Question

Can I print a message inside the card or should it be handwritten?

Answer

Handwriting is always more personal and is the right call for close relationships, but printing has a place when the volume is high.

  • Handwrite notes to family, close friends, and anyone the message should feel intimate to.
  • Print a base message when you are sending dozens of cards, such as after a wedding.
  • Combine both by printing a shared greeting and adding a handwritten line or two per person.

Folded cards make this hybrid approach easy, since the open interior gives you room for a printed message on one panel and a handwritten note on the other.
