The Family Post

Send your mum and dad a printed letter with this month's family photos.

You add a few photos from your phone and say what you have been up to. We lay it out as a letter, print it in the UK and post it to their door.

The Family Post is free and by invitation while we test it.

How it works

Each letter takes about five minutes:

  1. Add your photos

    Choose up to 20 from your phone or computer.

  2. Tell us your news

    Type it, or tap the microphone on your keyboard and say it out loud. We ask two or three questions to help you remember the good bits.

  3. Check the letter and post it

    You see the letter exactly as it will be printed, and you can change any sentence. Press one button and it goes in the post.

Here is a sample letter

This is what arrives in the post. The letter is printed in colour on both sides of the paper.

Page two of the sample letter. It ends With love from Tom, Jess, Maya and Ben, followed by four captioned family photos.

What your parents get

They get a real letter they can hold, keep and show to visitors.

  • The text is large and easy to read.
  • They do not need a phone, a computer or the internet.
  • It arrives in an envelope with their name on it, a few working days after you post it.
