Postmark & Prose: The Lost Art of Letter Writing, Reimagined
In a world of instant messages and disappearing texts, there’s something quietly powerful about holding a letter in your hands. A moment. A memory. A piece of someone’s heart sealed with intention.
That’s what we believe in at Postmark & Prose and it’s why we’ve brought the art of handwritten letters back to life.
✍️ So… what is Postmark & Prose?
We’re a handwritten letter service based in the Netherlands, but our love letters, birthday notes, and personal keepsakes travel all over the world; especially to places like the U.S., U.K., and Canada.
You choose your letter style, answer a few thoughtful prompts, and we take care of the rest: writing your message by hand, sealing it with wax, and sending it in a beautifully curated package that fits through any standard mailbox. No shipping headaches. Just pure, intentional emotion, delivered.
💌 Why handwritten letters?
Because they last.
Because they matter.
Because when words are written by hand, they hit differently.
At Postmark & Prose, we believe handwritten letters are meaningful gifts -for anniversaries, birthdays, long-distance relationships, moments of grief, or even just because. They’re for the people we miss, the people we love, and the people we sometimes struggle to say the right things to.
🎁 What you’ll get
Each letter comes as an experience with hand-chosen details that feel as personal as the words inside. We offer wax scents, extra notes, and gift edits, because no two messages are ever the same, and they shouldn’t be.
Whether it’s:
A long-distance gift that says “I miss you.”
A sympathy letter to comfort someone grieving
A birthday letter for your mom, dad, or best friend
Or a simple love note to say, “I see you, and I care.”
We help you craft a letter that’s deeply personal, even if writing isn’t your thing.
🌍 Who is it for?
Anyone who wants to give something real.
Something that can be held, saved, and remembered.
We’ve written letters for:
Long-distance couples
Kids away at college
Grieving friends
New parents
Secret admirers
And even people writing to themselves 💛
If you're someone who loves words or wishes you had the right ones, we’re here to help you say what matters most.
📬 Let’s bring back the magic of mail
You don’t need to be a poet.
You just need to want to say something that matters.
We’ll help you shape it, write it, seal it, and send it.
Because letters last longer than likes.
Because someone you love deserves more than a text.
Because you’ve got something beautiful to say — and we can’t wait to help you say it.

Why handwritten letters still matter
In an age of instant messages, likes, and emojis, it's easy to forget the quiet beauty of putting pen to paper. Yet, handwritten letters continue to hold a timeless charm — a deeply personal gesture that digital communication simply can't replace.
At Postmark & Prose, we believe in slow, meaningful moments. And there's nothing quite like receiving a handwritten letter created just for you.
🖋 Handwritten Letters Are Personal and Intentional
Unlike a quick text or email, a handwritten letter takes time and effort. Every word is chosen carefully. Every stroke of the pen holds emotion. The result? A letter that feels more like a personalized gift than just a message.
Whether it’s a love letter, a birthday wish, or a heartfelt farewell, the time spent writing communicates something deeper: “You matter. You’re worth the effort.”
💌 A Romantic Gift That Lasts
Flowers wilt. Chocolates are gone in a day. But a letter? A romantic letter can be tucked into a drawer, revisited years later, and read again and again. It becomes a keepsake gift, one that captures a moment in time and holds it for safekeeping.
This makes handwritten letters ideal for:
Anniversaries
Weddings
Long-distance relationships
Grief and healing
Special milestones
🌿 Slowing Down in a Fast World
We live in a world of fast replies and forgotten conversations. But slow communication is making a comeback. People are craving more depth, more meaning. A handwritten letter offers just that — a pause, a reflection, a space where emotions live on paper.
🎁 The Perfect Personalized Gift
Struggling to find a meaningful gift? A custom letter offers something unique and irreplaceable. You don’t have to be a poet to say what matters — that’s where we come in.
At Postmark & Prose, we craft beautifully written letters on your behalf, helping you express love, admiration, memory, or hope — in words and on paper.
✨ Why Letters Still Matter
They're one-of-a-kind
They make people feel seen and loved
They capture emotion better than anything digital
They become treasured keepsakes
