Why You Should Try Sending Handwritten Letters

By Anne Todd


For younger generations, communicating through handwritten letters may not be appealing at all. Writing a handwritten letter requires effort--from choosing the appropriate stationery design to finding the right kind of pen to use--as well as the skill and patience to find the right words.

But even though today's convenient tools for communication can render the art of writing letters obsolete, there are certain experiences that only writing and sending handwritten letters can offer.

For one, the act of sending a letter to a grieving mother, a graduating sibling, an expectant sister-in-law or to a distant loved one is the next best thing to personally visiting them. You can make your presence felt by your loved ones even when you are miles away from them when they receive and read your letter.

For another thing, it keeps the need for real correspondence alive. Letters could carry the sincerest sympathy message and express ardent love as well. Writing and responding to letters require more than a quick exchange of information and rather border on the need to connect with people on a more meaningful level.

Therefore, there is a more significant reason in reviving this lost art than just a misplaced sense of nostalgia. If you're interested in reviving this old form of communication, you must start writing and sending letters now. Here's a quick overview of the supplies needed for sending handwritten letters.

The stationery serves as your canvas. Stationeries come in different sizes and designs. Keeping your stationeries simple and yet distinct would help the recipient focus more on the message.

A fountain pen adds sophistication to your writing. It may take a bit of practice though before you get used to it. When you learn how to use these pens properly, you can glide it across the page without straining your hands.

It's common for a fountain pen to come in an elegant design. For instance, Dunhill namiki pens are painted with symbolic images and natural scenes using lavishly colored pigments. A Namiki pen is appreciated both by collectors and valued customers for its beautiful look and precise performance.
