Tara at The Organized Bride was wonderful! We planned our wedding in 3 months, so we didn't have much time to choose invitations. Tara had a great selection of invitations and we were able to pick one during our first visit to her store. She got the invitations to us very quickly and they were beautiful! She also printed all of our envelopes for us at a great price!
The week before our wedding, I thought I could print our place cards by myself. After almost going crazy trying to figure it out, I called Tara. She had a very simple template for the place cards and she had them ready for me in two days. It was great!
I highly recommend using The Organized Bride! You will get great products and personal and professional...

The owner is very involved with her customers which was a huge comfort because we automatically knew our buisness was important. Her staff was able to produce exactly the invitations I had in mind. They were very attentive and I never seemed like a burden. They are so nice and easy to talk with and I will always go back to her store for any invitation needs.

I had such a hard time finding an invitation I liked much less loved until I met with the lovely ladies at The Organized Bride. They showed me book after book of invitations by national invitation companies and refused to give up on finding my perfect invitation, even after I practically gave up. When I found the style I loved but found out I couldn't order it in my colors, they started looking into the DIY papers and created a near identical invitation with exactly the colors I wanted. Even though it was all DIY invitation materials, they were able to put all our invitation together for us and it was actually cheaper than if we ordered the invitations in the books they showed us.

This store deserves way more than 5 stars! I used them to purchase a few wedding accesories (i.e. unity candle) and they came out wonderful. However, my main review is going to be for all the printed stuff!
I had EVERYTHING done here. Invitations, response cards (etc), placecards, programs, table numbers.. and probably a few more things I am missing. Everything was absolutely gorgeous. No lie, I had at least 3 people tell me I had the prettiest invitations they have ever seen. They really were stunning. Tara made exactly what I had envisioned come to life.
Throughout the process, working with Tara and the other employees were just amazing. They were always always to answer my questions and really overall just went above and beyond great service. I couldn't be happier with my choice of going here, and I really urge you to do the same.

Tara and the whole Organized Bride team designed the most beautiful invitations for my fall wedding, I had tons of compliments! Their prices are unbeatable for the top notch quality of their products and their outstanding customer service. I think every bride in the area should check them out before going anywhere else to save themselves the trouble, I know I wish I had!

Our wedding was amazing, and we could not have had such an amazing time without Alyssa and Tara. We purchased the day of coordinator package and it was the best money we spent on the wedding. It’s not just the day of- Alyssa was available by email and phone throughout the year for questions and recommendations. She ran our rehearsal on Friday night, executed our wedding vision with our details and notes on Saturday, and we didn’t have to worry about one thing on our wedding day. She and Tara were complete pleasures to work with and their professionalism is outstanding.

Tara and her team were so helpful during my entire wedding planning experience. I was able to get literally all of my wedding stationary from their shop. I purchased my invitations, enclosure cards, rsvp cards, place cards, menu card, programs, table numbers, and favor boxes from them. They are truly a one stop shop! Tara is such a sweetheart. She worked with me on the design and countless edits of my invitations. I received so many compliments on all of my stationary. I would highly recommend The Organized Bride to any bride who loves convenience when planning their wedding. This is the best shop in the MD/DC area.

I noticed Organized Bride on a day trip to Frederick and popped in to ask about save the date cards for a 25th Anniversary. They were so nice and took time with us to show us the options. Although I did not get my save the date cards there, I went back to get the invitations. I looked a couple of places in Bethesda closer to my home, only to find customer service completely lacking. We showed up to look at invitation w/out an appointment when the propietor was handling 2 other customers and we still got great service. We were plowing through all the books, when she finally got a chance to talk to us. We explained what we were looking for linked silver hearts and voila she pulled it out. My husband who was at the "are we done yet?" staged was thrilled!
When we went to pick up the invitations, we noticed a linked silver heart cake topper, which we just had to have. So we ordered it. It had to come from California and were told it would only take a month or so. On the second call to find out where it was the proprietor called the company and found out that when we placed the order they were not being manufactured, but would be put back in production that week. Since we were now running out of time for trips to Frederick, Organized Bride shipped the item to me, gratis, as soon as it arrived. Even it seems out of the way, it is worth the trip to Frederick to work with this vendor. Make it a day trip, have a nice lunch, visit the chocolate shops and have a wonderful time choosing your invitations.

I had The Organized Bride make my "day of" stationary (i.e. ceremony programs, menus, place cards and table numbers). My sister-in-law had made our wedding invitations and The Organized Bride was able to duplicate the same colors, fonts and design of our invitations. Tara was incredible to work with, the stationary came out perfect and dealing with them was one of the least stressful parts of our wedding planning! Also, their prices are incredibly reasonably. I even told Tara she should be charging more for the quality of their work! I would definitely recommend The Organized Bride for invitations and day-of stationary. They also have a cute store where you can buy the guest book, ring bearer pillow, flower girl baskets, thank you notes, etc.

Tara is wonderful...the invitations were beautiful & i cant say how many compliments i recieved on them & all the day of stationary. She allowed me to borrow different items from her shop for the day of the wedding. She provided proofs of everything & nothing was printed without my final approval. Tara is a pleasure to work with!

If you are looking for a totally unique or tradtional look, Tara from The Organized Bride has it. When my mom and I first went to her shop we were isntantly excited.
With such a warm atmosphere and such wonderful staff we throughly enjoyed the expierence with Tara. She is super friendly person with a warm heart. I have to admit I was sad when the whole wedding process was over with Tara, but now I look for any occassion or holiday to go back, time and time agian. I know that some people choose to do thier own invites but if I could give one peice of advice it's go and see Tara before you do any of this. I cant describe how wonderful fer shop is and the beautiful creations they have for every bride. Every bride in the Frederick, DC area should go here!!!

I loved our invitations that we had made by Tara @ The Organized Bride. She has the most adorable store with tons of things to see and options to choose from. The paper quality is great and everyone told me how much they loved them! Thanks Tara!

Tara did a wonderful job creating our wedding invitations, programs, and menus. It was not inexpensive, but we wanted something a bit more classy than the typical products you can get online. Tara was patient with us, offering suggestions, as we perused the many options. It can be overwhelming if you don't have a idea of what you're looking for when you go in. When I designed the programs, I changed my mind on the wording several times and Tara worked with me until they were exactly what I wanted. All of the items we ordered were done well within the timeline we needed them and everything was perfect. I would definitely recommend getting your invitations and similar items from a place with a storefront vs. online. The customer service you receive at TOB was worth the extra cost.

I highly recommend The Oranized Bride for invitations, name and table cards, signs or any other specialty printeditems required for a wedding, party, etc. Tara Franklin is a pleasure to work with and I'm extremely grateful for support and expertise. I planned and organized most of my daughter's wedding as she lives out of town and was extremely busy with flight school. Her invitations were beautiful and Tara suggested a stunning and regal star pattern to decorate the name and table cards and specialty signs for the reception. My daughter and her new husband were pleasantly surprised and thrilled with the outcome! I also recommend to visit her store which is amazing and filled with examples and creative ideas for all aspects of a wedding, bridal shower and other events.

The Organized Bride saved me. I had orginally planned to do my own programs to save money but was so disappointed at the products on market at craft/office stores. I was so frustrated!! BUT THEN, I went to the Organized Bride and they saved me. With only a couple of weeks to go, Tara was able to put my mind at ease helping me slect program and name cards. She provided me a couple of choices and was able to stear me in the right direction. Although I thought that I could have printed some programs myself, they never would have been as good as what the ladies provided me. The stationary pulled the look of the wedding together! THANK YOU TARA-- You took away some pre wedding stress and delivered more than what was promised-well worth the money!!! (also picked up my ring bearer pillow, flower girl basket here)

Tara and her staff were so helpful! My invitations were amazing along with my programs. I could not have asked for better quality or service.

We had started our invitation search by trying the DIY route and working with a quality paper company and a separate printer. Too hard! We found that for about the same price, we could order beautiful invitations from TOB. We went to Tara just a few short weeks before we wanted the invitations in the mail. She made it happen for us! We later returned to order the program fans (a bit hit!) and the escort easel. Everything was beautiful and Tara was always pleasant to work with.
FYI - It gets very busy on Saturdays. I would recommend going on a weekday afternoon.
