Did you guys know you can mail your own postcards?

Yep, that's right, you can mail your own postcards. 

I haven't done this YET myself, but I can't wait to try it!!  Below are all your mail regulations for letters, postcards and Large Envelopes.  Especially helpful this time of year when starting to think about *gulp* the holidays!  

The best part about mailing a postcard is that the stamp only cost .29 cents!! (Yes, I couldn't find the "cents" symbol, lol) WOO HOO... that's a little cost saver for ya!  You can send the kids friends birthday cards that way, send the grandparents a homemade drawing from the kids, or send someone a cute reminder or thinking about you note.  I can't wait to try it out. Click here for a template to get you started!
