How It Works

A WRITE TO YOUR FRIENDS® card is half card, half postcard. The postcard is ready for your friends to tear off and write back!

Every pack has four cards and four envelopes. Each card has a reply postcard built in.

Write, draw, erase, scratch out, put it on paper. The inside left panel and the outside face of the card are yours to express yourself and share what you want.

1. Write your letter

Step 1: writing a letter inside a Write to Your Friends card

The inside left panel is yours to express yourself with words, doodles, drawings. The real you.

2. Make the front yours

Step 2: card with hand-drawn stars on the front sliding into its envelope

The front is yours as well. Continue the words, ask the hard question.

Thinking about them? Missing them? What prompted the card, envelope, and pen? Write it, draw it, ask it.

3. Send it

Step 3: pressing a stamp onto the addressed envelope

Step 4: handing the sealed W2YF envelope to a friend

When you’re done or the space is filled, put the card in the envelope, add a stamp, and send it. Put up the red flag, hand it to the carrier, or drop it in the blue box.

4. Mail received

Step 5: an opened envelope and handwritten letter on a desk

Your friend gets mail, hand addressed. Excitement, anticipation, touch of anxiety. Importance, permanence, meaning. Presence required.

5. Tear along the fold

Step 6: the torn card halves, handwritten letter on the left and blank reply postcard on the right

Step 7: a handwritten reply on the tear-off postcard

Step 7: a hand-drawn reply on the tear-off postcard

Step 8: placing a stamp on the addressed reply postcard

What's your reaction? What do you feel? Tear the card along the perforated fold and on the postcard, write it down, draw it, mark it up, address it, stamp it, and reply. Authentically.
