20 blog post ideas - quarantine edition

20 blog post ideas – quarantine edition

This pandemic affected my mental health in so many ways. I’ve been at home since March, away from my loved ones, I lost my job, and canceled so many plans I had in mind. But on the other side, I spent more time with myself, and I did the things I always used to postpone for not having the time. I started working out more, reading books I always wanted to read, and learning new healthy recipes. I…

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could show how much a person is important to you by customizing your own card online? Instead of going the old-fashioned way by sending a text message or even writing a post on social media, Paperless Post gives you the opportunity to be more creative. If you haven’t heard of Paperless Post before, it’s a company that helps design custom online and paper stationery to reflect your personal style.

 What I love about this company is that it offers invitations and cards for a wide variety of occasions like birthdays cards, weddings invitations, baby shower cards, holiday cards and the list goes on and on. Paperless Post gave me the opportunity to customize my own card. And I can say the timing was perfect: my boyfriend and I are celebrating our anniversary soon and I have been searching for a unique way to let him know how much he means to me.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

The process of editing your card is super easy. First, you choose one of their countless designs. And let me tell you something, you’ll be amazed how many creative ideas you’ll find there! Then, you start editing: you can change anything, from letter spacing, colors, alignment, typefaces, text effects to the lining of the envelope. After that, you add your recipients and voila, you’re done. (You can always send a free test to your email to see how it will be sent to your recipients.)

Overall, I love the service that this company offers and how many unique and creative ideas it has. My boyfriend was thrilled when he saw the card I customized for him. I’ll definitely be using it for my future occasions.

Have you ever tried Paperless Post before? What are your thoughts?
