A few weeks ago I received a letter from my friend Gude, I knew instantly it was from her because as the owner of I-want-that-now stationary shop The Paperdashery Gude sends prettier mail than anyone I’ve ever met. Amongst all the pretty stuff was a mail tag which, not generally sending snail mail, threw me. What on earth was a mail tag and what the heck was I mean to do with it?! Rather than stare at it blankly I invited Gude to come and write about mail tags here and she’s also created a gorgeous free summer themed mail tag for you guys – the perfect excuse to get your pens out.
What You'll Find on This Page
What is a mail tag?
Mail tag is a game played via snail mail. Essentially pen pal questions, it’s a great way for pen pals to find out more about each other and encourage return mail too.
Mail tag is a simple game to play. You write to your pen pal with a request. This is usually asking a question, but could be something else like a ticket stub, a sample of their favourite washi tape, something from nature or a used stamp.
You can request anything, within reason. Use your imagination and go wild!
