    I have two kinds of cards. Those I use for business and those I use socially. My social cards (45mm x 75mm) are slightly smaller than my business cards (50mm x 90mm).

    The social card is plain white, and has my name centered in the middle of the card. In the lower left hand corner is my address on three lines. In the lower right hand corner is my telephone number, and below that, my personal email address. (I detest this addition-- a concession to modernity-- but is saves having to write it out for the numpties who refuse to write a proper letter.)

    "Mister" (Mr.) is never used on a social card:

    Mr. Jock McDoodlesack is wrong;

    Jock McDoodlesack is correct.

    Esquire (Esq.) is only properly used by armigers:

    Jock McDoodlesack, Esq.

    Those with territorial designations use them in place of Esquire:

    Jock McDoodlesack of Gracenote.

    Clanfolk do not display the buckle and strap on their social cards as the cards are not the property of their Chief.

    There are separate conventions for those in the military, or who are retired from the military, and a check with the appropriate source ("The Officer's Guide", or similar) will steer you in the right direction regarding the customs of your branch of service.
