How are you celebrating World Postcard Day? Share your pictures and experiences

Hi! Happy WPD! Don’t meant to interrupt the current conversation but I tried looking up the answer on previous blogs and not sure it was clear for me yet.

Wanted to clarify how would one get the World Postcard Day badge? Do you request addresses, write the postcards today, send, then when they’re received, the badge will appear? Or do the postcards have to be received exactly today?

I’ve been on a 7 year hiatus and never got a chance to participate during WPD :upside_down_face:

WPD an Postcrossing

No hand-cancellation, and I’m afraid it will only be processed on Tuesday (long weekend because of a holiday), but at least I’m sending from Hamburg with a Hamburg stamp, so… I’m trying?!? :laughing:

Germany has a holiday on monday, too, so my cards will wait a bit longer in the mailbox. But at least they not alone, I’m sure the cards throw their own WPD-Party in there! :partying_face: :postbox:

I had already posted some Postcrossing cards, now I’m writing some cards to friends and family. :smiley:

Exactly this, though you don’t even have to send them today. You just have to get the address from Postcrossing today.

Today on Saturday and very “beautiful North German Schietwetter” we have a lot of time to participate in the world postcrossing day. We write our fingers to the bone and carry on. Have a great day around the world.

I was intrigued by this experiment so I tried my own. I drew an address at 11:25 A.M. then again at 12:25 P.M. and 845 cards had been requested by USA users!

Very cool!! Neat that the numbers are similar. Thank you for sharing :grin:

I just checked the number of travelling cards: almost 400.000!

Of course, not all of these cards are from today, still this is a impressive number :smiley:

The cards I’ve written today! I was too eager and I was almost out of stamps. But I’ve scraped them together and soon these cards will be travelling.
