With a love of paper as her guide, Paperlicious was launched to bring a fresh perspective to the world of custom printed invitations, birth announcements, and social stationery.

States Nelson “When I created Paperlicious, I really wanted to bring affordable and edgy designs to the world of invites and stationery. I saw a niche for quality paper with a Rock Star style, plus lots of great customer service at no additional cost. We try to be fast, friendly, and fresh!”

The new year will bring increased product offerings from Paperlicious with the introduction of Save The Date Photo Cards, Rounded Corner Elegant Gift Tags, and Custom Luggage Tags.
