Bellia Print & Design

A few months ago I came here to get wedding invitations done. I had waited till the last minute and figured they could get it done a lot faster. After going through the catalogue I selected the cards and the woman there went though the process of filling out the paperwork. I repeatedly stressed that I needed to get them done as soon as possible, to which she said, that wouldn’t be a problem.
When that was all finished I mentioned that I would like them to print the place cards as well (because of the same time constraint). For some reason, every time I asked if they could print out the place cards there, she said they could, but kept reminding me that i could fill them out myself as well if I wanted to. I said it would take too long and by the time the RSVP was due I only had two weeks until the wedding. I wouldn’t have had time. Yet again she repeated it. It definantly gave me a bad feeling, so I let it go.
I had also said that I wanted them to print the addresses on the envelopes. To which the woman told me I would have to deal with their printing person. I emailed her my request, with an excel list of names and addresses, and waited for a response. I sent a second email and she gave me an excel template, but told me she was going on a week-​long vacation. I was pissed! I wish I had been told she was going on vacation, then I would have called her after I sent the email to make sure she received it. I quickly rewrote the whole list of names and addresses in a formal style (tedious) and sent it back.
I panicked the whole time that is would’t get done, but with a forceful call from my mother, it got done. It wasn’t until I got the invitations back that I got pissed off all over again. Every single envelope was covered with small dots and the address ink was grainy. What could I do? I didn’t have the time to have them printed out all over again. I sent them out as is.
They blamed the bad printing on the envelopes, but why would you use them in the first place. I was so disgusted by the whole thing that I ended up doing the place cards and programs myself. It was a lot of work, thankfully my sister-​in-​law helped me a lot, but I was very happy with how they turned out when I did the work myself.
Bottom line: i wouldn’t advise using Bellia’s for any of your printing needs. Buyer beware!
