It truly was a pleasure working with Leslie for all the collateral for the wedding. Not only would I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to have original and sharp looking paper anything for an event, I'm pretty much looking for any excuse to use her services again for any event I'm planning in the future.

She provided:

- Envelopes with printed lining, with return address on the flap, and also the address of guest on the front: She presented several lining options, as well as different envelope sizes, colors, and flap types too! She also offered to assemble the DIY linings for all the envelopes.

- High quality Tri-fold invitation pocket cards: I was able to choose from different paper textures as well as colors and flap types, she also mailed samples to me

- Formal invitation card including venue direction card, RSVP card, accommodations card: I was able to choose from different paper textures, thicknesses and colors, she also mailed samples to me

- Table number cards: I had table number cards that had pictures that I scanned and wanted each image to be different for each table. Leslie did a great job making sure all the numbers and pictures matched up.

- Name cards: standard folded name cards. She also customized it by color to differentiate for meal choices and special diet needs, so the venue knew who got which meal.

- Wedding ceremony programs: We originally were going to do petal fan program at first (which she also offers) but we ended up changing course to a square fold wedding program, I also really wanted a very specific font on all the collateral for the wedding, Leslie was able to deliver beautifully and come up with great layouts to fit our text heavy program in a elegant way.

- Kraft paper circle tags for tea forte wedding favors: She offered different colors and shapes for the favor tags, as well as presented several design options to choose from.

The fact that I was living and marrying in California and she being based out of New York had no real effect on her being able to deliver her services very quickly and at a reasonable price. She has an amazing turn around time and is super organized. There was an incredible amount of emails that were exchanged and she kept track of everything. She sent proofs of everything and handled edits very well. AND I would email her in the middle of the night (remember we have a 3 hr time difference) and she is INCREDIBLY responsive. That is probably the #1 quality that I really appreciated during this entire process. She is very easy to work with.

If it wasn't for budgets and stuff like that, I'm sure I would have had signs for EVERYTHING at my wedding, but I had to stop it somewhere :)

As long as you have some kind of vision for what you want, I think she should always be able to deliver what you need. She also has many original designs to choose from, so if you really don't have any idea of what you want, you can always look for inspiration for your event collateral by looking through her blog portfolio.

BTW, She recently opened her etsy shop which is featuring some of her original designs.

I can't wait to plan my friends' future baby/bridal showers and birthdays so that I can do this all over again! :)

Side note: I also referred a friend to her to make bridal shower invitations on very short notice (my friend was drowning and overwhelmed with a to do list and studying for GMATS, she was desperate for help and also working on a tight budget) so I contacted Leslie really late in the night (it was probably early AM where she's at) and she being her amazing self, of course turned it around super quick, LIKE A CHAMPION!!!

Thanks for everything Leslie! 5 Star service all around
