Fine stationery is such a pleasure to write on, to receive in the mail, and to read, that it could single handedly keep the art of letter writing alive! In a culture suffused in the terse, at times laconic style of e mail, receiving a letter which has been hand-written on fine stationery is like receiving a gift in the mail. When you have something important to say, say it on beautiful stationery.

The Mark of Fine Stationery

What separates fine stationery from mediocre stationery? Sometimes the difference is obvious. First, how does the paper feel? Quality paper feels wonderful. It's heavy, flawless, and beautifully textured. The texture can vary, of course. The stationery can be creamy and smooth or nubby and rough. Either way, however, it should be a pleasure to touch.

Whether this is your wedding stationery, personal stationery, or business stationery, make sure it's on acid free paper. Only acid free paper stands up to the ravages of time. If you want your letters to last, you have to use acid free paper.

Beautiful stationery also makes a wonderful gift. It's perfect for a recent graduate. Remember that the best stationery in the world is handmade. Instead of purchasing a mass-produced product at your local pharmacy, order handmade, custom stationery. You'll choose the font, ink color, text, design, paper stock, and even the envelope lining! What a creative way to write all the most important letters in your life.
