I started with a photo from my camera roll and expected to spend ages fiddling with it, but the whole thing was surprisingly quick. I tried two styles, moved the text a little, wrote the message on the back and added my sister's address. The preview made it really clear what would be printed. She sent me a photo when it arrived and it looked better than it did on my phone.

Maya's friend started from Make a Wish, added a photo of her dachshund and one instruction, and ended up with a birthday card only Maya would get.

No photo needed. One line about how he really is became a birthday card made for him.


“Make her dachshund the birthday baker. Keep this painted style.”
“He treats making coffee like a science experiment.”
More personal than picking a card.
A good Father's Day card sounds like it came from you, not a shelf of slogans. Start with something he loves, a story you still tell, or one small thing he did that stayed with you. Turn it into artwork, or bring it into a design you like, then write your note on the back. We print and mail the postcard for the dads, granddads and father figures you want to celebrate.

Postcards in the wild
Made one on my phone while waiting for a train. Uploaded a holiday photo, used one of the suggested previews or whatever, changed the headline and then wrote the msg. I liked that I didn't have to create an account before I knew I actually wanted the card. Checkout could be easier.
I used atemplate because I had absolutely 0 design ideas. Swapped in my own picture, changed two words and was done. My friend kept it on her fridge which is probably the best review I can give.
I thought the AI bit would be gimmicky but it gave me a really good looking card! Loved it, and I am anti AI usually… but this was a pretty good use of it I think.
Was happy with the result.
Used it to say “thank you” after a weekend with friendls. I chose the flower design, edited the text. Pretty cool with my own handwriting !!!
Sent a baby card to friends abroad. It arrived in time, thank you!
Life saver to be able to import 20 contacts:D I sent one to all of my friends for Thanksgiving. No idea it it will arrive, yet but I certainly hope so ;)
I sent the same postcard to four people from a trip. Adding the extra addresses was much easier than recreating the card each time. That was good. I wish there were more designs to choose from for trips, tho.
I made a congratulations card for my NIECE. I put her fav toy in there as a reference. HOW DID YOU MAKE HER AN ASTRONAUT?! :D : D :D
I did the entire thing one-handed on my phone while holding a baby, so points for that. Also cool that I could add a video. Didnt do that but will think of a good occasion!
I was skeptical because most personalized-card sites look so cheap, but thought I’ll try this one for its cool designs. Likes the AI stuff as well. Crazy stuff really.
Good to know
Mention a specific memory, lesson, or everyday thing you appreciate. Father's Day can be complicated for some families, so write to the relationship you actually have and choose words that feel true to it.
It depends on the country. The UK and the US celebrate on the third Sunday of June, Germany on Ascension Day and Sweden in November. Check the date where he lives.
Printing takes 2–3 working days, then it goes in the post. Typical arrival after you order: United Kingdom 4–8 working days, Germany 6–10 working days, Sweden 6–10 working days, United States 9–13 working days. Other countries: it depends on the local post. We can't promise it arrives on the day, so order early.
Of course. Celebrate anyone who has shown up for you in that way: a grandfather, stepdad, uncle, mentor, or someone who feels like family.
Yes. A childhood photo with him is hard to beat. Upload it from your phone or computer and place it on the front. Your message goes on the back.
Designing the card is free. You only pay for printing and postage, per card, and you see the price before you pay. Sending more cards in one order can lower the price per card.
