If you are interested, please fill out the official sign-up form Click here
I/Someone (if interested) will design a few styles of meet-up cards for this theme and you will be able to pick out which one you like to order.
Note that these cards are not mandatory or anything for the meetup, but just a fun "limited edition" card that is provided to commemorate the meetup
and to share the joy of postcrossing with the world! You can send these during the meetup/keep as a souvenir/or even mail it to friends and family
during the meetup.
Again, if you are interested in the celebration, please leave a comment below!! THANK YOU!! Hope to meet you soon!!

- Postcard swapping
- Sign designed postcrossing meet-up cards
- and of course....write as many cards as we can to send out to the world!
What should I bring? (not mandatory, just some suggestions)
- Pens, markers, stickers, washi tape, decorative stamps etc. (anything you like to write or decorate cards with)
- Postage stamps (so we can mail as many cards as we can!)

Good afternoon Helen!
I would enjoy a meetup on October 5th - I have a wedding to attend at 5pm, so if I were to attend, it would need to be around lunchtime.
Don't go planning anything around me, but I am definitely interested!
Thanks and have a great day,
Emma |

Dear Helen and other Plano postcrossers,
We'd like to invite everyone organizing meetings around the 150th anniversary of postcards to do something a little bit extra on the day, if possible.
 Here are some suggestions:
- Broadcast a little video message from your meeting, either live or by recording a video and uploading it. For example, sing or wish the postcard a
happy birthday, or show the world what your celebrations look like.
- Connect with another meetup happening simultaneously in another location, so that a small moment of connection can be established between the 2 groups of
postcard enthusiasts! Remember to reach out to the respective meetup organizer beforehand, in order to exchange contacts and sort out a suitable time.
- Take pictures and share them with us! Tag them #150yearsofpostcards or send them to us on social media or via email, so that we can share them with the whole community. We would like everyone to feel included and to show the world what the celebrations
of this special milestone look like.
Most of all, we hope you enjoy the event and this special day together — it's a birthday party, so remember to relax and have fun.
Good luck, and long live the postcard!
