Doesn’t the post card have to be stiff so it can be handled through the postal system?
Yes and no. You want to give your post card some stiffness so it will hold up in the mailing process. Try using Fast2Fuse or quilt batting. If you make your postcard too stiff (like card board that does not bend easily) where it cannot be machined, then you will be charged parcel rate to mail. I have made this mistake before and the postage was $1.12.
How do you address the postcard?
On the upper left side I write my name and return address (just in case I have not put enough postage or the person I am exchanging cards with has moved). Underneath you can write a message. On the top center, I write or stamp the word post card and place the stamp(s) in the upper right corner. On the right side of the postcard back I write the persons name and full address.
