Pinterest-Worthy & Affordable Paper Party Goods by PaperlyPress

#midwestfreetime

Paperly was born about 6 months after I became a NYC-transplant smack dab in the center of IL.

My fiancé and I had known each other for about 8 years, have been dating for over 4, engaged for almost 1.5, and it was about time to put the end to the long-distance-game. The tearful airport goodbyes and sad slump after seeing each other for 36 hours at a time (that we appropriately dubbed, "The Sads") was getting a bit old.

When I was little, I would plop down on the kitchen floor with magazines, blank paper, and adhesive of some sort, and make endless amounts of collages. I was always doing something artsy, and always knew that I wanted that to be a part of my life. In grad school, one design professor told me that I needed to stop being an artist and start being a designer (interesting, right?).

Fast forward a few years later, and having found an incredible job, I was living on my own in NYC. It was great, but I never found myself with enough time to do anything particularly artsy. Commuting 2 hours a day was taking its toll, and with some chronic health problems to contend with, I found that by the time the evenings or weekends came around, all I wanted/needed to do was sleep, binge watch Orange is the New Black, and occasionally eat pizza.

I still do a lot of those last 3 things, but I now work remotely in IL, for my job in NYC, which has been the biggest blessing that I'm so incredibly grateful for. It has given me the time to expand my artsy-ness beyond sleeping, Netflix, and pizza.

All of that being said - Paperly's goal is two-fold. First and foremost, we look to provide customers with extremely customizable, high-quality, paper party goods. We want to help add meticulous details to your party, without adding stress to your planning. We are true believers in the fact that everything really is in the details, and we love helping you add those to any celebration - no matter how big or small.

Second, by starting Paperly, we get to exercise our artsy bones, and hand-make each and every product. There's something fabulously satisfying about starting out with an idea and a sheet of paper, drawing something up in Illustrator, making a tangible object, and then being able to see it as a part of someone's special day; and hopefully helping things sparkle a bit brighter.

Thank you so much for stopping by, and feel free to shoot us a note if you have any questions. Don't hesitate to request a custom request if you don't see something that you're looking for, or if you have a specific idea that you'd like to see come to life. :)
