Our Story

After surviving an emergency open-heart surgery in December 2017, our owner Lauren Atherton discovered the importance of kind words. She was showered with dozens of notes from caring friends and family and saw the positive affect they had on her life and recovery. She also enjoyed writing her own notes of care and encouragement as well, but had a hard time finding the right cards for each occasion.

At Pen & Promise, we know the importance of the right words at the right time. Words have the power to give life and encourage others, even in the darkest of times and we consider it an honor to help give you the right words for your biggest moments.

In each of our cards you’ll find a short Bible verse or “promise” related to the occasion. It is our hope that each of these cards helps you better connect with those you love, and gives you the courage to overcome in both good and tough times.
