I thought this was an interesting concept : Someone is offering to send a handwritten thank you card for you for $5. Just tell her what you want to write and she does the rest. I find that the “figuring out what to say” part is typically the most time-intensive part of the task anyway.
You can easily send a thank you card in the mail from your computer, with a few of your own pictures if you like, for just $2.99. The price goes down to as low as $1.06 (including postage) if you set up your own account. You can even write it in your own handwriting for that price! That’s quite a deal over the $5. Of course, you DO have to think of what to say, but that’s pretty much unavoidable.

I came across this thread online, debating about sending a bereavement card to a close family member. In this case, where a favorite grandmother-in-law had passed and the grandson’s wife wanted to send a card to her in-laws, a card for such a close family members seemed a little formal, but the she wanted to do something.
With close family members, although we may be present for each other during the whole difficult ordeal, what happens after the family bereavement gathering disbands and we go our separate ways? This is often when our family members need the most support.
I think a personal memory card would be the perfect solution here. A card created with sincere depth of feeling, expressing your own grief as well a support for other family member. A card full of happy and family-filled pictures, commemorating the life of the loved one, rather than focusing on the sad feelings. You could mention humorous memories or stories, mention what you’ll miss the most about the person, or whatever you feel best commemorates your loved one’s life. A card will stay around over time. They can look at it for that dose of happy times whenever necessary, perhaps several times a day after the family has disbanded.
What a fitting tribute for your passed loved one AND active support for your family!

I came across a website today about a class reunion Save the Date card. Since my 25th high school reunion is coming up in less than a month (gulp!), I thought it would be fun to come up with a postcard about our reunion. I had fun going out to our class Facebook page to find some old pictures to include. That’s always fun for a reunion!
- First, I got a copy of our senior class picture. Although too small to make anyone out, it still works for the purposes of my postcard.
- Next, I got a copy of our school mascot.
- I also managed to find an old picture of our class president, on whose farm the main reunion event will be held.
These pictures, along with some fun and interesting pieces of paper, thumb tacks, and frames, added up to a super cool Reunion Postcard that I can share with organizers as a small thank you for all their hard work!
This entire postcard (with your own fun pictures, of course) can be created entirely online from your own computer with no special software. It can also be professionally printed and mailed to anyone in the world, also entirely from your own computer. Try creating your own Reunion Save the Date card right here!
