paper{less} heaven.

For those of you who don't know about Paperless Post, I'm about to blow your mind. {For those of you who do, sit back and smile!} Back in college, my roommates and I loved sending evites. We would stalk them to see who was or wasn't coming--or who had looked at it and hadn't responded yet ;) When I got my first introduction to Paperless Post two years ago, I was more than intrigued. I got an email with an envelope inside! I soon discovered a website which can best be described as the classy space to send online greetings. I love sending them out for happy hours with my girl friends--and for random occasions when someone just crosses my mind! Here are a few which I am considering for the New Year's Eve party I'm helping to plan while we're back home in Indiana to ring in 2012...

Can't you just feel the embossed letters in that one in the bottom left?! As much as I love paper, Paperless Post is a marvelous way to maintain the festive fanfare of an invitation without the enormous cost {and it saves a load of trees in the process!}. You can even pick envelope liners and other fun little extras to really increase the whole effect! Though I'm someone who saves any card she receives, I know most people don't, so this is also one way to avoid on adding to the waste paper basket ;)

I can't profess that it is free {it's not}, but the costs are down right tiny. You buy coins {25 for $5} and stamps {30 for $5}--and those are your tokens to send your pretty little electronic envelopes. {One thing to note: the more you buy, the cheaper it gets...so I tend to invest $20 or so every time I replenish my supply}. To me, it's totally worth it to bring a smile to someone's inbox...rather than just another email about today's deal on eBay. Hope this little introduction at least indulged your inner "paper geek" ;) Have a great Thursday--and I'll see you tomorrow for a Holiday Party round of Friday's Fancies!
