Custom Stationery at The Paperie
There is something simply wonderful about seeing a letter or invitation in your mailbox. Your heart may even skip a beat. “Who’s having a party?” “Who’s getting married?” “Someone took the time to write ME a card?” Physical invitations and letters are tactile and include detail — the weight and feel of the paper or card stock, the ink process, whether it’s been letterpressed, engraved, or embossed — that is often missed in an email or evite. It’s a personal statement and it sets the tone of the party and/or the character of the sender.
In an age of digital media and instant gratification, the custom stationery and greeting card industry is thriving. While the relatively new email invite, or evite, phenomenon serves its purpose (no stamps are necessary, no addressing or running to the post office to mail is needed, and they are instantly received among other benefits), personalized, hard copy printed invitations and stationery sent through snail mail continue to grow in popularity. Despite what you may expect in the modern age, “ready communication” has not been able to edge out the appeal of a hand printed invitation, and a whole new generation has begun to discover the beauty of the greeting card.
Details on a letterpress invitation by The Paperie at Collage Home.
Perhaps it’s that the paper used for stationery is heavier and of higher quality than the paper we tend to see in our day to day lives, the beauty of a letterpressed design, or just the personal nature of a hand-written note that lends it a special quality that can’t be captured by any other medium.
As you may have heard, The Paperie was opened within Collage Home last October. At The Paperie, you can find that special greeting card for that special person, beautiful cocktail napkins, boxed stationery and notes, fun and whimsical note pads as well as personalized paper products. We offer custom orders of personalized stationery, note pads, address stamps, cocktail napkins, hand towels, gift enclosures, and even personalized koozies, cups and bridge sets! (These usually take about two weeks to receive, so plan ahead for that special personalized gift for that person who is hard to buy for.)
Custom printing options.
We also offer in-house printing for invitations of all kinds. This is one of our favorite services because we get to help make a client’s event memorable. Remember, our lines are expanding and new blank stock is arriving all the time. Many in house orders can be turned around within a week!
It’s exciting to see a younger generation embracing custom paper goods and continuing the tradition of the hand-written note or personalized invitation. It’s no surprise given that the heavy stocks and the embellishments are so beautiful — hand letterpress and gold foiling surely makes a birthday card a mini piece of art. Frame it and the card is a gift in itself!
