Hey y'all! Ever wanted to be a great snail mail/pen pal friend? Well I have made my own set of rules from experience. First off, if you don't know what snail mailing is i'll tell you. Snail mailing is when you sent letters or cards back and forth to a friend by mail! Usually people talk about their interests or what's going on in their life! So let's get to the "rules"!
Rule #1: You must be willing to respond to your snail mail buddy!
This is very important, because if you don't respond, how will this ever work?
Rule #2: You must have the means of getting stamps.
If you don't have stamps how will you ever mail the letter?
Rule #3: You definitely should be willing to give out your address!
If you can't do this, don't expect any snail mail buddies. If you have a P.O. Box this is perfect because it's not your actual address.
Rule #4: Everyone's address is confidential.
Never every give out someone's address. This is just so wrong on so many levels...
Rule #5: Be creative!
No one wants to receive dull mail. Be creative and ad a little color or flare to your letters! Your snail mail buddy is sure to love it!
Rule #6: Be fun!
Don't talk about boring stuff that no one wants to hear about. Be sure to find a common interest with your snail mail buddy. Then you'll be able to carry on a conversation that both of you will enjoy!
Rule #7: You should probably love to receive mail!
This one isn't a must, but it's kind of important! I love to receive mail with my name on it. It just brings me so much joy!
Rule #8: Be prompt!
Try your best not to wait a long time between receiving and then sending out your snail mail. Write back as soon as possible!
So that's all I have for right now! If you're good at the majority of these things above, I would love to have you as a snail mail buddy! Just direct message me on Instagram (@theofficialprep) and ask if I'm open for a snail mail buddy! I hope y'all enjoy these "rules" of snail mailing!
Xoxo,
Samantha
