Melissa Mizel became Dear Emily in 1994, when she launched a hotline for crazed brides and quickly became a nationally published wedding advice columnist. Today she is the proprietor of Dear Emily, a by-appointment retail studio offering a fabulous selection of invitations, announcements and other stationery for life’s special events. Her professional experience with typography and editorial assignments, coupled with an exceptional sense of color, make her an invaluable asset to her loyal clientele.

Selecting baby announcements, holiday cards or personal writing paper takes less time than assembling a suite for a wedding or bar/bat mitzvah. By and large, the more pieces that are needed, the more decisions there are to be made.

• Recycling all cardboard packaging
• Donating paper remnants to local school art programs
• Placing client purchases in beautiful, advertising-free shopping bags made of cotton textile remnants so they can be reused for stunning gift presentations
