At no point through the ordering process was it made clear that we had to assemble these ourselves. The quality is great, but definitely not a good fit for anyone with a busy schedule who didn't account for needing to assemble everything. Also, it was split up in multiple packages, and we haven't received one of them yet.
Super professional, gorgeous very classy invitations.
Stunning wedding invitation suite and church programs from Jolene Backus & Shine!
I am so grateful to Jolene Backus for all the time she devoted to the design of my invitation suite and church programs! I don’t know what I would have done without her expert advice and patience throughout the process. I had no idea where to begin and she helped me every step of the way, responding completely and in a timely manner to my many, many questions and providing unparalleled customer service that continued after the order was placed and received. I really trusted her advice and appreciated all her great design ideas! Jolene is a gifted designer— creative with meticulous attention to detail. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Jolene and I was thrilled with the final products!
Shine invitation suites and programs are second to none—their quality is amazing and everything arrived earlier than expected. I have received countless compliments on my gorgeous invitation suite and programs. We chose a letterpress invitation with a vellum jacket, wax seal, belly band, multiple enclosure cards, and double envelopes with a liner. For the program, we chose the deluxe booklet.
I highly recommend Jolene Backus and Shine for beautiful invitations and wedding day stationery! You will not be disappointed!
Shine was fantastic. Our designer, Courtney, could not have been more helpful. She was always quickly responsive and very professional, and even ensured that we got our order after I messed up the address. The invitations were beautiful, high quality, very classy. The directions on how to put the invitations together were clear and easy to follow. All in all a wonderful company - I would use them again in a heartbeat.
Shine was so easy to work with and we loved the final product of our wedding invitation suite! They are very professional and the communication was very reliable. The proofs were available so quickly and any changes were done very promptly. Beautiful invitations! Highly recommend!
Our invitation suite from Shine came out just beautifully! We had a difficult time finding invitations that were classic and timeless until we found Shine! Our client designer Kaleigh was so great to work with and ensured that our invitation details and design were personalized according to our vision. We received so many compliments on our invitation suite from our guests. The beautiful invitation layouts and designs as well as their superior customer service are unmatched! I highly recommend Shine.
We were absolutely blown away by the beauty and quality of these invitations! I could not recommend Shine enough. Their personal design assistant is so helpful and made me super comfortable with the ordering process. We received so so many compliments on our wedding stationary and are so happy we went with Shine! LOVE this company! Thank you, Shine!
I was so attracted to the option of designing a beautiful wedding invitation suite online and hoped that the quality would be on par with in-person stores. I chose the Emma Vellum Wedding Invitations with floral envelope liners and wax seals. I was absolutely blown away by how elegant and classic these invitations turned out! The price is extremely fair and the process of designing the invitations virtually with one of the members of the Shine team was extremely easy. We even ended up reaching back out to our designer at Shine to have her create matching menus and inserts to put into our guests’ hotel welcome bags. I would 100% make the decision to have Shine do our wedding stationery over and over again!
lthough they are not “budget friendly”, Mu invitations got so many compliments and I couldn’t be happier. Once I ordered, I had a personal “editor” if you will. She helped with any changes or questions I had and made the perfect invitation. They also had guest addressing which was HUGE!! They arrived in the mail quickly and looked amazing. We also ordered place cards and table numbers through them. They also gave us some blank tented cards that we used to write little notes to our guests in their hotel baskets!
Amazing quality. A little expensive, but worth the price for how they look. Great support team to work with too, as they send you drafts of everything prior to printing it.
I ordered my invitations (I loved the ribbon and bow look), along with table numbers and matching menus through them. Beautiful job.
I ordered my gorgeous wedding suite through Shine. It was worth every penny. Communication was quick and efficient. I went back and forth with a design consultant to make sure that everything was perfect. I was so impressed by the service and attention to detail.
Shine did my wedding invitations. I was SHOCKED with the quality of the invitation from a mass produced website. The invitations were exactly what I wanted; minimal yet elegant. Every step of the way was easy. HIGHLY recommend if you want a more simplistic yet elegant invitation.
I was SO happy with my gorgeous wedding invitations from Shine. Their designs are beautifully traditional with a touch of modern design that I absolutely love. The elegant designs combined with Shine's high-quality paper and printing process really stands out against the invitations from other online sellers. Additionally, their communication with me was thorough and timely, and Kaleigh responded to all of my requests and questions super quickly. I can't recommend Shine enough!
I was very pleased with Shine Wedding Invitations! The customer service is amazing. They were so helpful in my initial inquiries, created several proofs when I was in between designs, and helped change the weight of the font after I selected a design to make sure it was just what I wanted! We used Shine Wedding for our invitations, welcome sign, and seating chart. The production and shipping timeframes were great and I was so happy with the final product. Thank you Shine!
Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. Shine made my wedding invitations back in 2017. They offer less expensive printing options, but I wanted a heavy paper stock and pressed lettering. I am a paper snob and these folks exceeded all expectations. From the design process through final delivery, I was consistently impressed by their level of customer service and willingness to work with my ever-changing mind. You’re able to tailor every part of your invitation design. My invitation suite turned out beautifully and everything was delivered within the agreed upon timeframe.
What made me fall in love with Shine was the fact that I inadvertently gave out all of my wedding invitations back in 2017. I needed to have a few more printed as keepsakes. The girls at Shine were amazing working with me to approve a specialized, small-scale print job to accommodate my request. I love this company! Go with them - you will not be disappointed.
I am giving 3 stars, because my invitations really were beautiful. However, multiple items were left out of my order, which caused multiple delays in getting my invitations sent out. First, I noticed that my inner envelopes were not included at all; this delayed me getting my envelopes to our calligrapher. Not a big deal, because mistakes happen. But, when assembling my invitations weeks later, I noticed that there were not enough envelope liners included in my order, which again delayed me sending out invitations on time. Their customer service is good and they sent everything that was missing in a timely manner, but it was really inconvenient and frustrating for this to have happened twice.
We worked with Sarah J. from Shine for our wedding invites and day of stationary. Everything came out exactly as we envisioned and was so beautiful! Shine does very classic, elegant, and timeless stationary! You can't go wrong with them!
Sarah had great recommendations and answered all of our questions throughout. Additionally, Shine was a huge help when COVID caused multiple changes for our day and we had to reprint.
I still cannot say enough good things about this company. Of course, doing anything online can be a bit sketchy these days, but I was able to talk to real people (Sarah was a gem and stuck with me through my entire ordering process) and ordered a sample first. Just from the sample I knew the company was going to be fantastic. I ordered my invitations (Ophelia print on matte white with ivy lettering) and even though the ribbon I had originally ordered was out of stock, they were totally accommodating and made sure to get me what I wanted (I ended up doing the vellum jackets and wax stamps with belly bands) and was actually even happier with that than I think I would have been with the ribbon. The presentation in the freshly opened box was beautiful and I got right to work putting them together with my bridal party. 12/10 recommend!!!
I was so impressed with our wedding invitations and other suite items. The card stock was superior; the printing (letterpress) was so classy and crisp; the accessories (envelope inserts, belly bands) were easy to assemble. The stationary components came incredibly well packaged and protected. The instructions that came were clear and concise. There were many colors and fonts to choose from. The variety was quite expansive. Shine also included with my invitation pieces a fully assembled wedding invitation proof for our photographer - I had no idea that was done but as soon as the photographer arrived he asked for it. Shine is on the ball! Shine's designers and the design process was easy and I can honestly say what Shine provided was better than what I would have gotten from an in person stationary vendor (whom I did interview before going to Shine). Everyone has remarked about how tasteful and classy our invitations were and I am all about first impressions and appearance when it comes to things like this. It is a reflection of you and your event. I can honestly say Shine will not disappoint.
We were so thrilled with how our wedding invitations came out! We worked with Jolene who was so patient as we worked together to create the perfect invitations. We loved our invitations so much that we ended up having her design all of our wedding day stationery! We got a ton of compliments. I highly recommend Shine!!!!!
From start to finish, Shine was AMAZING! I spent close to a month looking at Minted, Zola, and other invitation sites, and couldn't find anything that matched *exactly* what I was looking for. Shine lets you customize everything, including the wording on the invited, inserts, etc. Their website covers all the bases, even things I hadn't thought about. They were professional in their correspondence, and truly made me feel like I was their only client. The invites arrived today, and I feel like a kid on Christmas I'm so excited about how they turned out! It was great having such a customizable experience, and I would recommend Shine to any bride!
Working with Shine was the easiest part of the wedding process and I throughly enjoyed it! Courtney was easy to work with and so accommodating. The invitations came out perfect and so beautiful! I have recommended Shine to so many of my friends!
As all of the weddinginvitation companies are quick to point out when trying to sell you their product ... Your wedding invitation is the first glance that introduces your guests, to your wedding and it's vibe. In searching for a specifically elegant design my daughter e found SHINE to be (what we thought) the perfect option. She ordered a simple, elegant and VERY plain invitation suite and, as was the intention all along, added a hint color and pizazz via a blush colored 'belly band'. When it was time to assemble the invitations and ready them for mailing, we found that the belly bands DO.NOT.WORK. The reason we ordered them was two-fold ... one, to band the invitation, the response card/envelope and the information card together, and then, very importantly, to add the pop of color to the suite that coincides with their wedding colors. The belly bands are impossibly hard to fold around the suite and affix to either end that will create a band tight enough to indeed band it all together. Once wrapped and affixed with the glue dots that come with the suite ( we also tried double sided tape because the glue dots provided have to be tediously peeled from a clear cellophane backing) all of the cards fall right out of the band, making stuffing the suite as one unit into the envelope, frustratingly difficult and darn near impossible. THEN, experimenting with removing the belly banded invitation suite from the envelope we found it to go exactly the same way ... it all falls out, most of the time leaving the belly band down inside the envelope ... probably never to be seen by the invited guests ... thus negating our 'pop of color' plan completely. While the customer service rep that I chatted with online from SHINE was very professional, understanding and patient, the options she offered to solve the problem did not solve it in it's entirety. She offered vellum jackets instead of the bands, which might probably have held the suite together better, getting it all into and out of the envelope, but they were clear ... so, there went our pop of color again, leaving a rather bland invitation wrapped in a clear jacket. Plus we weren't certain that this option wouldn't weigh more and hence cause an issue with our vintage stamps that had been painstakingly selected in conjunction with the rates the USPS had given us when we initially took it all to be weighed. Needless to say, in the grand scheme of life ... not the end of the world, I realize that, but as a first time bride, my daughter who has attended to every little detail of the wedding for so long now, and is having to be very cost conscious in the wedding budget, is so very disappointed especially that we had to pay a lot of money for something and not get exactly what you thought you she was going to get. Bottom line ... would not recommend SHINE for your wedding invitation needs ... there are just too many other companies out there to choose from.
I was really happy with my products at Shine. I used Shine for my invitations and was very happy with the end product. The website is easy to use and the designers are very responsive through e-mail with any changes you want to make. The pricing was competitive to what I was seeing online and the quality is great.
Let me start off saying I write honest reviews on many platforms and I write them often. I am soooooo glad I chose SHINE for our wedding invitations!!! Where do I begin? Honestly, I was not interested in spending a lot on 60 invites. However, I didnt want any regrets. I wanted an invite to be timeless and classy and I got that!! I ordered the bells and whistles regardless of budget lol...vellum, wax seal, belly bands. It was alllll worth it. The responses and reaction I got from people opening up their invites and being wow'd was totally worth it all. The invitations are like a work of art. Most people throw them away, well, most my guests said they are keepsaking theirs. Our wedding is a domestic, destination wedding and one person said just off seeing the invite she is booking her ticket and coming to the wedding. NICOLE at SHINE was an absolute pleasure to work with!! Omg!!!
She was so helpful, accommodating, PATIENT, professional, kind, understanding, I mean I could go on and on! Get NICOLE, if you order from SHINE lol! Her proofs were the EXACT match of the actual invite. There were no secrets. I am just so pleased I could cry. I'm also sad the whole experience, working with NICOLE and SHINE, has ended. I was more anxious about the invites than picking a dress but NICOLE made all things right. NICOLE, thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting a stamp on this unforgettable time of my life.
I loved every piece I ordered from them. It was a bit pricey, but it was worth it because they were beautiful and Shine made it very easy to order what I wanted. The proofs and edits came back quickly every time. I would definitely use them again!
We are so grateful for the exceptional service that we received from Shine Wedding Invitations. Our designer, Sarah, was knowledgeable and responsive, working with us from Save the Dates to table numbers, and all beautiful paper goods in between. Our “Romantic Calligraphy” sets matched perfectly with our vision for our wedding day and served as a launching point for the beautiful ceremony and reception that they previewed. Thank you Sarah and thank you Shine!
I loved all the products we ordered from Shine, which included our invitation suite and place cards. The designers were great to work with over email, and very responsive to edits. Everything arrived promptly once the orders were approved to go to production.
So many guests commented on how beautiful the invitation was. The wax seal got tons of positive comments, and I loved how the velum jacket and belly bands created a formal look without a second envelope. Overall, it set the perfect tone for the event and I am so glad I took the "risk" on a seller I found via Instagram ad.
Offered soo many services! I seriously would of died had I had to write out all of the addresses. Made writing the thank you cards a breeze as well.
So many beautiful options! The Romantic Calligraphy set was a dream and working with Jolene made my life a breeze. Pricing is competitive and the products delivered were fabulous.
When sifting through countless wedding invitation sites, Shine really stuck out for it's classy but modern style and elegance. In a world full of foil, photo invitations and bold colors, we really wanted an invitation and paper goods suite that would stand the test of time. For us, Shine was that vendor. The ordering process was super easy and the proofing was even better! Not to mention any time I would send a DM on Instagram about a color or invitation suite, I'd get a reply! Nicole was our designer and she was so helpful. I loved the fact that proofing was done via email, and even though I was located on the west coast, sometimes I could get multiple edits done in a morning. Whereas other sites only allow you to make changes once a day. It just felt so personalized, like I was getting everything done through a boutique vendor even though it was all done online. I cannot recommend Shine enough. Thank you so much for putting the perfect touch on our perfect day!
Shine made the invitation process extremely easy and stress free. They have a ton of templates to choose from that will cater to your personal style and you can even personalize their templates if need be. I worked with Nicole, who was great and always got back to me when I needed her. Shine will assign you a person who is in charge of helping you design your invitations (or other wedding day materials you may need) and they really take charge of the process so you can just sit back and approve of the templates. They ship and arrive very quickly which makes it even more stress free. Shine is the best way to go and I would recommend to anyone!
I ordered the “Nicole” ribbon collection for my wedding invitations and I have to say the quality of the paper is amazing! These specific invitations were perfect for my wedding I couldn’t have asked for anything for beautiful & so my style. The only bad thing about this is for the money I paid I shouldn’t have had to cut the ribbon and make the bows myself. It took me 9 hours to get 150 invitations together and ready to send out. They are absolutely beautiful but I definitely think they need to figure out a way to have the bow already around the invitation and the buyer just stamp the envelopes and slip whatever enclosures they need between the invite and the bow.
I kept seeing Shine Wedding invitation advertisements on Instagram and finally looked into using them for my wedding and am so glad that I did! They were so easy to work with and their process ensured that you had to approve every proof every step of the way. The invitations were high quality and I absolutely loved the wax seal and velum wrap. Only thing I wish we knew is that the inner and outer envelopes were not in order whatsoever so putting together all of the invitations was extremely time consuming. It wouldn’t change our decision to use them but something good to know for planning/timing purposes!
These absolutely blew our expectations out of the water. We ordered invitations, programs, table numbers, and thank you cards ("Ophelia" style) and were thrilled with how elegant and high-quality they were. We didn't opt for letterpress, and still thought they looked more expensive than what we paid :) We got so many compliments, too, and the customer service was PHENOMENAL. Highly recommend!
THE most elegant invitations I have ever seen. We received so many compliments about how stunning they were. Our consultant helped us immensely throughout the proofing processing until they were perfect.
Amazing service, beautiful products, & such an amazing reminder of our big day we can keep forever. Thank you, Shine!!!!!
The invitations were beautiful. They were true to the mock-up sent to us. Our designer was very helpful in designing our invitations and capturing our vision.
Shine Invitations and the design team created a beautiful, timeless invitation suite for my husband and I that portrayed our wedding theme. Through the rounds of edits, they quickly incorporated the edits I provided and arrived with no bents or tears. The guests enjoyed the classic beauty of the invitations and how they accurately reflected the theme. I recommend Shine Invitations for any special event!
My invitations and entire paper suite came out gorgeous. Great quality and beautiful and classic, but not common, design. Ordering with them was easy and affordable as well.
I found Shine on Pinterest. Their designs are elegant and modern, which was exactly what my husband and I wanted. As far as price they are pretty on par for wedding invitations. I would just suggest thinking about what is most important, as you can make it as expensive as you design. For example I chose belly bands rather than a fancy pressed seal. Again, it is all what you choose. I would recommend them if you're looking for great quality, professionalism, and timeliness.
I was so happy with our invitations from Shine. Their communications team works quickly, and they sent us our proofs even faster than we expected. They were very responsive to any changes we wanted to make and had updated proofs in no time. Everyone commented on how lovely the invitations were, and the customer service made everything go smoothly. I would definitely recommend using Shine for your wedding invites!
I couldn’t be happier that I chose Shine for my wedding day paper goods. Everything I wanted: classy, simple, elegant. On top of the gorgeously designed finished product(s), their team is so wonderful to work with. I was paired with Jolene and the entire process was seamless. They were also able to rush order me additional place cards SUPER last minute for some of my last minute guests the same week of my wedding. In love with company thank you Shine!!!!!
So happy I stumbled on Shine for our wedding invitations! They were so easy to work with. Every person that reaches out to verify proofs was helpful and quick to respond. Even when my parents unexpectedly moved and we had to reorder response envelopes they made the process very effortless. The end product was beautiful! We got so many compliments on our invite suite and I could not be more pleased with Shine from start to finish.
They make the most beautiful wedding invitations as well as other paper goods and stationery for party.
Beautiful, timeless, simple invitations that are 100% customizable. LOVE LOVE LOVE
Easy, good quality.
Shine was SO easy to work with! Loved the design options, the responsiveness of customer service, fast production and shipping. Definitely recommend!
I used them for Invitations, Programs and Thank You cards.
These invitations came out beautiful for our wedding! We were very happy with them! The personalized stamps were great too!
Shine Wedding Invites are beautiful. The staff is super friendly and easy to work with. They made sure all the wording was proper etiquette and quickly got back to me with anything I had questions on. The invites were easy to assemble and came with high quality supplies to do so. I highly recommend if going for online ordering of invites!
Very responsive and they answered any questions I had prior to submitting my order. We were able to sample the invitations before ordering. The ordering process was very easy. Invitations were beautiful and easy to assemble. Overall very happy!
The BEST. Such beautiful invitations, reasonably priced, and the nicest people. I worked with Jolene and I even changed the design I wanted and she was excellent and very accommodating. DEFINITELY recommend.
We absolutely loved our wedding invitations from Shine! They were simple and pretty. I also loved all the little ways to customize them, like the belly bands and color/pattern choices. Jessica was very helpful and was quick to respond, answering any questions I had. The complimentary rounds of proofs were appreciated, especially for a perfectionist like me. We got many compliments on our invitations and would highly recommend them to other couples!
I can't say enough about the customer service and quality. From start to finish Shine was amazing to work with. I shopped around, compared prices, and ultimately Shine offered everything I wanted at a competitive if not better price than everyone else. I would recommend Shine to anyone doing invitations or anything wedding day related!
I really loved the wedding invitations I ordered from Shine. I wanted simple, elegant, and classy invitations and they had a lot to chose from that fit my taste. I'm very happy with how they came out.
I want to start by saying Shine has the best customer service. I had a issue with my Envelopes not sealing and they offered up and customer service immediately. Having said that a few things I would have wish to know before purchasing. You have to assemble EVERYTHING...Inserts, bell band, organize all your cards. Its extremely time consumeing so know this for timelines my invites went out late due to this. Lastly, While i loved how my invites looked. I sent myself a invitation to see what everyone else was getting. The liner in my envelope came out and my belly band was torn down the middle where I our names were. As. Beautiful as they assemble they do not hold up well in the mail and it makes them now appear cheap. I was disappointed when I opened and honestly embarrassed if my guest receive these in this way. I would recocomend shine as long as you know and fully understand what your getting.
My invitations were beautifully done and customer service was very responsive. Everything was completed on time, and they rushed a few missing belly bands to me as soon as I let them know they were missing. The online ordering system was very fast and easy, the samples made it easy to pick out what I wanted, and everything was managed very professionally. I personally loved the simplicity of the suite, but a few additional options with borders would be the only change that would make this company 5* for me.
Beautiful invitation suites, great customer service. We received a lot of compliments on our invitations.
So stunning. LOVED my wedding invitations!! Affordable and elegant!
The owner Autumn was amazing! I really appreciated her genuine interest and quick response to an invitation issue I was experiencing. My wedding invites were beautiful!
Our invitations were so beautiful, I ordered our table numbers from them as well! The staff were so professional and the invitations are of excellent quality.
