Oh, snail mail. Poor United States Postal System; these days, mail is all about catalogs, circulars and bills, with the occasional postcard. The art of letter writing has been replaced by email and g-chat and texting and the iPhone. We imagine, then, that a big fat package containing a very special wedding invitation makes the average mailman (and mail-woman!) happy.

That’s why the stationery suite—which includes physical paper things like thank-you cards, the invitation and the menu—is a welcome throwback to the days of Emily Post, when such things were not only proper, they were necessary. And in Chicago, the ultimate outpost for such old-fashioned goods is Elizabeth Grace’s Paperie, a land of goodness where letter-pressed cardstock flows with abundance, and proprietress/designer Laura Manteuffel ensures that all wedding stationery available is pretty, well-designed and has clever typographical treatments. In other words, you won’t be finding any comic sans at Elizabeth Grace; just more than 30 of the finest lines of stationery in the world—and that doesn’t even include Laura’s custom line. So drop by and spend some time perusing the collections, or brainstorm with Laura on a sophisticated custom design. Either way, you’re guaranteed to find something that’s totally you.

“Laura: Wow, you are an absolute Godsend!  We cannot tell you how absolutely impressed we were with not only how beautiful the invites and save-the-dates turned out, but how you tackled our guest list.  We thank you for all of your hard work and patience.  We had so many compliments on everything and have absolutely raved about you and all that you did, especially our last minute welcome letters.  You are amazing and a true talent.  We look forward to working with you on all our future events. Thank you for making the entire experience a pleasurable one.  All our thanks and then some.” read more
