Broadway Paper — Local services in Milwaukee

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...

I'm not sure where to begin with how much I adored Kate and her staff's 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...

My fiance and I went to Broadway Paper in February for a wedding suite consultation - we were so impressed with their selections and had a great experience with Kate that day. After the consultation, we had an email exchange in which we went back and forth a few times regarding details for our Save the Dates and then we were completely ghosted. My fiance and I both sent multiple emails with no response. Eventually I called the store so I could speak with someone in person (by this time we had to go another route for our Save the Dates). I spoke with someone at the store and left my phone number so I could get a call back, as we were still hoping to get our invitations through Broadway Paper. That was in April. I called again a few weeks ago...still no call back. By now we have realized we will not be able to use Broadway Paper which is disappointing because we were really looking forward to using the design we had picked out. I would not recommend looking here for wedding...
