I want to DIY my invites and have been to Paper Depot once to look around.Have any of you created your invites using the Paper Depot? Any reviews?I like the idea Paper Depot because they let you use their diecut machines. I think I want to make pocketfold and that would speed the process along. Any other paper stores I should check out that are similar to Paper Depot?Thanks ladies!

    I went to Paper Depot in the beginning then ended up at Anchor Paper in St Paul and that is where I will go back to. A full review is in my bio. Paper Depot was great, but the selection at Anchor is amazing, I mean they do supply Paper Depot with their paper so they have to have an even larger selection. Also, they have die cut machines and other things you can use there. We bought a Sizzix snowflake embossing thing and used their Sizzix embossing press instead of buying the whole thing we only spent $5 on the one plate (? is that what you would call them?).Anchor's work area was larger, and they also had examples and things to look thru and I am sure design help as well, we just didn't need that service so we didn't really ask. Maybe someone else has and can give insight as to that.

    I will def have to check out Anchor Paper then! Did you go to one of the Express retail stores? I tried to look for a website online and much of it just looks like a wholesale company rather than a place I could go make invites.

    I went to their retail store on University. I thought the same thing as you did after looking at their site. My FI recommended from the start but I didn't realize they had a retail store like that, I thought it was all wholesale.

    I got my paper and supplies from Paper Depot. I liked that they helped me come up with my design and let me use their machines to cut the paper.  I thought they had reasonable prices as well.  It gets crowded so the wait would be long some days.
