What is a thank you postcard?

A thank you postcard is an easy way to express your gratitude for someone or something. Postcards are typically small, A5-sized cards with a design on the front and a blank back to include a short message and an address. Many people send postcards to say thank you for attending events such as weddings or graduations. If you receive a gift for Christmas or a graduation, sending a custom postcard can be a thoughtful way of saying thank you.

How to make a thank you postcard with Adobe Express.

Creating your very own custom thank you postcards is easier than you might think. With Adobe Express’ free tools and templates, you can bring your postcards to life!

1. Choose a free postcard template or start from scratch.

If you have a design in mind, you can create your own thank you postcard from the ground up with Adobe Express’ free tools. On the other hand, if you’d like a spot of inspiration, you can use one of our templates at no extra cost.

2. Add your own photos for a personal touch.

One way to make your thank your postcards stand out is to add photos to the design. These work best if they’re related to the purpose of the card. For example, if you’re thanking someone for attending a wedding, consider including a snap of you and your new spouse.

3. Write your thank you message.

Once the design is done, you can include a message on the back. You can choose to write this by hand for a personal feel, but if you’d prefer, you can use our text effects to bring your words to life.

4. Address your postcard.

Don’t forget to leave space on your postcard for addresses! Again, you can include the address in the design, but if you’re printing multiples, you may want to section off a blank space for addresses.

5. Print and post – or download and share.

Once you’re happy with your design, you can print out your customised thank you postcards and pop them in the post. If you want to take a decidedly more 21^st century approach, you can always download and email your thanks to your friends and family.

Personalised thank you postcards.

Personalising your thank you postcards is an easy way to make them stand out. Not only will they be unique, but the personalisation shows that you’ve put thought and effort into the final product. There are many ideas you can choose from to personalise your postcard, from photos, specific messages or simply including the recipient’s name.

Wedding thank you postcards.

Thank you postcards after weddings are used to thank people for their attendance or any gifts they might have given you. It’s common to include images of the event, typically you and your partner or, if you’d prefer, a photo from the wedding of you and the recipient of the postcard. You can include personalised touches that include thanking them for a specific gift.

Christmas thank you postcards.

Christmas is often seen as a period of goodwill, but there’s no reason you can’t extend the sentiment by sending thank you postcards in the new year. If you’ve received a gift from a friend or family member that you weren’t able to see in person over Christmas, then a postcard can let them know how grateful you are for your presents.

Birthday thank you postcards.

Graduation thank you postcards.

After you graduate, you might want to express your thanks to everyone who supported you through your studies. This could be teachers or lecturers, your parents or family members, or even friends who helped you get the grades you wanted. If you’re thinking of creating graduation thank you postcards, consider personalising them with photos of the ceremony.

Business thank you postcard ideas.

Regardless of the size of your company, a thank you postcard can be a great way to share your gratitude. Useful for both B2B and B2C businesses, a postcard is not only a way to say thank you but also to stay at the forefront of someone’s mind.
