The Pennie Post, where creativity meets function
If there is something I love, it is a letter in the mail from a dear friend or family member. There's something about snail mail that just sends the message that someone thought of you, and took the time to do all the ol' fashion steps, like put it in an envelope, seal it, stamp it, and mail it:)
I was literally giddy when my high school friend Lindsey shared with me her new company called The Pennie Post. Lindsey and I grew up together and since then she has gone on to study graphic design and work at a greeting card company!! Essentially, The Pennie Post is a monthly subscription where for only $11 a month, you will be sent 3+ sweet cards in the mail, all designed by Lindsey! {and i'll have you know that Lindsey is one of the most creative and innovative people I know!}
Lindsey just sent me my first 5 cards, and I am in love! The theme for the set of June cards is, "Aloha". Here is what I received:
- Hula Girl Card
- Father's Day Sea Turtles Card
-Teal Dotted Notecard
-Little Lemon Enclosure
In my excitement, I actually already gave the Teal Dotted Notecard away to a friend who just graduated! Whoops! But I snagged a picture off The Pennie Post blog so you could see that one!! Aren't they So cute!! {swoon….I know}
What I love about this subscription is that it is both creative AND functional! Cards are something we use all the time! Think about the fun of getting a surprise package each month! I've already realized that having these cards makes me more aware of who I want to give them to, and hopefully i'll be more intentional about sending love to my friends and family.
I've done a little Q&A with Linds about The Pennie Post to answer all your questions….

What part of the month do you receive your cards?
For all subscription orders placed before the first day of every month
orders will be shipped out within the first 7 days of that month. New
subscriptions placed after the first of every month will ship out
within 4 business days if stock is available. Orders placed after the
15th of the month will receive the subscription for the following
month.
I've been designing wedding and party invitations for quite some time
and I wanted to create something more focused on everyday greeting
cards. Everyone loves receiving cards, but most of us are pretty bad
when it comes to sending them out. I thought that a monthly card
subscription service would be great and would help eliminate the last
minute run to the convenience store to grab a card. It's also fun to
receive a surprise in the mail each month!
About Lindsey:
I've always loved making cards for friends and family. My love for art
and design lead me to college where I majored in Graphic Design. After
a couple of jobs, including working for a greeting card company I
decided to venture off on my own. I've been designing invites and
stationery items for my company, Elsie J for many years now and love
it! This year I was inspired to create a monthly stationery
subscription service and Pennie Post was born!
Ok dear friends... ready, set, GO sign up for this sweet monthly subscription now:) And then send me a card:) haha!!
