Please take everything I say here with a grain of salt, as I know how subjective judging invitation design is. As a disclaimer, I looked for unique, bespoke invitations for months for my wedding and nothing really piqued my interest until I saw a design that Lesley and Eve had created for another client. When I inquired about using the same design, I was told that the particular design I wanted was created for a client that did not want their invitations copied. I respected that but asked for something similar. After discussing what our likes and dislikes were over the phone with Lesley, we decided to go with a bespoke, rather than an a la carte design. What this means is that we wanted a design unique to us rather than something we chose out of A Day in May's existing arsenal. We worked for a little over a month on our design. For some reason, I really felt that Lesley and Eve weren't fully invested in our design. Perhaps it's because we asked for something a lot like what another client had already produced and stymied their creativity or perhaps it's because I got my heart set on an invitation suite that they didn't feel that they could reproduce. Whatever the reason, neither I nor my now-husband were impressed with either the proofs that they sent us or, frankly, the final product. I think that what we were most disappointed by was that it seemed that for many of the ideas and design aesthetics, my husband or I had to come up with the ideas and edits instead of Lesley and Eve coming up with them. Now, as I said before, I know that design is very subjective and that we, as the clients, have to give the designers plenty of inspiration and guidance to work with, but I felt that Lesley and Eve would make our requested changes and then...nothing else. No added creative elements or other design whammies that we were hoping that they would deliver. Instead, it felt like we got the bare minimum in effort and enthusiasm. Of all the facets of my wedding planning (and believe me I know I can be a handful), I ultimately was let down the most by my invitations. I paid over $2500 for 75 invitations with reply cards--nothing else. For that price, I really expected more from these ladies and was crestfallen with the experience and the work product. I really want to say wonderful things about all my wedding vendors, but the honest truth was that A Day in May was a "miss" for us. Based on the two other glowing reviews that are on Yelp, maybe I am the outlier, but I would not recommend them. There is a lot of talent out there in the letterpress industry and I wish that I had picked someone who was less established and therefore, more enthusiastic about my wedding invitations. read more

Eve has now done the wedding invitations for myself, my brother, and my sister. She is super patient and kinda which was important to us as we didn't know a lot going into the process. She worked with us on all our request and even once her part was over she helped share details with the individual printing the envelopes and doing the name cards (her referral). I couldn't recommend anyone better! read more

Fantastic!!! The owners, Lesley and Eve, create amazing letter-pressed wedding invites, which can be customized for you, or you can choose from their a la carte options. I went with a la carte (which is a little less expensive) and everyone has oohed and aahed over the invites. read more

I can not say enough good things about A Day in May and the two super talented gals that run the company, Eve and Lesley. As an event planner I have had the opportunity to work with many talented designers but these two take the cake! Their attention to detail, creativity and ability to create custom printed pieces perfectly tailored to each client's specific needs is unbelievable! And their talents don't begin and end with wedding invitations - they created my brand identity which get complimented continuously! All of my clients that have worked with Eve and Lesley have gone on to do moving cards, Christmas cards, birth announcements, birthday invitations, etc. with these gals and that loyalty speaks volumes for how dazzling these ladies are. THE BEST! read more

Eve and Lesley designed the invites for our wedding in South Carolina. I loved the invites and got complements from everyone who attended. We wanted a more casual and festive style of invitation to complement the outdoor wedding and beach weekend events. With basically no direction from me the gave me just what I wanted. They also gave me great guidance that helped me plan all the wedding decor - pick a color scheme for the invites and integrate into all your plans.... I am sure all of you who are planning a wedding know that noone gives free advice... read more

Working with Eve and Lesley on the invitations and paper goods for my wedding was by far the most enjoyable part of my wedding planning. They are very creative and talented designers who are smart, fun, open-minded, organized, and a pleasure to work with. I had collected examples and reviews of many designers after I got engaged and am so, so glad I went with A Day in May. My fiance and I had decided to do a small wedding followed by a large party a few weeks later, and A Day in May designed all the paper goods for both events. They illustrated their range in being able to design gorgeous invitations for both an intimate garden ceremony and a big, black-tie city party. They were happy to work with traditional elements but were also great with trying new ideas, and I was really impressed with their ability to easily find and create beautiful images and source more unusual printing techniques when required. The pieces were turning out so well that as the months went on I ordered more designs from Lesley than I originally intended. The pieces added such warmth and style to the events, setting the tone in the lead-up to the wedding and now serving as wonderful keepsakes now that the events are over. If anything, I wish I'd come up with even more pieces to include. I would recommend A Day in May for any and all of their design services - you will end up with a gorgeous invitation suite that is worth every penny, and you will really enjoy yourself throughout the design process. I am already looking forward to the next excuse I have to work with them. read more

I had the best time planning and picking out my wedding invitations with Lesley and Eve at A Day in May that I think that we'll have to renew our vows and go through the process all over again. They are just a joy to work with and a perfect pair. But the best part about working with A Day in May is that they do exactly what you hope for from someone you're hiring to do something important and personal: listen carefully, take it in and develop ideas that seem to take what you were always thinking but didn't know it and bring it to life. With A Day in May the client comes first and with the design process there is so much back and forth that this becomes really important. At one point in the process a color hadn't come out quite as expected, and they just changed it when it was probably something we did in the first place at my direction. The entire experience was a joy and I couldn't recommend them more. read more
