What started on July 14th, 2005 as a simple idea — to connect people through postcards — has grown into a vibrant, welcoming community that spans the globe. Over the past 20 years, millions of postcards have crossed oceans and borders, carrying stories, smiles, and small moments of kindness between strangers.
At its heart, Postcrossing is a celebration of connection, proving that even in a fast-paced and digital world, a handwritten message and a simple postcard can make someone’s day a little brighter. None of this would be possible without you, the incredible community who keeps those mailboxes busy and hearts full. Thank you for being part of this journey! 💙❤️

Celebrate 20 years of Postcrossing with us!
This year, Postcrossing turns 20 and we’d love for you to be part of the celebration!
We’re inviting you to take a special photo featuring you and 20 postcards. How you do it is entirely up to you! Hold them up proudly, fan them out like a deck of cards, arrange them into the number “20”, or take them on a little adventure to your favorite postbox or the nicest spot in your town. Get creative, have fun, and show us how you celebrate this amazing milestone!
Ready to join in? Grab your postcards and let’s make this a celebration to remember! 📮✨
