Make Your Own Postcards
Has anyone ever made their own postcards? I would like to make my own but do not know where to start. Any suggestions? I have inks and stamps. Thank you.

I have used photographs, the front cut from a greeting card, or a picture from a magazine glued onto cardboard, etc. Since the post office uses machines, it may be a good idea not to glue on any decoration that could get caught on the machine. Also, keep it close to postcard size since a larger size could change the postage. I always put a line down the center of the card - message on the left, address and stamp on the right.

Yes there are legal sizes for postcards. I make them out of recycled cards. The United States Postal Service site tells you the size and the weight the cards have to be. Check it out.

The Post Office has no rules that I know of for what you send through the mail. I used to work outgoing mail for the Post Office back in the 90's in a college town. You wouldn't believe what we saw coming through to be mailed. One time a bra just before St Patrick's day. It had the address on one cup and the appropriate postage stapled on the other cup along with the message "Erin go Braugh! Also remember a Hershey Bar wrapper coming through acting as an envelope.
