She was so receptive to our ideas, while also making suggestions to elevate our vision. We could not have asked for better stationary. In my dad's words, "best wedding invites EVER!" And we completely agree. We also loved how our day-of-stationary matched our invite suite, making everything feel so cohesive and upscale. Everything Epitome Papers delivered was incredibly beautiful. We would recommend a billion times!!

Liz and Maggie were ultra-responsive, very easy to work with, and we were incredibly happy with the final results! They were quick to respond to feedback, and the final designs they created were stunning. They even helped connect us with a local artist to create a custom monogram for our wedding, and then used elements of that monogram throughout our stationary to really make the final items stand out and feel unique. I'd highly recommend Paper Rock Scissor if you're considering a high-end stationary vendor for your wedding, or any other important purpose. We have no regrets at all with the choice we made.

I can't say enough good things about Paper Rock Scissor. We used them for our wedding save the…read moredates, invites, and day-of paper, and at every turn they blew us away. I oddly cared a lot about the stationary for our wedding (yet had no idea what I wanted, really), so asking a complete stranger to create something awesome for us was a bit of a leap of faith. However, I had a great feeling about the entire staff, and couldn't have made a better choice. They were so responsive and helpful and created a stunning final product that got us tons of props from our guests. We got married in Mexico, and the theme completely captured our theme, even though I only had a few incoherent thoughts to provide them about the "theme" of the wedding (Frida Kahlo, surfing, Mexico). My now husband also provided some incoherent thoughts (thick paper, no bows), and they managed to please both of us. Working with PRS was the highlight of our wedding planning experience, and I'd recommend them to anyone.

The process with megan is mind blowing as she coached me through the process of each, especially with developing a logo and branding pieces, something so sensitive and dear to my heart. I felt that she handled my brand as if it were her own. Her designs speak for themselves if you look at her portfolio http://maemaepaperie.com/ so i feel like it would be silly to go on about how inspired and original her work is but it is absolutely stunning. Megan is so great because her service stands up to her designs. During my logo process it was a struggle for me to discern how i felt I wanted my business to be represented. Through my indecisiveness, Megan walked me through the process and guided me on ways I can better portray my vision which ended in a difficult decision on my part because I loved each piece she offered so much. For my wedding invites we chose a collection suite plus a custom address stamp which was so unbelievably painless. She handled the printing as well. Everything was delivered in a timely manner and she gave great recommendations for envelopes & packaging. And the design was pretty awesome on top of the ease. Her passion gets me so excited about the pieces I order, the way my goods came delivered... So adorable! makes you feel valued and you never feel that she's too busy for you... even though I'm sure she is :) I work in the event industry and MaeMae Paperie is my first stationary & paper goods recommendation. She's simply outstanding.

I used MMP for my company's 70th anniversary invitations. Being that this was an auspicious…read moreoccasion for our company we wanted to make sure that we presented it to all of our invitees that way. We were not disappointed. The quality of the invitations were amazing. We used a VERY hefty paper to convey the value of these invitations and the party. Since the party was on the Queen Mary, there was a 1940's cruise line theme. The RSVP cards were even cut to represent a cruise ticket. In addition to the actual invitations we also purchased the design elements so that we could use them for internal marketing. When my graphic designer and ad agency got their invitations they were both impressed at the quality that we received. Mae Mae is a must for any event that you want to convey a sense of importance.

The staff were friendly and welcoming, and asked about what bookstores I've traveled to so far. The store is very close the Bde Maka Ska lake, and would make a great stop if on a bike ride around the Minneapolis lakes. Today, I drove and didn't have a problem finding parking on the street. The bookstore specializes in Native American voices and handmade arts. The interior of the store is really interesting to look at; there's a handmade canoe hanging from the ceiling and lots of handmade crafts throughout the store. I think Louise Erdrich, who is an author I enjoy, owns the store.
