Please edit your posts in the following manner to ensure good communication. Use reddit names only.
The poster should honor the comments as received when sending out several postcards.

Written & Stamped

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] u/keqani for the Studio Ghibli postcard!

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!

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!

Looking for blank postcards

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:

  • Lisbon
  • Sydney
  • Venice
  • New York
  • Los Angeles
  • Hawaii
  • Cambodia
  • Mexico
  • Osaka
  • Tokyo
  • Shanghai
  • Hongkong
  • Reykjavik
  • Barcelona

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! :)

Postcards For Beckett

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! ❤️

Hello from Hollywood!! [US to WW]

Hello all! I have access to lots of great Hollywood, California, and film-themed postcards that I would love to share with anyone interested. Send me a DM with your details, what theme you prefer(California, Los Angeles, Old Hollywood, film, or any special request I’ll try to make happen), and a postcard will be on its way!!

You don’t have to send anything back to me, I’m happy to just send to you. :)

But if you’d like to exchange, I would love to open my mailbox to a postcard from you! As an architect/artist, I’m a big fan of cards with artistic renditions of anything architecture related (i.e. illustrated Empire State Building).
