The Fine Print

Tennis, Anyone? Love Cards

Will you go out with me? Check box 1 for “yes,” 2 for “no,” 3 for “I’ll cool it with my current squeeze and get back to you.”

Remember when love notes weren’t all “y wont u txt me??”

Frankly, it’s about time you de-digitized your dating life; do so with the hand-printed cards by design duo Tennis, Anyone.

Sweet, line-drawn illustrations and cleverly worded messages make them just the right medium for, say, sending your mate a line of poetry or inviting your crush to a private tryst. Falling for someone big-time? One reads: “You’re so dreamy.” Or, for the bespectacled hottie down the hall, hand over a card that simply says, “Meet me in the stacks.”

Of course, for the inevitable post-breakup letter of conceit (hey, it’s cool, we all do it) there are the appropriately themed “Love Is the Devil” and “Love Stinks” options.

All a heck of a lot easier than texting, “How do I luv thee? Let me count the ways,” isn’t it?
