White pen for marking photographs?

Is there such a thing as a white pen that can be used to write on a photograph?
My wife and I just received the Christmas cards we bought through Shutterfly - they're basically 5X7 inch photographs. We had fussed over the wording for a while, but because of the multiple edits we now have a very awkward greeting. It's too expensive to start over, and I think I can remedy the situation if I could add an apostrophe and a colon, but with what? I think white out would be too obvious and too difficult to write with, and my google searches have failed.
Thanks!

Shake the hell out of those paint pens before using them.
If you choose to hack it with white-out, don't use the included brush: use a very fine hobby paintbrush instead.

A white permanent marker is probably your best bet. They also sell them at office supply stores and craft stores.

Response by poster: Thank you all. I figured there had to be something. Not to mention multiple things.

Best answer: As someone who worked in a scrapbook store for years, I would recommend the Uniball white pen. In my experience it was the best of all white pens at maintaining a clean, fluid line on dark paper and photographs.
