5 out of 5 starsI purchased this matching enclosure card for our invitations to provide guests with the Accomodations for our wedding. It was the perfect size and was beautifully paired with our invitations and RSVP cards. Highly recommend!

5 out of 5 starsVery nice. Pink was a bit more bright than blush. But it will do. The imprint on the flap definitely makes up for the color.

About PenelopesPaperPantry
Penelope's Paper Pantry Story
Greetings!
Penelope’s Paper Pantry is so blessed and grateful to be a part of Etsy and the Etsy Community.
September 30th, 2019 marks the fifth year Penelope’s Paper Pantry began its Etsy journey.
What a life changing experience it has been. The shop began with six Christmas Family Photo cards and now features over 2000 designs specializing in four celebration categories: Wedding, Graduation, Baby and Christmas Photo cards.
The shop began when my daughter Chelsea was planning her wedding. She and now husband Noah (you may notice their names on many of the invitations) took me to a high end wedding stationery shop in San Francisco. The shop was small but featured binder upon binder from ceiling to floor of every wedding invitation designer imaginable. The pricing was high end and out of our budget. After reviewing the designs and paper along with having access to a printer and a lot of encouragement from my daughter Penelope’s Paper Pantry was created.
Penelope’s is named after my mother who inspired creativity in all of her seven children and now in her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
In the beginning there were two designers, who still remain on staff, they worked tirelessly along side me and I am so blessed they are still part of the team. The original design studio was the size of a utility closet and did not have any windows. There were days we would spend close to 12 hours working in that cozy little space. As the business grew two things were readily apparent, we needed more space and additional staff. And as only God can do, he provided additional staff and a larger place to work at just the right time. Penelope’s moved into a one bedroom apartment with lots of windows. It was just perfect.
The new location served us well for the next two years. The team grew and so did the business. We had a better understanding of our target customer, our offerings and seasonal shifts in business. It was very exciting! Every time we needed someone or something to continue to develop and grow the business God made a way.
Our most recent move was over a year ago to a professional studio and office. The new space has made it possible for design, production and packaging to all be under one roof. This arrangement has improved communication between the three teams and enhances quality control and productivity resulting in a very fast turn around time on orders.
The most important part of this experience has been our customers. People that took a leap of faith on our products and services when we were just starting out. It has been my longstanding philosophy that “if we listen to our customers we will never fail”. I still stand by that philosophy. Our customers have been amazing and have taught us so many things. Our designs, shop process and customer service initiatives have all been customer inspired. The goal we have for each customer is that you love the end result and that you have a positive experience shopping on Etsy.
Thank you to God, Etsy, the Etsy Community and the amazing customers that have made Penelope’s Paper Pantry survive and thrive over the past five years. We look forward to being your stationery partner for many more years to come.

If you prefer to cancel and a customized digital proof has NOT been sent you will receive a full refund.
