Current Stationery Trends in the US

One of our stationery experts in the US, Kate Price, has kindly written a post for us on current stationery trends in the US.  Kate works with Wedding Paper Divas, Tiny Prints, Treat, and Shutterfly. All companies are known for exceptional quality, great customer service, and stylish designs. All of these brands are part of the leading stationery and photo printing stores in the US.

Over to you Kate:

People today may be more apt to share milestones through Facebook updates or tweets, but the tradition of stationery is making a strong comeback. Sending a card or letter through the mail adds a personal touch and provides a long lasting message, something that gets lost through social media posts or email. So make sure that you send out birthday cards from Treat to your grandmothers or thank you cards from Wedding Paper Diva’s after your big day, because it will leave a good impression and shows the recipient you care.

Use of Stationery

Stationery has a variety of uses from the formal to the everyday. It can be used for formal events, such as weddings, birthday parties, and showers and for announcements such as a new baby or new address, as well as every day uses, like thank you cards and letters.

Types of Stationery
Today, consumers have a variety of styles to choose from. Some prefer a call to elegance with a modern feel as in the example below. It is your choice to keep some formality with a hint of personal flair.

I Just Got Engaged!

Wise Wedding Planning Tips… #10

You’re thinking, “I just got engaged! I’m going to shout it to the world!”  Right?  While you may be tempted to ask everyone and their pet goldfish to save the date for your wedding, don’t verbally ask them OR send out save the dates until the guest list is finalised. You will likely have to edit the guest list as venues have restrictions, your budget has gone over, or your fiance forgot about Aunt Susie and her family.  Can you imagine having to cut already asked guests, yikes!
