I was very nervous as I needed to get the invitation design finalized in a very short time frame (less than 2 weeks) and dealing with a very picky almost 16 year old. I typically don't wait for the last minute however the person who I originally hired backed out at the very last minute with no notice.
Olga was fantastic! She worked tirelessly for 2 weeks straight ... (and believe me she had to redesign a number of times!) to make sure I not only had the design finalized, but she also put the entire invitation package together before I left for my business trip, so the only thing my daughter and husband had to do was put them in the mail!
Planning a wedding can be extremely stressful especially when you have a strict budget. My biggest fear/ concern when hiring you was definitely the cost of the invites. I had a destination wedding and did not want the traditional "plain" invite. I of course had done my research and fell in love with the passport invite. When I met with Olga, she was very friendly. She asked all about my wedding and color scheme, etc. I had printed samples of what I was looking for and she was completely on board. She wrote down all of my ideas and even gave me some homework lol. She had me write down how we met, special dates, significant events, anything that she could incorporate into the invite which was great!
After our initial meeting Olga went to the drawing board and started working on the invite. Communication was never an issue, she was always prompt with replies and phone calls. When it came down to pricing, the first price I was given was not in my budget and I became a little worried since I had already fallen in love with the invite. I expressed my concerns to Olga and she let me know she would work with the print shop to find alternatives options. She called me back and gave me several suggestions one of which was to make the rsvp smaller instead of the longer paper boarding pass look alike and also eliminate the envelope for the rsvp. Instead we made it a post card type rsvp and that cut on pricing. Yay!!!
I would absolutely recommend the invitation room to all of my friends. I would let them know that she is easy to talk to, makes your vision her vision, and will help keep you on budget while still providing high quality service.
We were so shocked that not only did Olga get everything designed in the allotted time frame, she stuffed all of the envelopes and delivered them in a bag that almost matched exactly the theme! Olga was able to also suggest some designs we never thought of and incorporated into the design and them of our party.
After starting the process I was surprised with how great Olga was at keeping me informed and communicating what was going on etc. she went above and beyond to make my invite look amazing. She would do her own research with regards to the resort info and pictures and make helpful suggestions as to what she thought would look good and what should be included. She sent me several drafts of the invite prior to sending it to print, and never hesitated when I wanted minor things changed. Working with Olga I felt like it was a friendship and not just a business transaction. She went above and beyond for me and even bought me a travel themed box/case when she delivered the invites to me.
I would definitely recommend The Invitation Room to my friends. If you are looking for someone who is full of excitement, ideas, creativity, and attention to detail, look no further! The Invitation Room has an endless supply of unique ideas for any event or occasion. The Invitation Room is sure to make a lasting impression on all of your guests and sets the tone for an amazing and classy event.
My biggest fear was you being able to capture my vision of my bridal shower invitations and making sure they were sent on-time. Everything went great and was gorgeous and timely!
I was surprised by your intuition and unique ideas that reflected exactly what I was looking for. Your creativity, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail is amazing.
