I stopped in last week in the hopes of finding a great card shop. I just moved to Philadelphia and I am a snail mail correspondence junkie. I send A LOT of cards, thank you notes and invitations. The boxed card selection is good and the staff were pretty friendly. I wasn’t overly impressed with the selection of individual cards, but it seems like the store is a great find for custom stationery and invitations. I’ll be back!

I’m reviewing for off-​the-​shelf cards, not custom invitations. Agree w/​Alexis G’s post — similar to Papyrus (a so-​so store), but with an even more limited selection + cards that they do have are quite conservative. Nothing along the lines of Squibnocket or anything that’s truly unique or out-​there in terms of design. If you’re looking for traditional, Papyrus-​like, this may be your place. If you want more modern cards/​design, something funky, I’m not sure I’ve yet found that in Philly.

4.5 stars.
I wound up going here (I was also considering Papyrus strongly and a bunch of DIY online options) for my wedding invitations, custom maps, inserts and reception cards.
It cost a pretty penny when all was said and done — especially since most people throw the invitation away –but the service was, indeed, excellent. Sonia was terrific.
They have a huge selection and just opened a second location — with mostly retails cards and gifts in the Comcast Center.

Where’s the cards & stationery subcategory?
This place is really similar to Papyrus. Lots of customizing stuff, it seemed — invitations, business stationary, that kind of thing. I am cards-​obsessed and came here looking for cute/​funny thank you cards, birthday cards, etc. They have a somewhat decent selection (for whatever reason I’m anti-​Hallmark, so. options are limited) but I’m still looking for the ultimate Philadelphia card shop. If anyone has seen Squibnocket cards on the shelves anywhere around here, clue a girl in…
Anyway, if you want Cranes, Vera Wang, Kate Spade, all of the other various «high-​end» stationery options, this is a great place to go. They had a bunch of stuff on sale while I was there and a lot of it was supercute.
