Keep in Touch With Personalized Stationery

By sizes paper, 10 January, 2010, No Comment

In today’s technological world, one thing seems to have been left behind: the art of writing a letter to friends and family. You may be in the habit of sending email to your friends and family last week to keep them updated and to just say hello. While keeping in touch with friends and family via email is a great way to send information fast, it discounts the personalization of sending a note that you have handwritten to someone you care about.

Typing out a blanket email and sending it to everyone on your contact list is not very personal. On the other hand, handwriting a letter to someone shows that you care. Imagine how you felt the last time you received a handwritten note from a friend in the mail. The thought which is conveyed by sending a handwritten letter out is that the person who sent the letter really cared about the recipient enough to spend the time to handwrite them a letter. Now, you too can show your friends and family how much you care, while adding an extra spark of interest, with hand written letters on personalized stationery.

Personalized stationery is an extra special added touch to an already special show of your care. Using personalized stationery has many benefits:

1) People will know who the letter is from – Your personalized stationery can include writing paper, envelopes, address labels, cards, note pads, labels, stickers, tags and much more. You can include all the information you would like on your personalized stationery, including your mailing address, phone number and, if you’d like, your email address. Of course, you will want to make sure that your name or initials are on the personalized stationery. This will alert your friends and family immediately who the letter is from.

2) Your information is at their fingertips – The more information you include on your personalized stationery, the more your friends and family have at their fingertips. You can actually increase the amount of mail you get in return by adding your address to your personalized stationery. For example, if you add your return mailing address to your stationery, your friends and family don’t have to search for your address if they wish to write back to you.

3) Your friends and family will know that you care and are thinking about them – Nothing shows how much you love and care for someone as a handwritten letter on personalized stationery. Your friends and family will feel wonderful receiving a hand written letter from you, updating them on your life, just to say hello, get well soon, happy birthday or happy holidays.

4) You will never have to hunt for stationery again, or worry about its quality. With personalized stationery, you are getting enough of your own stationery to use. No one will want to use your personalized stationery for their own letters – so you won’t have to worry about other people in your office or home stealing your stationery to write letters. You’ll always have stock on hand, knowing that you can write a letter to someone when ever you want to. You’ll also know that you’re getting a high quality stationery to use; no more foolscap lined paper borrowed from your child’s school binder.

5) You will always be ready for any occasion – Forgot about your friend’s birthday in a couple of days? Misplaced the card you purchased last week for mother’s day? Someone surprise you with a gift? Find out a co-worker or friend is ill? With your own personalized stationery, including note cards and thank you cards, you don’t have to worry about missing many occasions. You will have cards and personalized stationery on hand to quickly write out a quick note to say thanks, happy birthday, I’m thinking of you, get well soon, or whatever the occasion.

Imagine, always being on top of occasions and having something ready for anything that your friends, co-workers and families throw your way. Never again will you be the one who forgot someone’s important day, and if you do happen to forget, you have something that you can quickly whip up to help improve someone’s feelings and your reputation.

It’s always nice to receive something in the mail from someone, but your personalized stationery can go a lot further than that. You can leave notes on someone’s desk just to brighten their day, tack a note on the wall as a personal reference to yourself, or even create a grocery list. There are many different types of personalized stationery that you can choose from and having a variety is really the spice of life.

Add an extra touch to your letters with personalized stickers, or add that extra-special feature to a gift with a tag. Personalized stationery will get you through many occasions, no matter what the event.

Wedding Invitations in the Corporate Office Environment

By sizes paper, 8 January, 2010, No Comment

Somewhere between climbing the corporate ladder and starting your own business, you managed to fall in love. If frequent dates and weekends away weren’t enough to fill the gaps in your already busy schedule, getting engaged most certainly took care of any free time you had. However, you don’t have to lose sleep by dividing time between your home life and your business affairs, as long as you keep a healthy balance between the two.

In order to be successful in love, you have to display the same qualities you retain at work. You have to be personable, patient, detail oriented, and attentive to other people’s needs. You have to maintain a persistent attitude that will deem you a champion. Although juggling a full plate is not preferable, there are ways to maintain your integrity and plan a memorable wedding party complete with your business contacts and work colleagues.

Networking Through Your Wedding Invitations

Here’s how rubbing elbows can benefit you outside the workplace:

What better place is there to plug your business than on the front of your wedding invitation? A little harmless self-promotion never hurt anyone! In fact, it may do your company wonders to let your business contacts and work colleagues see a more human side of you.

A corporate logo incorporated onto stationery is a special touch that needs no introduction. Guests will know how much the two of you value your company, and they will undoubtedly find the gesture charming. Building a business takes almost as long as building a sturdy relationship with another person. It won’t come as a surprise to most people that you want to form a union between the two.

The Right Way to Combine Business with Pleasure

When inviting your corporate clients, vendors, customers, and employees to your wedding ceremony and reception, there are a few things to consider:

First and foremost, although you are in a more relaxed setting, always remember to conduct yourself in a professional manner. You may feel stressed out beyond words, but your guests don’t have to know how you feel. Smile and be attentive to your wedding party, and by no means should you come off as pushy or rude to anyone you have invited to the event.

Second of all, monitor your celebrating. Remember the adage, “loose lips sink ships.” Lay off the champagne because it may cause you to say something you will regret in the morning. Keep the event personable, but not too personal.

Last but not least, don’t let work get in the way of you having fun. Although you most likely will talk business with your guests, don’t let it be the only thing you mention throughout the evening. You can always be polite without revealing too many intimate details about your home life.

When writing your guest list, remember that the right kind of invitation can promote your life’s work and introduce your new business partner—your husband or wife – to the people you make contact with daily.

Wedding Stationery A Formal Statement Or Tradition

By sizes paper, 12 December, 2009, No Comment

Of all the things needed to do when planning a wedding, if you forget to invite the guests, it won’t be much of a celebration. Even in this high tech age of instant communication, a wedding is not something that has translated well to the email or voice mail notification. Even the most radical wedding ceremony still requires wedding stationery just to stay recognized as decent people.

Wedding stationery is simply the specialized, printed paper goods for your wedding. This can include invitations, thank you notes, all the envelopes, RSVP cards, formal writing paper, even napkins and coordinated note cards and name tags. The two most important pieces of wedding stationery however are the invitations and the thank you cards.

Many family and friend relationships have been damaged over who was invited to a wedding, what was purchased as a gift, and if that gift was acknowledged with a formal thank you. A marriage is not the time to make a statement and care must be taken not to leave anyone out that should receive a wedding invitation. Be certain to check with family members and especially parents of both the bride and groom. Parents can offer a surprising number of people to a wedding celebration that could be offended if not invited.

Many people who you invite will usually be people that may not even attend. Even if you know they can’t attend due to living out of state, etc. it’s still important to invite them. An invitation shows consideration for that friend or family member. It also gives them the option to send a gift [smile]

Thank you cards also are critical as every gift must be acknowledged. It’s considered quite crass and rude not to send, through postal mail, a hand written, personal thank you for any gift received. A good thank you note would acknowledge the gift specifically by name, is hand written, and hand addressed. This says a lot about you as a couple and should not be minimized. Sending email, leaving voice mail, even thanking the gift giver personally by telephone doesn’t remove the obligation of a formal, written thank you.

Wedding stationery is usually printed with specific information about the marriage date, people involved, etc. Because of this customization, you will need shop around and select the stationery well in advance of your wedding. Wedding stationery and invitations are not something to leave for the last minute. It will take some time to decide just the right paper, layout, and font for your stationery.

Your wedding invitation and accessories set the tone for your special day firmly establishing your style and taste. It is the first official message about your wedding that a guest will receive from you, so make it special. If wedding etiquette is important to you, then make a start with your wedding stationery.
