I have to admit I was a little nervous doing this online but after talking with you on the phone, I felt reassured with your knowledge, interest, and concern for getting it done "perfect". My daughter and I will pass your name on in the "Lone Star State". Thanks, again...we appreciate you!!!

I had a client who had a friend make her invitations as a gift/favor. The lines were all wrong, the alignment was wrong - in the end, she sent the invitation to that person but came to me to have professionally set-up invitations to send to everybody else.
I felt so bad for her but relieved that she didn't send out the original invitations -
