Prince Albert & Princess Charlene are pretty predictable when it comes to replies. They usually send the same thing year after year, with little different wordings. But this year, Charlene's birthday reply is different than past replies.
The front of the envelope is pretty much the same as always. Except, instead of a normal letter size envelope, they used a smaller one. This reflects the new card size.
The back of Charlene's envelopes usually features her blue/green monogram. But this envelope features a plain back. Charlene's envelopes also usually match the paper used for the card. This year they don't match, but both are still nice quality.
The card is a new size, the same as the twin's birthday reply. It still features Charlene's monogram engraved at the top, along with a bi-lingual message in French & English.
The card reads:
Her Serene Highness Princess Charlène was extremely touched by the kindness shown on the occasion of Her birthday and would like to express Her sincere thanks.If we compare the card with last year's birthday reply, we will see some striking differences.
The wording of her birthday cards change year to year, but now it is written in the 3rd person, instead of from Charlene personally. They also removed the printed-on signature and the date & place from the top.
I am particularly peeved about them removing the date, as it makes it harder for people to look back and remember which birthday the reply was from.
