The postcard
What's on a ShipNote thank-you postcard
A 4x6 card printed on both sides: your design on the front, your note and the addresses on the back. Here is everything that comes with it.
- Size
- 4 x 6 inches, the standard USPS postcard size. Fronts are portrait, and the blank card also turns landscape for your own artwork.
- Front
- Your photo, a collage of two to four photos, or a designed card with no photo. Up to 53 designs for each occasion, most with your names and a date.
- Back
- Your note, in one of five fonts (Serif, Modern, Handwritten, Script or Elegant), under a header style you pick. Your return address prints on it too.
- Personalized
- Write the note once. Each card fills in that guest's name and the gift they gave, and you can rewrite any single card before checkout.
- Addressed
- Each guest's address is printed on their card, and checked against USPS records before you pay.
- Postage
- USPS First-Class postage is included on every card. We mail to US addresses only.
- Mailed
- We print and mail your cards the next business day, or on a later weekday you pick at checkout, from two business days out to 90 days out. Most arrive 4–7 business days after the mail day.
- Price
- $2.49 a card, or $1.99 a card from 10 cards. No minimum and no subscription.
- Our mark
- A small "via shipnote.co/card" line prints in a corner of the back. Removing it costs 10 cents a card.
Personalized
One note, a different card for every guest
You write the note once. Each card fills in that guest's name and the gift from their row of your list, so no two cards read the same.
The note you write
Dear [RECIPIENT], Thank you so much for the [GIFT_NAME] you got us for our wedding. We truly appreciate your generosity and are grateful to have you in our lives. Best regards, Sam & Priya

Postcard or card?
When a thank-you postcard is the right choice
A postcard suits a thank-you that names the gift in a few warm sentences. It is the wrong format for a private letter.
A postcard works when
- you want your photo to be the first thing they see
- the note is three to five sentences
- you are mailing a stack: a postcard stamp is $0.65 against $0.82 for a card in an envelope
Choose a folded card when
- the note is private, or mentions a cash amount
- you are writing a long letter
- the card is going outside the United States, which we don't mail to
Whether a printed card is polite enough is its own question; we answer it in do thank-you cards have to be handwritten?
