DIY Not Your Thing? Hire a Professional to Help Create Personal Details for Your Wedding or Mitzvah

Given how uncomfortable this made her feel, now that she is creating a bridal shower invitation for the daughter of one of her closest friends, she wants to make sure this doesn’t happen to her. Here is some advice I gave my client to help her avoid the same issue.
