Hey there, Postcrossing pals!
Join me for an extraordinary Postcrossing Meetup at the renowned San Francisco International Pen Show 2024! Immerse yourself in a vibrant atmosphere filled with fellow postcard enthusiasts and penmanship lovers.
Things to look forward to when at the show :
âśż Postcard Exchange & A Free Pile :
You can bring a signature rubber stamp if you have one (smaller is better). Self-inking stamps dry quickly like an x-stamper, preventing ink smudging. Alternatively, bring pens to sign postcards.
Additionally, you can bring postcards, stickers, washi tapes, or anything else you’d like to share at your table. There will be a “Free Pile” box where you can add postcards that you no longer want. You never know your unwanted postcards might become someone else’s treasure. Got any special postcards or stories to show-off? Bring them along. We love a good postcard tale!
âśż Exclusive Shopping Experience :
Explore a vast array of rubber stamps, stationery, writing tools and stationery from numerous vendors.
Whether you’re looking for rare , exquisite stationery, or the perfect pen, you’ll find it here. Here is the full VENDOR’S LIST for this year’s show!
âśż Fun Activities :
Engage in fun-filled raffle and other games designed to celebrate our love for postcards and snail mail. Expect prizes, laughter, and maybe even some snail-related puns
âśż Workshops & Seminars :
The Pen Show isn’t just about shopping. Check out the free and paid seminars to geek out over all things penmanship and paper. It’s like school, but way more fun. Check out this year’s CLASSES and SEMINARS

✿ Deadline for Ordering the Cards : I am not setting a deadline as such for ordering meetup cards because our event happens at another major event. I’m excited to welcome folks who might discover us directly at the show, many of whom may not yet know about the wonderful world of Postcrossing. My goal is to spread the word about our loving community and our mission to make the world a better place, one postcard at a time.
However, after August 10, no new reservations for meetup cards can be made directly here. The left over cards will be available on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of the event. Payments can be made in cash (exact change only) or via Venmo!
✿ Looking for good Stationery Stores to explore when in SF?! : The wonderful @capybaracrossing has put together an amazing map highlighting all the must-visit stationery stores in the city.If you’re going to be in town for a bit, why not take some time to check out a few of these stores? Whether you’re a seasoned stationery enthusiast or just love discovering postcard finds, these spots are sure to add some extra fun to your trip.
I am very excited to see you there and make this meetup a blast! Let’s celebrate our love for postcards, penmanship, and all things paper together!
For more information or any questions, please contact me here or via personal Postcrossing message or through my Instagram account. Any mode is welcome hehe
Happy Postcrossing!
Love, Geet
