Everyone has their own independent personal style. Creating your own personalized stationery is one the many ways that you can put your style and sense of design to use to come up with something unique that is reflective of your own personality.

Personalized stationery is one of the few things that you can make unique and then share it with others. Your friends and family will love receiving notes on your personalized stationery. They’ll know right away that you must have had a hand in its design. When it comes to creating your own custom stationery you’ll have many options to choose from in order to create something entirely unique that reflects your style.

One of the first selections that you’ll have to make is whether you want a preprinted pattern on your stationery. There are a number of popular designs that you can have on your stationery. From geometric circles and designs to elegant flowers, you’ll have a number of various preprinted graphic options that you can choose for your stationery. And don’t worry that selecting one of these prints will take away from the uniqueness of your stationery since there are several other customization options you’ll have to pick out on your own.

If you don’t opt for a preprinted design then you can start with selecting the border and the color paper that you want. There are a number of border options available. You will also have to select the border color. Make sure that the colors that you select coordinate well together. You never want the color of the paper to make it difficult to see the color of the print. Make sure that you select two colors that contrast enough so that your print is clearly visible.

Next, you’ll need to decide what you want printed on the stationery. The two most common choices are someone’s initials and someone’s full name. Feel free to have something extra included with your printing if you’d like. You can also order coordinating envelopes for your stationery that has your return address preprinted on them.

There are a lot of customization options that come with creating your own stationery. You’ll want to make sure that you create stationery that reflects your individual personality and your sense of style. Use your customization options to come up with something perfect.

You’ve sent out the the invitations. You’ve prepared all the food. You’ve had napkins personalized. All the guests came over and had a great time. It was a great party. Now comes the post party clean up, you are feeling pretty good about how it went and now that it is done you have one more thing to do. You have to send out thank you notes.

Sending thank you notes is the last stage of the party and should be just as fun. It is not a chore and won’t take as long as you might think. It takes less time to write a thank you note than for you to actually read this whole blog. If you don’t know how it’s easy you just need to remember six things.

First things first, greet the person you are thanking. This is the easy part. Open it up any way you like with a Dear Bob or Hi Sally. You get the idea.

Second, thank the person. What ever it was, whether it was just them coming to the party or them giving you a gift, it won’t be any trouble and you will find it fun.

Third, say something nice about the thing that you got from them. If it’s intangible, like you borrowing their car, say something to the effect of how nice the car drives.

Fourth, mention that you were glad to see them at the party. Let them know how you felt seeing them. And mention something like the fact that you’d like to see the again soon.

Fifth, thank them again. It’s nice to emphasize how grateful you are.

Sixth, send them your regards: Love, Yours truly. Don’t forget to sign your name.

There is one more thing I almost forgot to mention. Do not send your thank you by email. In this day of electronics, people don’t think of the weight a handwritten note carries. By sending a handwritten thank you note, you are sending a message that the person is important in your life and that the thank you is sincere. Also when you are sending a thank you card make sure you use a personalized card of some sort. Getting a set of thank you note for a particular event can be part of the fun. It’s easy to go to a site online and choose a thank you card to personalize for a party or just to have some stationery for that quick thank you. Giftsin24.com is one such site. They have a plethora of choices for any party.

If you follow these simple and easy steps, writing your next thank you note won’t be a chore. It will be fun and the time you spend writing the thank you notes will be fulfilling.

Do you make mental notes about a letter you’re going to write to a friend, explaining how you really feel about something ? Do you ever send the letter? If the first answer is yes and the second answer is no, it’s all right – you’re just like the rest of us. I sit every morning at my “home office” desk, trying to get organized, and to communicate with my friends, family, and those people that I never quite got to know but wish that I had. It doesn’t matter that I have my personalized stationery, my commemorative “Cowboys of the Silver Screen” stamps, and my favorite rolling-ball black-ink pen at-the-ready. The thoughts are in my mind, but I don’t pull them together. I don’t write the note and mail it. (“post it” as the British say.) I have the time, I have the materials, I have my version of a Latte Grande cup of coffee at my right elbow. But I don’t put everything into action and send that all-important missive.

The book, Herzog, by Saul Bellow, is about a man who is constantly composing letters in his mind, but never writing them or sending them. Since I’ve mentioned the book, here is a snippet from Wikipedia:

Herzog spends much of his time mentally writing letters he never sends. These letters are aimed at friends, family members, and famous figures. The recipients may be dead, and Herzog has often never met these people. The one common thread is that Herzog is always expressing disappointment, either his own in the failings of others or their words, or apologizing for the way he has disappointed others.

Is this what we all do ? We lapse into a constant state of explanation ? Either we are explaining to ourselves or to others what we did, what we were going to do, or what we plan to do. With Herzog the problem became more extreme. As the book ended, there was no longer a difference between his letter-composing and his real life. Reality had become a never-ending series of ideas, apologies, etc., that never made it onto paper. Composing the next letter became reality.

Let’s avoid Herzog’s fate: A good start is to keep these letter-writing materials convenient to us. Yes, the stationery, the Roy Rogers postage stamp, and the rolling-ball pen. We will finish our coffee and put that pen to paper !

After read some of the other blogs about how and when to send a written thank you note, I thought we might reflect on the following quote from A.J. Cronin, the Scottish novelist and writer of non-fiction:

Gratitude is something of which none of us can give too much. For on the smiles, the thanks we give, our little gestures of appreciation, our neighbors build up their philosophy of life.

Too often, we see the written thank you as an obligation. We think that others expect us to say thank you, and we need to respond to these expectations. Since it seems to be more and more difficult to see our friends, family, and neighbors in person, we must look at other choices. I keep my personalized thank you cards in their box at my desk for exactly this reason. When I want to convey a thank you to a friend, colleague, or family member, I enjoy the act of putting pen to paper and composing the written thank you.

For me, putting the stamp on the envelope and “posting” the letter is so satisfying. For the recipient, as Mr. Cronin says, it might become a small memory and a part of their life.

One thing that every girl must have is beautiful, upscale personalized stationery. This kind of stationery speaks of class, sophistication and etiquette. It is considered extremely impolite not to thank someone for a gift or a kind gesture via stationery, and it is also impolite to thank them via email. This simply cannot be done in today’s standard of etiquette; even email has become the standard way of today’s communication. Perhaps because emails are standard with the average communication needs is the reason why it is unacceptable to thank someone in this manner for a special gesture – one that is not received everyday. And the polite, sophisticated class that you hand off when you write a thank you note can be exuded by the personalized stationery itself.

Buy stationery that reflects the sophisticated class of polite etiquette that you seek to observe. Send an impression that lets people know that you care about your image and that you care enough about the person you are thanking to use your most refined and elegant stationery to express your gratitude. Personalized stationery can be embossed in beautiful cursive letters – or whatever your choice of font is – with your initials or full name.

If you are invited to a wedding, you will find that this high standard of elegant imprinting and classic designs make wonderful gifts for the bride and groom. Provide the lovely couple with stationery that adorns the new initials of the newly weds combined on paper for the first time after the vows have been taken. Give them the gift of stationery that exudes elegance, sophistication and beauty that the new couple hopes to achieve during their new life together.

That stationery is delivered in a beautiful box to store all the stationery with, including every size of thank you note cards that one may need throughout the year. Use large paper for letters to send in the mail, medium cards for thank you notes and small cards as tags to include with gifts and flowers. Leave your mark everywhere you go and always use your elegance stationery that carries your initials or the initials that represent your new life together.

The one thing that has always come in handy as a newly wedded bride is my personalized stationery. A close friend of my mother’s gave my husband and I our first customized stationery that was delivered in a box almost as beautiful as the stationery itself.

The tasteful design was so elegant that I almost hated using my cards to write the thank you notes! But, of course, that was their purpose. And I used all of my stationery on writing thank you cards to all of my wedding guests. The cream colored stationery was tastefully embossed with our new initials, which happens to be the first time our initials were joined together in such a fashion.

Everyone called me to tell me how beautiful my thank you cards were and that the cards could have been used as works of art themselves! I ended up ordering more stationery for myself after I was through writing the thank you notes for my wedding. I use the stationery for everything – I thank people for gifts, kind gestures, any help I have received and just about anything else I can think of.

I have noticed how my personalized stationery sends such a positive and uplifting feeling to the recipients. Perhaps it is because so little communication these days is accomplished via paper letters. It certainly feels refreshing to receive a thank you note in the mail that is meant just for you to read. Once you sift through the ads and bills in the mail and come across beautiful stationery like mine, it is certain to brighten your day. And when I brighten other people’s days, my day is in return much brighter.

Now when I go to other people’s weddings, I never underestimate the power that personalized stationery can have. Everyone can use it – especially a newly wedded couple – and it is something that will never go out of style. Every girl needs elegant stationery on hand for the times that require a special thank you and the last thing you want to do is scramble for appropriate stationery at the last minute. Have fun with it and order different designs and fonts to match you personality – just make sure that you are never without stationery!

It always seems that you can never have enough thank you cards on hand to sincerely thank your friends and family for favors and gifts. Whether your neighbor picks up your mail for you while you are on vacation or your sister gives you a lovely bouquet of freshly cut flowers from her garden, a small thank you card can always go a long way.

Expressing your gratitude for a favor or a gift is extremely important. You want to make sure the person who did the favor or gave the gift knows exactly how much you appreciated it. Handwritten thank you cards are the perfect way to accomplish this. It will only take a few minutes of your time to write down how you feel and thank someone for something they did for you.

With modern technology many people are skipping a few steps of the process and sending out emails to serve as thank yous. An email message simply does not have as much weight as handwritten thank you cards. They are more informal and your gratitude can be lost somewhere in cyberspace. Don’t try to save yourself some time by shooting out a quick email as a thank you because emails can come across as devoid of emotion.

If you want to genuinely thank someone it is always best to take the time to write out a card, even if it is only one or two sentences, and to sign your name in ink. It will lend a much more personal and sincere touch to your expression of gratitude and be well received by the person that you are thanking. They will know that you appreciated the gesture or the gift and feel as if their efforts were genuinely received and valued.

When it doubt always send out a quick thank you. Even if it is a small gesture it is always best to send out a thank you to express your gratitude. By having a stack of thank you notes in a handy place at home you’ll be much more apt to take the time to write one out. It is always a good idea to have these on hand and to keep some stamps along side them so that the next time that someone does you a favor you are ready to show your gratitude by sending them a handwritten thank you.
