Ask them along.

For the launch, the dinner or the private view. An invitation in real ink, written to them by name, says they were chosen, not added to a list.

Its cover: “Salt and Light”, a private view of new paintings by Iris Calloway. Inside the cover: RSVP by Monday 16 November.

Dear Amelia, I would love you to join us for the private view. Iris will be there, and so will a very good Burgundy. Do bring a friend. Warmly, Clara

Everyone reads their letters.

What to write.

An invitation to start from. The blanks fill in from each guest’s row on your list, so every one says who they’ll meet.

Dear first name,

We are having a few people over to celebrate, and it would not be the same without you.

Who they’ll meet will be there too, and I think you would get on.

Do bring someone. All the details are inside.

With warm wishes,

Your name

Make it theirs.

  • Say why them. A line on why you thought of them, or who else will be there.
  • Print the details. The date, the place and how to reply go in print inside the cover, so the ink can be the invitation.
  • Make replying easy. An email, a phone number or a code to scan, printed where they’ll see it.

Write with AI.

Or let your assistant write every one. Connect Very Good Letter to Claude, ChatGPT or Grok, ask in plain words, and it writes each person a letter of their own.

An assistant writing one of these letters: Using Very Good Letter, write an invitation to our private view for each guest on this list. Check what each one has bought from us and add a line on why they will love it. Show me every invitation and the price before ordering. Checking your CRM: Amelia Hart bought one of Iris Calloway’s paintings. Checking the evening: Iris will be at the private view. So will a very good Burgundy. Writing Amelia’s invitation: Tells her Iris will be there, and asks her to bring a friend. Dear Amelia, I would love you to join us for the private view. Iris will be there, and so will a very good Burgundy. Amelia’s invitation, ready for you to check.
  • It does the reading. Ask it to check your CRM, your orders and the news first, and it writes every letter from what it finds.
  • Every letter its own. Not a template with a name dropped in: each one written from greeting to sign-off for the person who opens it, and sized to fit.
  • Nothing goes without you. It can show you every letter, who it’s to and the price before anything is ordered. It orders only when you say yes.

Fair questions.

Can each invitation be different?
Yes. Each guest’s name, and anything else on your list, goes into their invitation in the same ink as the rest.
Where do the date and RSVP go?
In print, inside the cover, with your design. The ink is for the invitation itself.
Who writes the letters?
Written by robots. Unquestionably human. Real fountain pens, real ink, real paper. Just a steadier hand than ours. Nib, our handwriting model, guides each pen, in twelve styles from loose to neat.
What does it cost?
You pay in credits. A standard letter is 7 credits, envelope, stamp and postage included: from £3.25 a letter before VAT. See the prices.
