2025 Letter Writing Meet Ups

Outgoing mail from a Letter Writing Meet Up

We’re big believers in what you give, you get. Isn't it nice to spread goodwill, gratitude and a few warm fuzzies? One simple way to accomplish this is with a little snail mail. 💌 Cards shouldn't be just for birthdays or special occasions. Let someone know you’re thinking of them or thank them for the small little gesture that made a difference or touched you, maybe write to a friend sharing what you admire most about them. Just a simple hello can change someone’s day for the better.

With that in mind, we're restarting our Letter Writing Meet Ups for 2025! If you don't know, we started our Letter Writing Meet Ups in 2019. Letter Writing Meet Ups are the first Thursday of the month March until November. We clear off our production tables, set up typewriters, specialty pens and washi tape for you to use. Guests can shop for cards, postcards, letter sets or bring their own stationery. It's casual and social and a great way to cultivate some warm fuzzies. Plus we'll even cover postage!

Last year we hosted seven meet ups. They ranged from two guests to seven, not everyone stays the entire time. Some stop in for a quick note and other stay for an hour or more. We looked forward to them monthly. It was fun to see the same faces month to month. As always, the vintage typewriters were the stars of the evening. Last year we typically set out three and during some meet ups, people were waiting. This year we'll be getting out a couple extras just in case.

Letter Writing Meet Ups are the perfect time to grab a card and let someone know you're thinking of them or thank them for being the amazing human they are. Sit with friends and neighbors, share warm fuzzies and maybe even a drink. Type a note, write a letter, send a postcard. Plus it’s BYOB, relax with a glass of wine or beer, shop, write and enjoy. Come share the magic of snail mail with us and make someone's day!
