As fun and easy as it is to fire off emails to family and friends, there still is nothing like the little flutter of excitement people feel when they see an actual piece of snail mail has arrived for them. In fact, because writing letters is a form of expression that hovers on extinction, receiving a written letter from someone you love is even more special than it used to be. No matter how much you want to step back into simpler times, you may be feeling a bit uneasy about filling an entire sheet of notepaper with your thoughts. If this is the case, take a look at note cards. Because of their smaller size, they are a bit less imposing for most potential letter writers. To order note cards that are perfect for sending short notes to friends and family, you should:

• Choose a design that is not limited to one or two occasions when you are ordering a larger quantity of a single style. A monogram or a tasteful geometric design would be able to handle more formal content as well as a casual note mentioning a bit of news.
• Consider ordering quantities of 10 cards in a few different fun or romantic designs for times when you’d prefer to use a special card design.
