DGZ Invitations and More is an event stationery studio with a physical showroom at 5455 Dashwood Dr., Suite 550, in Bellaire, in southwest Houston. It’s been operating for over 14 years on an appointment model: instead of picking a design from an online catalog, you book a free consultation in the showroom (or over video, if you’re not local) to see and handle hundreds — the business says “possibly thousands” — of sample invitations before customizing your own. The main point of contact is Debbie, the owner, though reviews also mention Meredith as part of the team.
Services and what’s included
The catalog covers most of the printed paper goods a large event needs:
- Quinceañera invitations — their most searched-for specialty, with a dedicated page and a listing on specialized directories like Houston Quinceañera.
- Wedding invitations and save-the-dates, handled in-showroom or over video call.
- Bar/Bat Mitzvah and B’nai Mitzvah invitations.
- Invitations for other parties (birthdays, baby showers, etc.).
- Day-of items: programs, menus, welcome signs, seating charts, place cards, escort cards, cocktail napkins, guest towels, koozies, cups, and custom beer glasses.
- Interactive guest books.
On materials and finishes, the site specifically mentions laser-cut folders, vellum wraps, acrylic invitations, scroll-style invitations, belly bands, hand-pressed wax seals, 3D invitations, magnet invitations, embossed, tie-dye, and lucite invitations — a range that spans from simple to very elaborate.
For clients outside Houston, DGZ offers a video consultation, digital proofs, and shipping with tracking once an order is ready, so living locally isn’t a requirement to work with them.
Pricing
DGZ doesn’t publish a fixed price list — it’s a custom-quote model based on design, paper stock, finishes, and quantity. The business itself describes its range as open-ended: they say they can work with budgets “from a dollar to two hundred dollars per invitation,” depending on how elaborate the design gets. There’s no public information on order minimums, production turnaround, or shipping costs — those details need to be confirmed at the appointment. Initial consultations run up to 2 hours, and the business emphasizes there’s no cost or obligation to book one.
Who it’s best for
This is a solid fit for anyone who wants to see and feel the paper before deciding — important if you’re weighing textures, embossed finishes, or pieces like wax seals and acrylic that are hard to judge from photos alone. It also suits clients who’d rather have a designer walk them through the process in person than assemble an invitation solo on an online platform. Given the stated price range (roughly $1 to $200 per piece), it can work for tighter budgets as well as quinceañeras and weddings with very elaborate stationery. DGZ holds a 5.0 out of 5 rating with 34 reviews on The Knot, and reviews on WeddingWire and Yelp consistently praise Debbie and her team’s responsiveness, quick turnaround on edits, and the quality of the finished product. The site also states it has been featured in outlets including Houston Brides, Expertise.com, Junebug Weddings, and The Knot Magazine.
Tips before booking
- Book your appointment early: for quinceañeras and weddings, more lead time means more room for production, proofs, and corrections before your mailing date.
- Get pricing in writing as soon as design and quantity are set, including whether there’s a charge for printed proofs, extra revisions, or shipping.
- Bring a near-final guest count to the appointment — it directly affects total cost and how much paper stock is needed.
- Ask about production turnaround if your event is only a few months out — it isn’t published on the site and can vary by season.
- If you’re not local, confirm how the video proof-approval process works before committing, so you don’t get surprised by color or size once the physical package arrives.
As with any vendor, prices and turnaround times change — confirm everything directly with DGZ at 713-823-3808 before putting down a deposit.
