I visited this boutique a couple of weeks ago because my sister is getting married in Chicago. Being from NYC, I found it to be on par with Manhattan boutiques and then some. (I mean, how great is a black chandelier?) I also really appreciated how very nice and helpful the service was. Aside from unique wedding stuff, I found a necklace (for myself) that I love, and a birthday gift for my boyfriend. My sister loves it because it's in the West Loop and she can run in and get whatever she needs while planning her big day. read more

Smitten was the first place I visited to look at invitations and it was also the last! This place is absolutely adorable and the staff are so friendly and helpful! Wedding planning can be stressful, but I felt in good hands from the moment we had our first consultation. During the process our parents had quite a few requests which meant lots of changes. They were so patient during that whole process and their communication was impeccable. I couldn't be more pleased with how they turned out! Thank you again! read more

If I could give Sascha and Kirstin at Smitten Boutique 10 stars, I would!! I don't know how to thank them enough for all of their help and professionalism. We ordered our wedding invitations from Sascha and the whole process of designing and ordering was a little daunting. We were a bit overwhelmed and confused, but Sascha talked us through the whole process, customized and designed our invitations and basically went 100% above and beyond the call of duty. We have since also ordered our Thank You notes and are using their calligraphy services for addressing our envelopes as well. They have been so communicative, enthusiastic and patient with our millions of questions. I would absolutely recommend them for a variety of wedding needs! read more

Cute stuff -- especially cards and all things bridal: engagement gifts and cards, bridal shower favors, bachelorette goodies, etc. Love it!

Such a unique and personalized experience! It's refreshing to feel like you are truly valued as a customer. Also, so many great ideas and creative invitations! I highly recommend this boutique to anyone getting married or just planning a special event! read more

Thank you Smitten! Smitten was one of my best wedding planning finds! My maid of honor and I had already spent hours sifting through books at several other stationary stores, and we were pretty sick of it. But Smitten was a different experience altogether. As soon as we walked in the door we were offered champagne. And instead of looking aimlessly through 20 different invitation books, we were handed a small box of sample invitations and asked to make a pile of invitations we liked and didn't like. Based on what I had pulled, they were able to guide me to the companies that best fit my style. I had an invitation picked out in no time. We ended up getting our save the dates, invitations, and ceremony programs from Smitten. Kirsten (the owner) and Sasha are beyond wonderful. They spent hours helping me finalize the language and look of each piece and even helped tie the ribbons on the programs when we ran out of time to do so. I should also mention that the boutique is absolutely adorable, and a great place to find all your wedding needs, including bridesmaid and groomsmen gifts. They also offer a Wedding 101 workshop. Based on the informal advice I received from Kirsten, I would highly recommend this class to any newly engaged ladies. Kirsten is so friendly, energetic, and creative, and she has dynamite taste and ideas. I can't recommend Smitten highly enough! I could go on and on.... read more

A cute little boutique if you are looking for wedding, bachlorette, baby gifts. Lots of cute original cards. They have super cute blank cards with different chicago neighborhood info on them. Generally, things are a bit expensive. But, given their inventory is high quality and they are small and local, prices are what I would expect. They always put things in a beautiful bag with a bow, so no need for gift wrap. score. read more

I called stopped into the Smitten Boutique on a random Sunday with my fiance asking for a urgent request to send out last minute invites for my destination wedding ( Guest who were coming were informed a year early so it was more of a keepsake). Oh did i mention this was the weekend before NYE and I wanted the invites back by the 1st week of January ( NUTS) I went in one late evening and Erin and I sat down and designed my invite and kept me in budget. Sure enough the holidays passed and I had my mock up and then a few days later my perfect airline ticket invites arrived. I was so nervous they werent going to get there in time but Smitten made it happen. I will be returning to them for my thank you cards and any other invitations I may ever need. read more

Love Smitten Boutique! I was in the area and decided to stop in since I had some time to spare. I'm glad I did because they have so many cute and fun items. It's a perfect one stop shop if you're looking for a bday, thank-you, wedding/engagement or just because gift. They even have a whole section of kid related items. I bought a few fun books to keep on my coffee table and absolutely fell in LOVE with a light-up globe. The staff there are super friendly and offered to put me on a call/email list when more globes came in since they had just ordered more. They held their offer and notified me right away. I purchased a very unique globe from them and so happy I stopped in there. read more

Smitten Boutique has wonderful gift ideas from engagement, bridal attendant to actual wedding gifts. They also have great everyday gifts and an adorable baby section. You can find everything from frames to jewelry to platters to candles and quality is high-end. I was very impressed with the service I received as well. I will shop at Smitten the next time I need a great gift idea. read more

This is a great boutique for wedding invitations, bridesmaids gifts, and great selection of stationary. They also have cute baby clothes! For all you brides-to-be Smitten offers Wedding 101 workshops every Wednesday. This has helped me out tremendously to plan for the day of the wedding and other tips to help you bring your day together! read more

Eh. This place is ok. I am getting married in October, and as much as I want to support a local business, I can just go online, or elsewhere in the city to find the same things for half the price. They do have some super cute things--the front of the store has bridal picture frames and a wedding tablescape (updated regularly), and the back has bridesmaid gift ideas (lots of fun--albeit overpriced--little trinkets and interesting, thoughtful--but possibly not so useful--gadgets), baby stuff, a jewelry case and cards, and the decor is very girly and chic. There is also a huge section for invitations (which are beautiful) although I have never looked at the prices because the individual cards they have are pretty pricey and I didn't want to feel like I couldn't get something I wanted. read more

I love this place. This store is very elegant with a beautiful chandelier hanging over the register. High quality wedding items, but also cute baby stuff, stationary and gifts. Unique items and a very helpful staff. I was very impressed with the store and will go back for shower gifts. read more

Such a cute boutique! I wish they had been open during the first half of my engagement, I find myself buying things I already have. But it is worth it. And they have a cute baby section in the back, perfect, because, I am going to be an Aunt! The stationary is amazing too! read more

Went in here today and browsed around for 20 min... there were 2 women working in the store. They were sitting at a table together and not once did either of them acknowledge my existence in the store. Never asked me if I needed any help or if I was looking for something in particular. I am just about to order pricey wedding invitations and they had the ones that I am going to order. I was thinking of ordering from them, but this first experience really turned me off. They made it clear they didn't want my business by ignoring me! Nothing all that special in the store. Some cute stationary, but nothing out of the ordinary. read more

A great boutique for wedding gifts and accessories! The store is beautiful and the products are amazing. A wide selection of unique frames, wedding albums, jewelry, & bridesmaids gifts. The store even has a baby section with adorable gifts. They also do wedding consulting and the offices are stunning! A must visit if your planning a wedding or looking for gifts for a friend who just got engaged. read more

Nicole is great to work with! She was very helpful, very responsive, and very accommodating to our demands. We highly recommend her!

Smitten Boutique is a great place to shop for wedding and baby shower gifts. I found an amazing bridesmaid gift, a "bee gee bag" clutch. You customize each clutch by choosing the fabric. They also have unique cards and books we purchased for friends and family attending the wedding. All the store employees are helpful and super nice. Item prices are moderate to pricey. read more

Smitten was a great help with my out of town guests' welcome bags. I went in the week before my wedding and it they were ready to go 5 days later. They put together a really cute personalized box of Chicago-made products. I've also gone here to buy unique wedding related gifts for girlfriends. Highly recommend! read more

Looking for a unique and cute gift for a wedding or a friend who is going to get married... this is the place! It has some traditional things but if you keep looking you will be surprised at the cute different things you can find. read more

I moved into the West Loop earlier this year and was delighted to see cute boutiques on Madison. Hunting for fun cards for my best friend's bachelorette weekend in March, I stumbled into Smitten, found what I needed, and put myself on their email list. Such a cute store! Fast forward to July, I'm engaged and trying to plan my own wedding! Just getting my feet wet, and hearing from friends that I need a "Wedding Planning Notebook" ~ I knew I needed to head to Smitten. They had the #1 best selling planner, and I couldn't wait to get home and dive into it (being the OCD organizer I am). I also attended their free Wedding 101 class yesterday and it was great. Kirstin is wonderful and was able to answer all of my questions and lend such helpful guidance. I'm planning my wedding in Atlanta where my family is, and making decisions over the phone is tedious! We want to make sure our out of town guests have a fabulous weekend in the South, and Kirstin was great about brainstorming with me. I'm sure I'll be visiting Smitten many many more times before the big day, and so thankful it's right around the corner! read more
