Send a Personal Touch: Add a Handwritten Message to Your Greeting Card

There is something gently powerful about opening a card and seeing real handwriting inside. Not typed. Not printed. Just carefully written words, chosen by someone who wanted you to feel remembered.

At Whistlefish, we believe cards are more than paper; they are moments sent through the post. That is why we now offer a handwritten message service for your chosen greeting cards, making it easier than ever to send love from a distance.

why choose a handwritten card service?

It is not about personalising the design; it is about personalising the feeling. Whether it is for a birthday, an anniversary, a new baby, or a graduation, a handwritten message brings warmth straight to the page. We have cards for every occasion here

In a world of digital pings and instant messages, a physical card slows the moment down. It makes it real.

a small detail that means a great deal

We all know the difference. A printed note is read, but a handwritten note is felt.

• The Ritual: It might be opened at the kitchen table with a cup of tea.

• The Keepsake: It might be read twice, kept in a drawer, tucked into a book, or pinned beside a mirror.

• The Intention: By choosing to add a handwritten message inside your greeting card, you are sending more than words. You are sending time, care, and intention.

perfect for every occasion

Our greeting cards are made for all of life’s moments, big and small. Now, with our online card writing service, each card carries even more heart:

• Milestones: From "congratulations on your engagement" to "welcome little one."

• Career Moves: "Sorry you’re leaving" or "happy retirement" wishes.

• Just Because: Gentle smiles, quiet comfort, or a simple "thinking of you."

Perhaps you are celebrating a pregnancy announcement or simply want to remind someone they are loved. A handwritten message allows you to say it beautifully, without rushing the moment.

how to send a card with a handwritten message

Adding a personal touch is simple and saves you a trip to the shops:

1. Choose your card: Pick from our unique Whistlefish designs. 

2. Write your words: Type your message on our website.

3. We do the rest: Your message is carefully handwritten inside the card by our team before it begins its journey.

No extra trips to the post office. No hurried handwriting at the last minute. Just a thoughtful, hand-signed card arriving ready to be opened and cherished.

because words matter

We believe in the power of small kindnesses and the comfort of familiar handwriting. A handwritten message inside a greeting card is a simple thing, but sometimes, simple things stay with us the longest.
