Grand Papery & Gifts Great place to go when you are giving a party and want that special touch. I came one time and ordered name cards for the tables. You are given a pretty good selection to choose from and the price was reasonable. It only took about a week for me to get my name cards. I also like to come here for gift wrapping paper and cards.

Wonderful store.... – With an owner who knows her stuff, is very bright, and won't waste your time. The holiday postcards that she did for my firm were first rate! As someone who operates a business, I appreciate being able to get what I need, when I need it, right the first time! While there is certainly lots of stuff displayed, I find it quite enjoyable to peruse the aisles and see what assundry items are available. There always seems to be some really cool new "thing" in the store every time I visit. I highly recommend Th... read more

Great service - excellent creative talent – Having recently read the reviews, after shopping at the GP, I was somewhat dismayed. My assumption is that the few authors have an axe to grind or want more service than a small store owner generally can give. My experience was quite the opposite. I had in mind the invitations I wanted. The owner, giving me access to multiple invitation books (more than I've found in the PDX area), gave me time and direction to come up with an invitation I wanted, without the pressure to upsell. He... read more

Abrasive owner and cluttered – The Grand Papery has a wonderful idea of customizing invitations, however in my opinion the store is way too cluttered! They should simply stick to what their name states-paper. The entire store is cluttered with so many other things that it is hard to find anything of interest. There are things on the floor because the shelves are too packed. It seems she is copying what the other stores provide, trying to compete. She needs to stick with the invitations, wrapping paper, and cards. Also when I... read more

The Grand Papery and Gifts – This store is awesome! The owner is an inspired buyer, and a former high powered marketing executive from San Francisco. She has a great eye for design and will help her customers create invitations which people will talk about and remember for years! She designed an invitation to a big wine country party for me and people tell me they saved the card because they loved it so much and it's been nine months since the party! Plus there are wonderful gifts for everyone. And cards. Purses. Jewelry. gi... read more

HORRIBLE Customer Service - Owner – I went in to order some invitations. The owner was such a disgrace re her customer service that I walked out. She made me feel like I was completely wasting her time (I was only there for half an hour going through books - not that long). When ordering invitations (especially spending $400+), I wanted to make sure the invites were perfect and what I wanted (look, price, etc.). So, the owner showed me about five options. When I asked to recap a price on a previous one she showed me, she "gr... read more

Great merchandise; poor customer service – I too have had wonderful shopping experiences at the Grand Papery. I had my wedding invitations done there and they turned out great. But the owner is pretty abrasive and, in my opinion, rude. I have continued to shop there because it's down the street from my house and the items they sell are unique, fun and charming. But the customer service is a turn off.
