This is an invitation design and production company in San Diego…read more I know one of the people who work for Dolldine. I am planning my wedding and I thought I would just print everything at home alone. The week before I was going to send my invites, my laptop died. Caput. Dead. I freaked out! How can I print my invites without my computer? I contacted Nate and he was able to help me with printing. I had all the rest of stuff done, and I just needed printing. He was able to help me with the process. Very thorough- he made sure I saw proofs and approved everything before printing. When something wasn't just quite right, he'd fix it, and he's work with me to make it happen. I had such a huge relief when I got the printed vellum for my invites. Just so you know, When I put the vellum onto the paper with ribbon, it took me and 3 friends a total of 4 hours to make 250 invitations. This is serious time consuming work. That did not include that fact that I already addressed and stamped the envelopes and put the response card in each envelope ahead of time. Very time consuming. Nate will work with you on prices. You can get a consultation in person in San Diego, or he can do things with you on the phone or online. I am having him print menu cards and I can't wait to see how they turn out. There is enough stress with wedding planning, and he pulled through to help me in a crisis moment.

Geraldine was amazing to work with, when we first called her she set an appointment immediately…read more When we met, she had everything laid out in front of us, from her personal lookbooks, an example board, font colors, color swatches, different kinds of paper, basically everything thing you want or need for invitations. The actual appointment took about an hour, but in that time we had chosen colors, papers, envelopes, the layout, basically everything we needed in the invitation but the text (take note that we had no idea what we were doing, not even the color scheme for the wedding, the only thing done was the venue). Over the course of a week we had the basic text done, a contract signed, and the text fonts laid out. The actual editing of the invitation text took about 2-3 weeks (not Geraldine's fault) and was extremely difficult because my sister kept changing her mind as to how she wanted the directions punctuated (Capital letters on the turns, period placement, etc.) and my parents kept changing the wording on the Vietnamese text. I felt extremely bad for Geraldine because we were basically the family from hell with 5 people emailing her for proper corrections which should have been done in a day but took us weeks because my family is indecisive. But anyways, even though we emailed her about 300 times, she was still very professional and very graceful when working with us. She never even hinted a sign of frustration, and she was very prompt in answering our emails (despite how many were sent at a time). Overall I highly recommend Geraldine because she is affordable, she does quality work, she's professional, and all the invitations come in cute boxes with pink tissue (which added extra excitement because my sister looked like a kid on christmas opening her wedding invitations).

There were also a lot of options provided - such as wax seals, stamped return envelopes, etc Our invitations were beautiful, and we received a lot of compliments from our guests!

I'm honored to be the first to review Sandra at Inviting Invites. Sandra was a peach to work with…read more She is very personable, impeccable follow-thru, and timely. We found her through the Bridal Bazaar and decided to use her services. It also helped that she offered a discount as we attended the BB. Her work is amazing and I recommend her for any invites, whether wedding, birthdays, special events, etc. She created our wedding invites. Although, we canceled our wedding and enjoyed looking at our proofs, she was with us through the entire process. Sandra was also kind enough to refund us half of our deposit (good faith) even though her terms on her contract state that the deposit was non-refundable. Now, that is great business! You have a loyal customer here! When we have any special occasions that need professional invites, I am definitely going back to Sandra and Inviting Invites! :)

Sandra invitations for our March 29, 2014 were fantastic. I'll have to ask my wife where the sole…read moreinvitation we kept is. What I can tell you is this... The reason I started yelping "hard" was a way to acknowledge those who helped us along the wedding process. Not all received 5 stars and I've built a better foundation on criteria so I'm not loose with them. Sandra's work was intricate, detailed, and wonderfully handcrafted. From the envelopes, the color schemes and designs, and the presentation-- we could not have been happier. The icing on the cake was when I went to pick them up. She had them organized wonderfully and I saw all the other projects she was working on. Her heart is truly in her work. She had an example invitation for me to review which was unexpected. That was very kind of her. Prices I would say range from $3.75-$5.00 per invite (with tax included). I don't know what to compare it to but the quality of the work is top TOP notch. Wish we could've received a military discount but you can't hold that against someone. Ultimately- our incredible invitations set the precedent for how the rest of the wedding was going to go. Great working with Sandra.

I sent her a message, and she replied quickly. We had an initial Skype consultation. she asked me some questions on the style and material of the invitation cards, place cards welcome sign and based on my budget she came up with a schedule and itemized plans. Since we were getting married in Balboa park, I wanted our invitation card to have a sketch of one of Balboa Park's iconic Museums. Claudia came up with several mock up sketches to chose from. Her price was reasonable and she immediately captured my vision. Deadlines were met and Claudia did an amazing job. Our guests had nothing but positive comments to make on the little detail touches on the invitation card and place cards. I would highly recommend Claudia as she is very sweet to work with and you can trust her with any of your stationary needs.

Simply going out of their way for me, to make sure everything was going as planned, was such a big help. Cindy took extra time to design not one, not two, but several designs to choose from..now who does that these days? She updated me on the status very frequently, and I got my invites done within days. (Oh btw, she was 8-9 months pregnant at the time too!) With a lil extras added to the order, I was very impressed with the wedding invitations. It was fun working with LOL, I almost wish the process hadn't end! Such a lovable couple that have an eye for designing letterpress. Trust me, you'll love working with Cindy and Jason! They are like no other!

I came across Lavender Ink from a girl friend's baby shower designs. For the baby shower, they…read moremade the most amazing themed baby shower invitations, print outs, decorations, etc. The print quality and paper and everything was just so exquisite, we had to use them for our wedding. Lavender Ink is a small and modest company run by Marissa and Brooke. Between these two girls, they have a level of talent that competes with the big stationary groups that design any sort of print work that you would need. I was a little hesitant to use those websites that you just pick one of the designs and type in your details. It wasn't the warm and personalized approach I sought, and I wanted something unique to really make people think "Wow!" when they opened our wedding invitations. Working with Lavender Ink was the BEST decision I had for my wedding. I worked with one of the CEOs, Marissa, who gave us top quality, personalized assistance. She's SUPER sweet and she even met with us in person, answered my millions of emails and phone calls timely, and just made sure every single minute aspect (even the way the ribbon was tied) was perfect. As a slightly neurotic Type AA personality myself, I most definitely appreciated her attention to detail, creativity, timeliness and communication. In the first stage, Marissa and Brooke, helped develop some unique designs. They came up with so many intricate, unique and creative invitations (even laser cut detail!) that it was so hard to pick from! They thought of everything from the type and color of paper (how much sheen was on the paper, the weight), the type of string to use to tie the invites, seals, etc. I don't think I saw a single website that even considered these options. I also would not have thought of these little things without Marissa and Brooke's guidance. They worked with us closely to tweak the design down to exactly what we wanted, and we couldn't have been happier with the result. Everyone was blown away by our invites, and I can bet you that no one had invites like ours. During the production stage, Marissa took it upon herself to assemble all of our invites (we had over 250 invites). She painstakingly ensured that everything was perfect. Stamps, labels, seals, etc. - down to the way the bow was tied.. perfect. I can't contain how excited I was to see what the final product was. It was also really exciting to hear compliments across the board about our invites. If you need anything that relates to invites, save the dates, table numbers, etc. - the girls at Lavender Ink would be that small business that provides A+ service and quality. There wasn't a single thing that I would have changed or requested from Lavender Ink. They set the bar in terms of service, quality, and creativity that any bride-to-be seeks for her big day. They are a small business but perform big. I highly recommend Lavender Ink, Marissa and Brooke, for anything you need on your wedding day. Once we turn the corner toward baby-prep, you can bet who I will be calling for baby announcements!

I was immediately drawn to their "Fall Birch Tree" design for my October 2018 wedding, and absolutely loved the idea of using plantable paper. I know that invitations usually require a lot of thought and money from the couple, but always end up in the trash. Having an eco-friendly and beautiful option was important to me. Once I started the process of designing my invitations, Sam was so helpful and professional. We emailed back and forth a few times and after my fourth (complimentary) proof, the invitation was perfect! We included a matching RSVP card and a "Details" card we created together with helpful information for guests. ForeverFiances wants to be sure that you are completely satisfied with your design before sending to the printer and emailing the invoice. When the invitations arrived, they were even more beautiful in person! The option to have FF address my envelopes was super easy and convenient, and they looked fantastic, too. I am so excited for all of my guests to receive my invitations and cannot wait to see my invitation bloom into wildflowers. Thanks so much, ForeverFiances, for being such an important part of my wedding!
