Arguably one of the most stressful aspects to planning a wedding is selecting the perfect invitations and post-ceremony thank you cards.

LA is blessed plenty of fabulous paper goods boutiques with gorgeous designs to help make your day as perfect as it can be, and ensures that your invites will say as much about your wedding as the actual event. From luxury letterpressers Sugar Paper to family-owned stationer An Open Invitation, we've rounded up 10 local options for customized invitations, big day tabletop accessories, and more.

Pricing ranges from $1137 to $3050, depending on the number of colors, invite size, and the amount you order.
