Sustainability is really important to us, and we were very conscious of how unsustainable weddings can be — so we were thrilled when we came across Paper Culture! Many other paper ...
companies offer “sustainable” options for their invitations, but these sometimes felt like greenwashing, or else were very expensive. Paper Culture has a sustainability focus across the board: All cards and envelopes are printed on recycled paper, they offset their entire carbon footprint, and they plant a tree with every order. On top of that, they are super affordable and offer additional conveniences like printing return and recipient addresses. And while they had a great selection of designs, we loved too that we could upload our own. Their customer service was helpful every step of the way as well. We had a lot of questions as we went, and they were easy to reach and very helpful and patient. The quality was great as well! We will definitely be using Paper Culture for holiday cards in the future, and highly recommend them for beautiful, sustainable, and affordable wedding invitations.
Frequent sales, prices include envelopes (and most options have free addressing available), super easy to edit, and we had a great experience making edits with their free design as...
sistance. Other places feel like a scam compared to these prices! I’ve used paper culture for my Christmas cards for years, and I’m so glad I found them! Used paper culture for both save the dates and invites!
Used them for our wedding invitations! They look stunning and I can't wait for all of our guests to see them!
I have used Paper Culture for our wedding invitation suite, as well as our holidays cards for the past 3 years. Their price can just not be beat for their offerings (upgraded paper...
, free design on the back, free address printing, etc). The only reason I am still doing snail mail cards instead of digital is because theirs are eco-friendly. This year, USPS accidentally dropped our holiday cards off at the wrong house, so they were lost. Paper Culture support responded promptly and reprinted and shipped free of charge. I was super impressed and will be a repeat customer!
When looking for an eco-friendly company for our wedding invites we found paper culture. We were able to design our custom invitation through them and loved the outcome! The printi...
ng quality was good and we liked the flexibility of their custom design tool. However, after confirming with their customer service team that all orders come with envelopes (because there's no option to buy them separately) ours came in without them. We had to go to another store to get envelopes on time and the sizing was odd. Other than that we had a great experience!
We used Paper Culture for our save-the-date invitations and for a portion of our wedding invitations. The selection of paper, pricing, ability to custom design and helpful customer...
service made the greatest difference. We love the company's philosophy too - dedicated to replacing what you use with the tree dedication.
EVERYONE should use Paper Culture for their wedding invitations. I was so impressed with the easy process and their customer service along the way. They were able to combine a few ...
different invitation designs into one in order to customize the invite the way I wanted it. And I was totally not expecting them to give me a discount when I had to re-print the invites with my new wedding date (postponed due to COVID) and they did! They also surprised me by covering the priority shipping. Not to mention the invites are beautiful and environmentally friendly!!
We used paper culture for our wedding save the dates. We specifically chose them because we wanted to prioritize using recycled paper. The cards themselves turned out beautifully--...
high quality printing, and just as we designed them online. The online design process is tedious if you want any variation from the template; we had to email back and forth with one of their designers to describe the changes we wanted. The designer was friendly and accommodating with a very fast turnaround time, and we ultimately were able to get the design we envisioned; however, it required several back-and-forth emails with the designer, even though our changes were minimal (different font size and spacing than the template)--because of the way the design system is set up with paper culture, you have to type out your changes, which can be tedious and hard to convey accurately when talking about layout and design.
Our main complaint with the final product is that the envelopes did not seal well. We were unable to seal them with water and had to lick each one (which is obviously an inconvenience with over 100 envelopes). We also heard from several recipients that the envelopes were unsealed by the time they arrived in the mail.
Paper culture is a great option if you want to prioritize environmental sustainability, and if your order does not vary much from their template. Plan to use tape or stickers to seal their envelopes securely.
I ordered return address labels and although the order arrived in a timely manner the labels were not as expected. The labels are printed on a sheet of labels and the width of th...
e label is too long and there is too much blank space on the label. These labels should have been printed on a smaller size label. I will not be able to use these labels and will be ordering from another vendor.

We knew that a fully custom wedding suite was not something we wanted to invest in, but we still wanted something gorgeous and sustainable and Paper Culture delivered in both ways....
They have super luxurious papers and envelopes and the print quality is beautiful. The address book is incredibly easy to use, and they shipped to us super quickly. We'd highly recommend them whether you are looking for something simple and luxurious or super custom and deluxe.
Paper culture is one of the most unique card companies out there. I initially chose them due to their mission of using 100% post consumer recycled paper for their products. Once I ...
started working with them to help design a custom wedding card with my own artwork, I was even more impressed at their responsiveness and dedication to help me get my invitations completed. I must have interacted with at least 5-6 employees through email and phone over a two month process, and all of them were extremely patient and kind. They helped me use my own watercolor paintings to design invitations and RSVP cards. I liked them so much, that we went with them again with our holiday cards! I highly recommend using Paper Culture for any stationary needs!
I loved using this company for our invitations! They turned out so beautiful and clean. It makes it even better that they are eco friendly! Currently ordering holiday cards and the...

Paper Culture is AMAZING and I'm thrilled I found them. I had wanted somewhat custom invitations for my wedding and their free designer assistance was perfect! And it's no extra co...
st! Communication was incredibly fast with their team and I was able to make a few small changes to one of their templates to customize my invitation perfectly! (We got married at the museum of science in our city and I sent them a dinosaur icon to include on the invitation!) Cost was insanely reasonable considering the customization, and address printing on the invitations was included, too! This saved us so much time and made the invitations look really professional. The only thing I will note is that you have to pay for a physical proof to be mailed to you first before ordering a batch by ordering 1 or 2 copies. I did not mind this, though. Additionally, I had been wanting to incorporate as many sustainable features into our wedding as possible and the fact that everything is printed on post-consumer paper and a tree is planted for every order is outstanding. You can tell by reading their website that Paper Culture is really conscientious of the environment and doesn't just use "eco-friendly" as a marketing ploy. After my flawless interaction with paper culture for my wedding invitations I decided to use them for other paper-related items for our wedding as well as our Christmas cards this year. I truly cannot say enough good things about this company. I hope they continue to thrive! Thank you, paper culture!
We loved Paper Culture! We used them for both our menus and invitations. We used the DIY option for both, and their customer service was excellent. A few days before the wedding, I...
realized the menus never arrived. After further research, I realized it was because I NEVER ORDERED THEM! I emailed them to verify, and rather than responding via email, they called me and explained to me the options. They sent them straight to the hotel, and it all went off without a hitch! Plus with the each order, they plant a tree which is awesome!
Stunning, eco-friendly invitations I could not be more happy with. I opted for their DIY option to paint my own design for my wedding invitations. I then used their "Fortune favors...
the Bold" suite for the wedding programs, menus, and name place cards. Their graphic designers are speedy, responsive, and very good at making tweaks/suggestions to give you the best looking product. They were able to incorporate my wedding colors for the day-of suite. Love the feel of the invitations, printed and arrived in a timely fashion. Reasonable pricing for the quality of product.

I ordered our Save the Dates through Paper Culture, and am disappointed with what I received.
I chose a very simple black & white design, with one photo on the front and three o...
n the back. The quality of the printing was not great - the photos appeared to have a green-ish tint to them and were pixelated. These photos were from our wedding photographer and very high quality (approximately 3.5-4 MB), so this shouldn't have been an issue.
In addition, I ordered envelopes with our printed return address on the envelope flap. Several of the flaps were wrinkled to the point that the printing of the return address was wrong.
We will not be going with this company for our invites, which is unfortunate because we believe in what they're doing by planting trees to offset the affects of paper printing. We just wish the quality was better.
Paper Culture was a total dream to work with! We had proofs of our invitations within 24 hours and the designers provided feedback based on the notes I sent and explanations on cha...

We got our save the dates and invites through Paper Culture and they both turned out perfectly. Within a week of ordering both they were shipped and in our hands. It was so quick. ...
Plus, they seem to always have a sale going on which made things so adorable.
If you are looking for unique, custom and affordable invitations, look no further! Paper culture was a dream come true for my wedding invitations. I loved one of the unique designs...
they offered but wanted it in a specific blue, the wording changed and a few other small details added. In 48 hours paper culture emailed me back a mock up of exactly what I had dreamed my wedding invitations would look like. The customer service was top notch and the delivery was fast and easy! I would highly recommend working with these talented people for your wedding invitations!
