When Should You Send Handwritten Letters?

By Anne Todd


Today's generation rarely communicate through handwritten letters. Writing and sending handwritten letters takes time and effort, the main reason that makes this form of communication less attractive when compared with the convenience brought by modern communication tools.

But even though today's convenient tools for communication can render the art of writing letters obsolete, there are particular experiences that only exchanging of handwritten letters can offer.

For one, sending a letter to a grieving mother, a graduating brother, an expectant sister-in-law or to a distant loved one is the next best thing to showing up at their doorstep. You can make your presence felt by your friends and family even when you are miles away from them when they receive and read your letter.

For another thing, it keeps the need for real correspondence alive. Letters contain sincere messages, and that is why it is hard not to respond to them and share information back with equal trust.

Hence, it's clear that there is a more significant reason in reviving this lost art than a misplaced sense of nostalgia. If you are wondering how it feels like receiving a handwritten letter, you have to start writing and sending letters now. For you to start right, here is a quick overview of the supplies needed for sending handwritten letters.

The stationery serves as your canvas. Stationeries come in different sizes and designs. Keeping your stationeries simple and yet distinct would help the recipient focus more on the message.

A fountain pen adds sophistication to your writing. It may take a bit of practice though before you get used to it. And when you do, you can glide a fountain pen across the page without straining your hands.

It's common for a fountain pen to have an elegant design. For instance, Dunhill namiki pens are painted with natural scenes and other symbolic images using lavishly colored pigments. A Namiki pen is appreciated both by collectors and valued clients for its beautiful design and precise performance.
