"Every great love starts with a great story."

Born and raised in South Louisiana, I’ve always had a passion for design and beautiful things. After graduating college in 2010 from the University of Louisiana of Lafayette with a BA in Graphic Design, I moved back to my hometown, where I still live today, and began designing paper goods for parties, events, and weddings.

Some of my favorite things are bright, open spaces, sipping coffee all day long, and sing at the top of my lungs while I work in my tiny home office. When I'm not designing, I enjoy spending time with my husband and boys, working on our DIY home renovation, and mindlessly scrolling through Pinterest like my life depends on it. Glad to share a little about me. I hope to get to know more about you in the near future!

I'm Cairre, wife to Jared
mom of Greyson, Wes +
our English Bulldog Bartley & the designer behind the scenes at Grey House Paper.

Hello Gorgeous!

frequently asked questions

How many invitations will I need?

You'll need one invitation per household. Keep in mind that your number of invitations is not that same number as your guest list. The number of invitations is roughly half of your guest count if there is an average of 2 guests per household. Children within the household who are over the age of 18 should each receive a separate invitation as well. 

Will you help me with wording for my invitation?

Absolutely! Each couple's situation is different, and depending on your needs, I will guide you with all the invitation etiquette and tips, such as who's name is included on the invitation, proper wording to use, how to address your guests envelopes, and so much more. Just another perk of working with a side-by-side with a stationery and wedding professional. 

Should I include my registry on my invitation?

Traditionally, your wedding registry information is not included with your formal wedding invitation. The details of your registry should be kept on your shower invitation and/or your wedding website. Your Save the Date is the perfect place to inform guests about your wedding website.

What if I plan to have an adult only wedding?

Traditionally, your wedding registry information is not included with your formal wedding invitation. The details of your registry should be kept on your shower invitation and/or your wedding website. Your Save the Date is the perfect place to inform guests about your wedding website.

Having an Adult Only celebration is becoming a very common request from couples. You can inform your guests of your Adult Only Reception by including this information at the bottom of your invitation, on a separate insert card with reception details, or your wedding website.
