There are countless ways to brighten someone’s day with a postcard. So many, in fact, that over 8 million Touchnote postcards have now been sent worldwide.
Take a look at these 8 Touchnote postcards by our card-senders. From thank-yous, to baby updates, to a note just to say ‘hi’, there are lots of reasons to make someone smile with your photos.
1. Thank you notes
One of the top reasons why people send Touchnote postcards is because they’re perfect for quick, personalised thank-yous.
Annabel wanted to say thanks to a close family friend for sending her little bundle of joy these snazzy trousers 🎁
Even though she’s got her hands full with her new baby boy, Annabel found she could easily send out cards with Touchnote, even whilst feeding. Like lots of new mums who use Touchnote, Annabel was pleased with how much more personal her cards are than generic, store bought cards.
2. Invitations and announcements
Touchnote makes it easy to copy cards, or send one card to multiple addresses. That makes postcards ideal for invites, save-the-dates, moving announcements, and more!
Ben and Florence used Touchnote to send out save-the-dates for their upcoming party, to celebrate tying the knot 🍾
Florence uses Touchnote all the time when she travels, and for her Christmas and Birthday cards too, but asked her friend Emily to create this trendy, unique picture just for her postcard invites.
3. Just “because”
Who doesn’t love a nice surprise in the post? A little something unexpected amongst all the dreaded bills.
Some of the best postcards are sent for no particular reason at all, other than just “because.”
Dale took a trip to Scotland last year with some friends. When looking back through old photos recently, he realised there were some great ones he’d forgotten about ⛰ So he decided to send one over to his friend Ed, who hadn’t seen him in a while. He knew he’s enjoy the photo, and already had Ed’s address in his Touchnote account, so sending it took under a minute!
4. Thinking of you
Nothing says ‘I care about you’ more than a personal, unique note to that special person. Tell besties that you miss them or let your great auntie know you’re thinking of her after she got that new hip.
Dave sent this card to his girlfriend to let her know he thinks the world of her. Being a “Facebook official” couple is one thing, but you know it’s real love when you get a surprise postcard telling you! 😍
5. A postcard to a kid
Kids rarely receive any real post, and so they often love it when they do!
Heather sends her little one a card every couple of weeks, and is using each one to put together a memory book of all his milestones and happy memories 👶 👦
This particular postcard was from Joseph’s first swimming lesson this term. Heather has also sent cards to his grandparents as a surprise, and as thank yous to her friends and family.
6. Special memories
We share so many photos from weddings, holidays and nights out on social media, but only the ones that get printed last for years to come.
Emily sent this postcard to the cheery group on the front of the card, a local Air Cadet Squadron that her new husband volunteers with. These super snaps were taken at her wedding and she thought they’d really enjoy them. It also gave her the opportunity to thank them for their kind gift.
Like most of us, Emily is a bit of a forgetful soul and so Touchnote also helps her to create cards quickly and last minute. Plus, because she has a brother out in Japan, she can send him a card at no extra cost.
7. Baby updates
They grow up so fast, and there are so many milestones to keep up with! Luckily, it’s quick and easy to keep relatives up to date with all that growing they’re doing, as postcards are perfect for baby updates. The hardest part is picking a photo from the many overflowing from your smartphone!
Ilana has been sending updates about baby Gabe to his great grandmother. They don’t get to see her as often as they’d like, so postcards help her to stay up to date with what’s happening in their lives, and to see how much Gabe is growing.
8. Send one to yourself
Okay, so it might sound a little silly at first, sending yourself mail. But it’s nice to have your favourite photos printed, ready to adorn your home. Sometimes you want to only print one, and as Touchnote is quick and easy, this is a very popular way that people use their credits!
Emily took these photos of her furry friends on her phone. She loved them so much that she decided to use Touchnote to get them printed. Now she can pop them up on her notice board to admire whenever she likes.
As she’s used Touchnote to send all sorts of cards to her family, friends and husband, she knew the quality was great, and that her snaps would look amazing on a postcard.
A big thanks to our users for letting us share their cards with you ☺️
