So Unique!

by BBH

I love going into Oblation although I always end up staying longer than I intend. They have beautiful products and really unique items. I had them design an invitation for a small party and they were perfect. Everything was finished early, the process was very easy, and I was thrilled.

• Pros: Unique, Artsy, Classy

Letterpress print shop sells fancy stationery and gifts.

by Ashley Gartland

Frazzled brides and the otherwise stationery-obsessed shoppers frequent this blissful little Pearl District letterpress studio and stationery boutique. On their minds: custom wedding invitations, baby announcements, party invites and distinctive holiday cards printed on thick handmade paper. A wide array of high-end office accessories, fine fountain pens, silky ribbons and pretty wrapping papers fill the rest of the airy, wood-floored store offering gifts galore for that special someone or yourself.

Suprisingly friendly in the Pearl!

by speedemoncoconuts

I looked at only one place before I found the design I was looking for for my wedding invitations at Oblation papers and press. Oblation is located in the Pearl district so I was so sure that the employees would ignore me and look at me like I don't belong in their store. But to my suprise I was welcomed in by a woman named Heather who was very sweet and soft spoken. She helped me get my ideas together. I came in a few weeks later to design my invitations and I was given to a woman named Emily. SWEETEST THING YOU WILL EVER MEET! She was a great help to me and my fiance. We had so much fun deciding wording and colors. Emily wasn't overpowering but suggested ideas, many of which we used. I didn't feel rushed although they were very busy. YEAY OBLATION!
