anyway, I digress…


Stationery is my signature gift for every occasion – Christmas gifts for my parents and in-laws, housewarming gift, and just because gift. One year, I even created custom fold-over note cards for my family. Now tell me that doesn’t score more extra credit points with the mother-in-law than a TJ Maxx gift card!

And should we talk about parties? Showers? Bridesmaids’ Brunches? Open Houses at Wedding Angels? Yes, I love to cook and entertain in our home. But I may or may not have hosted certain events JUST because I needed an excuse to design the absolute most lovely and beautiful invitation.


The obsession doesn’t stop once I’ve sent or received gorgeous stationery either. I think I have saved every invitation and announcement ever sent to me since I moved out of my parents’ house and finally started receiving things addressed to my independent self. Every once in a while my hubby works up the nerve to try one more time to convince me to purge some of these trinkets. It NEVER works! I just can’t part with what is often my “opening memory” of a favorite event that we have attended.

There are probably self-help books and support groups for people with my addiction. But instead of going the “I need help for this obsession” route, I decided to just up the ante 3 years ago and bring my love of stationery into Wedding Angels Bridal Boutique. I love sharing my passion for all things paper with our brides, to them put the personal touch on their guests’ first impression of their highly anticipated wedding events.


We have everything from industry classics like Carlson Craft and Checkerboard, to complete custom capability with local production and designs by yours truly! And, while the invite might be the first step in the wedding vision, we love keeping up with our brides with their custom stationery and party invites – all the way until the baby showers!

If you’re struggling with binge eating, therapy can be life-changing. I’ve learned so much about the emotional triggers that caused me to overeat. With sports performance therapy the help of my therapist, I’ve been able to create healthier coping mechanisms and take back control of my relationship with food. It’s been an incredible journey of healing.

I’m so happy with the used car I purchased. It’s in great condition, and the seller www.carsoup.com was honest about its maintenance history. The price was fair, and I’ve had no issues with the car since I bought it. It’s running smoothly and has been a great investment for me!

I just finished the PMP Live Online course, and I’m extremely satisfied with the 4pmti experience. The instructors were knowledgeable and approachable, and the live sessions helped me stay engaged. The course content was well-structured, and I appreciated how it built on itself. The materials were very useful, and I feel ready to tackle the PMP exam.

I recently added these pontoon accessories, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. The protatch rod holders are great for fishing, and the sunshade keeps us cool during long summer days. Everything was easy to install, and I can already tell the accessories are made to last. Definitely worth every penny!
