Who would love a postcard from you
The postcards worth sending go to someone who checks the mailbox every day and rarely finds their own name in it.
- Grandma and Grandpa: the faces they ask about, on a card they can hold.
- Mom or Dad: proof the move, the new job or the first apartment is going fine.
- A friend who moved away: a photo from the old neighborhood for the new kitchen.
- A kid at college: mail with their name on it, and news from home the group chat never covers.
Send a postcard to Grandma
A postcard to Grandma works with faces she knows, one real thing from this week, and the name of every kid in the photos.
A 4x6 card fits on the fridge door, beside her chair, or in a handbag to show her friends at lunch.
Leave her something to ask about. It gives the next phone call somewhere to start.
Her birthday coming up? Make one of our birthday postcards for Grandma about two weeks ahead.
What to write on a postcard to Grandma
A good postcard message is one specific thing from this week, a name for each photo, one line only you would write, and your name.
Skip the weather. Say what happened and who did it.
A few lines that work. More: what to write on a postcard.
- Leo jumped in every leaf pile on the street. Every single one.
- Rosie cracked her first egg, mostly into the bowl.
- We made your chili. Dad says it's close. It isn't.
- Your old room is exactly how you left it, minus the cat, who moved in.
Why a postcard beats a text
A printed postcard is a thing you can hand to someone. A photo in a text thread scrolls away by Thursday.
The real choice is rarely card versus text. It's this card versus the one you meant to mail and never did.
What usually stops that card is the stamp and the trip to the post office. Both are on us.

Thinking of you, miss you and get well cards
Thinking of you: a photo of something you did together, and one line on why it came to mind.
Miss you: a photo from home they haven't seen. The Miss you! sticker says it if words won't.
Get well: something to look at from the couch. The grandkids, the dog, the garden.
How to mail a postcard yourself
To send a postcard yourself, you need a card in the USPS postcard size range, a postcard stamp and a mailbox.
The postcard stamp calculator has today's stamp price.
Here's how to address a postcard.
Or skip the stamp: make one above, and we mail it.
- Message on the left half of the back.
- Address on the right half, stamp in the top right corner.
- Into a blue USPS box, or your own mailbox with the flag up.

Questions before you mail one
How do I send a postcard without going to the post office?
You don't go to the post office at all. You make the card on FamilyLetter, give us the address, and we print it, add the postage and mail it USPS First-Class.
Do I need a stamp?
No stamp needed. Shipping is free on every order, even one postcard, and we add the postage.
How long does a postcard take to arrive?
Delivery usually takes 5 to 10 business days from order to mailbox, by USPS First-Class Mail. We can't guarantee a delivery date.
Can I send cards to several people at once?
Yes. One order holds 1 to 10 postcards, and each card can go to a different US address.
Do I need an app to send postcards?
No app or account is needed. You make the card in your phone or computer browser, and the person you send it to needs nothing.
What if my postcard gets lost?
If a card is lost or damaged, we print and mail it again for free. Email support within 60 days.
