Long distance couples have the huge challenge of finding ways to make a large gap of time and space feel like it’s not there. This isn’t easy of course, which means most of the time we have to be creative about staying connected. Texting is fine, but after a while it gets to be just the “way” that you communicate a lot of the time -nothing too special. Emails are functional, but there’s really no spark there! One sweet way to bring some of that “physical” element back into your relationship is through the art of a Handwritten Greeting Card.

There’s nothing more personal and touching than getting a card from your s/o that they hand wrote with words straight from their heart. It’s the ultimate gift and in my experience can even be enough to make a grown man cry (or mildly emotional.)

But what if you’re a busy college student? Or you completely fail at art? Or maybe your handwriting is illegible and you’re just not comfortable writing your thoughts down by hand regardless of how sweet it’s supposed to be. Well, if you’re one of those people we have the perfect solution for you in the form of 5 websites that will mail an ornate Handwritten Greeting Cards or letter from you right to your bae -with no work from you!
