In the age of texting and Twitter, a handwritten thank-you note might seem provincial. When you’re used to inviting friends to a party via Evite, the lead time for “real” invitations might seem daunting. Luckily, these paper makers are here to change your mindset.

And after writing a proper love note or two on a pretty piece of card stock, you’ll never be happy with electronic communication again.
