Last week I mentioned that I am planning two parties, including a bridal shower for one of my best friends. This has turned into a fairly difficult event to plan, but luckily, I chose to go to The Write Impression, located on the Downtown Square at 120 South Maple Street. Not only are my invitations perfect, but the ladies who work there made my job so much easier.

Susan Grear has helped me keep my sanity over the planning of this shower. I went into the store knowing one thing; I had to send out some invites and soon. She sat down with me to get an idea of what type of shower I wanted to have, how I wanted to word the invitations and what would best suit my party guests’ needs. So this week’s piece is technically my invitation, but the service I received really made this stationary boutique stand out.

At The Write Impression, clients can choose to have invitations printed in store in a hurry or ordered, both options have a wide selection of styles to choose from. I chose to have them printed in store, and the quality turned out perfectly. Susan was more than happy to send me multiple proofs before I gave her the confirmation to print. She tried different fonts, colors and styles, and she always offered great ideas.

More than anything, The Write Impression made my job easy. I told them what to say, and they said it beautifully. The staff does an amazing job of combining proper etiquette with modern style to create the perfect stationary without being too stuffy. The boutique also has a great selection of unique gifts including monogrammed money clips and glasses, jewelry, candles and tote bags.
