The pen is mightier than the pixel with custom envelopes
In the current era of digital technology, most correspondence is done through email and text. The long tradition of letter writing has fallen by the wayside and with it the beautiful handwriting, elaborately decorated notepaper and matching envelopes. The hobby of writing to pen pals has been replaced my MySpace and Facebook messaging, and instant information age has taken over the time it used to take to write a letter.
I have a theory that most of us have quite forgotten how to use a pen, the writing has been become a slow and tedious compared to instant chat available through MSN and other instant messaging services. The speed at which all look forward to a response of these days, rarely leaving time for laziness letters to make their way through friends and family. And the effort to write, publish and waiting that does not fit with our 'oh so busy life styles.
I think that's exactly why that should bring the art of writing in the back. We spend our lives running to do things, and each time saving process allows us to do more. We must embrace the savings in time and actually use the time saved to do something relaxing, meditative and, well, well. We all like receiving a letter in the mail, one that is not preprinted on business correspondence anyway. The sight of a manila envelope that is neither standard or off white, with a name and address of love written on the front has an element of excitement. This leads us to pop on the kettle, sit back and taken ten minutes to get a reading.
Receiving a handwritten letter has the power to make a person feel special and worthwhile, but a quality experience. If someone has taken the time to your day to write a letter of love or friendship, have a greater impact than an e-mail with the same content. This is a personal contact that is meaningful, and must be exercised more frequently than the annual birthday and Christmas cards, usually a sign of confidence only ran lightly.
Of handwriting used to be a widely practiced art. The schools will devote many hours to the perfection of the written word, and every stroke of a pen would be perfectly executed. The pen scribbles spend writing today have nothing on the lines of pure text without hesitation that it uses to deliver letters. The rhythm of writing carefully, and with a Fountain Pen, leaving time for the mind to process thoughts and ideas, resulting in a more poetic way of communication. Everyone agrees that quality is more important than quantity, and I think the quality of a handwritten letter is bigger than all messages Free text Gandalf can shake a stick.
Try to add a personal touch to a letter a little more special. Making or decorating your own Paper Writing is a way, using color envelopes is another. Add stickers, stencils and transfers, or use of specialty rubber stamps can add a memorable finishing touch. There are also kits available you can seal the envelope with the stamp of his own wax, it's almost worth getting a signet ring made especially for the purpose! Unlike an email with a thematic backdrop decorated with emoticons, there will be no email notification can not be delivered in writing to hand delivered by snail mail.
