  • Your words in real ink
  • A hand-addressed envelope and a real stamp

A few lines, to give you the idea

  • “I still hum your car-ride songs when I’m nervous. Thank you for every one of them.”

  • “Happy Mother’s Day to the woman who never missed a game, even in the rain.”

Questions

Yes. A real pen, guided by a handwriting machine, writes your Mother’s Day message in the handwriting style you pick, in real ink. Then it is addressed by hand, stamped and mailed for you.

Of course. Write every word yourself, start from one of the suggested messages, or tell us a little about them and we draft it for you to edit.

Each holiday has an order-by date on this page and in the banner at the top of the site, worked out from our real writing and mailing times. Order by then and it should arrive before the day. You can also pick the exact day you want it to arrive.
