I may be moving within the next few months, so to begin preparing in case I can move, I am beginning to make cuts to my stationary, especially postcards. If you would like an envelope of 3 random postcards, please fill out this form, US only please.
Hey everyone, Is it wrong to ask people for proofs during a postcard exchange ?? Like asking them to send a photo of the postcard written & stamp.
For some people it may seem as we have trust issues ( ngl - sometimes postcards don’t come to your end. Don’t know who to blame . The person or the postal services ) And sometimes you just want an assurance because international postage is expensive, so are the postcards
So what are your opinions on it
Thank you for the Yellowstone National Park postcard! I've never been but the pictures are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!

This is the first Studio Ghibli postcard I have ever received so it makes me happy! A great way for me to start my weekend and the week ahead. I love the stamps too and the stickers.
Your postcard reminds me that I should complete my loose goal of watching the whole Studio Ghibli filmography.
Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend and week ahead!
Hey. I have a bunch of postcards featuring various breeds of postcards. Great quality paper printed by Ivy Press in East Sussex. I'm on a vacation in India and I'll be posting it from here but my residence is in the US so I need postcards to be sent there.
Request- I’m looking for a blank/unwritten and not stamped Cahokia Mounds postcard. We took a trip there and the gift shop was closed. I was really hoping to grab one for a souvenir. Does anyone have one they wouldn’t mind parting with? Thank you!
I got two cute sets of postcards and have quite a few left over.

I’m looking for cat postcards or cards but local ones from where you live are also welcome!

Hi everyone, I hope this is the right place to post this. Even if not, this seems like a lovely community! So, my fiancé and myself love travelling and had the idea to use postcards from all the place we’ve been to together over the years to write our guests names on. We’re expecting around 80 guests and aren’t fussy about the cards being different sizes etc. Obviously it would have been great to have that idea when we actually were travelling but it’s too late for that. Basically I’m looking for a place to purchase blank/unwritten postcards online from the following places:
It’s a long shot but I think it would be such a cute and personal thing to do. Thanks so much for any hints! :)
Thank you so much for the Saguaro National Park Postcard! That’s a park that is on my bucket list to visit! Also loved all the cool stamps! Thanks again!
I still have a few postcards from my previous travels that I didn't get to send. Would anyone be interested to exchange?
Thailand - 3
Taiwan - 1 & Cambodia - 1 (not for exchange, I'm giving it away, it was a freebie and not so extraordinary, Cambodia postcard - there's a little torn)
Macau - 1
Japan - 1
Bali (Indonesia) - 1
Philippines - 1
Hey there, everyone! We have a family friend whose son, Beckett, is about to have a birthday. He loves geography so his family is trying to do something special! We’re really trying to surprise him with postcards from outside of the US (my husband would love to get him one from France but my dream location for Beckett would be Ireland), but really, anywhere at all would be amazing!
If you’d be interested to send him one, DM me and I’ll send you the address. We’re in Illinois if that matters. This is such a great community! ❤️
