Look no further than whimsy for all of your wedding paper goods!! Amy & Janet are masters at what they do and created the most perfect wedding invitation suite, place cards, menus ...
& wedding ceremony programs for us. I wasn’t familiar with wedding invitation etiquette, inserts, etc and both of them were very knowledgeable and helped walk us through the whole process. They had a beautiful selection of paper and styles to select from so we could create our timeless and elegant wedding invites. We also live in PA but got married in DE and they were great with allowing a mix of in person and e-mail communications throughout the process to make sure we were happy with the final product. Not to mention our invites were reasonable and tax free! We had so many people comment on our invites and other paper goods and how they all complemented each other so perfectly. Will definitely be using for other events in the future and definitely recommend if you’re looking for personable and professional service with an excellent product at a good rate. Thanks again!!

n my first meeting with Janet at Whimsy, she was very informative and kind! She helped you look through so many books and endless options of possibilities to create your perfect invitation! I told her my vision and she helped make that dream a reality by customizing an invitation that looked beautiful but didn't break the bank either! She was very helpful when I felt overwhelmed with so many choices and helped with the wording of the invitations as well. She was always looking out for our budget and worked with us to create the look we wanted for a respectable price. I felt it was so much easier going to speak with someone one-on-one about creating the invitations because there is a lot involved with them and speaking with someone in person helped to ease the process whereas doing it online may not provide you with the same assistance. Upon ordering the invitations, they were quick to respond with the proofs to approve before ordering! I received a phone call that the invites came in within weeks and were absolutely beautiful! I received so many compliments on them! I couldn't be happier with the way they turned out and with the amazing service I received at Whimsy!

She truly lets the customer lead the way. The turn-around time was great and Whimsy was extremely accommodating and always willing to talk on the phone or meet. As I said, I am beyond happy with my invitations! I would highly, highly recommend working with Whimsy to ANYONE! I have gotten absolutely RAVE reviews on my invitations. I cannot express how happy I am and how wonderful my experience was at Whimsy! Go here for wedding invites!!! (and everything else!!)

go to Whimsy. They have a huge selection of invitations at plenty of different price points. They were incredibly patient walking us through the invitation wording and gave very thoughtful opinions when we asked for it. I took off one star because the process of editing the proofs was unorganized and it felt like we were passed from person to person. Overall I was very pleased with how the invitations turned out and would definitely recommend Whimsy.

Whimsy Greenville was amazing for my wedding. I was so annoyed with trying to customize invitations from some of the popular online retailers, so I googled "wedding invitation in D...
elaware" and found whimsy's information. Janet was my main point of contact and worked with me over the phone, email, and in person, always around my work schedule. I told her what I was looking for and she showed me two great options right away, which I fell in love with. She talked me through pricing and customizing the colors and styles. When there was a little hiccup with the vendor she took care of it and I barely had a chance to worry. I would highly recommend them to anyone I know getting married.

I really liked that they had invitations with a wide range of prices and styles. It was so much better than shopping online! I made an appointment to order and came with my mom and the lady who walked us through it was so super sweet and helpful with wording options. And their gift shop portion of the store is so cute too!
