Taylor's love affair with all things greeting cards started in 2016 and she's been a constant contributor to the Postable blog ever since. You can find her studying the art of writing the perfect thank you note when she's not designing her own cards or playing with her new kitten.
Cindy Reynolds is an artist, designer, and advertising expert based in Athens, GA that specializes in fun, illustrative, and beautiful art and design. Most days, she can be found juggling running an advertising agency with her art and design work.
We’re kind of obsessed with the talented artists that make up the Postable card collection and thought it only right to spend some time getting to know the lovely people behind the brands. We sat down (virtually, of course) with Erin McManness and got right to the point asking her some riveting questions to get the inside scoop behind her brand Paper Raven Co.

Founded in 2015, the hallmarks of the Paper Raven Co. line include heavy doses of florals, a love for hand-lettering, nods to the natural world and sincere messaging. When Erin is not illustrating, she can be found perfecting her cooking skills, hiking with her family in the Georgia wilderness or reading true crime novels.

Continue readingA wedding address collector is not the first thing you think of after the engagement ring’s initial debut. But collecting wedding guests’ addresses can easily become the bane of your wedding planning existence unless of course you have an easy little tool. Getting engaged to your forever partner in crime means an endless stream of congratulatory texts, Facebook messages and the periodic (and far more personal) congratulations cards. You may have chosen to plan an engagement party or kept the celebrations between just a select few (for now). Either way, the real planning hasn’t quite kicked off.
To get the wedding planning started, one of the first pieces of the puzzle once you’ve narrowed down your wedding guest list will be to collect mailing addresses. Lucky for you, we’ve got an easy way to get addresses for your wedding! Actually, it’s likely the easiest part of your whole wedding planning process.
Easy to use. Private & secure. Oh and it’s absolutely FREE!

Should kids send thank you cards? It’s no secret that sending thank you cards is a task every adult should be doing. Writing thank you cards for occasions like weddings and baby showers is a must. Follow up thank yous for job interviews and birthday gifts, the practice of sending business thank you cards for things like referrals, as well as the occasional thank you note for a helpful hand– these are a constant in most adults’ lives. Does that mean the skill of writing thank you notes should be taught at an early age?
Kids pick the design and write the message while Postable prints, addresses, and mails them directly to recipients.
If you don’t have graduation photos, did you even graduate? You’ve worked hard to get here already, so we did the hard part and collected 13 graduation photo ideas you can use for your graduation announcements (because we know how exciting it is to make those). Being in the business of helping grads make their way into adulthood with ease (we’re all about adulting made easy here at Postable), we thought we could be of service.
If you’ve already started to browse the web for photo inspiration, you know that there’s no such thing as one size fits all for grad photos. You don’t have to follow any set formula or rule (this isn’t college algebra). Instead, we suggest you play with your graduation photo ideas so that they match your unique sense of style and personality.
We’ve outlined some graduation photoshoot ideas with and without your formal grad attire as well as ideas for photos with and without your loved ones. Remember, play around with whatever suits you!
