THE HANDWRITTEN CARD SERVICE

Handwritten Thank You Cards. Your Handwriting. Our Pen.

Real pen-on-paper cards, written in a custom font made from your actual handwriting, and mailed for you. One card or five hundred, every single one is written with a real pen.

THE PROBLEM

The thank-you problem

The stack of cards you keep meaning to write.

Wedding gifts, client wins, kindnesses big and small. The gratitude is real. The free evening to write forty cards is not, and every week the stack gets quieter and heavier.

Printed "handwriting" fools no one.

You've gotten one: the card in suspiciously perfect script, the pixelated characters, flat as a receipt. You knew in two seconds. So will everyone you send one to.

Gratitude deserves better than your third-best effort.

The people you want to thank showed up for you. The thank-you shouldn't be the corner you cut, and it shouldn't cost you a weekend to do it either.

Your handwriting. Not "A" handwriting.

Most handwritten card services rent you a stranger's script, the same fonts, on thousands of other people's cards. We built the opposite: a ten-minute sample turns your real handwriting, loops, slants, crossed t's and all, into a private font only you can use. Then a machine holding a real ballpoint pen writes every card in it.

Pen, ink, cardstock, done.

Every card is written with a real pen on heavyweight 350gsm cardstock, with a handwritten envelope, a verified address, and a forever stamp. You write the message once on a screen. It arrives as ink somebody can feel.

The ink catches the light differently in every stroke, because it's really ink. The pen indents the card stock, like a person actually would. The human flaws are what make our cards authentic.

THE PLAN

How the handwritten card service works

1

Turn your handwriting into a font.

One guided sample, on paper or a tablet, about ten minutes. Your private font costs nothing. Elsewhere, custom handwriting fonts run $1,500.

2

Design your card, write your message.

Pick a design or upload your own photo. Type your message and watch it appear in your handwriting. Send one card, or upload a list and personalize hundreds with merge fields.

3

We write it in pen and mail it.

A pen machine writes your card and envelope, the address is verified, the forever stamp goes on, and it's in the mail. Most cards ship within days.

What makes it different

Your font is free, and it's yours alone.

Other services charge $1,500 to $2,000 for a custom handwriting font, or hand you the same twelve scripts everyone else uses. Yours is built from your hand, private to your account, at no cost.

Real pen, not pen-shaped printing.

Inkjet "handwriting" is flat, identical and pixelated. A real ballpoint pen leaves pressure, texture, and tiny variations, the things hands notice before eyes do.

One card or five hundred.

No minimums, no subscriptions. Send a single birthday thank-you today and a 300-card campaign next month, from $6 a card, everything included.

One service, every occasion

The pen doesn't care what it's thanking for. The message changes; the craft doesn't.

Wedding thank you cards. All 150 guests thanked in your handwriting, weeks after the honeymoon instead of month six.

Business thank you cards. Clients, customers, and partners, thanked at scale with your logo on the card and your handwriting inside.

Donor thank you cards. Your whole donor file thanked like major donors, in your executive director's real hand.

Real estate thank you cards. Closing cards and home anniversaries on autopilot, keeping you on the fridge where referrals happen.

Funeral thank you cards. Acknowledgments written and mailed gently, when a family has no capacity left for homework.

Unsent gratitude doesn't keep. The moment passes, and the
people who showed up for you never find out you noticed.

The card they keep

Handwritten cards get opened first, read twice, and kept. Yours arrives in an envelope addressed by hand, in writing they recognize as yours, because it is. That's the whole difference between mail and a keepsake.

Questions, answered

Are the cards really written by hand?

Yes, physically. A pen machine holds a real ballpoint pen and writes each card stroke by stroke in your custom font. No inkjet, no laser, no handwriting-style printing. You can run your thumb over the ink and feel it.

How does my handwriting become a font?

You complete one guided sample, on paper you photograph or directly on a tablet, and our system builds a private font from your real letterforms, including the quirks that make it yours. It takes about ten minutes and costs nothing.

What does a handwritten card service cost?

Cards start at $6, including the card, pen-written message, handwritten envelope, address verification, and a forever stamp. Volume pricing applies to larger sends. The custom handwriting font, which costs $1,500 or more elsewhere, is free.

Is there a minimum order or subscription?

No. Send one card. Send five hundred. There's no subscription, no monthly fee, and your font stays in your account either way.

Can I send a lot of cards at once?

Yes. Upload a list from CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets, personalize each message with merge fields, and every card is written, addressed, and mailed. It's how our business and donor customers thank hundreds of people in a week.

Will people be able to tell it wasn't written at my desk?

They'll see your handwriting, real ink, and a hand-addressed envelope. Everything they can see, touch, and recognize is genuine. Where the desk was is the one detail the card doesn't mention.

Ten minutes of handwriting. A lifetime of never having to write cards again.
