The Original Way to Post (No WiFi Required)

The Original Way to Post (No WiFi Required)

We didn’t set out to start a postcard company.

We set out to solve a problem we kept feeling in our own lives.  We created Postworthy because we were tired of pretending the digital world was actually making us feel more connected. 

Sure, we had the group chats, the DMs, the feeds.  But the more we scrolled, the more we felt like something was missing — like real connection was getting lost somewhere between the algorithms and the overwhelm.  We're NOT "anti-social media," we just think that the digital world should complement our tangible world (instead of replacing it).

We noticed people taking more social media breaks than ever (ourselves included) and we kept asking each other:

When was the last time you got something in the mail that made you happy

Not a bill.  Not a flyer.  Something from someone you care about.  Something that felt… real.

That question stuck with us.  And it sparked something.

We started sending messages with postage — to people we hadn't talked to in years, and instead of awkward catch-up texts, we shared moments on paper.  The kind of moments you keep.  The kind that say “I see you” in a way a like button never could.

That’s when we knew this could be something bigger.

 

Postworthy isn’t just a postcard company. It’s our love letter to humanity.

  • To tiny efforts that make a big difference.
  • To friendships that deserve to be revived.
  • To strangers who could use a smile.
  • To mental health, and not taking yourself too seriously.
  • To real, meaningful connection, without the scroll.

 

We chose postcards because they’re simple.  They’re short.  They lower the barrier between “I should reach out” and actually doing it.  And ours come pre-stamped, pre-witty, and built to deliver something we all crave: proof that someone out there is thinking of us. 

Because we genuinely believe that doing a little good, even sarcastically, can go a long way.  And we think if enough people start sharing moments like these, the ripple effects could be incredible.

Underneath the wit and chaos, Postworthy has a very real mission:
 To help people feel closer.  To bring joy into the mundane.  To remind you (and others) that you matter.

We want to build a brand that creates more than cards.  We want to build a community — one that shares stories, lifts each other up, and remembers what it’s like to feel seen

So, thanks for being here. We can’t wait to see what you write, who you surprise, and what kind of stories get sent into the world.
