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).

During the planning process, she was quick to respond to emails I had with questions. She created digital images of the invitations so that I could look over anything and make any changes. 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! And not only that, but they were completed & ready for pick up sooner than anticipated. Thank you Lindsay for helping make our wedding memorable, special, and stress free!!!

Melissa is super responsive and very easy to work with - she had a blazing fast turn around time on everything we sent her way and as we got to see our save the dates, etc ended up purchasing more items because they just turned out so amazing. I would highly recommend and I am positive we will use her again for other paper goods - although she specializes in weddings, I also loved her designs for Thank You cards, etc. Edit - I also loved all of the reviews we were able to do - very high quality and looked very much like the "real thing". Paper quality was amazing as well and she worked really closely with us to make sure we stayed in budget while certainly not compromising quality. We even had to do a last minute re-print of our programs due to a flower girl change (not her fault obviously) and she got them done SO fast - we still had everything finalized 2-3 weeks before the big day with room to spare.

She gives you paper choices that you don't realize cannot be written on and then tells you it's the paper you chose! She was a week late getting us the invitations and could not have cared less.

Shame on me for trusting her! Calling the BBB tomorrow.

If you don't read anything else of this review, know that Jeshua was super creative in creating my…read morefiancée's ring and that his work is of the highest quality. My experience with Jesh was my first time purchasing fine jewelry, and he made it so that my confidence in him and my purchase never faltered throughout the whole process. Being that the diamond I was using in my fiancée's engagement ring was my late Grandmother's, I knew I had to find a setting that was equally as special to house it. Any old setting was not going to cut it. The catch was that I had no idea how to express in a ring the 2 most important things my fiancée and I shared - a love of nature and music. Jesh was able to take these 2 broad themes - the only 2 things I gave him to go off of - and bring them to life. The design ended up being elegant, unique and beautiful. Jesh was very communicative throughout the whole process. At the start I informed Jesh of my 1 month deadline, so the whole thing from conception to finished product was finished in that tight time frame. He was incredibly enthusiastic about the process, and he listened carefully and made adjustments after the initial sketch to make sure I was getting what I wanted. I was amazed at how much detail Jesh was able to put into the ring. Many of my friends who saw the initial sketch were skeptic about how ambitious the design was. In the end my fiancée has received nothing but the highest compliments, and all skepticism was squashed completely after seeing the finished product. I would not hesitate to have Jesh make jewelry for me again. In fact, there has already been talk about having him make a complimentary wedding band for the ring.
