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.

into something special.

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.
The best reason to send a card is a small one: a song that came on, a joke you still quote, a photo from a good day. Turn that spark into artwork, or let it change a design you already like, and add a line on the back. We print and mail the postcard, so a random Tuesday brings something real to their mailbox.

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
Keep it light and true. Say what made you think of them, share a quick memory, or just say you hope they're doing well. Two lines is plenty.
Not at all. Real post with no birthday attached is a nice surprise. Keep it short and say what made you think of them.
Yes. A photo you took together, or one that reminded you of them, is perfect. Upload it from your phone or computer and place it on the front. Your message goes on the back.
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 a specific day, but with no date to hit, there's no rush.
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.
