I first discovered Paper Source through a blog that listed websites for invitation supplies. I was going to order one of their DIY kits online until I realized they had locations in SoCal! I felt like I was in paper craft heaven when I entered the store! I found supplies to make custom invitations from scratch, exactly the way I wanted. If you like paper craft and you're tired of shopping at your mom's dated craft store (e.g. JoAnn fabrics, Michael's), this is the place for you. It carries hip, cool, beautiful, and sophisticated paper supplies. Although it adds up quickly, I found their prices to be surprisingly reasonable.

I gave this store 4 stars because although the staff is generally friendly, I did receive incorrect information on two of their products which required a return trip and I've found the Pasadena store staff to be even friendlier and more informed about their products and paper craft in general (e.g. they gave me great suggestions and turned me on to some cool new products!).

Big plus: They make returns super-easy so anything you buy and don't use can be returned within 30 days (or store credit within 90 days I think).

we created our own wedding invitations and found our some of our paper and envelopes at Paper Source. they carry different lines of various textures of paper in all sizes and forms. in addition , the greeting cards are classy and clean -- not flowery, pink and cheesy. they carry notecards, journals, albums and various stationery products (such as of do it your self projects) that don't scream michael's or hallmark but represent the modern urban lifestyle.
