Personalized Stationary for your Family

Everybody loves getting something in the mail. Those printable thank you cards we get from Grandmaw always put a smile on our face when they arrive in the mailbox.

When I make my thank you cards, I always place my address labels on them with my return address preprinted alongside a cute image. The label below is an example of one of those fun address labels and has a cute kitty cat on the label sitting so sweet like next to an address.

You can order address labels such as these with cute themed images of life on the mailing labels from a personalized stationary store or simply make them yourself.

Deciding what size label to use is important if you decide to make these return address labels for your stationary yourself, since there will be times when you need to shape the label for a smaller sized envelope. Many people place a return label on the backside of the envelope over the flap, much like an envelope seal.

The address labels to the left are from a personalized stationery store that makes them to order for each customer. (You can also order bookplates, seals and notesheet stationery pads there as well).

After you make your stationary labels, you can also print thank you notes used after any event, whether a birthday party or a baby shower. Baby Shower Thank You Notes can be as simple as a fold over tent card with a message printed on the outside and blank section on the inside for your handwritten note.

Other notecards that you make as part of your personalized stationary can include wedding gift notes, birthday notecards and other thank you card ideas.

Other stationary ideas for your family include the printing of book labels for the inside front cover of your family's library books. Place a special message on your bookplate labels and the next time you pull the book off the shelf you'll see a message such as "Donated By" or "Given To" which will really touch your heart.

Soon you'll be making personalized stationary for your friends too! There are numerous resources on how to write a message inside your notecards, like a birthday notecard to a child for example and include these:
