Take a break from texting and emailing - put pen to paper and celebrate World Letter Writing Day with heartfelt words and beautiful stationery!
Get ready to celebrate the power of the written word and the joy of letter writing on World Letter Writing Day, September 1! This day has been around since 2002, when it was first created to encourage people everywhere to take a break from technology and reconnect with friends, family or even strangers through a handwritten letter. It's also an opportunity for us all to put pen-to-paper in order to document our thoughts and feelings, while expressing ourselves in creative ways.
Write a letter to someone special and let them know how much they mean to you. It could be your best friend, a family member or even someone you haven’t spoken to in years.
Go out and buy some postcards from your local store, then write short messages on each one and send it off to your friends, family and even strangers. If you want to make it extra special, get some vintage postcards or use nice stationary.
Are you looking for a new way to stay in touch with people? Organize a pen pal exchange! You can find people through social media, online forums, or even through your local newspaper.
Make your own stationery set! Print out some fun designs on cardstock paper, cut them into shapes, glue them together and add some stickers for a unique look. Now your letters will stand out.
Invite your friends over and host a letter writing party! Bring out some snacks and drinks, grab some supplies like envelopes, stamps, paper and pens and start writing. Not only will this be fun but it’s also an opportunity to catch up with friends.
With the advent of emails, text messages, and instant messaging systems, many people have forgotten how rewarding it can be to write a letter by hand. World Letter Writing Day celebrates this lost form of communication and encourages us to pick up the pen and start writing!
When you take the time to write a letter, you show your friends and family that you are truly thinking of them. A hand written missive says so much more than an impersonal email or text message. The gesture speaks volumes about the importance of those relationships!
Writing letters can also be great way to preserve important memories. Having physical copies of your correspondence allows you to go back in time and relive the special moments that made up your life. On World Letter Writing Day, make sure you take the time to read some of your old notes and reminisce - it will bring a smile to your face!
