Mail post card

A postcard!

A postcard is a small, thin piece of paper or cardboard that is used to send a brief message or greeting to someone. It typically has a picture or design on one side and a space for writing a message on the other side.

Here are some common features of a postcard:

  1. Front side: This is the side with the picture or design. It's often a scenic view, a famous landmark, or a cartoon character.
  2. Back side: This is the side where you write your message. It usually has a space for your name and address, as well as a space for the recipient's name and address.
  3. Stamp: You need to affix a postage stamp to the upper right corner of the postcard to send it through the mail.
  4. Message: You can write a brief message or greeting on the back side of the postcard. Keep it short and sweet, as there's limited space!

Types of postcards:

  1. Standard postcard: A traditional postcard with a picture on the front and a space for writing on the back.
  2. Greeting card postcard: A postcard with a pre-printed message or greeting, often with a more formal or festive design.
  3. Photomail postcard: A postcard with a printed photo on the front, often with a space for writing on the back.
  4. E-postcard: An electronic postcard that can be sent via email or online platforms.

When to use a postcard:

  1. Travel: Send a postcard to friends and family while you're traveling to share your experiences and adventures.
  2. Special occasions: Use a postcard to send a quick greeting or message for birthdays, holidays, or other special occasions.
  3. Casual correspondence: Send a postcard to a friend or acquaintance to say hello or share a brief update.

Remember to always check the postage requirements and any specific regulations for sending postcards in your country or region.
