This place is awesome! Loralee was so easy to work with and super flexible with designs! They made our wedding program and name plates for the table assignments. I highly recommend them!

Extremely accommodating, I think changed my order 3 times and they were happy and willing to work with my changes. They were quick to respond and did everything as agreed upon. They offer awesome service for an extremely reasonable price.

I wish I could post a picture of the gorgeous invitations So Cal Graphics did! They had so much patience with me! They did the best job I could only imagine. I didn't know it was possible to have the perfect invitations! They also did the seating chart on poster board that had the same design/style as the invites! Loved it all! Couldn't be happier! I will be going back to them for our Thank You cards and future needs!!

SoCal Graphics printed out my ceremony and reception programs as well as my wedding map. They were all beautiful, of great quality and very affordable!

So Cal did an amazing job designing and printing all my baby shower stuff. From invites, envelopes, thank you cards, signs & posters, game sheets, sticker, you name it! They later on printed 2 versions of my son's birth announcement! The quality was outstanding and the service was great! Definitely will use them for ALL my printing needs!

Working with Loralee has been one of the best experiences I've had dealing with wedding vendors so far. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I had no idea about what printing process or paper I should use and she was so patient and answered all of my questions. I'm so happy with my product and they gave me a really great price. I would and will recommend them to anyone that needs printing!

I just loved the way our invites turned out! Our guests are raving about them.

The creative process from the SoCal Graphics Team made the entire designing and printing experience so much fun. And we couldn't be happier with the results. Thanks for everything!

I would highly recommend So Cal Graphics for wedding invitations! Loralee was very knowledgeable about the paper types, color options, coating, etc and was able to help me figure out the best for what I was going for. Loralee and their design artists spent a lot of time getting my design just right. Even though I had the design done by a friend, they still helped me fix issues with the colors etc, and even switched out an entire graphic for a better quality image. I also had envelopes printed and I was extremely pleased with how they turned out. For a small additional fee, they print the guest's names on the envelopes and this was a nice time-saver and made the envelopes look that much more professional. I will definitely use them again for any/all my design and printing needs.

SoCal graphics was great to work with. I brought in my files and they gave me recommendations on paper, sizing, envelopes, etc which ended up being perfect. I chose something simple, but it looked like they had tons of options. They had proofs ready for me the same day and made special arrangements to get them to me because I couldn't make it back to their store before they closed that day. Once I approved the proofs, they had everything printed for me (plus lots of extras!) the next day. Super fast, great pricing, friendly service, and everything came out perfect. Highly recommended!

I used So Cal Graphics for all of my printing needs for my wedding and absolutely loved how every single item turned out. Loralee and Rosie are the dream team of design and printing!
We had a theme for our wedding and send them some ideas and pictures as to what our vision was. They took what we provided and took it to the next level.
They created our invitations, RSVP cards, programs, table assignment posters, place cards and signs (i.e. favor table, sign in table, gift table, table signs, Instagram instructions, etc...). Eeach item was unique, yet cohesive in that it carried our theme perfectly throughout all of our printing needs.
I'm a perfectionist and indecisive, so I know I wasn't the easiest to work with. I had a lot of questions and requests for revisions to make everything just like I wanted, and they couldn't have been more responsive, professional and kind throughout the whole process.
The design, quality and turnaround time on everything were perfect. And the pricing is fantastic. There wasn't anything they couldn't or wouldn't do! Thank you to So Cal Graphics for making our vision come alive!

We had our Save The Dates, Shower and Wedding Invitations all done through SoCal Graphics. They all turned out beautiful! Loralee assisted us, and she was very helpful and responsive. I'm an artist, so we created our own designs in Illustrator, and sending our files over to SoCal was seamless and easy. They even offered email pdf proofs for us which saved a lot of time, especially with how busy we were while trying to plan our wedding. The turn around time and quality was excellent as well. I have already recommended them to two of my friends who are getting married later this year. I will definitely use their services again. Thanks again, Loralee!

It was a delight to work with So Cal Graphics! I had very elaborate passport invitations that I needed printed. The quotes I was getting were outrageous and no one was willing to help/suggest alternate options. Loralee took my PDF files and worked with me to make the printing more efficient and more cost effective. By using different paper and larger sheets I was able to get my dream invites at a price I could afford. No other shop was interested in working with me in this way and I was so grateful for her thoughtfulness and great customer service. To top it off, turn around was super quick and the invites looked AMAZING! I recommend this vendor to anyone who is looking for high quality wedding invites and fabulous customer service!

I worked with Loralee at SoCal graphics to print my invitations, inserts, programs and menus. She was extremely responsive and was always pleasant and helpful. Everyone at SoCal that I came in contact with was very nice and the results were beautiful. I will defintiely use them in the future for any printing projects I have.

So Cal Graphics was an amazing group of people to work with for the design and printing of my Bridal Shower Invitations, Save the Date announcements, and our full Wedding "Suite" of invites, envelopes, RSVP cards and more. At the "head" of this well run family owned company is Shelly Mason. She not only knows everything a business or Bride could want or need, she also has great artistic instincts as well. So, with Shelly, you get the creativity of a graphic designer, as well as someone who knows their product from top to bottom. Shelly was a joy to work with! She not only met with me several times in person, she was also available by phone. So Cal Graphics also has a skilled in house graphic designer. I used jpeg files for all my invitation designs. This saved me a lot of money. Graphic designer, Scott, improved upon the design of all my wedding related printings. He even designed our RSVP Cards when the online artist failed to do so. So Cal Graphics where amazing to work with. Their work was impeccable and high quality...always. I can't recommend them enough!

So Cal Graphics did an AMAZING job on ALL my invitations and wedding print jobs!! From my invitations, to my table cards, and even mounting my Programs onto gorgeous card-stock and embellishing them with a monogram, everything was absolutely PERFECT! Shelly Mason, whom I have done business with on other professional print jobs, was beyond accommodating to all of my last-minute requests and so responsive!! Thank you Shelly and So Cal Graphics for helping this crazy bride's wedding dreams come true!!!

My fiance and I are Do-It-Yourselfers, so we couldnt imagine spending $7-$9 an invitation. However I can work my way around photoshop and so could my wedding coordinator, so we did the art work and sent them over to So Cal Graphics for printing. For those people who dont know graphic arts, i believe they can design invitations as well! Loralee was more than helpful. We sent in an online quote request and she emailed us within hours. Then we were able to speak on the phone, through email or even go to them in person. Whenever we had a question she emailed us back within minutes so i never needed to worry about when a response would come. I also want to mention that you dont have to worry about 2-4 weeks for processing, we submitted our order on Monday, Loralee emailed me pictures of the proofs on Tuesday and we picked them up on Wednesday. 3 days start to finish!!!! They can also order envelopes and normal cardstock if thats what you need. Once we recieved our invitations from them we made paper sleeves and tied a ribbon, they were vintage cruise tickets. Everyone loved them and they cost us less than $5 each. I cant say enough about So Cal Graphics, dont spend a ton of money and a boutique to get a unique look. So Cal will help you with everything!

When searching for vendors for my wedding invitations I came across numerous websites and I have to say it was pretty overwhelming trying to figure out all the details that go into wedding invitations, like the kind of paper, colors, design and the lost goes on...

It's a lot of work trying to do it all on your own. Which is why I wanted a professional to take care of all those details at a competitive price since like most couples out there we are definitely on a budget. SoCal Graphics came in highly recommended from a friend. To be quite honest, they actually sounded too good to be true but I have to admit my fiancee and I were extremely impressed with the quality of work and customer service they provided us from the very first time I called asking for information to the day we received our beautiful invitations.

Loralee along with all the staff at SoCal Graphics were always insanely patient and willing to accommodate to our needs. What I loved the most is the fact they gave me a lot of creative direction. My artistic side is not always the best and I loved how they would always be honest and would guide me when I needed help.

It definitely did not feel like they were just trying to do business, it really showed their passion for what they do. Finding and communicating with some of my vendors has been pretty stressful at times but the invitations process has been the most stress free part of our planning journey.

My fiance` and I both have 9-6 jobs in downtown San Diego and are on a budget for our wedding! My fiance` is a law student so cheap but good quality invites were key for us. My fiance` is great with designing things on the computer and we quickly decided he needed to design them and we needed to find a printer. I googled "print wedding invitations in San Diego" SoCal was the first to pop up and I clicked it. I e-mailed for a quote and Loralee e-mailed me back almost immediately. It was perfectly reasonable and perfect! We got a file together and sent it in. She got them printed quickly and even had them delivered to my work downtown as they are closed by the time I get off but not open before I have to go to work. She was amazing! I heard that planning a wedding was stressful but all Loralee did was ease any stress I was having. Thank you again SoCal Graphics, I will be using you in the future and will refer you to anyone who needs your services!

So Cal Graphics made all of our invitations, seating cards, and wedding favor tags. I designed them, and they worked with me to get each card to print just right. I would 100% recommend this company for any of your graphic needs. As a picky bride they never made me feel as if my requests were unreasonable.

I was so happy with the outcome of my invites from So Cal Graphics! I designed 2-sided invites, 2-sided registry/website inserts and 1-sided rsvp cards, and the staff helped me perfect the settings for print and they all turned out perfectly. Will definitely be going back to them for menu and other things I need printed for the wedding :)

Socal graphics did an amazing job printing my wedding invites. In fact, they did such a nice job that I ended up having them print my ceremony programs, seating chart, guest cards, and a wedding tree poster as well! I feel really lucky that I found them. Their pricing was pretty much unbeatable (I quoted several different places in the San Diego area), but no lack of quality. They were also highly professional in providing physical proofs and requiring me to sign off on them in person. I loved everything that came back from the printers -- cuts were even, packaging was great, paper was thick, etc. I got many compliments on all of my wedding stationary :)

A big difference was also that the staff was very friendly -- during my first visit, they were around for almost an hour and a half, letting me browse different paper samples, giving me quotes for all sorts of different combinations, and answering all sorts of random questions.

Finally, when I was in a last-minute jam (printing out table seating charts, guest cards, etc.), they were so gracious as to provide a very quick turn-around time. For any frantic bride, flexibility from a vendor is amazing. In general, I was very pleased with my experience with them, and am very happy that I found them!

Loralee and So Cal Graphics were super accommodating and patient with me as I emailed back and forth trying to determine what size and paper stock I wanted to print my invitations. She let me browse through their paper stock, to see and feel which one I liked. Once I sent over the artwork files, they showed me the proofs and everything was printed within 1-2 days! The quality of the print work is top notch and their pricing is very reasonable. I'm so happy with the way my invitations turned out; I'll be back printing more of my wedding materials. Thanks So Cal Graphics!

So Cal Graphics was great. Loralee walked me through each step and helped me make whatever changes were necessary. The pricing was very fair for printing and cutting of invite, RSVP, and info card. I will be going back to them for my menu's as well.

I designed my own invitations and then used Socal Graphics to print them out. I also purchased all my envelopes from a different vendor because they didn't have access to all the sizes and colors I wanted as quickly as I needed them, but SoCal Graphic printed all the addresses on both the mailing envelope and the RSVP envelopes. All you have to do is submit an excel file and they can print all your invitees addresses which saves so much time and it can look really great if you use a fancy calligraphy font. They did a great job with all the printing and were very friendly and easy to work with. They even let me come back to have six additional envelopes printed when I realized I had forgotten some people, and most printers would not be willing to do such a small batch. They told me they also have graphic designers who will design your invitations for you, but since I did them myself I can't speak to their talent in that department but I would say it's definitely worth a try. Overall, using them over a traditional stationery store or even online sources saved me a lot of money and was well worth it!

We had the displeasure of dealing with So Cal Graphics. We brought custom engraved envelopes (30 of them) for our actual wedding (immediate family only) and 100 envelopes for our wedding reception which is 5 days later to So Cal Graphics.
All we wanted was for the addresses to be printed on both sets of envelopes with the font and color of our choice. We received an email from Lorallee saying there was a "small " problem. The problem was that their machine "ate" 50% of our 30 custom engraved envelopes.(her small problem was our worst nightmare!!) They offered to replace the envelopes with something that was very inferior and not custom engraved. We had to immediately make several phone calls and put a rush on replacement envelopes that will cost us in excess of $100 including rush shipping.
So-Cal Graphics did the addresses for about 84 of our reception envelopes and they were fine until we asked where the other 16 envelopes were.We were then told for the 1st time, that 16 had also been "destroyed/were not usable" and there are not any more envelopes. Brett, the manager/owner told us everyone knows that envelopes are destroyed in the printing process. I told him that I had no idea that occurs and why didn't they tell us this when we brought in our custom envelopes.
Suffice it to say we are now ordering additional reception envelopes due to their errors. Brett was unwilling to pay for any of these costs (well over $150 for these placements, rush shipping)
Bottom line is that our wedding and reception invitations are going out about a week to 10 days later than we had planned.
I would not recommend using So Cal Graphics. Lorallee and Brett were less than professional & unpleasant, and they expect the consumers to be experts on the printing process and they are unwilling to take responsibility for their errors and are not willing to make things right when they screwed up. They also charged us 100% of the cost for the wedding envelopes to add insult to injury.
