It’s a snail mail lovefest kind of day. And why not? Don’t the ones we love deserve to hear from us in a way that shows care and effort went into the hellos we’re sending? You can be sure I kick myself over such things more often than I’d like to.

That’s where people like Chelsea Costa help to make this world a better place. When she gets crafty, our creative juices get energized. I mean look, she’s sending a freaking party to a mailbox! Complete with tootsie rolls, candy pumpkins and homemade spooky skull garland.

Send Grandparents Real Mail Via Email with Postcardly

Postcardly

If I had to guess, the grandmas and grandpas in your life are a lot like mine and love getting photos and letters in the mail.

So do it. Sit down and write them a handwritten letter once and a while. You’ll be so glad you did.

Right, I know. You’re thinking that sounds lovely and all but life is busy, you’ve got a family that’s always on the go, who has time to put a letter in the mail? Well, with Postcardly, you do.

Created by three smart guys in Seattle and inspired by “one lonely grandma,” the idea is so simple: Send real, hold-in-your-hand pictures via email.

You just grab your smart phone, snap a photo and write an email. (Naturally, you can send an email from your computer too.) Off goes your postcard to grandmother’s house with your picture on one side and your message on the other. It’s that easy.

And what a perfect day to give Postcardly a try—it’s Grandparents Day! (A jolly fact you already knew because you downloaded our Jollydays wallpaper.)

Set up an account to make their day again and again—your first 3 postcards are free!
