Filling the blank side of a postcard with trip highlights for a friend back home, then hunting down a mailbox or post-office counter before the gate closes.

The Essentials

Tips

  • Write your message before addressing the postcard, since a mistake in the message is easy to redo on a spare card, but a card with the wrong address already filled in has to be discarded entirely.
  • Keep the message short and specific to one or two thoughts rather than trying to fit a full letter, since a postcard's small space rewards a brief, vivid detail more than an attempt to cover everything.
  • Use a pen rather than a pencil, since pencil marks can smudge or fade during transit through automated sorting machines and handling.
  • Check the correct postage rate for postcards to your destination country before mailing, since postcards often have a different (usually cheaper) rate than standard letters, and underpaying can delay or return the card.
