Nesting one card and envelope inside another – times seven – is creative packaging! With NestingCards® the packaging options are countless.
- One card mailed on its own, or given in person, brings a smile.
- Two cards double the opening and receiving joy.
- Three cards build suspense and allow you to tell a longer story. Or to celebrate more life events and milestones.
Like fireworks that burst open and hold smaller spiraling and squealing surprises, NestingCards elicit oohs, and ahs of delight.
- Four cards celebrate four decades of achievements. Or four years of accomplishment – think high school or college graduations. Remind the recipient about their multiple celebrations along the way to the BIG achievement.
- Five cards celebrate five decades of a marriage or turning the big 5-0. Share your favorite story of each decade of knowing the couple or the birthday celebrator.
- Six cards are fun for celebrating 60 – years of life, or of marriage. Also use six cards for someone turn 6 or 16 with a gift card tucked in the smallest card.
- Seven cards make for great story telling; for clue-giving on a treasure hunt; for pen-pal exchanges; and for wisdom sharing that becomes a keepsake in a journal, or displayed on a mantel.
Another creative packaging approach is to glue cards inside of cards and mail two, three, four, or more all in one envelope. This year’s Father’s Day card was a series of cards with messages of love and appreciation on each as each of four cards opened up on one smaller, all delivered in one envelope.
