Social Stationery

William Arthur is offering free return address for all their social stationery through March 28th...


Posted below is an article that I recently read in the Stationery's Guild that I thought was quite fitting.


Man with Stationery seeks Woman with Pen

I came across an interesting article in today’s New York Times by Sam Roberts with the intriguing title that “More Men Marrying Better Educated, Wealthier Wives.” The gist of the article suggests that men who have sought marriage “from the standpoint of physical and mental well being” now realize that a better-educated partner can also contribute to their “economic well-being.” While this might be seen as a major evolutionary break-through in male maturity and self-realization, the “alpha female” (The Knot’s characterization of the upwardly mobile female) is unlikely to compromise her rigorous approval standards. One anonymous textile executive quoted in the article reportedly queries bar slugs and first dates with “Do you have a passport and a library card?” Gosh, that will certainly weed out the field of eligible males rather quickly and so much for “Love at first sight!”

As I have no skin in the game (married to a far smarter woman and breadwinner -a fact which she reminds me of each day), I am free to offer this advice to men whose emotional IQ is higher than their testosterone level: Buy engraved stationery and seek out a woman with an expensive pen. I might add that Crane & Co. and William Arthur have sensational personalized stationery promotions going on right now, so you can buy in cheap and score big with a personalized note to the woman of your dreams who is currently involved in an unhealthy relationship with her Blackberry. Can you imagine her reaction when she receives your hand-written note on engraved stationery? Her Facebook “friends” and “Twits” on Twitter will simply fade into oblivion proving decisively that the pen is mightier than texting.
