All I have to say is...

Paper Source is overwhelming!

Todd and I have been to two of them so far in San Francisco, one - a tiny little slip of a shop like Ollivander's, crammed from floor to ceiling with brilliantly colored papers of every texture, weight, and size imaginable, the other - a wide yawning expanse with little islands for each sort of invitation and printing type and DIY project.  I have to say, it kind of makes me want to crawl over to Papyrus, close my eyes, put a finger on an invitation, and be done with it.  Maybe there's a middle road - something like ordering invitations and response cards online or through Papyrus or another stationery chain, and then DIY-ing:
* the inserts that we'll send as a supplement to the Save-the-Date Disney is sending
* the rehearsal dinner invites which we'll put in the same envelope as the invitation/ response cards
* the ceremony programs
* the placecards
* the menus
* the important info inserts for the Out-Of-Town Bags, including the invites for the day-after wedding brunch

Gosh, there still seem to be an awful lot of reasons to make one (or three) afternoons entirely free, and spend them exploring Paper Source.  Perhaps it will cease to be overwhelming after a couple of hours? Sure hope so...
