How to send a mail card
Sending a mail card, also known as a greeting card or postcard, is a thoughtful way to connect with friends and loved ones. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to send a mail card:
Materials needed:
- A mail card (greeting card or postcard)
- A stamp (postage)
- An envelope (if the card doesn't have a built-in envelope)
- The recipient's address

Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Choose a card: Select a mail card that you think the recipient will appreciate. You can choose from various designs, themes, and messages.
- Write a message: Write a personal message inside the card to make it more special. You can express your thoughts, feelings, or congratulations.
- Add a stamp: Attach a stamp to the envelope or the card (if it doesn't have a built-in envelope). Make sure the stamp is valid for the destination country.
- Address the envelope: Write the recipient's address on the envelope, including their name, street address, city, state, and zip code.
