Dolldine Designs

We worked with Geraldine from Dolldine Designs for our wedding stationary. She was great to work with and all the stationary turned out great! Specifically, our invitations turned out beautifully, and we received so many compliments for them. She was so easy to work with, listening to all our requests and incorporating them into her designs. Her prices are more affordable for the same products compared to other similar vendors. Overall, for wedding stationary, we highly recommend Geraldine from Dolldine Designs.

For any brides out there looking for the perfect invitations and other paperie, this is the best place! Even if you’re not a bride… in case you want regular invitations for any party, you won’t be disappointed. Geraldine worked with us to come up with the theme/​design we love for our wedding. My fiancé wanted earth tones (dull and boring for me) and I wanted the jewel tones (vibrant). You get the drift. She worked with us in incorporating what we both want and came up with a beautiful design! We did our homework too, consulted with an in store high end place and Dolldine beats their price! Not only are you getting custom designed stationary, she hand assembles each item. Talk about labor of love! Everything is pretty. From our Save the Dates, Invitations, inserts to our reception requirements. Oh we can’t stop gushing! Not only is she very easy to work with and patient, she’s got the creative mind for this job! I promise, you won’t be disappointed. You are getting more bang for your buck and you will be very happy with the outcome, just like us!
A side note too, way before my wedding. I had to order gift tags for my friend’s wedding. I thought of just going to Party City since am ordering simple tags. Turns out only 1 location of Party City handles stationery and too far from me. I contacted Geraldine and in less than a week she had the design ready for me and shipped it directly to my friend in VA. The cost was not bad too. I probably wound have paid more at Party City and not considering all the hassle I would have gone thru. Talk about service!
Love love love working with Geraldine. Can you tell? :-)
Looking forward to ordering our Thank you notes and Wedding Announcement paperie too!

Geraldine was amazing to work with, when we first called her she set an appointment immediately. When we met, she had everything laid out in front of us, from her personal lookbooks, an example board, font colors, color swatches, different kinds of paper, basically everything thing you want or need for invitations. The actual appointment took about an hour, but in that time we had chosen colors, papers, envelopes, the layout, basically everything we needed in the invitation but the text (take note that we had no idea what we were doing, not even the color scheme for the wedding, the only thing done was the venue).
Over the course of a week we had the basic text done, a contract signed, and the text fonts laid out. The actual editing of the invitation text took about 2 – 3 weeks (not Geraldine’s fault) and was extremely difficult because my sister kept changing her mind as to how she wanted the directions punctuated (Capital letters on the turns, period placement, etc.) and my parents kept changing the wording on the Vietnamese text. I felt extremely bad for Geraldine because we were basically the family from hell with 5 people emailing her for proper corrections which should have been done in a day but took us weeks because my family is indecisive. But anyways, even though we emailed her about 300 times, she was still very professional and very graceful when working with us. She never even hinted a sign of frustration, and she was very prompt in answering our emails (despite how many were sent at a time).
Overall I highly recommend Geraldine because she is affordable, she does quality work, she’s professional, and all the invitations come in cute boxes with pink tissue (which added extra excitement because my sister looked like a kid on christmas opening her wedding invitations).

This is an invitation design and production company in San Diego.
I know one of the people who work for Dolldine. I am planning my wedding and I thought I would just print everything at home alone. The week before I was going to send my invites, my laptop died. Caput. Dead. I freaked out! How can I print my invites without my computer?
I contacted Nate and he was able to help me with printing. I had all the rest of stuff done, and I just needed printing. He was able to help me with the process. Very thorough– he made sure I saw proofs and approved everything before printing. When something wasn’t just quite right, he’d fix it, and he’s work with me to make it happen.
I had such a huge relief when I got the printed vellum for my invites. Just so you know, When I put the vellum onto the paper with ribbon, it took me and 3 friends a total of 4 hours to make 250 invitations. This is serious time consuming work. That did not include that fact that I already addressed and stamped the envelopes and put the response card in each envelope ahead of time. Very time consuming.
Nate will work with you on prices. You can get a consultation in person in San Diego, or he can do things with you on the phone or online.
I am having him print menu cards and I can’t wait to see how they turn out. There is enough stress with wedding planning, and he pulled through to help me in a crisis moment.
