Raquel Hitt

A stationery obsessed Bostonian and snail mail expert.

I get your holiday cards, invitations, and thank you notes sent on time and in style.

Does this sound like you?

  • You’re busy.

  • You don’t mean to be forgetful.

  • You have every intention of being organized.

  • Yet somehow, sending mail falls to the bottom of your to-do list.

Preparing a pile of mail is an undertaking. Maybe you need an accountability partner, ideally one who loves stationery.

I’ve had a life-long love affair with mail.

In elementary school, I asked for monogrammed envelope seals as a birthday present.

In college, I forced my roommates to print holiday photo cards at CVS to mail to our sorority sisters living just a few blocks away. Over a decade later, I’m still sending “galentines” each February to this distro list of 30 women.

“Merry and Married” read the holiday card when hubby and I wed in 2016. We still stay in touch with our guest list and beyond, sending hundreds of holiday cards each season.

And so my stationery habit persists. Along the way, I earned a Masters degree in Writing & Publishing from Emerson College and became a trained copyeditor. To me, it doesn’t matter whether it’s custom letterpress or mass-produced Hallmark—why? Because snail mail creates joy wherever it lands.


Your to-do list alone:

  1. Shop for cards.

  3. Select final card design and envelope style.

  10. Buy coordinating stamps.

  11. Stuff, stamp, and seal envelopes.

  12. Mail cards!

Your to-do list with me:

  1. Select final card design and envelope style.

  2. Place order.

Raquel listens. I didn’t want a baby shower with ‘ooohs’ and ‘aaahs’ over onesies. I wasn’t really sure I wanted one at all! A brainstorm call with Raquel took me from reluctant to thrilled when she suggested my ideal shower vibe—a co-ed party at a brewery. Then, as my personal shopper, she found the perfect stationery to match: ‘a baby is brewing!’ with a blue beer mug.

I try to read one novel a week. My favorite genre is regency romance.
