 Confessions of a Customer


Programs
The process of ordering wedding invitations can at times be a daunting task for any bride, let alone doing so from almost 3,000 miles away. 

 

This was the task that Mary Jo Gregory was facing with her daughter's wedding which was held in Seattle, Washington.  Mary Jo heard about The Dandelion Patch from her boss and long time patch shopper and thought it would be the perfect place to find Megan's invitations.

Megan and Mary Jo came into The Dandelion Patch while Megan was in town visiting and knew they had come to the right place.  "The experience was wonderful from the moment we walked in".  Megan had a specific color palette in mind and when nothing jumped out in the books, Lindsay was able to help her create custom pocket invitations designed and printed at the store. 

 

With such a positive response to the way the invitations turned out, Mary Jo knew she would be able to return without Megan for the remainder of the wedding stationery and would be in good hands.  "We never felt we went over the top and Lindsay always found something to go with our color palette".  In addition to the custom invitations, in-store Place Cards, Menus, Table Cards and Programs were designed to match.  "The Dandelion Patch's print manager was an extension of the arm-calling Megan long distance and committed to keeping our deadlines".  The staff was also able to find coordinating thank you notes, favor boxes and napkins to compliment the in-house pieces.

 

What at the beginning might have seemed to be a complicated arrangement turned out to be one of the easiest parts of the wedding planning. "I would tell everyone in the world to go to The Dandelion Patch - you need to make decisions where you are comfortable and this is a comfortable place to be".
