Where can I physically buy invites in the PDX area?

Hi, I am hoping someone can recommend a place to physically view and purchase invites in the Portland metro area.

I went down the path of buying them online, and was really uncomfortable with the process - mostly because I elected to customize ours somewhat but wouldn't be able to see the colors, etc., until the vendor sent a proof. I would feel much better being able to shop in person, select something I can see and feel, and be sure I understand and can talk through all that I am ordering.

Thanks in advance for any advice, ladies!

    You can buy cardstock at Michaels or Joanns and use a coupon to save 40-50% then print them yourself on your computer

    Paper Source at Bridgeport Village or on NW 23rd. 

    You can see a physical sample in store before ordering. 

    If you are going the DIY route they have classes you can take and also samples of DIY invites.

    Excellent - thanks to you both! I have heard of Paper Source since posting this and will definitely be checking it out! I love the Michael's idea but sadly I am not much of a DIY bride. If I had the time to design my own invites, I totally would!

    I had a Hawaii destination wedding last summer, and I was nervous about the same thing.  I ended up having a graphic designer make my design and email me the PDF through etsy.  I then printed through Vistaprint (though you could do any print shop, costco, etc.)  It saved me a ton, and I felt like it was more custom this way.  You may want to try it.

    Here's an example of a cute Portland-based site that has some designs:
