Once you’ve purchased your favorite postcard, write the address of its destination on the address side of the postcard. If you are mailing it overseas, please be aware that you will be writing the recipient’s address at the top and the sender’s address at the bottom.

If you would like to mail it by air mail, be sure to write AIR MAIL. This page has detailed information on how to address your postcard, so please use it as reference.

Next, stick a stamp onto the card. Stamps can be purchased at a post office or convenience store. There are various types of stamps available, so it’s fun to look for cute stamps, too.
