    Postcard dimensions can affect how a piece is mailed, so check the requirements before preparing your campaign. Our postcard mailing size guide explains what to consider when choosing a size for mailing.

    Personalized Postcards for Events & Invitations

    Create personalized postcards for weddings, save-the-dates, parties, holiday greetings, announcements, and other special occasions. A 5" × 7" postcard gives you room for photos and event details, while larger formats provide additional space for schedules, directions, or other information. Optional white envelopes are also available when you want a more traditional invitation-style presentation.

    How to Design a Custom Postcard

    A strong postcard should communicate its main message within seconds. Start with a clear headline, use high-quality images, keep your text concise, and include an obvious call to action. Important details such as dates, offers, URLs, phone numbers, and QR codes should be easy to find.
