Strong agree! I’m moving house atm and came across an old box of postcards sent between me and my (now) husband when we were briefly living apart. It reminded me how much I love handwritten, physical notes. And they’re not even expressing anything that deep. Versus old texts…super cool but I’m not gonna get teary eyed over them ya know?

So so so true!I have a friend that actually made a book of all the texts she exchanged with her (now) husband! I love the idea of having something physical to cherish and go back to anytime.

Thank you for being here Caitlin :)

I love this. If someone has ever written me a card, even just on a piece of notebook paper, I have kept it. I have a friend who, any time she gets a new note, she tucks it into a book to discover the next time she picks up the book.

Thank you, beautiful Nora. Whenever someone writes me a letter, you can be sure I’ll keep it forever! Tucking it into a book is such a lovely idea, renewing that sweet memory every time you find it awww

Valentino’s invitation wins hands down: not just tactile, but also to involve all the other senses and emotions. We need this!

Thanks for this piece, as always✨

I agree. I'm a card lady. I love a card. I love looking back on them and crying at all the wonderful sentiments shared with me.

I'm not gonna spend an afternoon "scrolling up" to find where you said happy birthday to me...

These things capture a moment in time.

I, too, have a wedding coming up and there is no physical invite. I hate to say, but I'm like... is this a real wedding? I sometimes forget it's happening because I don't have something on my fridge to smile back at me and remind me of the time and date. There's no aesthetic I'm consistently being reminded of...

anyway :(
