5 Reasons To Hand Write Your Letters | Lipstick Heels and a Baby

We are very much in the digital age now. I find myself emailing thank you letters way too often, when I should really be hand writing and snail mailing them the old fashion way. Sending and receiving hand written cards and letters is so much more personal and will be received in a much more positive light. In a time that cards and gifts can be purchased just by sitting on your own couch, mailing these items can make it seem that much sweeter.

One of my new goals is to hand write at least one thank you card a week. Thankfully, Papyrus has made this so much easier and way more fashionable to do so. Papyrus teamed up with one of my favorite designers from NYFW, Lela Rose to create beautiful, girly and fashionable templates to spill our hearts out on for one another. Papyrus has been making their presence known at NYFW for the past 9 years so it makes sense they would team up with one of the best designers, Lela Rose to make upscale greeting cards that are easy to get our hands on!

Just incase you still aren’t completely sold on the idea of writing hand written cards. I have created the ultimate list below of why you should!

1. Everyone Loves Surprises In The Mail.

I do not care who you are. Everyone loves the feeling of getting something pretty and sweet in the mail. It is a sweet and affordable surprise that can brighten up anyones day. Why not make it a point to brighten at least one persons day a week! I am sure the favor will be returned.

2. It Becomes a Keepsake.

There are not many cards that I have received that I haven’t kept. There are even a few over the years that have meant so much to me I have even added them to a photo album or framed them. They are so much more sentimental than an e-card or email!

3. Another Way To Show You Care.

We all know that sending flowers or a gift, visits with family and friends, and more can show you care. Sending a card is an unexpected and extremely easy way to say I love you, you mean a lot to me or Thank you to anyone in your life. Trust me, it will also make your own soul feel good as well.

4. Should Not Be Considered Old School.

Snail mail has been around so long because it is tried and true. It is a classy way to say I am thinking about you opposed to a Facebook message or tweet out to the world. It shouldn’t be considered the old school way to connect with others.

5. It Confirms the Importance of a Relationship.

Sending a letter by mail confirms that you were and are thinking about that person. Wether they are going through a rough time, just got a promotion or simply you just want to say I miss you or care about you. It is always great because when that friend is going through a hard time later, they can always pull out our card and be reminded of how special they are to you.
