What it could look like
Happy Birthday, Mom!
Wish I could be there to sing off-key and eat the first slice. Have the best day — I'll call you tonight.
Love, Sarah

Questions
Birthday postcards — FAQ
Can it arrive on the actual birthday?
You pick the date you want it to arrive and we mail it ahead of time based on printing and postal timing. Mail can't be guaranteed to the day, so we show an estimate before you pay.
Can I send a birthday postcard every year?
Yes. Choose a yearly birthday send and we'll plan the next one. Before each year's card you confirm a credit and approve the proof, so nothing goes out without your OK.
How much does it cost?
$3.99 per postcard, printing and U.S. postage included. Buy a pack of 5 or 10 credits to pay a little less per card. No subscription.
Will I see the card before it's printed?
Yes. You get a print proof of the exact card and nothing is printed until you approve it. You can still change the design until the approve-by time.
