The Papery

My invitations were gorgeous! The staff was very helpful and attentive.

The Papery of Sea Girt was very good to work with. They met our dates and the printing of the invitations was high quality. We were very happy with their recommendations on the paper stock and ink color. They also printed Menu cards for us and cocktail napkins, and went the extra mile to meet a tight time frame. I would recommend them.
The one thing we found a little frustrating was looking through all their binders. We described for them what we had in mind for an invitation, and they asked us to look through their books to find it. There were at least 12 huge binders to look through! After 2 hours and only 5 binders completed, we left. Since we were pressed for time, I did some on-line research and then went back with a picture of the invitation we had in mind. They were able to point us to the 2 binders with the exact invitation we were looking for.

Amy is FABULOUS!!!! There is no place like The Papery! They are extremely professional and know exactly what to do! They were so helpful and thoughtful with everything!

To all the brides out there, Please stay clear The Papery of Shrewsbury,NJ. There was a huge oversight reguarding my wedding invitations, but when I addressed the issue with one of the owners, she accused me of fabricating my story. When a client pays thousands of dollars to have beautiful invitations made, and then pays even more for them to be stuffed, sealed, and mailed one would think they could handle the job. Unfortunately that didn't happen. Not only did several of my guests not receive their pre-posted rsvp card, the groom's father didn't even get the original invitation. They state on their website that they value their customers and strive to have high standards, I simply didn't get that experience, but they did get my money. That is all they care about when its all said and done.

I was very pleased with my experience at the Papery. The saleswoman sat down with us for hours and made sure that we were pleased with how things were worded and the fonts we chose. The quality of the product was excellent and their in-house envelope printing matched the invitations' font exactly. My mom even ordered a crystal vase engraved with the invitation on it from the Papery. They accidently engraved the wrong size vase and ended up giving it to her for free. Even though there were some mistakes made- no vendor is perfect and they definitely took the time and effort to correct any mistakes.

Our invitations were beautiful (Crane ~ various stocks, papers and linings), but I'd use another shop to order them. Simply put the sales"girls" were snotty! I can blame the location, but I was born and raised in the area too and I'm not nasty.....When I am spending 2K+ on "paper", I'd like a little more courtesy.

When the invitations we ordered were delivered with the wrong type of card (we wanted a card without a fold and got one), the manager got right on it and tried her best to remedy the situation. Although we didn't get exactly what we wanted, we were very pleased with the service, selection and accountability of the Papery. I would definitely use them again!
