Papyrus

Ehh. I am just not digging Papyrus. Or this one anyway. On a quiet morning the staff member seemed completely bored. I would have liked to interact a bit but felt shut out.
Also, while their cards are lovely, any of the 3D-​ish ones (which constitute a large percentage of their stock) require more postage and special handling to send (as in, they tell you to get it hand canceled at the Post Office). I don’t know about you, but this is a lot of effort for a card that is already pretty damn $$$. If you’re handing it to someone in person this won’t be a problem, but many of the people to whom I would give a card live far away.
Overall, if I want an expensive greeting card, I will go to the Paper Source in downtown Naperville. (Or better yet, for someplace with unique cards at a somewhat lower price, Paper Merchant in Geneva.) While pretty, these products are just too high-​maintenance.

There’s just nothing like giving or getting a Papyrus card. Well, except getting a handmade card from a child. But people don’t seem to enjoy my handmade crayon and construction paper creations as much as they used to. So Papyrus it is.
This was my first trip to an actual Papyrus store. It was all I imagined it would be and more. This location is small and maybe a bit cramped, but the selection more than makes up for it. The table displays are full and merchandised beautifully. I absolutely see myself coming in for a thoughtful card and leaving with a thoughtful little gift for the card recipient. The area that holds the wedding invitations is very neat and super well organized.
Come for the gorgeous cards, stay for the extensive sale section.

I have come here for years with a variety of purchases without complaint. Everyone who works there is so helpful and friendly regardless of how small or big your project.

My fiancé and I ordered our wedding invitations, rehearsal dinner invitations, and escort cards through Papyrus in Wheaton. The experience was great. Erin acted as a consultant and friend during the process. I highly recommend working with her. Erin took us through a variety of options, and was considerate of our timeframe, budget, and color schemes. Definitely go visit the Papyrus in Wheaton during the wedding planning process.

I ordered my wedding invites from this Papyrus store.
Customer service was great and they turned an otherwise completely overwhelming experience into something fun and easy-​going.
I got my proofs in about half the time I expected, and I had several changes to be made. I got my revised proof within a few days and they were exactly what I wanted.
The invites arrived and they were perfect. I got so many compliments on how classy and beautiful they were. Someone called my mom and said «it’s about time a decent wedding invitiation came through my door.»
We ended up ordering stationary from them too, because the service was so great. Everything came out beautiful. I totally recommend.

Even though this is a smaller store than the one in Oakbrook, it still has plenty of wonderful cards.
Single occasion cards, wrapping paper, gift bags, boxed stationery, tissue paper, it’s all stuffed in here.
These stores offer a most unique variety of cards.
