Top 10 ways to connect on Valentine’s Day (or any day!)… Remanents founder Monica Anderson fears for the future of relationships. “I don’t care how plugged in you are. Text-messaging someone ‘I love you’, just isn’t the same” says Monica. During the Valentine season, everyone would admit that they enjoy looking through the mail and finding a hand-written card. Even the most wired person would put down the Blackberry and raise her hand in agreement. The trouble is, so few people feel comfortable or confident putting pen to paper. To help stimulate your inner romantic, here are some ideas for using greeting cards or notes and simple greetings to write inside… Read Valentines Day Press Release. See Sole Mates Valentine card.

Cut a wedding dress? “I do” says Remanents in the name of love… After all the anguish and joy of finding the perfect dress, few gowns ever enjoy a life beyond the wedding day. Photos and memories remain along with a gown preserved in a dark corner of a closet or attic. Remanents, the creator of high quality and high style note and greeting cards, has introduced a special way to share the beauty of a bride’s dress and extend the magic of the wedding day. Custom Couture Fabric Cards allow a bride to use extra fabric from her dress in a bridal dress greeting card. See all Bridal/Wedding Gifts and Cards. Read Wedding/Bridal Press Release
Every dress tells a story… “I went on many dates in this dress, too many actually. This was the dress I always pulled out when I wanted to impress. I looked good in this dress, maybe too good. My mom always said you have to kiss a lot of toads to find the one. I felt like I went through the entire pond. I thought I would get lucky in this dress…funny how things turn out." Find on how it turned out on the back of Remanent’s Style Diaries Valentine’s day card and see the actual dress imbedded in this limited edition card. See Helene's Dress Valentine Card. Read Style Diaries Press Release
An environmental activist elf? The story is on a greeting card…“Being an elf is all about the shoes. Not everybody can feel good in a pair of green felt shoes with bells, but the first time I put them on--I was home. They are really quite comfortable, even more so than my Birkenstocks. The way they curl back towards my foot makes it so you never stub a toe. And they are green, and being green is very good. Global Warming has become a serious issue here at the North Pole. Just mention of the word “melting” in these parts causes an uprising. The elves are all cutting back in lots of ways to keep those glaciers intact. And on a fashion note, the curved shape of the elf shoe is perfect for hugging poles!” This is the story on the back of Remanents new Holiday Style Diaries greeting card with the fabric from “Emerson’s” (who is described as an ‘Elf, Activist, and Shoe Lover) shoes. See Enviornmental Elf. Read Style Diaries Press Release
Innovative printing creates stunning Couture Fabric Cards…Visit a greeting card store. Take a look around. You may see some cards with glitter, some with bows, and perhaps some with fabric, but they will all be glued to the top of the card. Remanents has found an innovative printing and assembly process that embeds the fabric into the card. The look is clean and stunning. These cards make a definite impression…See example with Houndstooth Bag. Read Couture Notecards Press Release |

TESTIMONIALS:
I feel that note writing is such an important duty, so I want share my favorite on-line stationery source: www.remanents.com. I like making people laugh and the clever, over-the-top witty puns on these notecards always put a smile on my friend’s faces. These cards are ideal for your own note writing and they make an adorable gift as well.
Ceslie Armstrong, Editor-in-chief, www.ceslie.com
Very cool notecards at Remanents. I also like these tees, especially the "every girl needs a good stud" tee! And how cute are these notecard tins? They also have cool gift sets you don't want to miss.

The hunt for the ‘very best’ holiday card can be a long one, but it’s a journey well worth taking
"Avant Card had goo-gobs of cards, individual and boxed. They had even more of the die-cut, pink and green whimsy with a graphic aesthetic, plus a variety of New Year’s cards (including revelers in a Cubist style). My favorite was of a slipper and underneath the expression "Yule Mule", by Remanents, $4.50 each."
Wanda Ravernell at the San Francisco Cronicle. For full story see "Very Best Holiday Card" article
I recently went to a bridal shower and someone had given the bride-to-be a CD Tin from Remanents. The bride was so impressed w/ the design and detail that we passed the cards around the room and everyone raved. I’m sure most everyone at the shower will be buying Remanents cards as well. I love your site! The puns are hilarious. I especially like “My kind of man” !

The product itself is top quality. The box is solid, stylish, and comes wrapped in a big brown floppy bow. Inside you’ll find card dividers and 6 individually sealed cards. The paper is thick and has a handmade feal. The cards are matched to envelopes that range from metallic silver to translucent white.
At first we decided we would write heartfelt messages to the women in our lives making them feel loved and appreciated. Then we got a better idea, take the box to happy hour and give them to random girls in the bar.
Our first stop identified a significant problem with our plan, there weren’t many females out on the town on Sunday night. Not to be put off, we did the next best thing, we accosted our favorite waitresses.
Our messages grew wittier as the night grew later and the bar tabs grew longer. We had just as much fun coming up with the messages as we did actually delivering the cards. We started with the Bouquet of Tulips card for our happy hour waitress with the message, “We love your tulips.” Later we gave the gellato girl the Golf Shoe card with the message, “You com-cleat me.” Finally the apogee of our evening, the I Love You Heart and Sole card granted the coffee shop girl the inscription, “These shoes are dumb but I bet you have some hot ones in your closet.”
Connect with Style is available online at Remanents. Photos of our shinigans are up on flickr.

Love the way the T-shirts fit! I have ordered multiple times and your customer service is great.

I love the concept behind Remanents’ Custom Couture Fabric Cards. What could be more custom than using a piece of fabric from your own wedding or bridesmaid’s dress to help create wedding or shower invites? The Wedding Dress Custom Fabric Cards come with a self-adhesive backing that allows you to easily insert a piece of whatever fabric you’d like to create the skirt of the dress.
Remanents has swanky thank you cards for all of your shoe-obsessed bridesmaids (bottom), too, in addition to wedding invitations, gift enclosures, and place cards. By the way, they also design super cute shoe gift wrap.
From www.papercrave.com
"I received my package with all of the adorable cards! I love your products and have been using your cards for years. I am happy that I have finally found your website. I used to buy your product at Anthropologie. I will keep your email website and make sure to order often!"
Thanks,
Jessica, NYC

Remanents Press Release- excerpt
CUT A WEDDING DRESS? “I DO,” SAYS REMANENTS IN THE NAME OF LOVE
New Custom Couture Fabric Cards extend the role of a wedding’s most celebrated detail.
For immediate release
Haddonfield, NJ. June 13, 2006—The wedding planning process is rife with decisions and details, all with a heightened level of importance. But there is one detail that rises above all others—the bridal gown.
Brides put more time and thought into their wedding dress than any other part of the wedding. It’s often the first thing brides look for as soon as they become engaged, and frequently before the question is even popped. A forest of magazines is dedicated to finding the perfect dress. The wedding gown even has its own groom-dooming mythology for the poor guy who sees the dress too soon.
After all the anguish and joy of finding the perfect dress, few gowns ever enjoy a life beyond the wedding day. Photos and memories remain along with a gown preserved in a dark corner of a closet or attic.
Remanents, the creator of high quality and high style greeting cards and gifts, has introduced a special way to share the beauty of a bride’s dress and extend the magic of the wedding day.
Custom Couture Fabric Cards allow a bride to use extra fabric from her dress in a bridal dress greeting card. These cards allow a bride to share the beauty of her dress with wedding guests and others who may have not made the ceremony. The fabric can be used from surplus in the fitting process and does nothing to harm the gown’s future use by daughters or grand daughters. A companion to the custom cards is the new Couture Fabric Card line. This includes fabrics selected by Remanents and made into cards with bridal and other occasion designs. |

Monica Anderson, Owner-Remanents: The Write Words
When my husband and I were first married, he left for a month while training for his job. I have always loved beautiful cards and I tried hard to find the perfect ones to send to him and struggled for the right words. I found poems could do that for me. Love poems add intensity and emotion that we find hard to convey in our own words. It's a wonderful way to help fill a blank card. Here is one of my favorites that I used by e.e. cummings:
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go, my dear;and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
--e.e. cummings
