Stationery set - Traditional

Through the years, stationery has been an important part of good social etiquette. A hand-written note is something that can be kept and treasured and can show ones taste and flair. It is a way to make an individual statement. It is an easy to way express a thought or note of appreciation, send a love letter or touch base with an old friend.

Stationery comes in thousands of colors, papers and styles.  There is never a right or wrong selection. Personal taste plays the most important role. You could have something as simple as a stamp that you could use on blank cards and envelopes or go all out and get a stationery set which would consist of your own monogrammed self inking stamp, blank note cards, thank you cards, gift tags, address labels, gift labels and wine bottle tags.

Through the year, there are occasions where a stationery box set would make a great gift! In January for parties attended during the holiday season. In February, as a Valentine’s Day gift. In March, for mom for Mother’s Day and in June, for Father’s Day. Then there are always bridal showers, baby showers and housewarmings to attend where a box of personalized cards makes a unique thoughtful gift that will be remembered. And lastly, the holidays are a perfect time to give friends and family a box of note cards with their monogram on it.

Below is a stationery set that is more classic, ornate and traditional in style.

Whether you have received a present, attended a dinner, or if someone did something special for you, it's occasion to send a note of thanks. One that shows your gratitude and style.

Personalized note cards and thank you cards are a printed set of cards with your name or monogram. You can add the word "Thanks" in your personalisation, but just using your name should suffice. Whether you would like the look to be traditional or contemporary, romantic and floral, or bright and bold, there is a stationery set just perfect for you.

It's great way to get your children into the habit of sending their own personalized notecards. You can start by writing the notes for them and eventually as they get older they can start to write the notes with your help. This is a lovely way to show the kids to be courteous and well mannered, an asset they can take with them through their life.

Let me help you design your personalized note card that will stay with you for years to come. One that will be welcomed by friends and family.
