This is an inexpensive but delightful swap for our group members who enjoy sending, receiving, and/or collecting postcards.

If you'd like to join in, please make sure you have several things listed in your profile that will help your partner find and send postcards for you that suit your own personal style and tastes. If you don't have a specific "postcard" section in your profile, be sure that you do include a large variety of ideas for themes or subjects you like.

All group members maintain well-filled-out profiles and meet the requirement of at least a 4.98 rating to join. In the unlikely event that it's necessary, I will angel this swap after you have attempted to contact your partner and honestly rated a "1" for a no-send.

Here are the rules:


As with all of our swaps:

♥ Read through your partner's complete profile for ideas of themes you can send. The idea is to send your swap partners things (in this case, postcards) related to their interests that will make them smile :)

♥Be certain to check for your partner's dislikes and avoid sending them, so you don't unintentionally spoil what would otherwise be an absolute delight (e.g. sending a postcard of cats, which s/he loves, but that is pink and super-girly, which your partner really doesn't care for)


You will send your partner 3 postcards. These should be sent blank, inside an envelope (for your partner to use) to keep postage costs down as this is an international swap. Please try to respect your partner's preferences. Each of the postcards you send should be in a theme or of a type inspired by your partner's profile.

Postcards should be in new or like-new condition. Please send something of a quality you would like to receive.

In order to receive a 5, your 3 postcards should meet the above criteria:please rate anyone a 5 as long as they meet these criteria. Hearts are of course at your own discretion.

As always, please do not sign up if you can't get your swap ready to send out by the send date. Please remember to include your name and the name of the swap.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Have fun swapping! ♥

May I point out a few ifffy's in this swap: Under the first heart guide line it states to "Always try to send your partner.................." which contradicts the name of this swap.2. If I rcv a partner (Int) that wants the postcards sent naked thats 3x 1.15$. Theres one or 2 more conflicts but I really want to be helpful.

Yes, I agree that these cards should be sent in an envelope and not naked and stamped. For those of us in the UK, 3 posted and stamped cards work out at £3 ($4.60 in US money) which is more than I would want to spend on postage for a simple card swap.

Thank you both. I'll change that and clarify the profile-based aspect of the swap. I didn't realize how expensive it is for various countries and I guess I was trying too hard to accommodate preferences in that area.
