Happy New Year, by hand.

Too late for Christmas? A New Year card arrives right when the holidays quiet down: a little sparkle on the cover, and your hopes for their year in real ink.

Order by Dec 13 for New Year’s Day (an estimate from our real writing and mailing times).

Questions

Yes. A real pen, guided by a handwriting machine, writes your New Year 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.

Not with a New Year card. It’s a warm way to catch up with everyone after the rush, and it arrives when people actually have time to read it.
