Our Story
Hey there! I'm Maddie, the Owner and Designer at Elf Made Easy. I’ve had a love of all things paper, design, and miniature for as long as I’ve been alive. How many 8-year-olds do you know that collect paper samples?! After spending 10+ years creating custom stationery and invitations for clients all over the US based out of my studio in Kansas City, I brainstormed the concept behind Fête Box. As time has gone on, my original vision for Fête Box has grown and evolved. Today, we focus solely on our best-selling product--- the Elf Made Easy box.
Design & Quality
One of the most valuable qualities that Elf Made Easy offers is the ability to create a product that cannot be found anywhere else. Each Elf Made Easy is designed and curated as if it were created for our own family. We think you will find that the attention to detail and quality stands out above the crowd. Over the years we've had others attempt to imitate this product, but we remain the originators of the Elf Made Easy box. That's a real testament to the quality of our product, service, and brand.

WHAT DOES FêTE MEAN?
Fête (pronounced fℰt) simply means party in French. Our Founder, Maddie, studied French for several years (and nearly minored in the language during College!) and drew inspiration from the language when developing the Fête Box brand. She thought the ring of "Fête Box" was just perfect, elegant, and unique.
Handmade + Sustainable
Mother Earth is important to us. Here are a few fun facts about our process and the environment:
As many paper items as possible are designed in-house, then printed, cut, packaged, and shipped all by Elf Made Easy!
100% Recycled (and manufactured from windmill power) paper cardstock is used for nearly all of our work. When available, we also seek packaging that is compostable. How awesome is that!
Our Elf Made Easy boxes are assembled by us, and each item is hand-picked by our Founder, Maddie. If we wouldn't use it, we wouldn't expect you to either.
