I heart enclosure cards. They are great to grab and go on the way out the door to the birthday party. I have my kids write a small sentiment on the back and voilà; you have a cute personalized card for any occasion. And, if you know me, you know that we are often running out the door to one birthday party or the other. We had two this weekend. These enclosures came in handy for both events. –And you know what events these kids birthday parties are turning into.–
The enclosure card is a not-so-distant cousin the the carte-de-visite or calling cards of yesteryear. And, I love yesteryear… Not that I want to go back in time, but I appreciate things that are classic or timeless. I want to savor some of these time-honored/tested/worn traditions. {And that doesn’t mean that everything that is old should be saved either… you can probably think of dozen of ridiculous traditions that we should do away with, but you can ponder that later.}
In our age of smartphones and speed-dialing, I forget my friends’ and family’s phone numbers or even how to spell their name. It seems like my smartphone is making me less smart {or at least less attentive to others’ personal details.}
So, in lieu of spending hours pondering a card at the store, print and enjoy this freebie. {Each card measures 3.5″x2″ • the same as a business card.} In Acrobat Reader, you can personalize them and then print as many as you’d like. But first, you need the font. I printed mine on watercolor paper, but they would work just as well on standard cardstock. They are available in two fairly unisex colors.

Enjoy.
