I love giving and receiving postcards. There’s something about getting a small note from a friend or family member who is traveling in a different location that is so thoughtful! I love seeing a beautiful image on the front of the postcard so I can feel like I’m on vacation too. Thanks to the Love Letter Squad, I recently discovered that there’s an actual art to postcard writing (see their full tips here). Within such a confined space and having so much to say, it can be very difficult to get the proper message across. They suggest focusing on the recipient in small ways by saying what you miss about them, why and for what part you wish they were traveling with you, and what has reminded you of the person and prompted the postcard writing. By doing this, the recipient gets the feeling that the card is really dedicated to them, while still getting a glimpse of your travels. This makes a postcard that will be tucked away and treasured forever. Everyone wants to read about how loved they are, so why not add a little love in the next postcard you write?
