No, tags are created as you assign them. Once you’ve used a tag, it becomes available in the dropdown menu for future use.

Is there a limit to how many tags I can assign to one contact?
There is no set limit—you can assign multiple tags to a single contact to keep your outreach flexible and segmented.

At this time, tags cannot be renamed, but you can remove them from contacts individually and apply a new one.

Will deleting a contact remove its tag from the system?
Deleting a contact removes the tag from that individual, but the tag itself will still be available for use with other contacts.

Start Your Design

Log in to your account and select “Design Your Own Card” from the card category menu.

Then:

• Choose your card size and orientation (flat or folded, portrait or landscape).
• Upload your design file as a high-resolution JPEG or PNG (300 PPI recommended).
• Do not include printer marks like trim lines, registration marks, color bars, or file names. Only upload what you want printed.

What Kind of Images Can You Use?

Your card design is completely up to you—but here are some popular ideas:

• Business Branding: Company logo, branded patterns, QR code to your site
• Personal Touch: Family photo, pet portrait, kid’s artwork
• Seasonal Designs: Fall foliage, holiday icons, fireworks, snowflakes
• Minimalist Looks: Clean typography, subtle textures, monochrome schemes
• Creative Concepts: Doodles, collages, vintage postcards, watercolor art

Pro Tip: Use the full card space—but keep important details (like text or faces) within the safe zone to avoid edge trimming. We consider the safe zone 0.375” from the bleed line (0.25” along all the edges except where the cars folds). See the attached guide for safe zone and bleed dimensions.

Save Your Design

Once uploaded, click Save. This stores your card with a blank message area. You’ll find it anytime under “My Custom Cards” in your account.

Pro Tip: If you’re creating a folded card, upload your front and back designs as separate files. The system won’t accept a single file for both sides.

Add Your Message & Send

Ready to send? Go to My Custom Cards and click “Send” (or “Bulk Send” if you’re mailing many at once). From there:

• Type your message
• Choose handwriting style
• Finalize recipient details
• Complete your order

Pro Tip: You can save time by using templates for messages you send often—great for client thank-yous, holiday notes, or appointment reminders.

Design Best Practices

• Use clear, high-resolution images for best print results.
• Make sure your design is sized properly and includes a 0.125” bleed on all edges.
• Avoid placing text or logos too close to the edges. Stay within the safe zone to ensure nothing gets cut off.
• Stick with CMYK colors for accurate print results (we don’t print in RGB or Pantone).

Bonus Ideas: How to Use Custom Cards

• Send a branded thank-you to new customers
• Celebrate team milestones with a personalized card
• Turn your artwork into a birthday card for friends and clients
• Create seasonal campaigns with festive imagery
• Use photos from an event or vacation to make memorable follow-ups

What is Test Mode?

Test Mode is a special setting on our website designed to let users simulate the ordering process without actually placing a real order. It’s a useful feature for:

• Testing our platform’s functionality
• Checking payment gateways
• Verifying that shipping addresses are saved correctly

Using Test Mode allows you to confirm your payment details and address information without making a genuine purchase.

Temporary “Charge” on Your Payment Card

If you place an order in Test Mode, you might see a temporary charge on your card statement. This is not an actual payment but a holding charge that validates your payment method. This amount will be refunded or disappear from your statement shortly after the test completes.

Important: Orders in Test Mode Are Not Processed

Any order marked as “Test” in your Past Orders section:

• Will not be fulfilled or shipped
• Exists only for testing purposes
• Is not treated as a legitimate purchase

To place a real order that gets processed and shipped, you must disable Test Mode.

How to Turn Off Test Mode

To ensure your orders are processed and delivered properly, please follow these steps to turn off Test Mode:

1. Log in to your Handwrytten account on our website.

2. Click the drop-down arrow next to your name in the top-right corner.

3. Scroll to the bottom of the menu and select “Integrations.”

4. Find the Test Mode toggle and click to disable it.

Once Test Mode is off, any orders you place will be processed normally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I place multiple test orders without any charges?
Yes, you can place multiple test orders in Test Mode. Any temporary charges are only holds and will be released automatically without actual billing.

Will test orders affect my account’s order history or analytics?
Test orders appear in your Past Orders for reference but are clearly marked as “Test” and do not affect your real order count or analytics.

Can I use Test Mode with any payment method?
Test Mode supports most standard payment methods, but some less common or regional payment options may not be fully compatible for testing purposes.

What happens if I forget to disable Test Mode before placing a real order?
If Test Mode is enabled, your order will be recorded as a test and will not be processed or shipped. You will need to disable Test Mode and place the order again.

Is there a way to receive notifications for test orders separately from real orders?
Currently, test orders are marked in your account and do not trigger fulfillment notifications. You can distinguish them by the “Test” label in your order history.

In today’s fast-moving digital world, sending a handwritten card is a thoughtful gesture that leaves a lasting impression. Whether you’re mailing a personal note or a professional message, understanding how to properly address and send a card ensures it arrives at its destination without delay.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process—or skip the hassle entirely by using Handwrytten.

Preparing the Envelope

Before mailing your card, make sure the envelope is correctly addressed. The two essential components are the return address and the recipient’s mailing address.

Return Address
Place your return address in the top left corner of the front of the envelope or centered on the back flap. This allows the postal service to return the card if it’s undeliverable.

Include:

• Full name
• Business name or building name (if applicable)
• Street address or P.O. Box
• City, State, ZIP Code

Mailing Address
Centered on the front of the envelope, the recipient’s address should follow the same structure:

• Full name (and title, if appropriate)
• Company or building name (if applicable)
• Street address or P.O. Box
• City, State, ZIP Code

 Pro Tip: Write clearly in block letters and avoid punctuation. This improves readability and helps ensure smooth processing by the postal system.

Applying Postage

The amount of postage required depends on the size, shape, weight, and destination of your card.

• Standard-size domestic mail generally requires one Forever® stamp.
• Square, oversized, or unusually shaped cards may require additional postage.
• International mail will cost more and may require specific formatting.

Not sure what postage you need? Your local post office can help—or let Handwrytten take care of it for you.

Mailing Your Card

Once addressed and stamped, your card is ready to go. You can:

• Leave it in your personal mailbox with the flag raised
• Drop it into a USPS blue collection box
• Bring it directly to your local post office for assistance or confirmation

If you’re sending a bulk mailing or want confirmation of delivery, it’s worth discussing options with a USPS representative.

How to Address a Card to a Family

Addressing a card to a family may seem straightforward, but the grammar can be tricky. Here’s a quick reference:

• Most names: Simply add an “s” (e.g., The Johnsons)
• Names ending in s, x, z, ch, or sh: Add “es” (e.g., The Martinezes, The Bushes)
• Alternative: Use “Family” instead (e.g., The Garcia Family)
• Avoid apostrophes: The Smith’s is incorrect unless you’re showing possession (e.g., The Smith’s house)

 Don’t Have the Recipient’s Mailing Address?

If you’re ready to send your message but still need the address, here are a few tips:

• Reach out directly and ask
• Search past emails, invoices, or directories
• Ask a mutual friend, family member, or colleague
• Use your map or navigation app if you’ve visited their home before
• Conduct a basic online search if it’s publicly available

Pro Tip: Handwrytten offers an Address Request Tool that makes collecting addresses effortless. Just send your personalized link, and your recipients can securely enter their mailing details—no awkward texts or guesswork required. It’s perfect for client onboarding, event planning, or any time you’re sending to a group.

At Handwrytten, we’ve combined custom robotics, thoughtful automation, and real ink to deliver a handwritten experience that’s both authentic and scalable. So what sets us apart?

Just follow the S.T.A.R.S. — Speed, Technology, Accuracy, Realism, and Support.

SPEED

We move fast—so your outreach doesn’t have to wait.

With over 200 in-house handwriting robots, Handwrytten produces more than 30,000 handwritten cards per day. Our optimized production process allows us to mail standard orders within one business day of your selected send date—even at high volume. From one-off sends to full campaigns, you can trust us to meet your deadlines with precision.

TECHNOLOGY

Seamless integrations make sending easy.

You can place orders through our website, mobile apps, or via integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot,  Zapier and more. For larger or ongoing campaigns, we offer bulk upload tools and a robust API.

Need to go beyond a note? We offer automated fulfillment, allowing you to include gift cards, business cards, or marketing inserts with every message. Whether you’re sending 50 or 50,000, the experience is smooth from start to finish.

ACCURACY

Every detail, delivered exactly as intended.

We’ve built systems that ensure every card is written accurately, matched with the correct envelope and insert, and prepared for mailing without error. Our automated process replaces manual stuffing—allowing for faster turnaround and fewer mistakes.

Plus, your cards are printed on premium stock that meets exact design specifications, so every order reflects your brand at its best.

REALISM

This isn’t a font. It’s real pen on real paper.

Unlike many competitors—including Scribeless, Postable, and Simply Written—who use laser printers to mimic handwriting, Handwrytten uses real ballpoint pens for a truly authentic, handwritten look and feel. Their output often resembles Brush Script fonts, while ours delivers the genuine imperfections and nuances that make handwriting personal.

Our proprietary technology captures natural variations in spacing, slant, and letter formation—creating beautiful, authentic-looking notes that feel truly handwritten.

Want to match your own handwriting or signature? Our design team will create a custom font and signature style for you based on a completed handwriting packet—so every note looks like it came straight from your hand.

SUPPORT

Backed by robots. Powered by people.

Our dedicated team is here to make your handwritten outreach effortless. From onboarding to execution, you’ll have access to live chat, responsive customer service, and account managers who understand your goals. Whether you’re launching a one-time campaign or managing ongoing sends, we’re here to help every step of the way.

An invitation is more than a time-and-place card—it sets the tone for the celebration. It’s a way to express pride, share excitement, and invite loved ones to join in the festivities. In this guide, we’ll break down what to include, how to personalize your wording, and examples you can use to create the perfect invitation.

Graduation Invitations vs. Announcements

Before crafting your message, know the difference:

• Graduation announcements simply share the news that someone has graduated.
• Graduation invitations specifically ask guests to attend a ceremony or party.

Pro Tip: Use announcements for distant friends and family, but send invitations to those you want to celebrate with in person.

What to Include on a Graduation Invitation

Your invitation should answer all the key questions—Who, What, When, and Where.

Who: Who is graduating?

Clearly state the graduate’s full name. If the invitation is coming from parents or guardians, mention their relationship to the graduate.
Example: “Join us in celebrating the graduation of [Graduate’s Name], Class of [Year], from [School Name].”

What: What type of graduation is it?

High school? College? Graduate school? Certification? Mention the type of achievement so guests know what’s being celebrated.
Example: “We’re excited to celebrate [Graduate’s Name], graduating with honors in [Degree Program] from [University Name]!”

When: Date and time.

Provide the ceremony or party time and date. Be clear if there are multiple events.
Example: “Join us on [Date] at [Time] for a graduation party in honor of [Graduate’s Name].”

Where: Venue and address.

Include the venue’s name and complete address.
Example: “We’ll gather at [Venue Name], [Full Address], to celebrate this special day.”

Adding Party Details

Graduation parties are all about creating a fun, memorable atmosphere. Be sure to include:

• Date and time (with any event breakdowns, such as dinner or dancing).
• Location (plus parking info if necessary).
• Dress code (if applicable).

Pro Tip: For casual parties, you can keep the wording fun and relaxed, while formal events benefit from polished language.

Making Invitations Feel Special

Beyond the details, your invitation should reflect the emotion and pride behind this accomplishment.

Show Your Pride

Example: “We couldn’t be prouder of [Graduate’s Name] for achieving this incredible milestone. Join us as we celebrate their success!”

Share Their Journey

Adding a quick personal touch about the graduate’s hard work makes your invite stand out.
Example: “After countless study sessions and unforgettable moments, [Graduate’s Name] has earned their degree! Let’s celebrate together.”

Graduation Invitation Wording Styles

Formal Invitations

Use polished, professional language for ceremonies or formal receptions.
Example: “It is with great pride that we invite you to celebrate the graduation of [Graduate’s Name] from [School/University Name]. Please join us for this special occasion.”

Casual Invitations

Keep the tone light and fun for informal parties.
Example: “It’s official—[Graduate’s Name] is a grad! Come eat, drink, and celebrate with us.”

Graduation Invitation Etiquette

To create polished, professional invites:

• Include the graduate’s name, degree, and institution.
• List all key event details (date, time, location).
• Proofread carefully for spelling or grammar errors.
• Send invitations 3–4 weeks in advance.
• Include RSVP instructions and a deadline.

RSVP Details

Make responding easy by including both a deadline and contact method.
Example: “Please RSVP by [Date] via email at [Email Address] or call [Phone Number].”

Thank-You Cards: Don’t Skip Them

After the ceremony or party, a thank-you card is a thoughtful way to show appreciation for gifts, support, or attendance.

Pro Tip: Use Handwrytten to send handwritten thank-you notes that feel as personal as the milestone itself.

Sample Graduation Invitation Wording

Formal Example:

“We are honored to invite you to celebrate the graduation of [Graduate’s Name], receiving their [Degree] from [School Name].
Date: [Date]
Time: [Time]
Location: [Venue + Address]
Please RSVP by [Date] to [Contact Info].”

Casual Example:

“Guess who’s a graduate? [Graduate’s Name]!
Join us for a party to celebrate this amazing achievement.
Date: [Date]
Time: [Time]
Location: [Venue + Address]
RSVP by [Date].”
