What people are saying

  • “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.
  • “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.
  • “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’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.
  • “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 sent the first one as a joke and now everyone asks when the next one is coming”
    Patrick E.
  • “I send a few postcards a month to my buddies from college, it’s kind of like a monthly time capsule”

You see the front and the back before you pay. That preview is exactly what arrives.

  3. Pay, then add each address. We print, stamp and mail every card.

Diwali greeting cards for family across the US

One order holds up to 10 cards, each to its own US address: your parents, Nani two states away, the cousins out west.

Every card can carry its own photos and note, so the in-laws get theirs and Dadi gets hers.

We mail inside the US only, so a card can't go to India.

Diwali wishes for your card

Happy Diwali always works. Shubh Deepavali means have an auspicious Diwali. Then add one real line from your year:

  • Happy Diwali, Nani! We lit the diyas you sent. Arjun counted every one.
  • Shubh Deepavali from all of us. We wish we were at your table this year.
  • Happy Diwali, Mom and Dad. The rangoli is crooked, but it's ours.
  • May this Diwali bring you light, good health and a full house.
  • Missing your sweets more than ever. Save us a box. Happy Diwali!
  • First Diwali in our new home. Come see the lights next year.
  • Happy Diwali, Dadi. Meera wore the outfit you picked. Photo on the front!

Happy Diwali cards that stay on the counter

An e-greeting is gone by morning. A photo card sits by the diyas for the whole festival, and usually long after.

Diwali card questions

Is it a folded card or a postcard?

A postcard: one 4x6 glossy card with your photos on the front and your wishes on the back. Nothing to fold, seal or stamp.

Can I send a Diwali card to India?

No. We print and mail inside the US only, so every card needs a US address.

When should I order Diwali cards?

At least 15 days before Diwali. Most cards arrive in 5 to 10 business days, though delivery isn't guaranteed and USPS slows down in busy weeks.

What do you write in a Diwali card?

Start with Happy Diwali or Shubh Deepavali, then one real line: who lit the diyas, what's cooking, who you miss.

Can I send cards to several relatives in one order?

Yes. Up to 10 cards, each to its own US address, and each one can have its own photos and note.

How much does a Diwali photo card cost?

One card is $9.99, postage included, with free shipping on every order. Five cards come to $34.99, or $7.00 each.
