It’s nice to meet you! I’m Joanna, the founder of Jo’s Paper Kitchen.I started this company in 2013 with a desire to serve couples in north Houston after a move from Southern California.I was surprised to find no “cute envelopes” at all in my area. 💌
Did I have experience running a business? No
Did I have formal graphic design training? No
Did I have a lot of free time? No (I had a 3 year old and found out I was pregnant 2 weeks after I started the business- fun times)

However, what I did have was the support of my husband David, friends cheering me on and plenty of open doors to give it a shot. As the wedding industry in our area grew, so did this little business.What started over a pile of T-shirts in Old Navy and a friend of a friend stalking me on Facebook (good story) has turned into a passion for helping engaged couples, mother’s of the bride or groom, trusted industry friends and planners create keepsakes that will be cherished for years, stunning details and accents for special occasions.

I love being in the kitchen in my home and cooking without a strict recipe or plan.I trust my instincts and know my flavors.I know who I am creating for and what they love to enjoy.That’s the same attitude I bring to design and invitations in my “paper kitchen”. I want to hear about your celebration and whip something up that will be uniquely yours and memorable.

Cheers to whatever you’re celebrating!

Sophie and Christian’s wedding used a soft cream, old world texture and gold palette 🤍

From the welcome sign to the reception tables, every detail felt consistent and well put together. The florals, paper goods, and setting created a clean and timeless look. Simple, classic, and easy to love ✨

Hannah and Erik chose Magnolia from the Curated Collection 🤍

It’s a standout classic, and built to carry every detail with ease. The monogram, the type, and the layout do the work without needing anything extra.

Simple choices done well will always be timeless 💌

How do I even begin to describe how incredible my mom is? She is my biggest supporter and my partner in everything, always ready to help with a smile. From the early days of JPK as the “childcare division” to now helping with ribbons and liners, she shows up for it all and still stays for dinner. When she is not here, she is out making the world better. I love you, Mom. I am so grateful to celebrate you. Happy Mother’s Day 🌷

A timeless black and white suite for a day that felt just as classic.

“It was so amazing to work with you for our big day. You took one of the most stressful parts of planning a wedding and made it a breeze.”

This is always the goal. To make this part feel easy, clear, and actually enjoyable.

Blessings for your new life together as husband and wife!

Sneak peek because I cannot NOT show you this loveliness. 💐🌷🌸. This what happens when an artist designs pieces for her invitations.

If you love our venue illustrations Alysse has done many of them. So I am delighted to create this for her and Aiden.Can't show it all until after the wedding this July.

Love you @alyssekatelyn and so happy for you both.

A love match, perfectly set 🎾

This seating chart was one of those pieces that stops you in your tracks. Designed around the theme “A Love Match in April,” we brought the concept to life with a custom bracket-style layout—guiding guests to their tables as if they were part of the match itself.

Hand-painted in a soft meadow grass green and accented with fresh, spring florals, every detail was intentionally chosen to feel cohesive, elevated, and full of life. But the most meaningful touch? The groom’s vintage tennis rackets placed right at the center—tying in personal history with the start of something new.

This is exactly why we believe seating charts should never be an afterthought. They’re not just functional—they’re a moment, a statement, and a beautiful extension of your story.

We customize every seating chart to reflect your vision, your theme, and those small, meaningful details that make your day unforgettable. Because when done right, it’s not just telling guests where to sit—it becomes part of the experience.

If you’re planning your big day, don’t wait on your seating chart. It’s one of those pieces you’ll wish you gave the time and attention it deserves 🤍
