We don't right now. And, agreed! We're adding it to our FAQ.

Great point. Please consider this as well: when you receive a card in the mail do you think about the person going to the store and buying the card or do you think it's special because it's a handwritten card?

At the end of the process a Felt card feels authentic. I'd love to write you one if you'd like. Just email me you address.

A much debated topic around here as well! We decided to put our logo on the back of the card (small) with "from my iPad" underneath it. Thus far the response has been "oh, cool!" (with a hint of "interesting") rather than "oh - this is crappy and cheap"

Goo idea! Not as of yet though, but it'll come for sure!

Yes, all card images are photos of actual Felt cards written using the app. So, thanks! Some are written using a finger and some are written using a stylus. We found that it comes down to personal preference. A stylus is easier for most people, but some prefer to interact using their finger.

We had the same concern so we designed each step of sending a card to be authentic - down to hand addressing the addresses on the envelope. You handwrite it all. But yes, you do skip going to the store and messing with stamps.
