Congratulations!
You've decided to write a postcard. Respect, that's like sending a WhatsApp message,
but on paper and without an emoji keyboard.
Now you might be thinking:
"How does this work again?
Are there rules?"
Don't worry, I got you!
1. Choose a Postcard
The most important rule: The postcard should somehow relate to your vacation spot. You're in Italy? Then don't pick the one with the mountains from Switzerland just because it looks prettier. But hey, if you want to cause some confusion, go for it.
2. Sender's Side – Where Does Everything Go?
Left side: text. Right side: address. Sounds simple, right? Ha! You'll quickly realize there's never enough space. Don't stress, the lack of space is part of the magic of a postcard. It forces you to be creative. Or illegible.
3. The Text
Now comes the real challenge. What should you write? "The weather is nice" is a classic, but maybe you want to be a bit more original. Here are a few suggestions:
- "It's so hot here, I'm thinking of signing up as a rotisserie chicken."
- "Got lost in the hotel, but don’t worry – I've memorized the way to the breakfast buffet."
- "Writing a postcard: check. Now I just need to remember the return address… oh crap."
4. Important Info
If you'd rather stay serious (for whatever reason): Mention where you are, how long you're staying, and why the vacation is awesome (even if it's not – postcards are for the illusion of fun). But if you've had a bit too much sun, cryptic messages like "Vacation good, sun hot, beer cold" will do the trick.
5. Address
Super important: Write the address legibly! The mailman can’t read hieroglyphics, no matter how artistic you feel. And don’t forget: The stamp goes in the top right corner. Not top left. Not on the address. Not on the front of the card. (Yes, it's confusing!)
6. Mailing It
Now for the hardest part: finding a mailbox. In some countries, this is like a treasure hunt. But when you finally find one and drop the card in, you can pat yourself on the back – you did it! Your friends and family will be thrilled… if the postcard ever arrives.
Good luck and most importantly: Have fun writing your postcards! 😄
