Papyrus

I love sending cards for birthdays/​holidays/​everydays! I do most of my card shopping at boutiques or at Papyrus so as to get a card most people haven’t seen when they’ve gone card shopping themselves. Papyrus is one good place to get unique cards.
Yes, lots of the cards are expensive. Some are moderately priced, though, and they often have «buy 3, get 1 free» type promotions, so you can do okay. I try not to skimp on my card purchases because I don’t send them out of social custom; I send them because I care.
Consider buying boxed sets for whatever occasion. I got the most adorable bridal shower invites there, and I always send Papyrus Valentines (well, «always» since last year, so next year is third annual.). I got some unique Christmas card boxed sets a few weeks ago on super clearance — I think I got some 60 cards for $ 20, and I didn’t even go with the cheapy ones.
They have some nice gifts in the back, too, and they giftwrap in store.
People will love your cards. Definitely worth the money!

Super cute card shop in Galleria!
My sis and I stopped by while walking through last weekend. I had a couple occasions coming up that I needed to buy cards for. I found a huge amount of cute cards here, very unique!
Look carefully on the back to see if extra postage will be required, because it says it on the back of the cards. I avoided these.
Found 3 cute cards for birthdays and my anniversary and was happy to hear that I could get a fourth for free.
They are pricy — but unique and eye catching. I’ll be back!
