My Fiancé and I found 221 Creations after 8 failed attempts trying to order our wedding invitations from an online vendor. After the terrible experience with an online vendor, we d...
ecided to look elsewhere since we would be sending out our invitations in a few weeks and thank God we did! We called 221 Creations and spoke with Mary Kay and we instantly felt better about the situation. She set up an appointment with us and assured us we didn’t need to panic about the time strain. She showed us a binder full of all of her wedding invitation designs and it was difficult to pick a design because we loved them all! Mary Kay was more than willing to work within our budget! We picked the perfect design for our wedding invitations and the following day we already had our design proof to approve. When we got our invitations we were so ecstatic! We couldn’t be happier that the online vendor failed us because it lead us to this fabulous store! We will also be buying our thank you cards from here after our wedding in June. We are so excited to send out our beautiful invitations to all of our friends and family! My only wish is that I would have known about 221 Creations sooner so that we could have gotten our save the dates from there as well. If you want affordable, high quality and elegant invitations for any kind of event, I HIGHLY recommend 221 Creations!!
I loved working with 221 Creations! I worked with Beth when creating my invitations and place cards. She did a wonderful job and they turned out perfectly. This is a great shop to ...
work with since they take the time to help with the little details. They also can create the designs that you imagine and make them into a reality. Beth came to the rescue when I needed programs. I decided to do programs last minute and they were done flawlessly. I can’t say enough great things about 221 Creations and will defiantly recommending them to anyone planning a wedding.

-you notes! The paper elements for our wedding were something important to me and I was happy to work with a business that created beautiful designs!
Mary Kay was incredibly friendly and excited to work with us! We were able to meet each time at their studio in Downer's Grove. Mary Kay worked with us in great detail for each element of stationary we needed. We spent a great deal of time color comparing, deciding on fonts, and paper qualities. If you value details, this is a great place to make sure your final product is perfect! 221 was incredibly flexible to work with our vision for our invites and other items. Their designers did a great job capturing the themes of our wedding and incorporating them into our stationary! The products we received were of top quality! The papers were gorgeous as was the print work!
Most of our items arrived in a timely manner. Some elements took a bit longer to arrive through special order and/or printers delay.
I would advise brides and grooms to allow extra time when having items created and printed. We cut a few deadlines a little close due to delays. I also experienced a little difficulty with hours of the shop. My husband and I work 9am-5pm Monday - Friday and the only days we could really pick items up were on Saturdays. This became a bit of a hassle when picking items up. If the shop owners were away and had staff filling in, they some times could not locate our items or they seemed to not understand what we were looking for.
Those hiccups aside, I was extremely happy with our finished products. Mary Kay was wonderful about responding to emails quickly! They were incredibly flexible about editing designs and working with our budgets. I recommend them to any bride and groom who desire personalized and beautiful stationary!
