There's a write way and there's a wrong way
Your brain alights with the memory, upon seeing that New Year’s Eve snapshot of the two of you pinned by its corner on the fridge – her birthday is next week. Yes of course, it’s always right after Mardi Gras. How did it slip your mind? Knowing full well that the limp cards languishing in the big box store aisle just aren’t going to cut it, you scramble to your computer. You’ve got to to come up with something pretty darn great- it is her, after all. Gah, so many of them are generic city, and the idea of sending an e-card leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Oh, and don’t even get me started about the shipping situation.
Take a deep breath, sip on a chocolate milkshake, try to relax. You’ve found the Witty Gritty Paper Co, a mother/ daughter led team that just became your secret weapon for every important occasion. With over half a decade of experience in specialty printing and creative writing, we work every day to build you a one-stop-shop that’ll instantly put your name at the top of the “Most thoughtful friend!” list for years to come. With exclusive cards in every category, our speedy, 79 cent shipping on any single card order, easy-peasy Rush Shipping add-on, and especially our “Mail It For Me” service, you can think of us as your new personal stationery concierge.
No more last minute scrounging through the stack of free cards you got from that charity or sneezing on that grocery store card, trying to make up for its uninspired text by being plastered with glitter. You’ve found something better. Our designs have been featured in Buffalo Magazine, Stationery Trends, Buzzfeed, and The Huffington Post just to name a few. To date, Meredith has amassed a personal collection of over 1,500 greeting cards, so trust us, we know a good piece of snail mail when we see it. Ready to get writing?

Frequently asked questions
How long will my order take to get to me?
All orders ship out from our Buffalo, NY studio within 1-3 business days from the day they are placed. After that, depending on the selected shipping method you can expect them at your door after another 3-5 business days (for domestic orders) and 1-6 weeks (for International orders.)
Rest assured, we know that cards are often a time sensitive animal and we’ll work to get them to you as fast as possible every time.
What if I need my order faster?
We totally get it, sometimes last-minute is a way of life. If you need your order expedited, then all you have to do is add rush shipping to your order. You should see this option listed at checkout when you select your preferred shipping method. Please keep in mind that our 1-3 business day processing time still applies to orders with rush shipping added.
We always want to help, but we process orders in the sequence they are received, and it’s not fair to jump anyone to the head of the line.
Do you have shipping guarantees for the holidays?
Good question! We’re so glad you’re thinking proactively. For most major holidays we have a shipping cut-off date. Cut-off dates are usually in the shop announcement, or home page. We guarantee on-time delivery only if you order by our cut-off dates. If you order later we will do our best to get it to you, but no pinky promises! If you’re not sure wether your order can get to you in time, get in touch and we’ll personally walk you through your options.
Where & how are your products manufactured?
All of our cards are offset printed using 100% vegetable inks in Point Richmond, CA, USA. Our notepads are printed on recycled paper in New Mexico, and our pencils are painted, assembled and foil-stamped in Bishop, CA. All of our products are designed by us in Buffalo, NY.
Do you offer wholesale?
That's a hearty yes. We love working with indie retailers. Please visit the link below to get the ball rolling!

Can you customize a card for me?
Although we would love to create the perfect card for everyone’s specific needs, our cards are printed carefully in large batches, and therefore it’s not possible to change a design (even a little bit) to sell just once.
