Smitten Boutique

rograms, dinner menus, and place setting signage. She was creative, patient, professional, and accessible to me and to the groom's parents. I can't say enough about the customer service provided and the quality product produced! Thank you Erin and Smitten

ny programs for our Charleston, SC wedding in February of 2019. All were beautiful and all followed the same theme. Selecting Smitten: After having some trouble sifting through various Minted options for our wedding invitation designs, I decided it would be easier to meet with a local boutique in Chicago to help us design our invitations for our destination wedding in Charleston, SC. Erin responded to our interest via their website within a day and had scheduled some time for my fiancé and I to review options and pricing. After meeting with Erin, we decided that working with Smitten was a must and would make the whole process a lot easier for us in the long run. An Easy Invitation Planning Process: During our first meeting with Erin, she spent nearly and hour and a half reviewing various invitation types. She allowed us to look through templates at our own pace and once we had decided on a format we liked, she walked us through each and every step of the way, from paper thickness, to invitation wording, to ideas for what to include in our suite. Once we had selected a rough draft of what we wanted, she mocked up an easy-to-follow pricing template so we could see where we might be able to cut some costs. This allowed us to make the decisions for what was most important to us for our invitation suite on our own time, without any pressure. Once we decided on a final pricing package with options we selected, Erin mocked up several proofs for us, and was very clear about turnaround times we could expect given our invitation details. We went through two proofs and just like that, we were ready to send them to print! Turnaround time was fairly quick, and we received the printed invitations before we expected them. We were able to get them out about 10 weeks prior to our wedding. Upon pickup of the invitations, Erin gave us a cheat-sheet that had tips for how to pack the invitations and how to mail them. Adding Last-Minute Requests: What really sold us on Erin and Smitten was her willingness to help us less than a month out from our wedding in designing our menus and ceremony programs. I had planned on using Minted for this to cut costs, but as the wedding got closer I found that I was fiddling with formatting and spending WAY more time that I had trying to design a beautiful menu/program. Erin to the rescue! She designed menus/programs within 2 days that were consistent with our invitation style. They were beautiful and very affordable, especially given the tight turnaround time we gave her. Summary: Again, we were so happy with the service and professionalism shown to us by Erin at Smitten Boutique. While there are many options online such as Minted and Shutterfly that may offer more cost-sensitive options, I found that the stress-free planning and advice that Erin provided was well worth the price. We are so pleased with how everything turned out and would recommend Erin to anyone looking for beautiful, stress-free invitations and paper products for their wedding or event.

e major help of her professional insight! She was wonderful to work with from the start, and she made us feel extremely comfortable and calm. Erin went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we wanted and needed to make all the details perfect. She was beyond patient with the numerous back and forth's of options and styles we wanted to see, and she was genuinely happy to do this for us. I highly recommend Smitten Boutique and their services. They have endless options and a hardworking, dedicated team. We could not have been more thrilled with the planning process and how everything turned out more beautiful than we could have imagined. THANK YOU!!
