Families love it. So does Grandma!
Here's what our customers are saying:
“As a grandmother of eight very young children, Letters to Grandma warms my heart when it arrives. I see pictures and read cute stories from all of them! It brings all our children and grandchildren together as we share funny and quirky family stories. I'm so grateful to share highlights and big news and events, but even more I love to share the little milestones along the way!”
“After years of saying "keep in touch" and "see you soon," Letters to Grandma made staying connected to my family an actual reality. Reading stories and seeing pictures about my family in a nostalgic newspaper format has been very enjoyable and helps us to have better conversations and have more fun when my family gets together. Super quick and easy to use. Thank you Letters to Grandma - you absolutely "mailed" it!”
“Letters to Grandma has been such a great way to stay connected with my family, especially living far away in Florida while they're in Minnesota. I love that I can simply text updates and photos, and it turns into a beautiful monthly newsletter that keeps grandparents and the whole family feeling close and included.”
“Letters to Grandma has done something incredible. It's created a space where we all share precious little day-to-day tidbits we would otherwise miss! We already text here and there, but this does something different. Reading about my sister taking her children to the park, and then showing it to my own kids, without ANY screens, is a special family magic I didn't even know we'd been missing!”
“We live far from my kids' grandparents and cousins, so it's a sincere treat to share our updates and to read about other little moments from the rest of the family! My kids adore seeing pictures of their cousins and we still get to celebrate all the little moments with our family, even from afar. Letters to Grandma is tons of fun for cousins, aunts and uncles too!”

Everything You Need to Know Before You Start
Real answers to the questions that matter most.
Even one or two texters create something beautiful. Many of our most-loved newsletters come from just a handful of contributors - and the people receiving them don't know the difference. They just feel remembered and loved. In our experience, the first few months of newsletters in the mailbox have gotten family members texting more than most of our customers' families initially believed possible!Additionally, we do send out a reminder text message to family members a few days before the newsletter is printed, to encourage any last-minute additions to the newsletter.
Absolutely, with zero penalties or long-term commitments. We want to earn your trust month by month. Cancel anytime and you'll receive one final newsletter to complete your month - no surprise charges, ever.
It's a stunning, professionally designed full-color publication in newspaper style, featuring family stories, photos, and important dates - all created automatically from your family's texts. You'll receive it as a printed copy in the mail, via text message, and on your private family website.
100% private and completely secure. Only approved family members you invite can access messages, photos, and newsletters. Your online version is password-protected, and we never share your information with outsiders or use it for marketing.
Not at all - we handle everything automatically for you. You set it up once and watch as beautiful newsletters arrive every month with zero design effort required.
Not a thing. They don't need a smartphone, email, or internet connection. A beautiful printed newsletter arrives in their physical mailbox every single month - they just open it and read. Once your newsletter is up and running, you just give us their home address and we'll handle the rest!
The best newsletters aren't about big events - they're about small moments. A grandchild's first lost tooth. A Sunday afternoon recipe. A funny thing someone said at dinner. These are exactly the stories elderly parents and grandparents treasure most. Our system turns everyday texts into something beautiful.
You get to choose! We usually recommend scheduling the first newsletter 2 weeks from now. That gives family members time to send their first messages and photos so the newsletter has a good amount of content.
If you can send a text message, you can use Letters to Grandma! Setup takes about 5 minutes: you answer a few guided questions and we take care of everything else. No apps, no design work, no technical knowledge required - ever.
