A community for people who want to send more cards.

I know it can be really hard to find the time to sit down and write a thoughtful note to someone we love, especially when it's so easy to text, DM, email, or call, or... not.

But we all know how much it means to receive a card, and how it can totally make someone's day – especially when it's a card that hits ju-uuust right.

I'm Sarah Weeger. This is why I founded my greeting card company, Hey Weegs, and JUST SEND THE DAMN CARD: a community for those who want to send more cards.

I know I'm biased but honestly, this community is one of the best on the entire planet. Think about it: it's made up entirely of people who want to take time out of their busy schedules to sit down and write more actual cards to those they care about. How cool is that?!

I'm so thrilled you're our newest member.

Workshop FAQs

What do I bring?
Your full self (camera on, please), something to write with, and your stash of cards! Bonus points if you come ready with a list of names of people who've been on your mind lately that you might want to send a card to, but this isn't necessary.

How long is each workshop?
Plan for about an hour. But bail any time you need to; it's super casual.

So what do we do exactly, just log in and everyone starts writing?
Ohhhh no. :) I'm way too much of a control freak for that. I come prepared to each workshop with specific prompts for everyone to follow along with. If they want.

Prompts? Like what?
In the past, we've done prompts for cards to give to coworkers, relatives, besties, partners, neighbors we don't know as well, doctors, teachers, admins, contractors, friends... It just depends! So I might kick things off by saying something like, "See who's birthday is next on your calendar. Let's write a card to them." And then I'll share ideas on what to write as a starting point. That way, it takes the brain work out of writing and yet your messages will always be your own.

How many cards are we going to write?
Most people write at least 3 (since I usually do about 3 prompts each workshop), while others have written up to a dozen before. It just depends. You can closely follow the prompts or simply login, tune me/our group out for an hour, and just write. Honestly, it's whatever works for you! I'm simply here to help facilitate and get your cards out of your stash and into the hands of others, where they belong.

If I miss the workshop, will there be a replay?
No, sorry. Because these workshops are free, and honestly, because I think most of us have never watched a workshop replay in our lives, we're keeping it simple.

Do I need Hey Weegs cards in order to participate?
Nope! Not at all. In fact, I often tell people: Come with ANY cards; come with napkins, or scraps of paper even – just something to write little love notes on. The point of this is that we sit down and carve out time during our increasingly fast-paced lives to make sure our people how we feel about them. If that's with a Hey Weegs card, amazing, and I so appreciate it, but if not, that's also amazing.
