With the advent of technology, it may seem like the art of the handwritten note, list-making and correspondence in general are slowly dying. However, there is really nothing like a handwritten thank-you note to brighten anyone’s day and show your appreciation.
With that in mind, we have found some great personalized stationery options featured below that will make writing your next note or list much more enjoyable. Personalized stationery is a step up from your regular cards, notepads or drugstore-bought greeting cards, as the recipient knows right away who they came from and they also make for great desk decor as they are all aesthetically pleasing.
When buying personalized stationery, once you settle on a font or monogram style that you like, the fun part comes in the customization. Our font options include a simplistic writing set which makes for a great professional option to more clean, modern and elegant options that would work great for a variety of work and personal situations.
You can also choose to get a full wardrobe of stationery that includes everything from sheets and notes to enclosure cards and matching envelopes, or you can try for a simple notecard and envelope set. Whichever you choose, you will still be able to customize your perfect card which includes choosing the ink color or envelope and envelope liner colors, a return address to the envelopes and you can even specify the preferred orientation of the notecard.
