Tips for a neat handwritten card
- Draft first. Write on scrap paper, then copy it out.
- Use ruled guide lines underneath the card so your lines stay straight.
- Take your time. Slow, even strokes look better than fast ones. Our 15-minute handwriting routine can help.
- Sign clearly. Learn how to make a good signature.
