Our Specialty

Do-It-Yourself invitations, cards and announcements for life's big events are our specialty. Whether you are planning a wedding and want a unique wedding invitation, or your family is celebrating a birthday, sweet sixteen, Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah, we are here to help you design and make your own.  Our staff members have years of design experience and training, and are happy to help you through each step.

Bring us your own design ideas or choose one of ours, we have hundreds from which to choose. If you see an invitation in a magazine that you like bring it in to us. If you can make us a pencil sketch of your idea we will take it from there. Our staff has many years of experience turning ideas into invitations. We have die cutting machines that cut the popular pocket invitations for free. If pockets are part of your design you'll have many shapes from which to choose and they can all be made from our extensive selection of papers and card stocks.

Paper Depot has the best selection of papers, card stocks, and matching envelopes to be found under one roof. The hardest part of the job is narrowing down your choices. You'll choose from World class papers, matching or contrasting envelopes, ribbons, fasteners, gems, etc. We have papers with many different finishes from traditional felt and linen finishes to the hot shimmer papers. Other papers have printed designs you can use as accents or to create a theme. Vellum overlays, we have over 100 designs from which to choose, add a touch of elegance and can be printed in many home printers. If you are unsure of how to choose your materials, one of our designers will gladly help you.

After you've selected your papers and embellishments, our designers will create a free sample invitation or card for you. They will teach you any techniques you need to know to make your invitation. They create a layout sheet with each finished paper size so you can easily lay out your card for printing and cutting. Then they do all the math! They record exactly how many pieces of each paper you need, as well as precisely how much adhesive, ribbon or other embellishments are required. That way, you buy only what you will use. Finally, they include the complete price for all your materials. They will even calculate your postage.

Home computer printers have come a long way. While any printing professional can tell the difference between ink jet and professional printing, I can't. Odds are that neither you nor your guests can either. Our designers will help you select paper that will work in your ink jet or laser printer. They will even tell you how to set up your computer. Some of you won't want to print your own. We have a long list of select local printers. Our staff will help you choose the ones that are right for you.

Invitations with pockets are hot. At Paper Depot we have die cutting machines that cut pocket shapes for free. With two dozen pocket shapes from which to choose and 75 card stock options in each we have the largest selection available anywhere. The best part is the cost. Our selling price runs about 1/3 of the prices you see online. Why so much less? You only pay for the paper from which your pocket folder is cut. In addition to our pocket folders we have several hundred other die cut shapes from which to choose including alphabets, wedding favors, program fans, and a large array of scrapbooking shapes.

Our work room is well equipped with the tools you need. There are die cutting machines to cut shapes like pocket invitations, paper cutters, scoring tools, perforators and most of the other tools you will need. Remember, our work room is free for our customers use on papers purchased at Paper Depot. While you are in our workroom we are always available to answer questions and to help you with your project. Many brides bring a few friends in and finish the whole project in a few hours, but we suggest you leave the wine at home until after the job is finished.
