			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.polygraphics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/invitations-samples2_sm.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1165" title="invitations-samples" src="http://www.polygraphics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/invitations-samples2_sm.jpg" alt="samples of invitations from Poly Graphics" width="350" height="273" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After reading about the bride that refuses to send thank you notes to those that gave her wedding gifts, I started to wonder&#8230; have we lost our manners?  The bride simply refused to write &#8220;thank you for the gift&#8221;. How ungrateful. Maybe she&#8217;s putting it off because it is not fun.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.polygraphics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/thank_you_note_card.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-521 alignleft" title="thank you note card" src="http://www.polygraphics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/thank_you_note_card.gif" alt="" width="200" height="137" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Is Writing Thank You Notes Painful?</strong></p>
<p>It is sometimes painful to write thank you notes. What you have got to do to get over the pain is to change shoes. Put yourself in the gift giver&#8217;s shoes. I&#8217;m sure they put some thought into your gift. If you had given them a gift instead, wouldn&#8217;t you like to know that they appreciated it?</p>
<p><strong>Show Your Appreciation</strong></p>
<p>In your thank you note tell them that you appreciated their gift. Even if you&#8217;ve returned it already, let them know you enjoyed seeing them and appreciate the thought they put into your gift.</p>
<p><strong>At A Loss for Words?</strong></p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t know what to say in your thank you note, use a trick that my grandmother taught me. When she received a gift she wasn&#8217;t sure that she liked, she&#8217;d say &#8220;Isn&#8217;t that something!&#8221;  Of course, <em>everything</em> is something!</p>
<p>Use the same trick when you write your thank you notes &#8211; write <em>your gift was really something!</em></p>
<p>Please don&#8217;t be rude. <strong>Please take the time to thank those that give you a gift.</strong></p>
<p><em>Thanks,</em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://www.polygraphics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/bob_sig_sm.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-337" title="bob_sig_sm" src="http://www.polygraphics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/bob_sig_sm.gif" alt="Bob's signature" width="75" height="34" /></a><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I stumbled upon the website <a href="http://www.targetmap.com">TargetMap.com</a> and was curious about how many places PolyGraphics.com has customers &#8211; how many towns across the nation have ordered from us.</p>
<p>After a quick database query to pull unique zip codes (if we have shipped to a zip code many times, I only got the zip code once). The total zip codes came to over 6000!</p>
<p>I fed the data to TargetMap and here&#8217;s what came out</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="Party Towns - where Poly Graphics has shipped invitations" src="http://www.polygraphics.com/graphics/misc/pg-where-we-have-shipped-vsm.jpg" alt="invitations have been sent by Poly Graphics to these places" width="479" height="324" /></p>
<p>That&#8217;s not bad for a little &#8216;ol shop in Apex, NC.</p>
<p>Can we ship some invitations to you?</p>
<p>We&#8217;d be happy to.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.polygraphics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/bob_sig_sm.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-337" title="bob_sig_sm" src="http://www.polygraphics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/bob_sig_sm.gif" alt="Bob's signature" width="75" height="34" /></a></p>
<p>P.S. Do you live outside the United States?  We&#8217;ll ship to you &#8211; via USPS Global.</p>
<p>P.P.S. You can also have personalized note cards, return address seals, response cards, and more from PolyGraphics.com</p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;">&#8220;The most valuable gift you can give to others is example.&#8221; Croft M. Pentz</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Gift Received</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Are you expecting some wonderful gifts for Christmas? Have you already received your gifts and want to express your appreciation?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">It&#8217;s great to able to thank those that gave you gifts when you opened them, but even if you did thank them in person, it is awful nice to receive a thank you note.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">And you can thank them in style with a nice handwritten thank you note.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">This will make sure that you remembered the thought and time your gift giver put into your gift.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">In the rush and craziness of Christmas, weddings, birthdays, graduations, and other gift giving occasions sometimes you forget things. Please don&#8217;t forget to thank those that gave you something.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Thank You Note Design</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Your thank you note should reflect your style.  Look for a thank you notes that have a design on them that you like – that reflects your personality.  A simple initial on the front works for some – while others like a monogram. Fun lovers might want a beach scene or colorful, whimsical design.  Take time to find a note card that says it is from you before they even open it up to read it.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>What to say?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Think about the gift and the moment you opened it. If you&#8217;ve used it already, tell a little story about it. If you haven&#8217;t used it yet, mention your anticipation about he moment you will use it.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Did you receive something that you don&#8217;t really want?  This is where it gets tricky. “Thanks for being so thoughtful” always works. My grandmother, when she had nothing to say about a gift would say “now that&#8217;s really something!”. Of course, everything is something. Without saying she loved it or hated it, she could always say it was something and the hearer could interpret what she said any way they wanted.  After a while, the family caught on and started to say the same thing when we were not sure what to say or write.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>An Example of Thank You Note Wording</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">How about:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">&#8220;Thanks Aunt Edna for the great pair of slippers, they look great and keep my feet warm while I&#8217;m walking around the house. I hope they last all year. It was wonderful celebrating Christmas with you and I look forward to seeing you again soon. Love, Billy&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Start with this and adapt it to fit the gift you received.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Writing Thank you notes can be tedious, but it is worth it. I&#8217;ve heard that some grandparents reconsider gift giving if they do not receive the proper thanks. It&#8217;s just the right thing to do.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">P.S. After you finish writing all your thank you notes, make sure to reward yourself.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">P.P.S.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How to address an envelope is something that you usually learn in elementary school in the United States, but if you don&#8217;t send mail often you can forget.</p>
<p>There are 3 parts to a properly addressed envelope.</p>
<ol>
<li>the <strong>address</strong> that the envelope is going to (To address)</li>
<li>the <strong>address</strong> that the envelope came from (Return address)</li>
<li>the <strong>stamp</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Here&#8217;s how to lay them out on the envelope:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.polygraphics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/envelope-addressing.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-746 alignright" title="envelope-addressing" src="http://www.polygraphics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/envelope-addressing.gif" alt="how to address an envelope" width="215" height="147" /></a></p>
<p>1. Put the <strong>To Address</strong> (where the envelope is going) in the center of the envelope.</p>
<p>2. Put the <strong>From Address</strong> (the sender&#8230; you, I&#8217;m guessing) on the top left corner of the envelope. You have an option on the return address to put it on the front, top left corner, or on the back, on the envelope flap. Either way is OK.</p>
<p>3. Put the <strong>stamp</strong> on the upper right corner of the envelope.<a href="http://www.polygraphics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/envelope-addressing2.gif"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-747" title="envelope-addressing2" src="http://www.polygraphics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/envelope-addressing2.gif" alt="Addressing an envelope" width="215" height="147" /></a></p>
<p>When addressing the TO address, use of Mr./Mrs./Ms. is appropriate for an adult You can optionally use the title &#8220;Master&#8221; for a young boy, &#8220;Miss&#8221; or &#8220;Ms.&#8221; for a young girl. Or, for fun, use &#8220;Princess&#8221; or &#8220;Scallywag&#8221;.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.polygraphics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/bob_sig_sm.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-337" title="bob_sig_sm" src="http://www.polygraphics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/bob_sig_sm.gif" alt="Bob" width="75" height="34" /></a></p>
<p>P.S. Poly Graphics offers printing of your return address on the back flap of  invitations, announcements, and note cards. The font used for your return address matches the font on your invitations.</p>
<p>P.P.S. If postage prices are getting to you, all designs at PolyGraphics.com are available in post card size, which has less expensive postage. Just ask for postcards when you order.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When ordering invitations from Poly Graphics you have a choice of two different types of paper.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Poly Graphics Invitation Smooth Paper up close" src="http://www.polygraphics.com/newsletter/smooth-paper-upclose.jpg" alt="smooth invitation paper up close" width="400" height="298" /></p>
<p>Our normal smooth paper or our linen paper.</p>
<p>These photos give you an idea of what the texture is like for each of these types of paper. These are zoomed-in photos &#8211; the smooth is much smoother to the touch than this photo looks. And the linen paper has the &#8220;woven&#8221; look that you see here, but the weave is not as big as it looks in this photo.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Linen invitation paper up close - from Poly Graphics" src="http://www.polygraphics.com/newsletter/linen-paper-upclose.jpg" alt="Linen invitation paper up close - from Poly Graphics" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>The linen paper is nice, has a nice feel, and comes with matching envelopes. Linen invitations and linen note cards cost 10% more than smooth invitations and smooth note cards. The linen paper and linen envelopes cost more to stock, that&#8217;s the reason for the 10% upcharge.</p>
<p>Each type of paper is also available in white or ivory (off-white, or natural) colors.</p>
<p>Let us know which you like best for your invitation order.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.polygraphics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/bob_sig_sm.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-337" title="bob_sig_sm" src="http://www.polygraphics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/bob_sig_sm.gif" alt="Bob" width="75" height="34" /></a></p>
<p>P.S. The linen paper works great for both formal invitations and informal invitations. We&#8217;ve done kids laser tag party invitations on linen paper and they look great.</p>
