Welcome to the official blog of BeeYond Paper!

Away from your sweetheart this Valentine’s Day? There’s still a way to make sure they see your smiling face: send a photo card! With beautiful printing quality on heavy cardstock and backside personalization available, it’ll be almost like being there. The people you love will surely feel special receiving an old fashioned love letter with a modern twist.

In our digital age, the art of love letters has certainly been lost but this simple romantic gesture can rekindle an age-old tradition, a romance, or even just a long-distance friendship, and making a love letter a keepsake adds even more meaning.

There are a few ways to make sure that your letter is memorable and worth keeping: First, include the date and the year; this will be fun to look back on in years to come and will help in remembering where your relationship with this person was at a particular moment in time. Presentation is also important so take care to give your love letter and photo cards extra flare so it is a one-of-a-kind. You can do this by adding a stylish personalized color label to the outside or even colored envelopes. A photo card will be something they can display all year and remember in years to come.

The holidays are over and it’s finally time to relax. Except – maybe this would have all been a little bit easier had you been prepared ahead of time. In 2010, make life easier on yourself and pledge to be prepared for any events coming up this year.

Pick Invites Early

While you might not want to send out invitations to an event to far in advance, it’s never too early to decide on an invitation. Whether you have a corporate party, cocktail event, or a child’s birthday, there are nearly limitless invitation possibilities available for each that you could buy ahead of time and customize later. This can apply to more than invitations, too. Keeping a stock of any all-purpose cards, especially thank you cards can really save you stress in a pinch. One way to keep track of all these extra cards would be to have a box with labeled sections; for example, “birthday cards,” “thank you,” “thinking of you,” etc.

Don’t Forget the Favors

When planning an event, sometimes it’s easy to forget favors. Be sure to thank your guests for coming with something as simple as customized candies. Choose a seasonal or festive container for mints to have for your guests with their place settings, and they’ll be sure to remember your party (and you’ll be glad you remembered those favors!).

So whatever events you have coming up this year, don’t wait until the last minute! Be prepared this year and make 2010 memorable and stress-free.
