I love stationary and it was so much fun to go through large book after large book of samples with Linda's help. We were able to create a perfect plan - utilizes some of Smock's templates and Linda's graphic designer. Linda helped me to make decisions that would allow me to stay in budget - for example she recommended not doing an envelope liner as it looks cool but most people won't notice it. We worked with a graphic designer of Linda's to design our own art deco wedding logo which we used on all our materials and on a tote bag as the thank you gift. We printed the save-the-dates and the invitations with Smock, and did digital printing for the rest. Talking to Linda in-person or over email was always great. She truly card about the finished product. I'm so glad we worked with her on wedding stationary.

I have a graphic design background, but no longer have the burning desire, time, and energy to…read morecreate anything printed ... this also applies to my own wedding invitations. Searching online and locally for well-designed, quality invitations, custom or mass produced was a time consuming and difficult task. I scoured hundreds of images and found myself reluctantly flipping through card store catalogues, in hopes of finding something that would delight and also save me from becoming a graphic designer again. I've always respected and admired letterpress printing for being one of the finest (and most expensive), traditional, printing techniques reserved for very special events. Our wedding was a time to bite the bullet and go letterpress. In SF, "retro" looking designs were more readily available as a letterpress option, which wasn't our first choice, but we were open to it. TWICE, I called a pretty well-Yelped reviewed stationery studio that offered these looks, but they did NOT return my voice mail the first time. The second try, I wanted to see if they would allow me to browse their selections within that day (called in the morning on a Wednesday), granted it was last minute, but still, it was a no go. Parked in my car, with no invitation resources to head to, I Googled "letterpress, wedding invitation, san francisco" ... up popped "Burns & Associates". I called them on the spot and they welcomed me to come by anytime! I drove over to the Laurel Village area, within a residential street, walked through a little alleyway between homes and entered their lovely studio. I was greeted warmly, like a friend, by Jamie. She offered me a seat and had already pulled aside some catalogues and samples of the most beautifully designed letterpressed invitation suites. I was IN LOVE. I mean, I LOVED everything she showed me ... I tell ya, it was so refreshing after flipping through pages of mediocre designs at the other mainstream card shops. Immediately, we got our order underway. The entire process and our service from Burns was professional, and wonderful. We were not a number somewhere. Our invitations were the best I've seen. I look forward to working with them again! Pocket-book is lighter by: $2300

This has been my steady print shop for a variety of business purposes spanning the past 30+ years…read more When my previous employer closed their business, my needs changed so it was mainly for business cards or envelopes that I would seek their services. Heck, they even helped me in formatting and fitting an Excel spreadsheet form of my financial statements for the banks onto an 8 x 14 sheet format. Yes, trust me, that was complicated. Recently, I enlisted their help in printing programs for a memorial service. The mortuary told me a few days before the service that they could only print them on 8 x 11 sheets of paper which made the print difficult to read. After printing a mock-up copy on my office printer, I brought it here and told them that I needed 250 copies by Friday afternoon for a Saturday service. Nutshell, it was ready Friday morning, double stapled on glossy paper. Mission accomplished. Buf thanks to Laura and her mom for helping me with this and getting it done as promised. Hopefully my best job with them will be under happier circumstances.
