Paper Depot Inc

Great if you want to make your own invitations. Lots of sample invitations to get you started that you can copy exactly or customize to fit your style. The staff will then walk you through how to make them and what supplies you will need.

Fantastic value and good service. They help you visualize a variety of things from invitations, table favors, etc. They are willing to show you how to do the work, and answer any questions. They special-ordered some paper for us, and expedited a re-order when they felt the quality of what they received wasn't up to their standards. I can't speak highly enough of this business.

This was a great place if you want to put in lots of hours to make your own invitations. All together all of my invitations took me about 30hours total to make. I made 180 invitaitons. I spent a lot of time at the Paper Depot. There is some really good help at the Paper Depot except for an older gental man that works there. He was not the nicest person there to work with every single time we were there. Stick with the ladies they were all great. Thank you for all your help. My invitaitons were beautiful!

If you want to have your colors in the invitations, this is the way to go. My daoughter's colors were black, silver and cobalt blue. We selected the style and paper. The staff were very helpful. Showed us how to yse the dye cuts. How to get the most out of our paper. Great. The invitations turned out. thank you

Awesome - they had everything I needed and they helped with the layout and design. Best place for cheap and stylish paper products. I also got my favor materials here!

We really enjoyed working with the Paper Depot to design and order our invitations and programs. They were very helpful in giving us ideas on how to design the invitations and determining what and how many supplies we needed to order. Their services allowed us to get a product that looked very expensive but was within our price range by doing the work ourselves. We were very satisfied with their services.

I decided to do it myself for all the paper stuff (invites, programs, place cards, table numbers). I drove to four different paper stores around the cities and the Paper Depot had a much better selection than any place else. The staff at Paper Depot were very helpful through the process, including making recommendations of where to do services (i.e. printing) that they did not do.

A great place to shop for paper when you're creative and want to do it yourself. The staff was great and the supplies were reasonably priced. With help from family and friends, doing invites myself saved a ton of money.

I found the perfect envelopes for my DIY invitations here, and Japanese-patterned papers for my name cards. It's a great place to find a variety of colors, patterns and textures.

i love paper depot. always have. so when i got engaged, i knew exactly where to go to get the stuff for my DIY invitations. they were really helpful with creative ideas + cost-effective planning. the only reason i didn't give them a 5 out of 5 was that it was really, really busy every time i went in. not their fault, but it took a long time to get any individual help. but it was totally worth the time + the wait.

I thought I knew what I wanted when I went in there, but with their help (on 3 separate trips) the idea improved significantly. As well, they helped me to produce invites and thank yous more efficiently with paper size and layout. Also, there are hundreds of samples to inspire new ideas. Really great experience. Terrific staff, selection and pricing.

GREAT if you plan to put in a little effort

I loved doing my own invitations even though it was a lot of work. The ladies at the Paper Depot are great and help you create exactly what you are looking for in an invitation. The invites looked very professional and were mistaken as ordered online from several of my guests. I was pleased with how helpful the service was and the cost difference was huge in comparison to ordering online what I was looking for.

Great source for paper. I got all of the supplies for our invites, thank you notes and placecards here all at a great price. Very fun store to look around in.

The best selection and quality of materials needed for wedding stationary (invites, thank yous, menus, programs, etc.) in the Twin Cities area. I found everything there for my wedding and some great ideas too.

Wonderful service. They worked with us and made sure we were happy. They also didn't try to up-sell us and made sure to keep us within our budget. It was a great experience working with them

If you have the time and/or wish to create a one of a kind invitation and program this is the place to go in Minneapolis. We had a unique vision for our invitations and the design staff at Paper Depot was extraordinary at helping us figure out the how, what and How much. The designer I worked with was a huge help in showing us the papers and die cuts we would need. That said, the other staff we ran into when purchasing paper for our programs was not so fun to deal with.
One thing to keep in mind, Paper depot allows you free use of all their die cut machines, paper cutters and equipment. They do not do any printing. They provide you with easy instructions to set up your computer to the right size frames and we took ours to FedEx/Kinkos who did a marvelous job and printed them off on the spot.
After the work was done, invitations sent, and programs folded, it was well worth the time and effort. We received numerous compliments from friends who are printers, designers and artists. I wouldn't have done it any other way.

Paper Depot was a great place to go for our wedding invitations! We made our own, and they helped us every step of the way to making a beautiful invitation! We ended up making our programs too with the help of the staff.

smaller store, decent paper prices

You dream it they will help it become a reality. You put print everything and put it together. Helped me make a one of a kind invite.

Very friendly staff!

Great experence... it is all DIY. Staff was really great with helping to get me started.

This place is awesome! If yuo are enjoy artsy stuff, this place will be a perfect place to use your artistic side, if you like the looks of the handmade invites, but aren't that great at desigining, this place has a great staff to assist you for free!

staff was very helpful and knowledgable. they listened and met my needs.

I struggled with how exactly I wanted my invitations to look, but after going to Paper Depot I came out very pleased with our final invitation. They really helped me with ideas and how to keep costs down and had great suggestions. The samples they have are great to get ideas and we had soooooooo many compliments on our invitations about how unique they were and no one had seen anything like that before!

I liked that they had mock-ups to get ideas. They were very affordable. I had to ask for help to find out how the process works. They only let you make 1 mock-up at a time or you had to pay for the extra supplies. I ended up going back 3 different times, because I didn't like the way they were turning out.

Great paper products, reasonably priced, very helpful staff.

I was able to create the invitation I wanted at a very reasonable cost. I loved the outcome and received a lot of compliments on my pocketfold invitations. Very easy to work with and able to provide direction for those who need help or suggestions. Wish they were open on Sunday.

It was fun making my own invitations for my wedding. I just had a few issues with printing them and then cutting them. Everything that they helped me with turned out very nice. I loved our invitations!

The Paper Depot is a scrapbooker's dream to wander around in! They have so many unique things for sale and every kind and color of paper imaginable. They also have tons of mock wedding invitations and programs to give you inspiration. However, the service is horrible! I went there 4 different times and was disappointed every time. They are always short-staffed so if you have questions of need help, be prepared to stand at the counter and wait for up to a half hour. Also, when you eventually do get some help, they are rude and act like you are being an inconvienience to them and are a waste of time. Everyting is rather expensive, but one positive is that if you overestimate and buy too much paper, you can bring it back and return it. Also, bring walking shoes if you go on a Saturday. There is very little parking, so you may have to walk a ways.

Tons of ideas to look at when designing your invites, programs, etc! The paper to choose from is equally amazing!

Great place to design and create your own invitations. Employees are very helpful and knowledgeable and I was able to make all of my own invites and save the date cards at a fraction of what it would cost to order them. Some paper stores have better prices, but not better options/service.

My husband and I loved working with the people at the Paper Depot! We designed and made our own invitations and they helped us to create a mock up that had everything we wanted and then gave us price quotes on doing things ourselves and having them do it. I thought their prices were reasonable, but we went forward mostly on our own anyway. We used their die-cutting machine one afternoon and that was easy as pie. We did have them cut down some paper and the price was fair.

We also had a rubber stamp made through them. I did not spend time price checking this, but I thought the price was fair and the stamp turned out great! Ordering it was easy and they called us right when it was in- which was only a couple of days after we ordered it.

I really have to say again that the staff was so helpful and patient and helped us with ideas. Even my poor husband, who was so overwhelmed with the process felt comfortable with them and felt like he learned a lot.

I was able to create my wedding invitations on my own using The Paper Depot. I chose cardstock of my wedding colors and designs I liked. A staff member helped me put my ideas together into a cohesive invitation. She even helped me figure out how they would be more affordable and how many of each type of paper I'd need to make the number of invitations I needed. They had stamps, seals, stickers, cardstock, and ribbon to choose from in any texture or color you can imagine. They also had samples to look at to get ideas. Very personalized and helpful.

Obviously this is more DIY than other invitation places, but the cost we paid for our invitation reflected that. After clawing through their bins of halfway organized samples we came across a few that we liked, the staff helped us work up samples in our colors and prices for the number we needed. When we came back and purchased all the paper and envelopes they basically opened the door to their workroom for us to use their equipment. We ended up with a fairly complicated cut/fold system that resulted in a very neat invitation, but would not have been possible without their cutters. My only complaint is that their stock of other supplies (non paper stuff) could be a little bigger, but they are a small mom & pop shop. Service was great every time I went here.
