While I truly appreciate your instructional entries on letter writing (particularly the bit on Thank You Notes), I thought you might like to know that the stationary examples shown above do not properly display a male monogram. I suppose the manliness of a monogram in the first instance is debatable, although I do think it is an elegant touch on stationary. In any case, the correct format for a man’s monogram is First Initial, Middle, Last… all the same size. In the case of John Q. Smith, his monogram would read JQS.

Please note that Crane & Company and Stationery Studio are worthy sources of personalized stationery, and did deserve to be mentioned in the above discussion of personalized stationery. However, the thick cards offered at Giftsin24.com are of especially high quality. Please take a look at the Railroad Cards and Colonial Cards which are worthy of a man’s pen, are extra thick and reasonably priced.

I find most of my needs met with correspondence cards and monarch sheets. There’s a store in Augusta, GA that I get mine at. I buy plain 100% cotton sheets in boxes of 50 each, and they can be used for almost any occasion.

The are of letter writing is certainly falling away from society. As Sage said its taking a back seat to technology. Even the quality of email has gone down hill with thoughts and feelings reduced to emoticons and abbreviations, it makes me want to scream WTF! I fell into the habit of modern hieroglyphics for a while but now I’m back to writing proper letters right down to Dear_____ , along with indenting paragraphs. I also write thank you cards and send them out to clients and business associates. In this day and age people rarely get cards or letters let alone a “thankyou”. So I believe it sets me out from the competition. People have been reseptive and I know that even the ones how don’t say so, it means a great deal to them for me to have taken some time to write them. I fighting to bring back some of the fine things in life all while staying tech savvy. So there’s my two cents.
