Postcard Templates by Destination

Not every trip leaves you with the perfect photo. These are ready-made postcard fronts for popular US destinations — pick one, write your message on the back, and it goes in the mail the same way any other Earth Voyage card does.

Ready-made postcard fronts

A template is the front of the card, already designed. You choose one, write your own message on the back, and it prints and mails exactly like a card made from your own photo — same 4x6 glossy stock, same stamp, same delivery.

They exist for the trips where the photos did not come out, and for the times you want to send a card from a city you are not standing in.

Cities you can send from

Our destination designs cover popular US cities — New York, Miami, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago and more — and the collection grows based on what people vote for. If your city is missing, you can search for it and add your vote, which is what decides the ones we design next.

Layout options

Every design comes as landscape or portrait, and you can see the front and back before paying. Whichever you pick, the message side keeps its handwritten typeface and the address block stays where the postal service expects it.

Or use your own photo

Templates are the shortcut, not the point. If you have your own photo, use it — the editor takes a picture straight from your phone and puts it on the front of the card.

Planning the trip itself

If the trip is still ahead of you, our free travel tools are worth a look before you go: a destination finder for deciding where, and a packing list generator for what to take.

Frequently asked questions

Do templates cost more than using my own photo?

No. The price is the same whichever front you choose — $4.99 for a single postcard, including printing, the stamp and delivery.

Can I add my own message to a template?

Yes, and you should. The template is only the front of the card; the back is yours to write.

What if there is no template for my city?

Search for the city in the template picker and add your vote. The vote ranking is what we use to decide which destinations to design next.
