I don’t know about you but I am not one for the modern way of sending things like Xmas and other forms of greeting cards – those of the ‘email’ kind. E-cards I guess get there straight away and cost nothing by way of postage orfootwork but there is something still nice about getting a car through the post box – to me it shows that the sender cares and bothered to take the time to send it to you.

The same goes for wedding invitations. My son is now engaged and he and his fiancee are looking to send out their invites the old fashioned way – I advised them on this one – so they are having some fun looking at the designs that they can choose from, they have similar tastes (fortunately…) and as they are not having a huge wedding the printing costs wont be too considerable.

I think it is still the way to go when you have to send out a card for whatever reason; even business people still like to have some cards on them to pass around to clients and you cannot do that with an email. There’s a site – 123print.com - which specialises in print cards and you have a huge variety of designs and formats to look at – you design them yourself too and you know that personal touch is a very important thing!
