Lion in the Sun offered us great expertise and variety of choices for our invitations. The staff is very pleasant, efficient and does a great job of checking in with you after you've placed an order. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for stationary for a special occassion.

I can't say more positive things about the folks at Lion in the Sun--not only are they completely professional with outstanding customer service, they are friendly and extremely knowledgeable about their products. I was planning a September wedding, met with Melinda and felt that she instantly "got" what it was I was envisioning for my invitations. Melinda put my mind at ease from the very beginning, taking the time to explain the different cost options, the differences for print options--any and all questions were answered (they are very patient!), I never once felt intimated or judged....it was clear they were there to provide what I wanted...and perhaps more importantly, put my mind at ease thoughout the entire process. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but with Lion in the Sun doing my invites, I felt 100% confident that I was in good hands and could relax a bit. In fact, I ended up ordering too few invites (my husband invited 36 additions last minute)--this could have been a total disaster, but Melinda and her team were absolutely wonderful, willing to go to great lengths to ensure I would have additional invites without having to order another 100. They never seemed irritated and were very creative in finding a solution that would work. Melinda became a friend in the process, I swear I would NOT have gotten through wedding planning without her and her team. I would recommend to anyone looking for beautiful, quality invitiations and superb customer service to go to Lion in the Sun!! Also, their calligraphers are AMAZING....So many of my guests not only commented on how unique and beautiful my invites were, but also the calligraphy (they can pretty much recreate any font you'd like).

Pros: customer service, quality of product, friendly atmosphere

Cons: none
