Every mom does stationery differently. We’ve got the monogrammed set from the wedding, our own personalized note cards with just our name, and the family stationery we keep on hand for all occasions, usable by anyone in the family.

But don’t leave out your kids! As the children grow and become more independent and better writers, they’ll need their own stationery and thank you cards. Letter-writing may seem like a quaint relic of the past, save for sleep-away summer camp, but kids still have occasions that demand thank you notes. Birthday presents, holiday and other special occasion gifts come to mind.

The style of stationery you choose for yourself and your children is, of course, entirely up to you. We like the idea of letting your children’s stationery grow as they do, so we’ve made some suggestions for different styles of thank you note cards to use at different ages:

Fill-in-the-blank Thank You Cards

Perfect for the youngest writers just forming letters or sounding out their spelling. Pre-schoolers and Kindergarteners will enjoy practicing writing the gift giver’s name, the item that was given, and signing their own name. These cards are so easy, and sources like The PolkaDot Princess have so many adorable designs you can customize with your child’s initials or name.

Personalized Note Cards

For the elementary-age school kids, personalize note cards using the child’s name first name printed in an artful font in a color they choose.  Additional design isn’t really necessary, but you could further personalize the cards by adding a photo.

Monogrammed Stationery

For older children, stationery with their full and proper three-initial monogrammed is a nice way to bring them into young adulthood. A single first-name initial also makes for a more sophisticated monogram, but is better reserved for more personal, intimate correspondence than would be appropriate for thank you cards in general.
