Hella Handcarved

Hella Handcarved is a Bay Area printmaking studio offering live, guided Wedding Print Bars. We design and hand-carve custom stamps for your event, then run a print station during a planned moment such as cocktail hour, a welcome party, or the first hour of the reception. Guests print a keepsake on-site (totes, archival cards, bandanas, napkins, or tea towels) and take it home the same day. The station keeps people engaged between main moments, makes mingling easier, and results in favors guests actually use or save. Ideal for rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, receptions, and non-traditional wedding weekends.

We design the station to fit your timeline and space, then run it so it stays polished and welcoming: cohesive setup, clear signage and instructions, step-by-step guest guidance, active line management, an easy entry point for every comfort level, and quality control so prints come out clean. The station is meant to feel light, social, and connective, giving guests something to do that naturally sparks conversation and laughter. You choose one signature format (totes, keepsake cards, print wall, or elevated textiles) and we build the station around it. Sliding-scale tiers are available, and accessibility accommodations can be built in.

In three words: Collaborative, Creative, Supportive
