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.

Turn real moments
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.
Thinking of someone is a feeling; a postcard is proof. Start with whatever brought them to mind, whether it's a shared memory, a photo from the last time you met or a joke no one else would get, and turn it into artwork made for them. Add a few quiet words on the back. We print and mail it, so it arrives as something to hold on a day they might need it.

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 short and kind. Say you're thinking of them, say you don't expect an answer, and offer one small thing, like “I'm free for a call on Sunday.” You don't need to fix anything or have the right words.
It can be. A thinking-of-you card is gentle and doesn't need to name what they're going through. If you want something more specific, take a look at our get well soon and sympathy postcards.
It can be read on the way, so keep very private news for a call or a letter. It's printed on thick matte card and mailed as a postcard, without an envelope. Your preview uses US postcard (6 × 4 inches). We fit your design to the print size used for the recipient’s destination automatically.
Yes. We mail worldwide, with a few exceptions (see our delivery page). A card from far away can feel like a hug through the mailbox.
Yes. Your message is printed on the back. Type it, or write it on paper and add a photo of the note to print it in your own handwriting.
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.
