Today I want to talk happy mail. Because I love happy mail! I want to chat about snail mail and share with you some free mail tag printables that you can download now.
Why send happy mail?
This is a good question, and in a time of emails, texts and social media, there are certainly easier and faster ways to communicate.
But happy mail is just that, happy. It is so much more than an email in your inbox, so much more than a quick text.
Sending a letter to someone dedicates time to them, shows them that you are thinking of them and brightens their day when it lands.
And it’s not all about the recipient either. Taking the time to slow down and pen a letter and pop some snail mail together is relaxing and enjoyable for the sender too.

What’s a mail tag?
A mail tag is a fun way to learn more about your friend.
Along with a note or letter, you include a mail tag in your post to your pen pal. This mail tag asks them questions and tags them to reply to you with their answers.
They are super simple to do and can be a great addition to your happy mail and a novel way of getting to know more about one another.
Mail tag ideas
The great thing about mail tags is that you can do absolutely anything with them.
You could theme them or make the completely random. You could complete them yourself and then ask the same questions of your pen pal. You could just throw out a list ideas for your pen pal to complete.
