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 the first one as a joke and now everyone asks when the next one is coming”
    Patrick E.
  • “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 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.
  • “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”
    Elijah P.

Cards for Grandparents Day with the kids' drawing on the front

Photograph the drawing flat in daylight and add it like any photo. It prints edge to edge, and the original stays on your fridge.

Want the artist in it too? Put the drawing beside a photo of the kid holding it. Up to four fit on the front.

The back of the drawing card: a short note to Nana from Kate and Theo on a pink heart pattern, with a Happy Grandparents Day banner and a blank address box

When to send National Grandparents Day cards

National Grandparents Day is the first Sunday in September after Labor Day, set by federal law, 36 U.S.C. § 125.

The date moves each year, so allow up to 15 days. Most cards arrive in 5 to 10 business days; we can't guarantee a date.

What to write in a Grandparents Day card

One true detail beats a long poem. Let the kids say it, then type it up. A few to borrow:

  • Happy Grandparents Day, Nana. Theo drew you in your purple dress. He says that's our house too.
  • Grandpa, Owen tied the fishing knot you taught him. He caught a fish with it.
  • Need more lines? Borrow from these quotes for Grandma and Grandpa.

Make a Grandparents Day card in a few minutes

Nothing prints until you check out. Sending for a birthday instead? Make birthday postcards from your photos the same way.

  1. Add one to four photos or scanned drawings, then write a short note.
  2. Keep the heart back and Happy Grandparents Day banner, or swap them.
  3. Look over both sides. What you see is what prints.
  4. Pay, then add each grandparent's address. We print it and mail it First-Class.

Grandparents Day card questions

What do you write in a Grandparents Day card?

Thank them for one specific thing, share one bit of news, and sign every grandkid's name. Two or three lines fill the back.

When is National Grandparents Day?

The first Sunday in September after Labor Day, under 36 U.S.C. § 125, so the date changes every year.

Is this a folded greeting card?

No. It's a 4x6 photo postcard on thick glossy card stock: photos on the front, your message on the back, no envelope.

Can I send cards to both sets of grandparents?

Yes. One order holds 1 to 10 cards, and each card can go to a different US address.
