How To Cherish Your V-Cards Tomorrow!

Friday, February 14, 2014

One question our clients frequently ask is what to do with old cards. While we are the first to admit a handwritten card is one of the sweetest things you can receive, we do NOT recommend you keep all of them. It's not that we aren't sentimental, it's just that if you were to keep every card you ever received you would have upwards of 5,000+ cards. That's crazy!

That being said we are all for keeping a few that mean the most. But of course they should be NEATly organized, and limit yourself to what fits in a reasonably sized box. Here is one of our latest faves …

In honor of the upcoming LOVEly holiday, we thought it was appropriate to address how long you should keep those v-cards on display.

Our rule is that one week is long enough to embrace the sentiment. Trust us, WE wouldn't be offended if our card was tossed by next Thursday. Although I guess it might mean we won't put a whole lot of time into the homemade one we were planning on. Thankfully there is Papyrus! How cute is this card?!:

So as you are sprinkled with love tomorrow, take one extra moment to cherish the handwritten sentiments because your know their life should be short, but SWEET!
