Lettered by Shi

We absolutely loved working with Shi! She helped bring our vision to life through her work and added to our special day!! We got so many compliments at our wedding and handed out her information numerous times! We would recommend her to everyone, we will be using Shi in the future!

I hate writing bad reviews but I want to share my story so that others are aware before spending lots of money - We purchased table numbers 1-16 from another couple that bought them from Shi. We needed a few more as we were having a larger wedding. Unfortunately, after paying $72 for three small table signs (17-19), they arrived and we realized 1. They were smaller than the original ones 2. The gold lettering was different 3. The signs were much thinner. It’s worth mentioning that midway through the process after the contract was signed, she told me the price for three signs was going to be $136. I refused to pay that and she backed down to the original prices. After I received signs 17-19 and compared them to the original signs, I contacted her discuss options, before writing this review. Sadly, the “solution” she gave was to pay her more money to remake signs 1-16 to match 17-19. At no point did she offer to refund me or to remake the signs to match the original ones. If it cost $72 for three signs, I had no interest in hearing the total for 16 signs. Yikes. She mentioned it’s in her contract that people can’t resell her work [this is absolutely not enforceable by the way]. So if you’re hoping to resell wedding signage after the fact (which most brides do), you may want to book someone else. I was originally under the impression that the work was hand lettered 100%, but learned that her signs get “sent to production” and she doesn’t actually make them herself. She just designs them. The word “table” was her handwriting but the number was just a basic font. I was also sad when I realized that the signs are made with regular permanent adhesive vinyl you can buy at Michael’s. I was actually able to recreate signs 17-19 in the proper size and proper color gold using signs from Amazon and my cricut in about 45 minutes for about $25. So I wasted $72 for three signs I can’t ever use. If you’re looking for someone who truly makes their signs by hand, every step of the way, Shi isn’t your person.

Shi is awesome! We are SO appreciative of all of her hard work! All of the signs were beautiful, not only matched to our vibe, but just gave the room an extra pop. We received so many compliments on the signs and how unique they were. And helped keep the day organized. I’m still so obsessed with the hexagon name plates everyone loved! So pretty!!! She was flexible & great to work with! Would recommend Shi for your events signage!

I knew by Shi's modern, timeless design work that I had to meet her. When I met her I knew she understood the vision and she added so many details I could never have dreamed up on my own. All my guests were talking about how fun my ceremony pamphlets were to read - they said they told a story and the infographics made it so easy to read. My seating chart, menus & escort cards were the start of the show for making my wedding feel personalized - with function & beauty! Shi was my favorite vendor to work with along the wedding planning process. She cared and has style. The best I could ask for!

Shi did an amazing job specializing our details from our invitations to our wedding signage! Super easy to work with and she is so nice! We used gold mirrors for our seating chart, welcome sign, hot chocolate bar and memory table and Shi used white calligraphy lettering on the mirrors. All turned out beautiful and we received so many compliments on them. Would highly recommend Lettered by Shi if you want a personal touch and beauty added to your day!
