The first letter sets the mood for the elf's arrival. This pack has elf arrival letters in three tones plus a rules letter that you sign together.
✉️ What's in This Letter Pack
The pack has four pages: a cheeky, a loving, and a mysterious welcome letter, plus a rules letter called “How I live with you”. Pick one, add the name, and leave it on the first elf night. The rules letter explains in kid-friendly words how the elf lives and has space for your signatures.
Letters Included
Page 1 is a cover sheet for parents with a page overview and tips. The letters themselves carry no logo and no page number, so they look as if the elf wrote them.
The elf introduces himself with a wink, announces he checked out the fridge, and promises funny, never mean pranks.
A warm letter about how much the elf looked forward to your family: door, bed, and suitcase are ready, letters and little jokes will follow.
Psst: the elf shares very little, only that he's smaller than a cup, and invites kids to look for clues.
Gentle house rules from the elf: letters by the door, keep the door clear, pranks at night, with space for your signatures.
📝 How It Works
💡 Tips
- Sign with your non-writing hand so the name looks like it came from a tiny elf.
- Dab the paper lightly with cold tea and let it dry for a parchment look.
- Roll the letter small and tie it with thread so it feels like real elf mail.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Which arrival letter should I pick?
It depends on your family. Cheeky suits kids who love jokes, loving suits sensitive kids, and mysterious works for kids who like riddles. You can also spread all three over the first few days.
What's in the rules letter?
The elf explains that he reads letters, the door should stay clear, he's out at night, and he's shy. At the end there's a line for your signatures.
When should I leave the letter?
On the first elf night, ideally together with the elf door. In the morning your child finds the door and the letter at once.
Does the elf need a name?
The letter has a “(Name)” blank. The elf has no fixed name, so you write in the one your family chooses.
