The card itself is lovely, recipient loved it, but there was no extra page included, or insert to use to write a message on it. The idea is that it's displayed and you don't want writing on the inner parts when displaying it. The back being very dark meant you couldn't use that unless you had a silver pen or something, of which I didn't. There was also no glue on the envelope either, so had to use some ugly tape to close it. Bit of a shame really, because it was a nice card but was marred by the niggling bad bits for it.
