Elegant e-Thank Yous

There’s still a lot of controversy about whether or not it’s appropriate to send thank you notes via email. Sometimes, however, we need to send a note when we’re away (or the recipient is away) from home or when the occasion isn’t appropriate for a formal thank you note.

And some of us are just trying to go paperless. Now there’s stylish answer to the dilemma from Paperless Post—e-notes on elegant e-paper with customizable e-velopes, monograms, paper colors, and font styles. It’s the closest thing there is online to going to the stationery store and ordering personalized note cards.

One of the fonts I found even looks almost like my own handwriting (one of the notes I sent to a friend above). It’s also fun for the recipient to click on the envelope and see it open. The website is easy to navigate, and Paperless Post is gracious enough to offer a few introductory uses of the service before you begin paying.
