You wanted a better way to organize your address book and we listened! The new groups feature is here and it’s especially handy if you’re planning your wedding or any event like a baby shower.

Ok so maybe you’re not quite ready to have a real life human baby of your own. Totally cool. But you did just commit yourself to a brand stinkin’ new little pup. And you swear it’s the most adorable little creature since… well, ever. We get it. Why not share it with the world? After all, your other friends have been mailing your their own arrivals for months, why not do the same. So what if your arrival is a bit furrier? It counts, right?
Have you made the greatest decision of your life yet by creating your very own free address book? Ok, we lied. It’s probably not the greatest decision… That award goes to investing in a lifetime supply of donut deliveries.

Is your significant other far away for Valentine’s Day!? Long distance relationships are hard AF and we’re not going to pretend to know much about them. We will, however, say this: sending Valentine’s Day cards for long distance relationships can’t hurt. More than likely, it’ll help make the two of you feel closer together. So, don’t forget to send them a little reminder that you’re thinking of them. No, not a text message. Pick a card that speaks to the nature of your relationship (like a long distance love affair) and write a personal message filled with all sorts of loving goodness. Not sure what to write? It’s cool — we’ll have a few tips below to get your romantic wheels turning.
Everyone knows the holidays are a popular time for engagements (and if you didn’t know, now you do). The cozy fireplace, the comfort of family, fluffy white snow, all that new year champagne! The romance is practically suffocating… unless you’ve gotten engaged. It was the loveliest time of the year and many of you out there probably have a new shiny ring on your fingers that wasn’t there just a couple of months ago. CONGRATULATIONS! The time post-proposal (if you can get yourself to stop thinking about it for a minute) can be a tad overwhelming, we know. The endless questions of when, what, and how don’t quite do the trick when it comes to calming those nerves. Of course, you’re excited. Who wouldn’t be?! But sometimes there comes a point where is all becomes a tad overwhelming (understatement of the year).
