with Grace

with Grace was by far one of the best experiences with vendors for our wedding. Jen the owner is just great - went out of her way to help us with our logistical craziness as we work out of town. She has super taste and as noted by another reviewer keeps your budget in mind. I found her refreshingly honest about total wastes of money with respect to the invitations while she was in a position to really profit from those. Not found very often from wedding vendors. She wisely recommended that we spend the extra money with our photographer as that is what will last post the wedding.
We received so many compliments on our invites - it was incredible. Working with Jen, we wound up with very tasteful, elegant invitations that really matched the tone of our "formal" wedding. She has examples from all sorts of previous weddings in the shop too helping to make the process a bit more fun than we expected. She also does birth announcements, etc. The rest of the shop has really fun stationery and gift items that I couldn't resist purchasing. If you don't live in the area, it's definitely worth it to stop in!

I moved into Roscoe Village about a year before my wedding, so a friend and I stopped into With Grace just to check out what they had. 9 months later, I have gotten my save-the-dates, thank-you cards, wedding invitations, rehearsal dinner invitations and countless Christmas, birthday and bridal party gifts here! I've never seen the type of customer service they have here - the owner and each of her adorable employees treat you like you're a new friend that they're happy to help! (In fact, when picking save-the-dates, I was looking at one of the most expensive styles and the owner actually recommended that I not spend that much money on save-the-dates...I've never had someone try to talk me out of spending money in their store! But she's so sweet, she was trying to help me find something that wouldn't bust my budget.) I would recommend this store to anyone needing custom stationary, invitations or just fun host gifts or presents for friends (they have really fun wine-stoppers and cocktail napkins too!). Even if you don't live in the neighborhood, it's totally worth the drive/train/bus ride! Plus they're moving to a larger space about 1/2 block west of their current location soon, so they'll have even more room for more goodies!
