Calling Cards and Gift Enclosure Cards
An old tradition dating back to the 19th century. The calling card has now been modernized to still offer congratulations and condolences, as well as contact information in social situations where business cards are too stiff and impersonal.
Informal Notes
The informal note, ironically, is considered the note that should be used to respond to formal invitations and correspondence.
These fold-over notes should have your married name (as shown: Mrs. Charles Robert McNeil) engraved, letterpressed or thermographed on the front panel. Monograms or motifs can also be used on the front panel design in lieu of a married name.
Correspondence Note Cards
Non-folded cards, which are considered less formal than either monogram or informal notes. Conventionally these cards have one name centered at the top of the card, typically just a woman’s first name or her first and last name. Monograms or motifs may also be used as a design element.
Pens
Embrace your handwriting, your friends and family will come to cherish it.
