An innovative company, 983 Wedding, has been providing personalized wedding invitations online since 2006.

“We really wanted to improve the experience for brides,” said Stacey Bush, Union Street Papery owner for 11 years. “We are extremely hands on, taking the time to get to know the couples, their story, and convey that through their invitation and stationery.”
Stacey and her staff take pride in their design and etiquette expertise and are passionate about the look and feel of their products. Paper is not dead, said Stacey, who believes the biggest industry trend could be the return of traditional stationery.

Industry experts agree there is renewed excitement about tradition, thanks in part to the royal wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton.
The Union Street Papery’s new location formerly served as a carriage house when the Cow Hollow neighborhood was 19th century pastureland. The carriages parked in the courtyard downstairs, where Union Street Papery’s gift and greeting card shop is now located. And horses were boarded upstairs, now the new bridal bungalow. The neighborhood has evolved into a posh shopping and dining district with many offerings for brides.
Union Street Papery, established in 1985, is the ultimate boutique destination for fashionable and elegant stationery design in the San Francisco Bay Area. The shop has developed an international following among event planners and paper lovers everywhere, seeking the latest in custom designed wedding invitations, save the dates, savvy personalized stationery, distinctive party invitations, baby announcements and holiday cards.
