Pink Tulip was wonderful to work with. I worked directly with Adrienne, one-on-one, and we created beautiful, customized, one-of-a-kind wedding invitations that all of my guests were raving about. Since we were having a destination wedding in Austin, although I am from there as well, we wanted our invitations to be comprehensive packets - including the accommodations where we had our room block, our website information, differently colored and designed inserts for our western-themed Rehearsal Dinner for the appropriate people, and the RSVP card and envelope. I only wanted to do 1 mass mailing after the Save-the-Dates, and The Pink Tulip and Adrienne ensured that I got exactly what I wanted for a terrific price.
However, I didn't just stop using The Pink Tulip after our invitations. Adrienne designed and made our Welcome Bags, she made an incredible and custom-map of Austin that we included in our Welcome Bags (highlighting my husband's and my favorite locations, recommendations, and wedding-weekend locations), and she did our custom-made table name cards. Everything that she worked on for us was done with plenty of time to spare, and any time I had any issues or something unexpected came up (like me accidentally ordering 25 fewer invitations than I had thought) she went the extra mile to help me get the rest of the way there.
Anyway, if design is important to you, which it certainly is to me as a part-time web designer, then The Pink Tulip is the way to have control over your end product without doing any of the design work. What's more, Adrienne nailed most of the designs on the first round of proofs, which made getting things out extremely efficient. I'd highly recommend The Pink Tulip based on my wedding experience with them alone - they're terrific, local, very one-on-one, dependable, and reliable. More like friends now after the whole process than merely vendors. read more
