This print shop is a god send for creative designers. She has such an amazing collection of papers and envelopes and letterpress printers to make designs that really stand out. She deals with mostly invitations and personal stationery herself, but for me, my designs for gift certificates and special promo items for my business clients could never be made by anyone else. Prices are great, communication is fast and detailed and the options this shop allows for me as a designer is outstanding. My favorite vendor for years now - I'll follow you to Langley or anywhere else you go! read more

This is where you want to buy paper! Beautiful quality, no tacky scrap-book stuff, all 8X11 sizes for easy printing AND so many great envelopes. They make their own pockets and folding cards which are like envelopments but better (and cheaper) and they have more envelope mixing and matching options too. Make sure you order well in advance if you need a volume of something for your wedding as many things are made to order. I also like the vibe here, they definitely aren't an in-your-face tulle filled wedding store. (Low gag-factor). read more

Paper Poet continues to amaze me. It's my favourite place to get supplies for stamping and making homemade cards and other papercrafts, because they not only carry all a great array of papers, stamps, inks and other supplies, but the owner, Tonya, is so nice and really knows her stuff. It makes a big difference for example, to know if you're planning to make a Christmas card featuring a big starry sky, which embossing powder will make the shiniest gold stars. I also love that the staff make such creative samples to show what you can do with paper (or perhaps boxes) and ink if you've got a little time to spare. The holiday displays are always great, and even when the store has been busy, they have helped me find the right materials for the project and have shared many a helpful technique. And... it's not all cheesy like the big chain store. You know the one. No aisles of fake flowers or fluorescent light at Paper Poet. Just beautiful paper and possibilities. read more

Years later and I am still frequently visiting here. So much selection, and the owner is always so helpful with even aesthetic choices and ideas. They always have something great in the sale section! I really appreciate how they always seal up my papers/cards/envelopes etc in plastic before bagging them just in case it inevitably rains :) read more

I really love this space. I don't make my own cards or anything, but it totally makes me want to. Also, their selection of stationary makes me want to write novels to friends and send in my yelp reviews on beautiful stock. read more

Great variety of paper products/stationary/wedding invites. We purchased our invites at Paper Poet, would go back because they are local. Only gave a 3 star rating instead of 4 which could easily be earned if they accepted American Express and were a little friendlier to their customers. read more

Cute little stationary shop with stamps, papers, cards etc. I couldn't stay long in the store as there was an odd smell, however, the items were of quality and ranged from fun to sophisticated. I find it ironic that the store is called "Paper Poet" in a world that is so computerized and social network orientated. Am I the only one whom writes hand written letters and sends them in the mail? read more

Bad service! You need to double & triple check your order because most likely they will get it wrong. The packed envelopes are short even if says 50, be sure to open & count the pieces or else you'll be sorry you didn't. The manager will deny your claim. She is Never wrong and doesn't apologize! If only we're not pressed for time, we wouldn't have ordered from them! read more

If you want a wide array of cardstock colours to choose from, then this is the store, from metallic paper, to vellum to ordinary matte, but it wasn't the paper that caught my attention. Paper Poet has an amazing array of bulk items to choose from. Tags to flowers to metal ephemera, and I love that I can pick and choose just the right pieces and not get stuck with a package of bits I don't really need! Their Book binding classes are fantastic, and I can't wait to take more! This isn't a Scrapbooking store or an Invitation shoppe, it's an Emporium of Inspiration for creativity on all levels! read more

If you're looking to buy paper at an overpriced cost go to Paper Poet. I ordered some paper tags to be used at my wedding this past summer. Unfortunately, we were not able to pick up the tags on the Saturday when they were ready and on Sunday, the shop was closed. So we weren't able to use them at my wedding. I tried to ask the owner if there was anyway I could return the tags but she refused and was not very understanding at all. I spent over $50 on paper that I couldn't use and it wasn't anything special. I basically paid extra for them to cut the tags for me. I really think that the owner could have offered me some discount or offered to keep the tags to sell at their shop. She kept insisting that she wouldn't be able to sell it again. But obviously she would have a higher chance of selling the tags at her Paper store than for me to find some use for it. I will not be back and I do not recommend this store. read more

I was very happy with the level of attentiveness and professionalism at Paper Poet. I purchased my wedding invitations here and had a tight budget as well as a short time line to get them in. Tonya helped me pick out a design and printed them all within 2 weeks! I had been told at other places that it typically takes 4-6 weeks. Thanks Paper Poet, you saved the day! read more

Wow. I went into this store just because of the name, curious. It's so beautiful. I often go into stores like this, get overwhelmed by my lack of creativity and leave. This time, I told the store clerk this. So glad I did! She showed me some really basic things for really creative cards and simple to make little photo book / journal thing. Yes, I'm going to make one!!! I'm hoping to give these little books as personalized gifts, wouldn't be expensive either, but very heartfelt. Hooked on this store. Can't wait to see what I am able to create. I have just started exploring New West, will be fun with Yelp's help! read more

This shop seems to be primarily focused on wedding invitation stuff, but I certainly like to browse around. Wish they had a little bit more in terms of books and journals (what paper addict doesn't love a nice new book) but overall I'm very glad they survive in downtown NW. read more

PAPER POET IS A RIPOFF! They quoted my printed wedding invitations at over $450. This was a shockingly high quote for such a small order. The same print order, on the exact same paper, cost only $75 at the Minuteman Press (Note: The invitations from Minuteman turned out amazing and they were ready within 24 hours). Not only are Paper Poet's services grossly overpriced but the sales lady very rude. I don't know why anyone would shop there? read more
