I'm hand-writing a personal letter and it's a lot longer than what I'm used to writing (9 pages). Most of my personal letters are within 1-3 pages and I never staple the pages together, I just fold them and put them in the envelope. It seems a lot easier to me to staple 9 pages together, but is that considered bad ettiquette for writing a personal letter? It may seem like a stupid question, but it also seems to me that adding a simple staple makes it more formal, almost like a business letter, and takes away from the personality of the letter. Almost like typing a letter instead of hand writing it. Maybe I'm being too anal about this, but this question is really bothering me. I need a second opinion about this. Only serious answers please.

I have written many letters this long, and have never stapled them. Just number each page after the first one, and the person will have no trouble keeping them in order.

For 9 pages, I'd staple it. Anything more than 3 probably.
