Awesome selection and fast shipping! I bought my menu cards, placecards, map/direction cards (in colors Luxe Cream and Blush), and Kolo Engagement Photo album from Paper Source. All very reasonably priced and good paper weight.

I think I could spend an entire week in paper source. I absolutely love it! I get so inspired to become a very crafty person whenever I enter the store. It is definitely on the pricey side.

We got all of our paper on time, and it was great. The color selection could be a little better but you can't complain too much. The paper did what it needed to do :)

I have gone to the paper source in Beverly Hills for my invites and all my paper needs. This place is heaven for a DIY girl!

PS makes it really easy for you to customize your own design and also to print on your own. They've got custom letterpress that you can order, but don't push it at all. Lots of great ideas, offers classes, lots of DIY step-by-step guides, etc. Staff was friendly... Oh, and you can purchase materials in lots of 10, 25, 50, so if you are having a smaller wedding, like me, it is great... you don't have to over-order by the 100 and waste!

Paper Source is a fantastic place if you are looking to do some creative, DIY stuff for your wedding. I visited their stores in person to start with to try and flesh out my ideas. I wanted to make some origami flowers in our theme color to decorate the guestbook table and the people at the Paper Source store really helped me figure out how to do this and get all the materials for making them. Super helpful! I ended up ordering a bunch of stuff from their website as well once I knew what I wanted to do. Awesome store!

Their website has some of the most beautiful invitations I've seen. Their DIY invitation selection is quite extensive and has really great invitation kits that you can purchase through them or you can try to find the supplies separately and copy their design.

The DIY kit I received contained a printout of specific directions on how to set my printer, how to design the invitation, and what recommended tools I would need to put everything together. The directions were invaluable, and also had other suggestions for additional design elements. Also, the directions are available on their website in a video, so you can watch someone making the invitation. This saved me a lot of time in trying to figure out how to do everything.

The paper was in great quality, and everything was cut perfectly. Everyone loved the invitation and was quite surprised that my sister and I put everything together ourselves. We made all 50 invitations in one evening, but it required a lot of work! The embossing took the longest time and we had a lot of trials and errors. If I had to make more than 50 invitations, I think I would have just gone with a vendor.

I've visited the Paper Source store in Berkeley and Fillmore Street. Both stores are quite well stocked and the saleswomen are quite knowledgeable about all crafts. I can spend hours in both stores and walk out with hundreds of dollars of supplies. I've found stamps, ink, string, and various other goodies that were so helpful for a DIY bride like me.

Got a few things there for my invitations and place cards, but I found that there were other less commercial (more industrial) places that would sell a similar paper type for less. Great when you don't have time or just looking for ideas.

I purchased all of the supplies for my invites from the Paper Source in Santana Row(San Jose). I have nothing but great things to say about them. The staff was extremely helpful and nice. I can be in there for hours!

If you want your invitations to be different than your typical wedding invitations, Paper Source is a great place to get some great ideas. They are expensive, but if you want nice quality its worth it. Our invitations turned out really nice and didn't look homemade. They have lots of different paper to chose from and paper with great prints! They also have these card kits. Very cool! I'm not too sure if they have the kits for wedding invitations, I'm sure they do, but i know have them for other occassions. I liked this because if you're a person that wants something different, but isn't too creative these kits are perferct for you.

Beautiful invites and not too pricey. If only they had the customer service to back up the designs!

It has been seven weeks since we ordered (with a maximum five week turnaround) a stock design and there are no invites in sight. We have received runarounds between departments, days without contact, and all sorts of promises about when our invites will be ready. We're wondering if we'll get them at all. Our RSVP deadline is five weeks away.

Great for DIY stuff, but be very, very wary of their custom letterpress.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE papersource. They are the perfect solution for affordable invitations. Smart, simple, cute and classy. I only wish that they had more selection in albums. Photographers charge sooo much for albums, so I just got the images and made my own. But I was disappointed that PaperSource didn't have leather albums. Overall a terrific experience. Now they have stores in Berkeley which makes my life even easier. I will be using them for baby showers invites.
