Rude and unreasonable! Do not use them!!!…read more Ordered our wedding invitations from here. The outside envelopes came back without seals (their mistake) and we had to hand seal most of the envelopes ourselves. Due to COVID, our order was delayed (which is understandable), so we were pressed for time for that reason and needed to get our invitations out ASAP. A number of them unfortunately opened in the mail. We called to see if they could help in any way (and even offered to pay full price for reprints, etc.) and they told us "it wasn't urgent" and essentially that it's our problem not theirs.

I will most definitely be using them for any future stationary needs and have already recommended her store to many friends.

We were in the area and stopped by the store. We didn't know they were asking customers to make appointments at the time, but luckily they were able to squeeze us in. After discussing our options, we ended up getting the canvas stretched. We left our painting with them and it took a few weeks before we could pick it up. They even provided some hardware for hanging it up. We loved the service we received and highly recommend!

Pricing is competitive. Not overly expensive. The inks are locally made by hand. I would definitely order from Birmingham again.

I went to Candle Co. by myself one day because I was bored and I am so happy I did. It ended up…read morebeing such a fun experience. I walked in and was immediately greeted by the staff. They were super friendly and warm, which made the start of everything feel really comfortable. They walked me through the whole process. First I picked out the candle jar I wanted. Then they gave me a paper where I had to write down the scent options I preferred from all the fragrances they had available. After I listed out the ones I liked, they helped me narrow it down to my top three and we combined those into the final fragrance for my candle. It was honestly such a cool process. Balancing all the scents was a little tricky at first because everything smelled good in a different way, but the employee guided me through which ones were stronger or more subtle. Super helpful. By the end I felt like a candle expert... hahaha just kidding, but low-key I kind of did. The only downside was that I had to wait until the next day to pick up my candle because it needed to set overnight. Other than that the whole experience was amazing. I'm absolutely coming back to make more candles. If you're ever bored or looking for something different to do, I definitely recommend Candle Co. It's super fun, relaxing, and a cute little way to express yourself. It would be a great activity with friends too.
