what we do
We are a full-service stationery studio and gift boutique catering to the city of Philadelphia, and beyond, for 15 years. Our mission is to effortlessly blend timeless design, classic printing methods, and hand-crafted, high-quality materials with current trends in mind. Carolyn and her supportive team of designers pride themselves on creating one-of-a-kind-invitations that truly reflect their clients’ visions and set the tone of their special event. The Papery of Philadelphia’s invitations are personalized for each and every client, with the goal to make the process fun and exciting, from the first luxurious envelope that arrives at each guests’ door, to the favors on the day of your special event.
