Love letters on lovely paper

Paperista — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:48:12 +0000

Crane & Co. is one of our favorite and most regarded stationery companies available in our store. Dating back to 1801, they have transformed the letter-writing world many times over with their innovative printing techniques, spectacular designs, and luxurious writing papers. Receiving a letter written on Crane & Co. stationery can bring a heart to flutter. So amongst all the wonderful cards and gifts you can find at Paperista for Valentine’s Day, we thought to share a short article written by them about how to write a love letter – they must be the experts!

Love is in the air. And, hopefully, on paper. Dozens of the finest roses and boxes of the most decadent chocolate can’t top a beautifully crafted love letter. Here’s how to create an amorous ode that’ll capture her heart forever.

Be Sincere
It may seem obvious, but don’t write a love letter unless you’re, oh, in love. If you’re not in that point in your relationship yet, don’t force it — better to share your desire for a romantic trip to Paris when you actually want to take one.

You’re Not a Poet, and Know It
Keats, Wordsworth, Shakespeare. Poetry of the amorous variety should be left to the experts. Unless you’re intentionally attempting to be cheeky, there’s no need to struggle with finding a word that rhymes with “mon cheri.”

Keep It Sweet
A love letter shouldn’t read like a chapter in a romance novel. There is a time and a place for content rated for Mature Audiences, but Valentine’s Day is about love, not lust. That said, you’re not in junior high school. Hence, a love letter shouldn’t read like a chapter of a Young Adult novel, either.

Be Original
Many a lovely sonnet, movie quote, song lyric and novel has been written about love. But those are their words, not yours. If words from any of the former sources have special meaning to you and your special someone — first date, where you met, etc. — then by all means, incorporate them into your love letter in a subtle way. But if they’re just words you happened to have found while searching “love quotes” on the Internet, skip them and include something straight from the heart instead.

It’s all in the Details
If you’re writing a love letter, you’ve hopefully made many cherished memories together. A love letter should be a reminder as to why you love the recipient so. You don’t have to recount your entire first date, but rather the smaller moments — the way he eats his pasta by twirling it on his fork; the way she laughs with abandon during movies.

Make it a Looker
You’ve taken the time to craft the perfect love letter, don’t skimp on the paper and presentation. Make it a note she’ll want to tuck in her drawer and keep forever.

Paperista Awarded “Best of” Twice in 2011!

Paperista — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:45:43 +0000

We are pleased to announce that PAPERISTA was chosen in the “Best of” Issues from the fabulous MSP Magazine and Minnesota Monthly publications! Here’s the write up from Minnesota Monthly about Paperista:

The first step in setting the tone—and getting record-speed RSVPs—for a fabulous fete is to send a paper invitation. To make a bold statement that’s tempting and mysterious, but also provides strong hints at what’s to come, stop into Paperista’s new space at 50th & France in Edina and conspire with owner Antoinette Ramos to create truly couture calling cards. Paperista’s love for fonts, colors, and high-quality paper and embellishments could single-handedly put the USPS back in the black.
