With most social engagements put on hold until the pandemic is over, people are rearranging their home offices, their outdoor spaces and their basement play spaces. Here’s another thing you can transform with much less effort: give yourselves some luxury stationery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t know about you, but I haven’t gotten dressed up for well over a year! Recently, I attended a virtual launch party for a film festival, and I put on makeup, did my hair and put on a cute top. I even put on my best jeans, even though my legs wouldn’t be on camera. I hardly recognized myself…but it felt terrific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personalized stationery is a reflection of you. It’s an outward manifestation of your taste and an extension of your personality. And when you send a formal note– such as for a wedding, funeral, or job acceptance letter — you want your stationery to look its best. Here are some easy ways — some free, some that cost a bit extra — to add a bit of luxury to your stationery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select Your Ink Color<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the easiest and least expensive ways to make your stationery have a more formal feel is to use gold, silver, slate, or black raised ink for the personalization. Our Classic Monogram Note<\/a> in gold ink on white paper…tres chic! Or these two folded notes below, featuring black raised ink and gold raised ink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose Embossing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our embossed stationery<\/a> costs a bit more than our raised-ink stationery, but there’s a reason for that. It’s an old art form that takes skill and precision. EG’s fully embossed designs on ivory paper have a traditional, timeless feel. They are appropriate for any occasion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add a Colored Border<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another low-cost way to dress up your stationery is to opt for a black or red border. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
