Call me old fashioned but……in a world that has become so high tech and the majority of people communicating via emails, twitter, the Internet, texting, Facebook and the like, the art of sending things in the mail is becoming a lost art. Don’t get me wrong I understand why folks are turning to these methods, but things like receiving First Holy Communion Invitations, Baby Shower Invitations, Wedding Invitations and Baptism Invitations as well as Thank you notes that are at least addressed and signed in a persons hand writing means a whole heck of a lot more to me and numerous other people that feel the same way.

The reason I’m bringing this up is that I received one of the prettiest Quinceanera Invitations in today’s mail that I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing and it dawned on me that it had been a long time since I’ve received any invitations in the mail and it really touched me. I’m so excited to attend a Quinceanera celebration in many moons and I’m really looking forward to going. Things have been pretty quite since the holidays have come and gone, so I’m ready for some fun and celebrate such an occasion with some awesome people that I haven’t seen in a long time.

If the price of postage stamps keep going up as frequently as they have been these last few years, I fear that I’ll never receive anything in my home mailbox. I just found out that the price of post cards went up again, which is disturbing, not that I use post cards very often, but if the post card stamps goes up then you can bet that the rest of the postage rates will be following in suite pretty soon. I hear that Saturday mail delivery will soon be a thing of the past, but if that is what it will take to help keep the price of postage down then I’m all for that change. Basically all I get in the mail is junk mail and/or bills so not receiving these items on Saturdays is no big loss for me at all.
