Erickson Design - Unique Invitations

Beautiful, personalized invitations and wonderful customer service! I recommend them strongly :)

I cannot say enough about how much I love my invitations! All of my friends and family raved about the color and texture, just gorgeous! Bill and Peggy were very responsive to my many, many questions. At the last minute, I decided I wanted matching table numbers to correspond to my invitations. Bill and Peggy had the proof done quickly and got them shipped to my house in plenty of time for the wedding. I am very, very happy and will definitely use Erickson Design again for any future events or announcements.

They make beautiful invitations! I got so many compliments on them. I would probably use them again only because they were that beautiful, but it is very frustrating to work with them. It was just tough getting a response. It takes a while to get a proof, so order early. I would email and get no response. If I called and left a message then they would email me back. Really push them if you order.

Erickson Design have the best quality invitations for your money. Peggy and Bill are fabulous to work with and have very creative ideas. I gave Peggy an idea of having a Cubs ticket as my save the date and she transformed the idea into a beautiful save the date that even the die hard White Sox fans loved. I have received so many compliments on it and definitely recommend them for anyone that is looking for any type of invitations or printing done. I am a more visual person and Peggy and Bill would not only e-mail me samples of some ideas, but they would also provide me with hands on examples so I could see exactly what it would look like. Erickson Design did my entire line of invitations including bridal shower, save the date, rehearsal dinner, wedding invitations, table cards, and thank yous. I was very pleased with everything I received and so many people have asked what company did I use for my invitations. Now I can share my secret with everyone and say that Erickson Design is the way to go! Good luck everyone and thank you Peggy and Bill for making my experience such a positive one!

We were trying to find nice invitations within our budget. Erickson Design did that, but it didn't come easy. They only communicate via email. I called their listed number, and got voicemail. I left a message, and got an immediate email back stating "we only communicate via email." I found that absurd, but whatever, they had what I wanted. We discussed the quantity that we needed and placed the order. The order was delivered and came up short. We let them know, and they sent out more. Since they were handmade, we got some out after our deadline so our guests had less time to RSVP. The replacement ones looked like something happened during printing. A lot of the envelopes had some kind of red ink blotches on them. We never got the envelopes replaced. All on all, we got what we wanted, and to Erickson's credit, they looked fantastic. We got many compliments on our invitations as well. It was just a headache to get them. We spent about 5 months working with them to get our invitations finalized, too much work. A vendor should be easy to work with, not send an email with a question and wait 2 weeks for a response.

I am overall satisfied with my invitations but I felt that customer service was lacking from this vendor. I worked with Peggy to design my invitations and they came out exactly as we requested. She added some unique elements that we loved and provided a wonderful invitation suite.
However, the responsiveness was lacking and it took a few e-mails and finally a threat to pull my business completely to finally get a proof sent to us. We had wanted our invitations sent to our guests by a certain date (which they were aware of) and we failed to even get the proof by that date.
They did make up for it but it left a sour taste in my mouth at the end.

Peggy created stunning invitation suites and menu cards for our wedding. She took a design I loved, but could not otherwise afford and created a unique design that was perfect for us. We got so many compliments! Despite my making multiple changes, and having one bridal meltdown, it all worked out well. The process was not entirely smooth, but Peggy worked really hard to make sure I was happy. She even got us some very detailed and customized menu cards - 10 different versions in less than a 5 day turn-around. (Of course, I do recommend giving them more time!) They can sometimes get very busy, so I would suggest keeping a close eye on each step, be aware that they might need a gentle reminder/follow-up call - but the end product is very well worth it.

Peggy did such a good job staying in touch and creating beautiful pieces of stationary. She worked closely with my event planner, Jennifer Ellen, to make sure everything was optimized and designed accordingly to the wedding theme and ambiance. She created custom boxes with our coat of arms as place cards that later that night were used to fill them with delicious nuts from the nut buffett, that saved me some money by doubling the use of the boxes.
All my stationary had the same coordination of colors and theme and she used our coat of arms without being overwhelming. I couldn have not have found better design, absolutely the best there is in Chicago!

I used Erikson Design for all of my wedding stationary this July 2010. We got our save-the-dates, invitations, programs, menus, place cards, signs, & favors all from Erikson Design. Peggy, the owner, was so sweet and friendly to work with. She let you do whatever you would like and was there to give any creative ideas if wanted. My invitations were impeccable, they were very unique and we got tons of compliments on them. I had found some picture inspiration for our other stationary that I fell in love with and Peggy was more than willing to look at them and then specialize to make them our own. I couldn’t have been happier with our products from Erikson Design, they are truly talented people and really care about what they do-Big thanks!!!

Bill is absolutely wonderful to work with. I've really enjoyed my business cards - they're beautiful done. The workmanship was great and delivery was timely. Also a great price!

Bill and Peggy are wonderful people to work with. They are very flexible, fast and have great aesthetic.

Peggy designed the most stunning wedding invitations for us! The quality of the materials she uses is top of the line! Peggy and Bill were both a pleasure to work with. They had everything done in a timely and professional manner. I received soooo many compliments on the invitations, programs, etc. Initially I was dead set on designing my own invitations on one of the internet invitation companies. So very glad I did not do that. These were absolutely stunning!!!

Peggy and Bill were so great to work with and came up with absolutely stunning invitations. They came up with a beautiful design scheme that tied together our save-the-dates, invitations, programs, table cards, even our thank-you notes! We got so many compliments on their work. I would recommend them to anyone looking for beautiful, unique and memorable invitations for their wedding!

We loved working with Erickson Design. We received so many positive comments from our guests about the invitations and place cards that they designed and made for us. Peggy and Bill provide exceptional customer service. We would DEFINITELY recommend Erickson Design!

Great Customer Service, very friendly. Our invitations were unique and beautiful. I highly recommend this vendor.

The wedding is over and still guests remark aboutour fabulous invitations. "So bright, so custom, so unusual" are just a few of the comments we've heard.
We were impressed by the quality of the print, weight and color of the paper, and the dappled edge effect on the layered pieces. Peggy at Ericksons was a joy to work with, very responsive to all our concerns.

They by far had the most beautiful invitations I had seen. Planning the whole wedding finding the invitations were the most challenging. I had so many compliments on the invitations. They were spectacular. The service was fantastic and they were very professional and warm at the same time. I will refer them to anyone I know looking for invitations.

Working with Peggy and the team at Erickson Design is a fun and easy process. Your end result is quality print products for a great price!
