About Us
Meet Elyse
Celebrations are the milestones that string together a life.
For the past 30 years, I’ve been incredibly fortunate to be able to connect with families at times of great joy that give them reason to celebrate.
After a decade of working in advertising and event planning, I started EAF fine papers out of my home on the Upper West Side. I’ve always loved planning parties, working with great people and have had a genuine appreciation for great gifts and paper goods – be it a thoughtful hand-written note on beautiful card stock, a meaningful gift or an invitation that evokes excitement and celebration from the moment it’s opened.
Over the years, I’ve collaborated with hundreds of couples, families, tweens and professionals to understand their likes (and dislikes), the meaning their celebration has to them and the vibe they want to create at their event. From there the design elements fall into place.
I look forward to working with you soon,
Elyse
