Tips in Choosing the Best Birthday Postcard

It’s no surprise for you to be very wary or careful in choosing the best birthday postcard, considering that you will be handing them to people who mean a lot to you. Well, here are some tips to help you out with it:

• Choose a birthday postcard with a celebrant’s type of design. There are various designs of birthday postcards. There are vintage, playful, heavily saturated, seemingly hand-painted pictures and more that you can choose from. But, your interest in choosing which you think is the best one should not be the basis of choosing it. It should be the interest of the special someone since you are not celebrating your birthday. Since the taste of people differs from another, you can ask the celebrant days before her birthday what beauty is for her. This, at least, gives you an idea about what the celebrant’s interests are. Although this increases the task in looking for that birthday postcard, at least you know what you’re looking for. The ideal birthday postcard would be the design that best represents him/her as a character and his/her taste.
• Make use of today’s digital medias. Instead of visiting different stores in your search of a birthday postcard, you can just look it up in the internet. You can even make use of e-cards, since most e-cards have these funny or witty captions that reminds you of a memory with the celebrant.
• Consider the size of the postcard. You have to consider the length of the message you are going to write because you can only fit so many words in it. If you are going to be wordy about your birthday message, add some stickers, silly pictures in it, the most ideal size of that card would be 6×11 or even bigger.
