Personalized stationery

Personalized stationery is obviously quite a bit more expensive than standard paper, so I do have to be mindful of my budget when making my buying decisions.

Letter writing is definitely a lost art these days.

As much as I appreciate the convenience and speed of e-mail, I really miss getting handwritten letters from my friends and family.

Nevertheless, I do my part to keep the post office in business by sending at least one or two personal letters per week.

I just enjoy the whole process of getting out my fountain pen and personalized stationery to jot down my thoughts.

Because I send so many letters, I frequently have to restock my supply of personalized stationery.

This is fine by me, as I like to have a little variety anyway.

I almost never send someone two letters in a row on the same kind of paper, so it's best if I have two or three different kinds of personalized stationery to choose from at any given time.

In addition to standard letter sheets, I also keep simple note cards and so-called folded notes on hand for those occasions when I just want to dash off a quick thank you or something like that.

Personalized stationery is obviously quite a bit more expensive than standard paper, so I do have to be mindful of my budget when making my buying decisions.

I generally avoid the name-brand companies like Crane's or Alden Grace.

While their products are indeed very lovely and elegant, they cost much more than I'm willing to spend.

Instead, I regularly surf the Internet looking for good deals on personalized stationery.

I've noticed that there are numerous websites that offer a nice selection of personalized stationery designs and styles to choose from, and that many smaller companies are able to offer incredible prices on these items.

While the quality of these products isn't exactly on par with the name-brand versions, it's definitely good enough to make the items worth purchasing.

Before I started buying personalized stationery online, I took a bit of time to learn about paper thicknesses and weights so that I would have a better understanding of what kind of products I would be getting.

In general, the thicker the paper, the more expensive it is.

I wanted to be sure I could tell which paper thicknesses would be worth the extra cost and which wouldn't.

I certainly didn't want to pay a lot of money for personalized stationery only to get tissue-thin writing sheets in return.

On the whole, I've been very pleased with the personalized stationery products that I've purchased online.

I've found some beautiful designs and wonderful websites to do business with, plus I have become very adept at finding great bargains.

And most important of all, I'm able to keep my letter writing tradition alive and send my loved ones something other than e-mail messages once in a while.
