Paper Source

Between wedding planning and my Etsy shop, I’ve become very familiar with the Paper Source. It’s nestled in the cute shopping strip along with James Avery and a few neat looking restaurants. The staff here is extremely helpful with anything you need. If there’s a specific color/​paper/​envelope you’re looking for, give them a call before you head to the store and they’ll set aside the amount you requested (or save you a trip).
I believe that they offer classes, but I’ve stumbled in there and randomly learned how to emboss things, which led to making my own wedding invitations! As an amateur calligrapher, I also addressed my own wedding envelopes and can vouch that their paper quality won’t bleed with sumi or Dr. Martin’s White Ink.
Tons of choices for any project you’re working on and was a lot more affordable than I thought it would be!

The service was great. They have a nice selection of products. I came in looking for a nice notebook. The prices are high but there’s a clearance section in the back. They have some cute and interesting knick-​knacks.

im SHOCKED this place did not have a Unilocal listing. ive been living in this part of town for a few years and JUST found out this place has been here since august 2013??? maybe bc its RIGHT next to tom thumb in that big shopping center and tom thumb is about as great on prices as ferraris are.
i have a secret and big appreciation for good stationary. in this age of social media and the barriers it creates between humans i really value taking time to write out correspondences for special occasions or people.
i’ve lived all over the us and i like this place the best bc it has stuff that is completely unique vs a hallmark. you can even feel it in the texture since many of their stuff is letterpress and you know its high quality vs hallmark. they are going into that space but they aren’t there yet.
papyrus is great but their stuff doesn’t have any character or life to their items. they have beautiful stationary but the stuff at paper source is so much better and the selection is so much more diverse in terms of tone and materials — yet the recipient will know you didn’t get this a target or walmart.
there’s paper affair which is sort of the same but the selection at paper source is night and day in my opinion. its more of a glorified target type of selection to me there vs paper source
the avg price for a card is $ 4-​$ 5 just so you know but if im taking time to sit down and write out a well thought out note then im not going to bitch about $ 4-​$ 5. call me old fashioned.
then again people spend sooooooooooooooooooo MUCH more time on their wedding plans such as stationary than they do actually working on them after so maybe im NOT old fashioned?!?
they do a ton of custom work but i have never touched that side of the business.
i do not work for them, audit me if you want!
