Alright, folks, World Postcard Day is coming up, and you know what that means: it’s time to send a little piece of joy through the mail. Every year, on October 1st, we celebrate the simple art of postcards, the kind of thing that makes your day 100% better when you check the mail and find something other than bills.
But let’s be real. The official WPD postcard is fine and all (we’re all for supporting the cause), but the real fun happens when the community steps in and creates their postcards (and because we want to send and receive not only the one design, yeah?). And guess what? That’s where I come in with 10 brand new postcards ready to make your World Postcard Day way more interesting.
A Little WPD History, But Let’s Not Get Boring
Let’s not pretend like we all know the history of World Postcard Day off the top of our heads. Here’s the quick version: On October 1st, 1869, the first postcard was sent in Austria. Since then, postcards have traveled a lot of kilometers, and now, each year, we celebrate this moment with the official WPD postcard.
So, What’s New in My WPD Collection?
Now, for the exciting part: what’s in store this year? I’ve got 10 fresh designs lined up that you’ll want to send to everyone you know. A lot of them were created with the amazing Mari Kolorowa, who has an uncanny ability to make everything look way more beautiful than I could ever imagine. Here’s what you’ll find in this year’s collection:
- Cozy Marluki Card: If you’re not a cat person, I’m genuinely sorry for you, but these cards are for all the Marluki lovers out there. Think cozy vibes, soft kitty moments, and the feeling of curling up with a cup of coffee. 🐱
- Astronauts in Space: Because who doesn’t want to send a postcard from the stars? These cards are for all the dreamers, space lovers, and anyone who’s ever looked up and thought, “I wonder if there’s life out there.” 🚀
- Playful & Whimsical Designs: I threw in some quirky, fun postcards because sometimes life needs a little weirdness. It’s like a surprise for your mailbox, who doesn’t love that?

World Postcard Day Is Really Just About Doing Something Fun
WPD is about celebrating postcards, yes, but it’s also about doing something a little different, something more personal. So, now that you know about the 10 new designs I’ve got for you, it’s time to do what we do best: send postcards to everyone we know (and maybe some we don’t). Whether you’re a Postcrossing pro or just want to send a card to your friend who still doesn’t get why postcards are so great, WPD is the perfect excuse to brighten someone’s day.
So go ahead, browse the collection, pick your favorites, and get ready to share a little love through the mail. Because, honestly, who doesn’t want to get a postcard from the cozy world of Marluki or a floating astronaut?
May your mailboxes be as full as your heart!
