Write Night FAQs!

You’ve got questions; we’ve got answers.

+ Should I mail each letter in an individual envelope?

You can mail them all in one big envelope. Or, if you are doing a virtual event, just have each person send their own letter directly to mailing address provided in the confirmation email.

A few days before your event, you will need to sign up for each person you'd like to write to. Mark the checkbox in the form that shows you are signing up for a Write Night. You'll be emailed the contact information and details for the recipients you choose. Be sure to wait until just before your event as those will be the current requests.

If you're a group with over 50 attendees, our process is a bit different. We'll connect with you via email.

+ Can I include contact information?

Sure, but it’s not required. Always use your best judgment when sharing personal information. This is not a pen pal service, so you’re never required to share your info.

+ What should our participants use to write on?

We've seen cards, stationary, printer paper, lined paper, anything! Whatever she's got available to write on will be perfect!

+ Our group includes boys/men. Who should they write to?

We're so glad they're writing too! We ask boys or men to a male in their lives who could use encouragement. If they can't think of anyone, other options include writing to a local hospital/clinic/grocery store to encourage them in the midst of this pandemic or writing a thank you letter to someone in their community.

+ Is our group required to donate money?

Nope! But we do operate entirely off of donations, so if you’d like to, that’s great! Donate here.

+ Can I mention religion?

If a request asks not to mention religion, we try to make sure we don't mention God/spirituality/prayer in any form. If it doesn't specify, people can definitely mention it but don't have to.

+ Will you open my letters?

Yes. Letters are reviewed.

+ Can I include stickers and small gifts?

Of course!

+ How quickly do I need to mail the letters?

Please mail them within one week of your Write Night.

+ How many recipients should I pick?

We encourage you to pick a few recipients whose stories may resonate with your attendees or share simliar ages, geographic backgrounds, etc. Keep in mind each recipient receives a bundle with 20 letters so totally okay for your attendees to write to the same person.
