Gem Printing Co.

a decision now and this is it. The gentleman helping me did not want to spend time helping me find what I needed. Then I was told they couldn't create the thank you cards I wanted with the monogramm from my invitations that THEY made. I went to Scriptura for my programs because Gem DOES NOT do programs. Scriptura took a picture of my monogramm and made the EXACT SAME ONE on my programs for me. I have no idea why Gem couldn't do that for my thank you cards. As I mentioned, my invitations were gorgeous, and the price was affordable, but they are not a complete one-stop-shop.

ore sending the final draft to the printer. I received many compliments on my invitations and the prices were great! Highly recommended!

make you feel bad if you were on a budget, which I found that other places around town were like that. If they were busy on the phone, they would answer emails with all my questions in seconds. I will certainly be back for other stuff in the future.

thing you suit your budget.

an apology and was just told that the new ones would come in in about a week. A week later, I got a call from the manager informing me that the save the dates came in but AGAIN they came in with the Chinese symbol. It was incredibly frustrating! When we went to finally pick them up, the manager was not at all apologetic. He said "accidents happen here all the time and it is what it is." While I understand that accidents happen, it happened twice, no one bothered to call me when it happened the first time to let me know they would be delayed, and we never once received an apology. DON'T GO THERE!

tting me choose the font size or monogram size then charging me when I asked to make them larger. It seems that they find ways to make some extra cash and it really is just annoying especially when you are already paying for an entire wedding.

me and are very willing to give advice, just be aware that their advice comes from a very traditional idea of wedding invitations and wording.

I would definitely use them again.

had them help me design a customized monogram that was done in a matter of a day. Would highly recommend them for low cost invitations.

ACK in a month to order them. So we come back in a month and they neglected to tell us that if we wanted colored or embroidered font and printed envelopes it would take much longer. By then we didn't have that time, but we would have it they hadn't sent us away the first time. We ended up finding another alternative that worked out fine. So we asked if they had matching programs. They don't do programs at all. Why not? They print announcements and invitations that are the same shape and size of programs. They even sell napkins and matchbooks. They did, however, offer to sell us the paper (not matching, just any paper). The lady also argued with me because I wanted to mention on the invitation that it was a Catholic wedding so my Texas family would be prepared to sit for that long. She said "people don't state that it is Catholic. It's understood" despite my explanations. I finally told her I don't care what "people" do. This was MY (our) wedding. I invitations I received we very nice...hence at least 2 stars. But this is not a one stop shop for wedding needs, and keep in mind that every little thing tacks on more time.

d understanding of the style we were looking for. She then showed us a uniquely designed custom invitation and instructed us on how to get a similar look for less by altering one of the designs in their pre-fab books. I was so pleased with the service that I ended up ordering my invitations, shower thank you notes, wedding thank you notes, engraved cake knives and personalized cake napkins from the store. All of these items were done beautifully in a very short period of time. In addition, the cost was far less than the quotes I was given at all of the other stores. I have received countless complements on the elegant simplicity of my invitations. GEM is the place to go for quality products, caring customer service and unrivaled prices.

assy, traditional, and a great price. We were so happy, we went back and got napkins, cozies, and my thank you notes (to match my invites), and pencils (a joke from my dad to my CPA husband), my cake knife, and my guest book. It was a one stop shop!

nd the prices can't be beat. We have gotten so many compliments on our invitations and the presentation, even with the simple design and colors. They were also very quick to have the invitations printed. I told them I was not in any rush to get them, since the wedding was so far away, but they still had them ready for me within a week! Our invitations turned our beautiful. I would highly recommend them to everyone!

g. I also bought my garter and toasting glasses here. I prices are very reasonable and they have tons of choices!

could have been made larger and more centered to make it more appealing. They were great to work with face to face, but I was let down that they allowed the fonts be so small. The average person doesn't realize how wedding stationary will turn out... Also, they couldn't tell me if certain invitations required additional cost for the stamp. I probably would have spent more money on other invitations if they could have given me a definite "no" on weight of the invite..

mblems, style, etc. would definitely use them again.

process from start to finish making sure we got exactly what we wanted and that we ordered everything we needed. We did our printing there as well and when we found a few mistakes on envelopes (names we had misspelled, incorrect addresses, etc.) Melissa and the rest of the GEM staff reprinted the envelopes free of charge. GEM is a great place to go for invitations along with personalized wedding things. We got our cake serving set (Lenox Pearl) engraved there and it turned out beautifully. The only downfall with GEM is that they are closed on Mondays. On another note, 36 years ago my mom and dad got their wedding invitations at GEM as well :)

took the time to fix the mistakes and work with us. Our entire order was ready in less than 2 weeks, and my invitations looked amazing!

d, and when we printed the invitations, we felt that they weren't what they wanted. They re-printed the invitations for us for free with the adjustments we asked for. Phenomenal service, quality, and value!

find anything like it so I settled on something different. I was very satisfied with what I got but later found what I really wanted online. So If you want it im sure they have it you just got to spend the time looking for it because they have so much its hard to find. Other then that every thing else there was great and great prices on most things. I would use them again.

We received so many compliments on our custom invitations!!! They were great!!!

you choose the proper paper and ink and add a motif (i.e. fleur de lis, simple flower, flourish) you can have a pretty classy upscale-looking invitation at a much lower price point than a boutique store. The staff was very helpful at getting the wording and niceties in order, but you have final say on how the invitation will read. One thing I will say is it better to overshoot the number you will need because reprinting is extremely costly and we had several invitations (about 20 out of 200) that the paper had a wrinkle or flaw and were unusable.

ou helpful advice while being conscious of your budget!

r next day service. Everything turned out beautiful and correct. I was very happy with the service and quality of the products I ordered! The ordering process is easy and the staff is helpful! Thanks Gem!!
