ON THE ART OF LETTER WRITING:

"In this age of electronic communication, we have come to appreciate beautiful design and printed cards even more. The emotion of special moments is best expressed by something that you can hold in your hands (and put on your refrigerator!)."

PICTURE PERFECT PHOTO TIPS:

"We encourage our customers to keep it simple. To get the best photo, don't be afraid to move in for a close-up. Try to take photos during spontaneous moments, ideally when your subject doesn't even realize he or she is being photographed. Take pictures outside as often as possible, so you can take advantage of the natural light. When choosing a card design, think about whether your personal style is traditional, contemporary or whimsical."

FAVORITE PARTY THEMES:

"We like party themes that focus on good food and drinks. We try to create a comfortable, homey space where people can easily interact with each other and mingle. And we always have enough wine!"
