Love this post! I am a new follower of this point and completely agree with these sentiments. My son is two and will be learning the same lessons about the importance of a hand-written note.

I wish thank you notes were more widely used. It's just polite! I love all four of my various monogrammed note cards:)

I totally agree with your thoughts on Thank You cards. It's much more meaningful and thoughtful to send/receive a hand written note. I too have different levels of Crane Cards from Engraved, Embossed and Printed, depending on the situation. My wife and I even have an additional joint set. It feels good to pick up a nice pen and a heavy card and write a heart-felt sentiment.

I still write 'em and I insist that LFG do so as well. I have Crane cards and Crane sheets as well.

AEV: The paper from Florence just feels better, you can tell from the weight and design the quality and craftsmanship that goes into each piece.

JMW: I love the tradition of it as well. Well put.

Thank you notes were a must in our house and to this day, I'm a stickler for sending a handwritten thank you note in the mail. I love fine stationery (Smythson-Bond, Crane, etc.), as well as notecards with my monogram. Hubby even has his own stationery with his full name on it as well. I just love the tradition of it.

Great post DAM. My parents were thank you note police as well. It took me about 15 years to realize what a great piece of parenting that was...

In addition to monogrammed sets, I love Smythson and Jean Rouget stationary....as well as just about anything from Florence.

Lilly Pulitzer has great stationary out right now, colorful and fun.

I write my 'thank-yous' on stationary, but unfortunately I've found that unless I send invitations through e-vite I don't get much of a response.

I am a lover of Crane for all formal papers. I do keep a supply of fun personalized folded notes for quick notes to friends and such. My boys (who are 8 and 13) also have a supply of monogrammed flat notes for thank yous always on hand, though I am sure they would prefer not to have such! :-)

Wonderful post and sentiments.
