If there’s one thing we wish we were better at (hey, New Year’s resolution time is just around the corner!) it’s sending out greeting cards. And not just for birthdays and anniversaries, either. We can’t think of anything more fabulous than perfecting the art of surprising our loved ones—whether to say “congratulations on the promotion” or “I heard a song that made me think of you” or “please join us for a dinner party next Saturday”—with a thoughtful, personalized correspondence (read: not an email or text message). We actually have a few friends who are great at this, and well, we’ve always wanted to be those people.

But between our busy schedule and finding the perfect way to say what it is we want to say (read: not some contrived, generic piece of cardboard conveying a canned sentiment), our actions have always fallen short of our intentions. That’s why we were thrilled to discover cocodot. Touted as “the Bergdorf Goodman of evites,” cocodot is a favorite among celebrities like Christina Aguilera and Gwyneth Paltrow because it enables you to customize print and online invites and greeting cards AND manage guest lists/event details/RSVPs. You can even send them via Facebook and add your own music! True to its reputation, cocodot offers a high-end, classy aesthetic that’s completely customizable and completely sure to infuse any occasion with memorable flair. With membership options starting at a monthly rate of just $4.95 (you can also purchase an entire year for $29 and two years for $49!) we just can’t think of any reason not to try it.
