A Letter, Hand-Mailed To You
Ferrand Cards
Better Cards for Better People.
Every season I sit down with a pen, a stack of envelopes, and a list of people I care about, then I mail each one a card, just because.
The Story Behind the Cards
It started with one card.
A few years ago I sent a single birthday card to a friend who was having a rough year. The note I got back meant more to me than I expected, so I sent another. Then another.
Now Ferrand Cards is just me, a growing list of names, and a habit of sitting down before every holiday and birthday to write something real.
There is no subscription and no catch, just paper, ink, and a stamp. This site exists so the people on my list can tell me when they move, add a birthday, or let me know a card never showed up, whether that is through a quick form or a free account of their own.

How It Works
From my desk to your mailbox.
No account required, just a card in the mail. Create one any time you would like a dashboard to manage everything from.
You are on the list
If you are reading this, you are probably already one of the names in my address book, or about to be.
A card finds its way to you
Around birthdays and major holidays, I hand-write and mail a card. No printing, no bots, just me at my kitchen table.

Cards cost more than you would think.
Stamps, paper, ink, and time add up. If you would like to help cover the cost of a card for someone else, even a small amount helps.
Make sure your card finds you.
Update your address, add a birthday, or just say hello. It takes less time than writing the card did.
Thanks for being part of it. – William
