I heard today from reader Jane, who was lamenting the loss of the If It's Paper store in Raleigh recently.
Jane is now looking for a new place to buy paper products, ranging from deli trays, table cloths, napkins and utensils to cake boxes and wedding supplies. I had a few ideas but I thought I'd offer the question here to see if you all have any suggestions for Jane.
Fire away.
Is The Party Shop still open in Cameron Village?
I love Papertown! AMAZING selection and you don't always have to purchase in big quantities. If you do, why not split the goods and cost with a friend/coworker/neighbor?
If you want to drive to Durham, try Not Just Paper at 1010 W. Main Street. They sell school supplies, paper, party supplies, etc. Their huge warehouse is connected to the store, and they often have clearance items. Check out their website at http://www.brameco.com/notjustpaper.htm
The North Carolina Paper Company in downtown Clayton has most everything including Wilton supplies.
This is a good paper/label company (obviously wouldn't offer all of the same merchandise, but some) without having to order wayyyy more than needed:

For basic paper supplies such as plain napkins, tablecloths, etc, Sam's is a good place to get such things. Of course, they don't have anything fancy nor do they have cake boxes, etc.
Papertown - Spring Forest Road near Departure Drive (Between Atlantic and Capital)
Whitley Grocery & Supply Inc
484 W Market St
Smithfield, NC 27577

Party City has a pretty good variety of products and they usually have clearance items.
Re: Where to buy paper items?
Yes - love the Party Shop in Cameron Village. They have every theme imaginable!
