Major Considerations When Buying Masonic Greeting Cards

By Alta Alexander


Saying some words or congratulations, greetings and encouragement has long been a tradition to many culture as means to express appreciation and thanksgiving. Any special gathering has its own set of special greetings. If you are someone who is attending one special event, then preparing a special message for the object of the gathering is important.

You can always say it verbally. But there are other methods that are considered to be more intimate and heartfelt by others. Writing down the message is among this. Masonic greeting cards are among those items which can be excellent pieces to contain the message that you want to say. If the person is a mason, then this most appropriate.

Good things is, you do not have to do this by yourself. There are many online shops selling various kinds of cards with all those varied designs. All you need to do is to select which among them would you like to have. Before buying anything though, take time to check the following first.

Masonry symbol. This is the most important component that you can have on your card. If you want an identifier about masonry, then the symbol of the brotherhood has to be present on the page. This is what will set apart this type of card to the rest.

Text. This refers to the font style and at the same time the content of the message. There is no rule as to how you would like to say what you mean. You can write whatever you mean. There are cards however that already have a custom phrase or sentence included in the piece, one that serves as the motto of the group. If its written in foreign language, ask what it means and its significance to the masons.

Size. There are different sizes to cater the different specifications of the users. Of course, if you are planning to write a longer message, then having a bigger one that has enough space where you can write down things is important. If a single sentence or short text is all you need, then a smaller one will be fine.

Relevant symbols. This refers to other logos of organizations, charities and groups that the person is affiliated to. If they are a member of an academic institution for instance, you can include the logo of the school inside it. This will add another layer of formality to the letter. Needless to say, you have to consider the positioning of those symbols to make sure that they do not destroy the entire design.

Quality of paper. There are thick papers and there are those that are thin. Some are glossy while others have rough finish. Consider the writings that you will do when you select the paper. There are those which do not really dwell good with an ordinary ink. For an intricately designed item, having a thicker paper is better.

You can always make some greeting cards by yourself. But if you want to find a good one faster, then selecting from the custom designs available online is a good way to start. Think of the design that you want and see if any of the available ones are there.
