I'm making my bf a "bride-to-be" hoodie but don't want to spend tons of money on ordering one online-I've seen them for $70! So, I'm going to buy a white hoodie from somewhere like Old Navy or Target but get it embroidered somewhere else. Any suggestions for places in the city to do this?

    Sorry, I don't have a recommendation for the city, but in case you don't find any place,  I would recommend EmbroidMe in Naperville.  It took me a long time to find someone to embroider my "getting ready" sweatsuit that I pre-purchased at Target.
    I worked with Becky, and she went above and beyond to find symbols/fonts/thread colors that were similar to our monogram.  I had a winter/Christmas wedding, and she found a snowflake design for the back of my hoodie, and a smaller one for the front. She also put a couple on the front of one of the legs of the sweat bottoms. It was so cute, I wore it getting ready, flying out for the honeymoon, and while we were on our honeymoon. I think I have their info in my siggy under For Sale/vendors.
