The festive season is almost upon us, and along with the usual stacks of wedding invitations one is about to be deluged with, there is also the matter of personalized stationary to take into account.

Personalized stationary and gifting cards have become popular of late, seeing as they add the perfect amount of sentiment and elevate the process of gifting.

A variety of creative processes such as raw paper, gold foiling, and calligraphy has raised the industry standard and brought forth many more businesses to the realm.
