Celebrate National Card & Letter Writing Month
April is National Card & Letter Writing Month—a time to pause the scrolling, close the apps, and pick up a pen instead. Whether it’s a heartfelt thank-you, a sweet note in your kid’s lunchbox, or a birthday card with a personal touch, a handwritten message always stands out.
At iDesignThat, I believe that meaningful communication deserves beautiful paper. That’s why I create personalized stationery sets that are thoughtfully made, just for you. My custom notepads and notecards add a touch of elegance (and joy!) to everyday correspondence—and they make truly thoughtful gifts, too.
Why Handwritten Notes Still Matter
There’s something special about receiving a handwritten letter in the mail. It feels personal. Intentional. Unforgettable.
A few reasons to put pen to paper:
- It helps you slow down and reflect
- It creates a keepsake your recipient can revisit
- It shows care in a way that a quick text just can’t
And let’s be honest—opening real mail is kind of magical.

What to Write (Even If You’re Not a “Writer”)
You don’t need perfect handwriting or poetic prose to make someone’s day. A short message is more than enough—especially when it’s written on a custom notepad or personalized card that feels as special as the words inside.
Try one of these simple ideas:
- “Just thinking of you—how are you doing lately?”
- “A little note to say thank you for being in my life.”
- “This made me smile and I thought of you.”
