#60 Get letterpress business cards made

I’ve never been particularly proud to hand out my business cards for two reasons:

Reason No. 1: The first batch I ever made—the ones from WHCC that I was so happy to order, thinking they’d be perfect, until I realized the font I’d used was so teeny you’d need a microscope to even make out my name. Reason No. 2: The cards from Moo.com. The ones with words big enough to read, but not, apparently, all on the page thanks to a goof with the margins. So you could imagine how nervous I was to get new business cards made. And not just any kind of card, friends. No, we’re talking LETTERPRESS CARDS. THE BE-ALL, END-ALL OF BUSINESS CARDS.

If there were such a thing as The Paper Gods, I’m convinced they’d pass a creed that only letterpress be used for invitations to their soirees. And I’ve coveted something letterpress of my own for long enough that, once I found a company I felt good about and was a cost-effective option, I decided to pull the trigger, aim for the third time being the charm, and get my own simple, classy letterpress business cards made.

So thanks to The Mandate Press for making me a VERY happy girl with these new cards. And I’ll just give y’all a heads-up in advance that these business cards are ones I happen to be VERY PROUD OF. Which means you might be getting one of ‘em thrust into your hand if and when I meet you because I love ‘em that much. This includes you, Mr. Postman.
