| - I went in to Paper Joy this past week and I have to say it was the worst experience in my life. I'm not sure if the owner saw us pull up in a beat up truck and me walk in with my mom and neice and nephew, and assumed we were poor and I was un-wed with two kids!! Or if she is just this rude to everyone. I walked into the small cramped space and was ignored, so I started looking around. She has a few examples of invitations on her back wall, so I started to look at those, I was not impressed. I finally went over to her desk and she finanlly asked if we needed help. I told her I just got engaged and wanted to see some examples of invitations and save the dates, and she told me I had to make an appointment. There wasn't anyone in the store, she was very rude, and I could tell she was passing judgment on us. She must not have seen the rock on my finger! Sure my parent's don't have a lot of money, hence the beat up truck we pulled into the parking lot in. But my paren't aren't paying for my wedding. My fiance and myself are, we are getting married at the Waldorf Astoria in Chicago (I was visiting family in AZ and wanted to involve my Mom in some of the planning). If she wasn't so judgemental and allowed us to look through some examples we may have used her, all though I wasn't impressed with the few examples she did have on her wall! She has no idea what my budget was and if she did know I'm sure she would have treated us better, but to be honest I wouldn't want to give someone like that my buisness. Make sure you make an appointment before stopping in this place, and make sure you are dressed to the nines so she doesn't think your money is worthless in her store. BTW - her webiste says appointments are preferred, not necessary! No thanks!
