40 Funny Things to Write on a Postcard

You know that awkward moment when you sit down to sign a card and suddenly forget how to function? You spent quality time picking out the perfect message — one that already says most of what you wanted — but then you freeze. Do you just sign your name? Draw a doodle? Write “lol”?

Relax. We’ve got your back (and your sense of humor). Our postcards already do most of the talking, but if you want to go the extra, extra mile, here are 40 ideas for what to scribble before you pop that baby in the mail. Because let’s be honest: a little personality never hurt anybody.

 

Funny One-Liners

Perfect for any occasion or no occasion at all. Whether it’s a birthday, a breakup, or a Tuesday, laughter is a universal love language.

1. “Sending this instead of a text because I actually care.”
2. “Proof I can communicate without emojis.”
3. “Just wanted to remind you I’m still alive (and mildly thriving).”
4. “Look at me, sending real mail like it’s 1999.
5. “Proof I made it to the mailbox. You’re worth the errand.”
6. “Finally using my adult handwriting for something important.”
7. “If you got this, congrats — you made my ‘ kind-of worth writing to’ list.”
8. “Sorry for the handwriting. My penmanship peaked in third grade.”
9. “Hope this makes your mailbox feel something.”
10. “This is basically my love language in rectangle form.”

 

Sweet & Supportive Messages

Sometimes funny isn’t enough — sometimes you just want someone to know you care (without getting too sappy).

1. “You’re doing great. Like, suspiciously great.”
2. “Here’s your official reminder that you’re awesome.”
3. “Just checking in before I forget how to be thoughtful.”
4. “You make the world slightly less terrible.”
5. ““Saw this postcard and thought, ‘You deserve something that’s not a bill.’”
6. “No reason for this. Just you. Existing. Crushing it.”
7. “You’re top-tier human material. Thanks for being great.”
8. “Hope this finds you before the Sunday Scaries do.”
9. “Sending proof that someone’s thinking of you — in writing, not just online.”
10. “You deserve a nap, a snack, and a standing ovation.”

 

Mildly Unhinged 

For those who thrive on chaos, sarcasm, and questionable life choices. (We see you.)

1. “This postcard is my cry for help. Or attention. TBD.”
2. “I had something important to say but forgot mid-thought.”
3. “If you’re reading this, I probably overshared again.”
4. “My brain said ‘reach out,’ and my hand said ‘write something weird.’”
5. “Consider this my formal re-entry into your life.”
6. “Sending proof I’m still functional (mostly).”
7. “Just checking in from the land of questionable decisions.”
8. “If I texted, you’d forget. So I mailed proof I exist.”
9. “Let’s just pretend I’m not unwell.”
10. “I almost wrote something normal here, but then I remembered who I am.”

 

Romantic & Flirty

Forget flowers. Mail is the new foreplay. Let them know you’ve got range — and stationery.

1. “Something to remember me by — until I text again.”
2. “This postcard is my way of saying: I’m still here, still into you.”
3. “Consider this my rebrand from texting to trying.”
4. “Licked the stamp and thought of you.”
5. “Sliding into your mailbox felt classier than your DMs.”
6. “If you think this postcard is cute, wait till you meet the sender.”
7. “You’ve officially been posted about.”
8. “Sending this to see if you’ll take the hint.”
9. “I’d write more, but I’m saving it for our wedding vows.”
10. “Hope this gets to you before I change my mind. Kidding. Obviously.”

 

So there you have it — 40 ways to fill that postcard without breaking a sweat (or your funny bone). Whether you’re sending love, chaos, or a little of both, your words don’t have to be perfect, they just have to be Postworthy.
