James — point taken, but in referring to any store as stationary, wouldn’t that be pointing out the obvious?

This place is REALLY expensive. For that kind of money, you could work with a designer and custom-design your own wedding invitations, with a lot more of the cash going to the actual artist. Letterpress and other types of engraving isn’t cheap, but I would think the idea of this place would be to offer well-designed stationery at more affordable rates.

Am I the only one who sees the value of this? As a design fanatic, I see this as a great opportunity for artists to put their work to a good use. I’m not so sure I would call it stationery, it seems that the majority of their business will go do printing invitations and such. Just keep in mind, my dear fellow web-addicts, there are still people out there (somewhere) that don’t use the computer for everything…

You guys are idiots. This finally brings hard to find paper brands and the coolest underground designs to the masses. It’s one of the last untapped industries to not be online.

If you knew anything about paper or customized invitations you’d know they have the very best brands around.

the site works just fine for me on Safari 3. Doesn’t feel heavy at all. The js drop downs are crisp… I don’t see the problem.

They may have great designers, but they are not designing for the web.

This site is way too heavy. Lose some text, really. With 2.5 milllion in funding the home page optimization and user experience should be worked out.

Who still uses stationary? What a waste of paper and resources. With electronic communication being more and more common, the use of stationary or paper in general is a waste.

Peter, another great way to remember the difference between the two! I’ll tuck that away for future use.

James — point taken, but in referring to any store as stationary, wouldn’t that be pointing out the obvious? It’s not nearly as newsworthy as a stationery store launch now that letter writing is a lost art.

Gees, talk about branding infringement to Mint.com (or is not?). Is that what Papyrus is about (www.papyrusonline.com). Hmmm…

Zak: Another (and easier, from my POV) way to remember it is that a “stationer” is a person who sells “stationery.” “er” is a common suffix for a person, whereas “ar” is not. “Stationar” just looks crazy wrong.

“Stationary” store? You mean the store doesn’t move?!

Stationary/Stationery

Station(e)ry because you write l(e)tters
