3 REASONS MINIMALISTS NEED PAPERLESS POST

40 invitations sent out with the click of a button...I could get used to this!

A few weeks ago, Paperless Post asked to collaborate with me.  I had never heard of them before, but after checking out their website and creating an account, I saw that I've actually used Paperless Post twice without knowing.  Once was when I RSVP'ed to a baby shower last year and another time was when I RSVP'ed for an upcoming wedding.

I was invited to Jennifer's Baby Shower
through Paperless Post!

It took me a while to choose my own invitation because there are so many cute options, but I finally made a decision, loaded my friends' email addresses and sent out 40 invitations to a Sip & Scan that I'm hosting at my place.  FYI, a Sip & Scan is basically where we eat tasty treats and get scanned with my iTOVi scanner to see where our bodies are out of balance and find out what Young Living Essential Oils and Products may help.  It's fun!  If you want to come and bring a friend, reach out to me and I'll send you an invitation through Paperless Post (since I'm officially hooked).

Here's why I LOVE Paperless Post already:

1.  One and done.  I loaded my friend's email addresses and now they're in my account, saved for next time I want to send out something cute through email, which will save me loads of time.  Now I'm thinking of all the parties and events I may want to host since the inviting part of it all doesn't seem so daunting anymore.

2.  No Post Office visit.  "I love going to the post office" said no one ever.  Paperless Post makes it so easy to pick a cute card, type up the invitation details, and click the button to send it off without driving to the post office or paying for stamps.  Saves me from having hoards of stationary and stamps laying around.

3.  Quick and easy.  People are on their phones using email, text and social media to keep in touch.  Although snail mail is thoughtful, sending a quick email invitation through Paperless Post makes it easier for people to RSVP and leave notes.  Just since sending out my email invitation and starting this blog post, I've heard back from four friends about my Sip & Scan event!

So far, I'm impressed and looking forward to using Paperless Post more in the future.  Not only will this help me planning events with family and friends, but I can already see how this can help me in my small business to provide more support for my customers.  I'm always looking for ways to work smarter, not harder, while making sure that my team feels included and encouraged.

If you often find yourself hosting and you want something quick and easy, with no paper trail, you should check out Paperless Post!
