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’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.
  • “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.

Meet the teacher postcards, before the first day

Mail one before school starts: your photo on the front, a short hello on the back. Kids see your face before they walk in.

Try a photo of you at the classroom door, the reading corner or the class pet. Order at least 15 days ahead.

Positive postcards from teachers, sent home midyear

A note that comes to the house gets read at the kitchen counter, not lost in a backpack. Name one moment, not a trait:

  • Maya, you helped a new classmate find the library on Tuesday. That was kind.
  • Jonah read his whole page out loud on Friday. I could tell he practiced.

Teacher postcards to students, for a whole class

Each order holds 1 to 10 postcards, each to its own US address. There's no mailing-list upload, so a class of 25 takes three orders.

Every card can carry its own message. Change the name, or the whole note, as you add that card's address.

Writing notes home all year? The Postcard Club gives a flat member price per card and saves every address for next time.

Need one card for one student? Make a personalized postcard. For 150 students at once, a print shop that takes a spreadsheet fits better.

Teacher postcard questions

What do teachers write on postcards to students?

The student's name and one specific thing: a moment from class, or something waiting in the room. Two or three sentences fit the back.

When should I mail meet the teacher postcards?

Order at least 15 days before the first day of school. Most cards arrive in 5 to 10 business days, but we can't guarantee a delivery date.

Can I send a postcard to every student in my class?

Yes, over a few orders. Each order holds 1 to 10 cards, each to its own US address, with no mailing-list upload. A class of 25 takes three orders.

Is there a per-card price for sending all year?

Yes. Postcard Club members pay $1.49 a card, postage included, no minimum. Membership is $48 a year or $10 a month, renewing until you cancel.

Is it a postcard or a folded card?

A postcard: one 4x6 glossy card, your photo on the front and your note on the back. No envelope, and no stamp to buy.
