I don't want you to have the same type of in-store, impersonal experience that I did!

In the early 80's, I had a HUGE formal wedding, complete with a string quartet and over 250 invited guests. In many ways, it was truly an event to remember.  Unfortunately, shopping for invitations to this grand event was NOT!  I was one of several people in the store stationery shopping.  I sat at a desk and the salesperson placed a large number of invitation books in front of me and told

Don't Worry,
I've Got You!

I DON'T want you to have that experience.  Choosing your stationery should be as joyful as choosing a wedding gown. With me, you'll have scheduled 1 on 1 time in my private office where I'll take a collaborative and consultative approach to help you find your stationery dreams!

It was obvious that I was just another transaction. There was no attempt made to build any type of trust and rapport with me, they just wanted my money.

It was so mundane!...

wanted my guests to have when they opened the envelope. I was NOT prepared for such an impersonal experience!
