If you are looking for wedding invitations, go elsewhere. There are so many lovely options for wedding invitations throughout Milwaukee and online, Broadway Paper will only cause you stress. We chose to purchase our invitations through BPC because we were amazed by their personal touch, and they went through all their many options with us in person. However, shortly after we made the decision to order through them, the woman who had impressed us so much must have left, and was replaced by Amanda. Though we picked out the invitations 8 months before the wedding, Amanda assured us that we should wait another 2 months to order them and that they would arrive with plenty of time. However, three months before the wedding there was still no sign of the invitations. After many emails which went unanswered, we finally received our invitations with just over 2 months before the wedding. This meant we had to rush to stuff and stamp all the envelopes in order to send them out immediately. Amanda had stuffed all of the invitations herself without being asked, however this meant that we had to undo each one in order to place the stamp on the RSVP envelope, and wrap them in the ribbons that we had chosen. Furthermore, Amanda had incorrectly placed the order, and it was printed on different paper from what we had chosen. With so little time, there was no way to place a new order, so we had to go with the incorrect order. Nearly all of our 500-person guest list lived out of town, and so most of them received details of the wedding with very late notice, which also meant that we received RSVP cards quite late. Throughout the course of our work with BPC, Amanda was highly uncommunicative. We often had to email her multiple times or call the store to try to get an answer. She was not at all knowledgable about her products or the companies with which they work. As a busy bride-to-be, with many details to manage, you do not want the headache of working with this company.

Im not sure where to begin with how much I adored Kate and her staffs service at Broadway Paper for our wedding invitations and thank you cards. Kate helped guide us through the design selection process, offered advice when it came to etiquette and wording of our invites, helping us print and design our wedding ceremony programs, and all sorts of final printing details that were last minute to me. Kate involved us through all finalizations of the invitations, programs, and gave us realistic time frames as to when our printing jobs would be completed (which were always in a timely manner). We were also able to order letterpress invitations & thank you cards as part of our design. I shop at Broadway Paper quite frequently for their selection of stationary, gift wrap, cards, books, etc. I love the design aesthetic of the store, and I also love that Kate showcases local artists and their work. Not to mention, she is one cool lady to work with. I would completely recommend Broadway Paper to anybody who requires a beautiful selection of designs by local and national artisans, great service, and attention to detail when choosing wedding invitations, shower invites, or whatever you stationary needs are.

Truly horrible service, Broadway Paper! Truly! I came into the store with high hopes, and purchased two cards for a wedding and an engagement party later in the month. I asked about the return policy, since I knew that one may be returned if my friend did not want the card. I was told by staff that as long as I had the receipt, it would be fine. I came back a month later, after the engagement party, to return the unused card. Staff told me that was not possible, and said that what I was told previously was wrong. I asked to speak to the manger, as the card was overpriced, $10, and staff told me she was busy. I left my name and number to be called back. It has been four months, and I was never contacted. I always try to support local business, but the insolence of this company has deterred me from ever coming back. Truly horrible service, Broadway Paper! Truly!

Wow, a person actually wrote a public review saying the store and staff were not helpful in assisting the customer to illegally and unethically commit copyright infringement by copying and recreating a professional invitation designers work. Same customer tries to hold this great stationery store accountable because Kinkos does crappy printing. Unreal. Broadway Paper is a great shop with lots of beautiful and quality choices for reasonable prices. People who have completely unrealistic expectations of service and turnaround times for custom ordered items will never be happy.

A really cute selection of cards, paper, cards! Theres also a really good amount of small gifts for folks that are mostly local artists and stuff. This place is awesome for last minute gifts for friends. I nabbed some supplies for Valentines. My only complaint would be I wish they had a bigger printed design paper selection but other than that I experienced some awesome service.

This place is incredible. I always find something new here, and am always inspired to make something new after leaving. Staff is patient and knowledgable, and always ready to help. There is a similar paper store two blocks from my house, and I make the drive across town to go to Broadway Paper.

I am lazy, lets start there. I work in the third ward and whenever I have a gift that needs wrapping I walk over and always get them wrapped at Broadway Paper. They have an awesome selection of paper and cards and the staff is always very nice. I really dont know what I would do without them.

Before the change in ownership Broadway Paper had a much more extensive, unique selection in addition to a more expansive product line. The service was also incredible. The store is now just a fraction of what it used to be with a much scaled back inventory and average service.

The associates I worked with didnt seem all that knowledgeable when it came to the pricing of invitations. I was initially quoted a price, but when it came time to pick the invitations up, the pricing was way higher. A complete ripoff - I should have ordered online.

Every time I go to Broadway Paper they never have more than a couple dozen envelopes. I knew I should have just ordered online but I tried to keep my business local. After another wasted trip there I know better. I wish it was the same as it was ten years ago.

Inviting and fun. There is something for everyone here. Whether thats cards, knick knacks, journals, or notebooks; this stores got everything! Prices are a little high here but worth the visit for some custom and local vibes.

Nice clean store with a little bit of everything regarding paper from stationary to wrapping paper. This place has a friendly and inviting atmosphere. The prices are a bit on the high side though.
