What people are saying

  • “This is such a good “thinking of you” gift, it feels way more intentional than sending a text”
    Alex U.
  • “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.
  • “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.
  • “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 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”
    Elijah P.

See every layout for custom photo postcards before you start.

  • High school graduation cards: a senior photo, plus one from kindergarten.
  • College graduation cards: move-in day next to the diploma.

What to write in a congratulations graduation card

Use their name, say one thing you're proud of, and sign it. Copy a line if it helps:

  • Congratulations, Maya. We saw every late night. This diploma is all yours.
  • From your first backpack to this. So proud of you, kiddo.
  • You did it. Now go do the next thing, and call home sometimes.
  • Proud doesn't cover it. Congratulations, graduate.
  • Whatever comes next, your home team is still cheering.
  • Grandpa and I couldn't be prouder of you, sweetheart.
  • First in the family with a degree. Frame this next to it.

Graduation card questions

What do you write in a graduation card?

Congratulate them by name, name one thing you watched them work for, and look ahead. Two or three sentences fit well on the back of a 4x6 card.

How much money is appropriate for a graduation card?

That's between you and your budget. A postcard has no envelope, so it can't carry cash or a check: send the money another way and let the card carry the words.

Where can I get graduation cards printed?

Right here. Make it in the builder on this page and we print a 4x6 glossy photo postcard and mail it: $9.99 for one, with free shipping on every order.

Should you send a card when you get a graduation announcement?

Yes. Etiquette guides agree a congratulations card is always welcome, with a gift or without one. It's the card this page makes.

When should you send a graduation card?

Near the ceremony, or within a few weeks after. To reach them by the day, order about 15 days ahead; we can't guarantee a delivery date.

What is a short sweet message for graduation?

"So proud of you. Congratulations, graduate." Add their name and sign it from everyone at home.
