Frequently asked questions

Where are you located?

2301 West Market Street, Pilgrim Square, Akron, Ohio. Walk-ins are welcome. If you have a larger project, we recommend scheduling a consultation so we can give you our full attention.

What is your return policy?

Because almost everything we make is custom, we are not able to accept returns on custom orders. We take great care with our proofing process to make sure you are completely happy before we go to print. For non-custom items, please see our Shipping and Returns page for details.

Can you do business stationery and client gifts?

Yes. We work with local businesses on branded cards, custom notes, client appreciation mailings, and more. If you want to send forty clients something that does not look like what everyone else sent them, we would love to talk.

What kinds of gifts do you carry?

Our gift selection is curated for people who want to give something that was thought about. We carry items well-suited for weddings, celebrations, and any occasion where a generic gift basket will not do. The full product collection is available online and in our Akron studio.

Do you work with wedding planners?

Yes, and we love it. If you are a planner bringing us clients, we are happy to discuss how we work together. Email us at hello@papermillstudio.com.

Do you ship outside of Ohio?

Yes. We now ship anywhere in the United States. For 45 years we served Northeast Ohio exclusively. We are glad to finally bring our work to couples and clients across the country.

How far in advance should I order my wedding invitations?

We recommend reaching out at least four to six months before you need invitations in hand. A full custom suite typically takes six to twelve weeks from consultation to delivery. If your timeline is tighter, contact us anyway — we will tell you honestly what is possible.

Can I see samples before I commit?

Yes. We offer paper and printing samples so you can feel the difference before you decide. We have been doing this long enough to know that paper is not something you can fully judge on a screen.

Do you do rush orders?

Sometimes. It depends on what you need and what we have in production. Reach out and tell us your deadline. We will not take a rush order we cannot deliver well.

What if I do not know what I want?

That is completely fine. We have worked with brides who arrived with six years of saved Pinterest images and no idea how to make them work together. We have worked with business owners who just knew they wanted something different. The consultation is exactly for this. Bring what you have and we will help you find the direction.

What Our Clients Are Saying

★★★★★

I had such a great experience working with Erin at the Paper Mill Studio for my wedding invitations. The store has a variety of examples to look at, and Erin's dedication to making sure our vision came to life was truly exceptional. After hearing my thoughts and showing her pictures of different things I liked, she showed me some examples, offered valuable opinions based on her experience, and remained incredibly receptive to our preferences and changes, all while keeping us on schedule. The result was stunning wedding invitations that perfectly captured our style. I highly recommend the Paper Mill Studio and Erin for her outstanding service and creative expertise—it made this part of our wedding preparations easy and enjoyable!

Elle Paper Mill Studio is a beautiful stationery shop that carries unusual and distinctive gifts, cards, stationery, and stationery accessories. This new location is convenient with ample parking and an easily accessible entrance space. Erin and Sue go out of their way to be helpful. This is the finest shop in town to order wedding invitations, birth announcements, business cards, and party invitations. I ordered elegant, personalized stationery that arrived only a couple of days after I placed my order.

We stumbled upon Paper Mill while visiting its neighbor West Side Bakery. They have beautiful leather journals with replaceable inserts, stationary, cards, gifts, and the BEST home fragrances (especially around the holidays). Staff is kind and helpful. Love the store pup which greets you when entering.

Erin created my mother's invitations and matching thank you notes for her 75th birthday celebration and they were exquisitely done! My other embodies simple elegance and we (my sister and I) wanted her invitations to reflect that as well. Erin was able to capture our requests spot on with only one revision request! If you are looking for professional invitations for your event, look no further Paper Mill Studio is the place to order from. You will receive excellent customer, professional, on-time service!

Erin was so much fun to work with! My fiance and I went for a consultation to purchase our wedding invitations and we didn't quite know what we were looking for. As we were looking through the books, we decided to go with something a little different that was more meaningful to us. Erin went with it and created three beautiful designs for us to choose from. We had difficulty choosing because they were all so unique! She is very creative and provides exceptional customer service. I would highly recommend booking an appointment today!

Erin does absolutely fantastic work. She did my daughter's engagement party and wedding invites, and menu cards that were just such a special touch. She loves collaboration and was open to my daughter's design ideas. Thank you thank you Erin!!
