    Such a fun store to step in and browse in! Lovely stationery and paper supplies, novelty gifts and trinkets. The go-to place for special occasion cards and unique presents. Customized invitations and other paper goods can be ordered here and the staff is always super friendly and helpful. For parents: host a craft party here!

    Unfortunately, my sense of humor has evolved very little since middle school thus prompting me to purchase Doo Keys. What exactly are Doo Keys, you ask? Crap. No seriously, they are. Doo Keys are colorful, little key toppers with fun, cute faces. Only, they're poop. Well disguised, turds. I topped off one of my keys with one that has stylish little glasses and asked my girlfriend what she thought it was. Her first guess? A cupcake. Which is what I think I'll start using as a euphemism for poo. I really only came into Paper Source to buy a card for a friend and I left with Doo Keys. Which is exactly the kind of thing that happens when you come here. You acquire little knick knack odds and ends that you don't really need, but you want anyway. Paper Source is also great for you crafty folk that like to create your own invitations and cut and paste until your heart is content. Do go ahead, grab your Doo Keys, paper and have a poopy party!

    Plenty of stuff

    Great place for invitations and gifts. Very busy on a weekend but the staff was very helpful and had suggestion on many different items. Always nice to have a place for special invitations and unique gifts.

    This location of Paper Source is in the heart of Bethesda Row and has very friendly staff. They also offer a variety of classes for kids, families, or the interested artist.

    Paper Source is where paper becomes more than just something you write on. Ya like paper? How about Fred™ items? That's right, those quirky, fun items you only find in interesting stores? Paper Source is your source. Nestled in the heart of Bethesda, Paper Source is a treat for anyone interested in either niche items, paper, or mustaches. There is literally a full section of mustache related items. Mustache mugs, mustache molds, mustache push pins, mustache erasers, YOU NAME IT. It specialized in paper, customized stationary, and things of that nature, but also is a fantastic place to browse around and check out their extremely unique selection of completely random items. I bought some record coasters here. Does that have anything to do with paper? No, but the store is so cool that don't matter. It's a source of off-beat items. There is no beat. Or if there is one, it is just completely off of it. It's simply a goldmine of unique gifts. There is not one occasion this place wouldn't satisfy. Birthday? Christmas? Ramadan? Boxing Day? Your gift is here. You only live once, so shop at Paper Source and buy the little things that bright up a day. You can make someone very happy here.

    Gorgeous wrapping paper, huge selection of charming cards, and my absolute fav Kate Spade stationery

    See all

    I had a pretty positive experience here while ordering wedding inviting cards. They are completely…read moreturnkey and they handled the entire process from design to printing and delivery. I was surprised to see how many options that they had. We chose 150 custom designed invititation cards, and it took them less than ten days to complete everything. I was helped by Kate and she was extremely knowledgeable about the entire process. What's cool about this store is that they even have wonderful gift items for nearly every occasion. Their prices are reasonable and I enjoyed doing business with them.

    This is the only review I've ever done on yelp. But in this case I felt like my extremely negative…read moreexperience warranted one. If I could give zero stars I would. I did my wedding invitations through Write for You. They were beyond unprofessional throughout the entire experience. While I had issues with the company for our 6-month interaction, here are the three most egregious interactions: 1. For an 8-week period of time a few months before my wedding, I was unable to get ahold of anyone at the shop. I emailed and called many times. I only heard back after leaving a final message asking if the business was still open and if I'd need to find another vendor. 2. Two months out from my wedding, I received notification that my invitations had arrived. On the same day, I received an invoice that included a $300 charge above my quote. This wasn't the first out-of-the-blue charge that had occurred in my interactions with Write for You. The owner told me this charge was for "ribbons and labor" and thus would not remove it. I was not previously notified of this charge and said I would only pay for what I was quoted. We went back and forth and the interaction eventually ended with: the owner yelling over the phone, the owner telling me she couldn't believe I was arguing over $300 because it's only $300, and the owner threatening to withhold the invitations. She also notified me that both she and her husband were lawyers. I ended up paying the extra amount because I needed the invitations (a fact she certainly knew). 3. Finally, after all of that, there was a typo on the invitations. Not only did Write for You refuse to reprint the invitations or refund me for any of the cost, but I couldn't even get someone to respond to my emails and calls. Presumably because I'd already paid. I don't think I can convey in a review what a terrible and exasperating experience this was the entire time. But I hope to convey to anyone thinking of using Write for You - avoid, avoid, avoid!
