We planned our wedding in three months, and Dandelion Patch was great to work with to ensure we got our invitations selected & out in time for the event. The staff was amazing to work with, providing guidance on selection of invitations and timelines. Even though we were late to meet dates Dandelion bent over backwards to produce everything on time. The invitation selection was amazing - everything to meet your personal style. Excellent staff and selection.

This review is for the Georgetown location. I ordered all of my invitations, menu cards, thank you cards, and calligraphy from the Dandelion Patch. I worked primarily with Jonathan, Allison, and Penelope, all of whom were absolutely fantastic. I found the invitation ordering process to be a bit overwhelming, and the Dandelion Patch group guided me through the whole process, including a variety of etiquette questions. They were very patients with me, particularly given my last minute additions to the calligraphy list. All of my invitations, cards, and calligraphy were beautiful, and I would use Dandelion Patch again for any invitation or announcement printing.

The Dandelion Patch is Phenomenal. I got all of my printed materials for my wedding from the Dandelion Patch, this included: save the dates, house warming invitations, engagement party invitations, bridal shower invitations, wedding invitations, wedding thank you notes, bridal shower thank you notes, bridal shower menus, wedding menus, wedding place cards, wedding escort cards, wedding ceremony programs, wedding reception programs. All of the staff at the Vienna location were excellent. They made sure that all of my wedding materials met our expectations. I will be using the Dandelion Patch for all future life events and recommend them to anyone who needs printed materials for any special occasion.

I used the Dandelion Patch in Vienna for all of my paper products (Save the Dates, invitations, thank you notes, menu cards, table seating cards, programs and monogrammed napkins). I can not say enough about how wonderful they made each step of the process. Although I worked primarily with Lindsay each person that I dealt with was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I had a general idea of what I wanted for each item and they took the few words that I used and helped me find perfect matches. The finished products were all stunning (particularly the invitations, programs and menu cards). They kept my name on file and called me when it was time to make the next appointment to pick out the next set of items. That was invaluable since it was one less thing I had to remember to call about! I will definitely use them again for any paper needs I have!

I used Dandelion Patch for my invitations, programs, and menu cards. They had a HUGE selection and their staff is very helpful, friendly, and responsive. I was a little overwhelmed during the beginning of the invitation selection process because there were so many options and so many books to look through, I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted, and I was thinking, "This seems like a huge decision, yet it's a piece of paper that everybody is going to throw away in the end." The staff was really great in calming my feelings of being overwhelmed and quickly helped me to narrow things down and figure out what look I was going for. They have a great variety and selection of unique vendors to choose from, and lots of different options and styles to fit exactly the look you are going for. (Variety of colors, fonts, papers, designs, layouts, etc.) Once I selected my invitations, I was able to go back and forth several times in terms of perfecting the layout, content, and design - They provided really great proofs via email. I ultimately ended up loving my invitations and was so glad I used Dandelion Patch.

We went to the Dandelion Patch in Leesburg, VA. We worked with Samantha and she was great. All of the invitations were great. We were very happy with the ones we choose. We were able to do a lot of communication via email, which was great. I was able to proof the invitations when I was out of town. Our invitations turned out great, the service was wonderful, and I would highly recommend them.

I went to the Dandelion Patch in Vienna, VA. My fiancé and I were living in New York planning our wedding in Washington, D.C. I was in town one weekend and popped in to see what The Dandelion Patch had to offer. I initially worked with Brooke who was great! She was very helpful and very patient while I poured through all the invitation books until I found a style I really loved. In fact, it was a pleasure to work with the entire staff. They were always readily available via email and phone so we were able to address all my questions and proof our invitations without any delay in our printing process. Our invitations turned out beautifully! We even used Dandelion Patch to print the addresses onto the envelopes. This was well worth the cost! We got a lot of compliments from guests about how lovely our invitations were. One of our guests even gave us a framed copy of the invitation for us to keep. Wonderful staff, wonderful service and wonderful selection. I highly recommend them!

After seeing the Dandelion Patch at various bridal shows and having my husband pick out the same design they displayed at each event, we decided that they were definitely the choice for us. It was really easy to set up an appointment with them and they offered help with the entire process of finalizing our invitations. They provided us with wonderful and efficient service as well as a great price for a high-quality product. We heard lots of good things about our invitations, so we knew we made the right choice!

The Dandelion Patch is ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! We used them for save the dates, invitations, programs, name tags, separate invitations and even escort cards! They were amazing and we couldn't have asked for better service. Everything was delivered in a timely manner and the calligraphers they use are so talented.If you want personal, friendly and enthusiastic customer service, this is the vendor for you!

I was recently married and I used the Dandelion Patch in Vienna, VA for my Save the Dates, Wedding Invitations, Escort Cards, and Table Numbers. The staff at the Dandelion Patch was fantastic and were great in helping us to design our invitations. Everything was timely and really felt as though they were focused on us and our event. I would highly recommend The Dandelion Patch for other couples! Or anyone needing fabulous invitations for any event.

We used the Dandelion Patch in Reston, VA for our invitations, dinner menus and placecards. We loved the products and the flexibilty and customer service provided by Samantha at the Reston store. The invitations and all the other wedding products we ordered were perfect!! The quality was great and pricing was reasonable. My husband and I would highly recommend the Reston store.

We arrived at the Dandelion Patch in Reston Town Center in a little bit of a panic with regard to our wedding stationery. However, working with Cory put us right at ease. She never tired showing my family and I TONS of examples, and let us think over several options, come back and make minor adjustments to help me make sure the stationery "fit" my overall vision for the wedding. Cory is an absolute EXPERT about everything wedding, and she offered lots of practical thoughts and advice that really helped my mom and I figure out what we wanted. She even put up with my crazy dad with a smile on her face! ;) Cory, and the staff at the Reston Dandelion Patch, are so kind and professional. The prices might be a bit high, but when you are planning a wedding, the old adage is true...you get what you pay for. And we feel totally happy with everything we did with the Dandelion Patch. And Cory, thank you soooo much...you were truly a God-send to me and a guiding light throughout the planning process.

The Dandelion Patch really helped ease my frustration, confusion, and overall fear of wedding invitations. This was the one detail about my wedding that made my stomach turn. So many choices, colors, ribbons, etc etc. The staff at The Dandelion Patch were extremely professional, patient, and so very helpful with me and my invitation search. They communicated excellently with me and my husband and were proficient! The Dandelion Patch made the invitation experience less scarey and our invitations were perfect for our event! We will use them in the future for other events and announcements!

These folks were (are) amazing! I had a very specific look in mind and Caitie made it happen! They designed our invitations from scratch with us on a Sunday for about 2 hours and made my fiance actually care about letterpress! Seriously, he scared me with that one, LOL. I still love to just look at them because they were so beautifully done. In fact we having it framed along with our Jumping Broom. I can't wait to go back for the next occasion!

We worked with the Dandelion Patch in Vienna for our wedding invitations. We were immediately impressed by the knowledge of the staff. At our scheduled appointment, we worked one-on-one with Penelope. She was very professional and helpful, listening to our thoughts and finding the right invitations choices for us. The best part of ordering from Dandelion Patch is that we were able to take care of the wording and proofing via email. We live just north of Philadelphia, but the wedding was in Alexandria. It was very helpful to not have to travel down to NOVA every time something related to the invitations had to be done.Our invitations turned out GORGEOUS! We even used Dandelion Patch to print the addresses onto the envelopes. This is well worth the cost! We got a lot of compliments from guests about how lovely our invitations were. One of our guests even gave us a framed copy of the invitation for us to keep :)

The Dandelion Patch has the best selection of elegant invitations in the D.C. area. I am so pleased with how ours turned out. What I love most about their store is that they have such a great selection of gifts, as well. My husband and I had no trouble finding a design that we both loved and we got so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the invitations were.

I purchased my invitations from the store in Reston and I could not be happier with the results. I walked in having absolutely NO idea what I wanted and a very helpful woman named Erica saved me. Throughout the ENTIRE process she was so helpful and friendly. Our invitations were gorgeous. I had a coworker make fun of me for spending so much effort on invitations, but when he received his he said 'wow, those are seriously beautiful'. The people at Dandelion Patch are true professionals and you will not be unhappy with what you buy there. I wish I could give 6 stars!
