I too went in on a Wednesday for something I need this weekend. They went above and beyond my expectations and had it on the same day. I was lucky.
We are fortunate to have these folks here. Give them a shot you won't regret it.

I walked in to meet Dave the other day to get my Chicago Marathon medal engraved with my finish time. Dave did an excellent and quick job and I am very pleased with the product! Thanks so much!

I called and asked if they could complete an 11x14 engraving in an acrylic sheet for me. They completed the project in less than 30 minutes, they let me watch and review the process from start to finish, and their prices were unbeatable. I would highly recommend this attentive and passionate business!

Went in on a Wednesday morning to order some trophies for an event on Saturday. I figured they say we were out of luck, but the owner was very friendly and accommodating. They had them ready for us on Thursday afternoon. Excellent service!! The trophies turned out great. We'll definitely be back again and I've already referred them several times.

Thanks Dave Anderson for the great service you gave my friend. I referred my friend to you so she get some medals made for a local 5k running race she's hosting for kids. She told me how pleased she was with your prices and service. Thanks for serving Elgin for so many years.

Excellent trophy shop that does wedding invitations, medals, engraving and more. The owners are very helpful and knowledgeable, prices are very fair, the location is wonderful and easy to get to. They can do some work right away and other work is still fairly quick. I highly recommend you try them out. Trophies make great gifts!

I don't post reviews very often. But after today's service I just felt compelled to share my experience. I had a bracelet that I needed engraved very last minute. I ran to Andersen and I was able to get my bracelet engraved right then while I waited. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes with a beautiful engraving on my bracelet. Thank you so much Andersen!

I bring my fantasy football trophies here every year and they're very professional and helpful. I bought trophy supplies online and it was cheap garbage. I will only be supporting this business from now on.

Andersen's is the BEST! My fiancé and I purchased our wedding invitations here, and could not be happier! So many of our guests have commented on how exceptional our invitations are! This place is rare find - you are able to go in and actually choose through hundreds of choices of invites, and you can see and touch and match everything to your liking. This IS the way to do it! No online guessing what you are getting here!! I loved every bit of my experience at Andersen's. Dave and Dawn are sweet as can be....highly recommend!

What a class act! I was on a time crunch and he couldn't have been nicer. He was professional, quick and his kindness in assuring me it would be done on time was appreciated. This is the place to go for engraving, awards, and more. Great family owned business.

Dear Dave and Dawn,
I cannot thank you enough for helping us out of our invitation debacle. I'm happy that you were the ones to do the job. No one else could have done the job with such speed and talent. They're perfect and I am one happy bride! Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. Everyone who needs anything, trophies, invitations, gifts, you name it, they do it, should go there!
Sincerely,
Rima

This place is a GREAT place to get engraving and invitations done. If you have a design you want embossed, they will do it in house, which is cool because a lot of places don't. If you know what you want, they can get it done efficiently. Prices are fair as well.

Thanks to Yelp and earlier reviews I decided to check out Andersen's for our wedding invitations.A lot of printing is done over the internet these days but I felt it was important to go through the process of seeing samples first hand and also support local business.

Andersen's has a very large selection.. I mean, lots and lots of books. My fiancee and I designed our own monogram and they worked with us with the overall design of the invitations, wording and several proofs.

We are so pleased how well the invitations turned out! I even got compliments on the quality of the envelopes

Andersen's has by far, the largest selection of wedding invitations anywhere in a four county area. Very helpful friendly and respectful. They may have the smallest storefront in town but they pack in everything they possibly can to give you the best selection possible.\

They have survived in dowtown Elgin for at least 30 years and still going strong.

Don't let their small shop or website fool you. They have a wider selection of wedding invitations than Papyrus or any other stationer we saw. (Excepting Crane and Company, who had breathtaking invitations, but way out of our price range.)

The owners were incredibly helpful in helping us select the perfect invitation, wording, etc. We unfortunately had to cancel and they graciously refunded all of our money. I expected them to keep a portion for their time, but they insisted.

I wish we could have used them (ended up going a different route entirely), and would definitely go back if we
