They are so great!!! Every meeting with them was enjoyable. Their creativity and appreciation for uniqueness is evident in every thing they do. I went in with a watery idea of what I wanted and they solidified it and turned it into something wonderful. I loved their special touch!

---------------------

My mom, FMIL, and I went to La Di Da to see samples of invitations she made for us today. We found one that was perfect! Bonnie was able to take my ideas and make the perfect invitation. She was so easy to work with, and best of all, she worked with our budget completely. The other great part is that the invitation we picked out is a 4X9, and it is light enough, even with all the extra papers, that we only need a $.39 cent stamp on the invites. I would highly recommend going to see Bonnie for invitations!

---------------------

I used Bonnie for my STD cards, and am using her for my invitations and programs. They turned out awesome! ~sara~

---------------------

I would reccomend Bonnie and La Di Da a hundred times over. A million times over! You get the point. She is amazing, she does amazing work, and you won't find a nicer person that is just as excited about your big day. I think once you do business with her, she definately becomes a friend, not to mention going into her shop is dangerous...i want to buy everything:)

---------------------

would recommend La Di Da and Bonnie without second thought. Bonnie can be a little hairy and talkative when ou call her on the phone, but she is super nice and does excellent work. With out a doubt a fabulous person and place to work with.

---------------------

We used her for our invitatinos and they turned out exactly like I wanted. My sister used her two years ago for invites and programs both turned out great. report

---------------------

We used her for our invites and I would use her again. She can be a little scatterbrained at times, but in the end they all turned out fantastic.

---------------------

We used Bonnie for our couple's shower invitations and we also are using her right now for our wedding invites. She is wonderful, and like the previous poster said- she is just as excited as you are- We couldn't be more excited to work with her for the invites, everyone raved about our couples shower invitations that she did.

I had read all of the great reviews about Bonnie on here and we forwent traditional invites that we were going to order from Atlas and instead we used Bonnie both for our invites and also for some intimate touches that we wanted for our wedding reception. The invites were great but she was extremely hard to get ahold of over the Christmas holiday. The intimate touches, on the other hand were a NIGHTMARE. After *weeks* of trying to move forward with getting the things we wanted for our reception planned and designed, not hearing back from her after emailing her vital pieces until multiple attempts to even get an answer as to whether she even received the files, we ended up doing ALL of the designing ourselves only for her to design them completely differently anyway. She repeatedly assured us there would be "plenty" of time to finish them and refused to even work on the things until the week before our wedding and was suppose to have them to us the Wednesday before the wedding so that we could tie ribbon on them all. Wednesday came and went and we couldn't get ahold of her. Thursday came and went and she still wasn't answering her phone or returning our messages. We finally heard from her via email at 3:30 A.M. the day before our wedding telling us that the things we had ordered from her were taking longer than expected but that she would get ahold of us first thing (later that) in the morning. Friday morning came and went, no Bonnie, no return to our phone calls, no answers. I got exactly 2 hours sleep in the 48 hours before my wedding because I had to work constantly making up separate files for all of our guests so that we could go to Kinkos and have the things printed (one of the intimate touches was a letter from us to each one of the guests individually.) We finally heard from her 2 hours before our rehearsal telling us the items were ready and that we needed to drive out there to pick them up. By this time we needed to get ready for the rehearsal and dinner, we didn't have time to run out there to pick them up until afterwards. Which meant the night before our wedding, at 11:00 at night we had to drive from down town Toledo to her shop in Maumee, and then get ribbons on all of the things in time to drop them off to our event coordinator to be put on the correct seating plates at the reception the day of our wedding. We had arranged EVERYTHING to try to have as stress free of a day as possible. However when we went to pick them up they weren't what we designed at all and instead of being in the 4 different colors of our wedding they were all the same color, not to mention they were designed differently, too. Her reasoning was that to do it the way we had already planned with her months before would have taken too long to do when she started them less than a week before our wedding. She never apologized or seemed to even regretful about the situation. I am not sure if she had other issues that contributed to this horrendous service but considering all together we spent about $500 with her and I looked horrible on my wedding day because of all of the lost sleep, I couldn't advise against using Bonnie stronger.
