I have been thinking about this all day and i think it is a cute idea i hope you agree! Sometimes when i recieve postcards i think "wouldn't it be nice to be able to send a postcard back and get to know the sender" so on this swap that is what we are going to do! We will send 2 postcards to one person, the first postcard will tell the reciever a bit about you! (just imagine you are writing a opening letter to a new pen-pal) Clearly you can not get much on a postcard so its up to you if you want to send the postcard naked or in a envelope, if you choose to send it in a envelope you are welcome to send little surprises along with the postcard. When the reciever, recieves the postcard they will send a postcard back like they would when answering the letter, or in this case a postcard! When the origanal person gets a postcard back, they will reply on a postcard and send it off and when it is recieved the second person will reply on back of a postcard. When both parties have sent 2 postcards, it is up to the 2 parties if they want to become pen-friends and then it is up to them if they want to carry on using postcards or do they want to start writing letters on paper. No paper letters must be sent while the first 4 postcards are being exchanged! I hope you have all managed to follow-lol! All are welcome to join, but please dont join if you intend to flake! I'm sure your not that hard up for a price of 2 postcards and 2 stamps. I am giving a sending date for the original person to send there 2 postcards a month so if you join i suggest you send to your partner the 1st postcard more or less stright away it gives you a chance to get a reply and the chance to send your second postcard off. Any questions or comments please PM me.

This sounds good, but just to make sure I've understood properly, will we send 4 cards in total? 2 to the partner we are allocated to send to and 2 in reply to the person who sends to us? On my watchlist!

First postcard was mailed today to my partner. It's coming from the U.S. to Canada -- which for some reason takes forever.

My first postcard was mailed today to my partner in France.

My first postcard is sent to the UK! When should I click the 'sent' url, now or after the 2nd postcard?
