What people are saying

  • “I sent the first one as a joke and now everyone asks when the next one is coming”
    Patrick E.
  • “I sent one to my best friend after she moved across the country and now we’re obsessed. We talk all the time but getting real pics is totally different.”
    Georgia K.
  • “I’ve been sending postcards back and forth with some long distance friends and I genuinely forgot how fun it is to get something in the mail that isn’t a bill lol”
    Steven G.
  • “My parents love my postcards and I never would have done it without Familyletter, I don’t think I have ever even bought a stamp before. Love it and will keep using them!”
    Tricia M.
  • “I visited my grandparents last week and it was awesome to see their fridge covered with my postcards! They seem to really appreciate them”
    Eric S.
  • “This is such a good “thinking of you” gift, it feels way more intentional than sending a text”
    Alex U.
  • “My boyfriend and I are long distance and this hits completely different than texting pictures. We already FaceTime constantly so having an actual picture of him on my desk feels less digital.”
    Claire O.
  • “I send a few postcards a month to my buddies from college, it’s kind of like a monthly time capsule”

What to write in a congratulations card

Use their name, name the news, and add one line only you would write. Borrow one:

  • Wedding: Congratulations, you two. Save me a seat at every anniversary dinner.
  • New baby: Welcome, little Leo. And congrats to the two most tired people I know.
  • Engagement: She said yes! I knew it the night you met her.
  • New job: New badge, same you. They hired well. Congrats!
  • New home: Congrats on the new place. I call the guest room.
  • Retirement: Thirty-one years and one last commute. Enjoy every slow morning.
  • For anything: So proud of you. You earned every bit of this.

A postcard, so the photo is the first thing they see

Nothing to open. Their photo faces up in the mailbox, and your words are on the back.

An ecard sits in an inbox. This one comes with a stamp and is theirs to keep.
