Happy World Postcard Daaaaaaaaay! 🎉 Today’s the day to grab a postcard and send a "paper bridge" and a bit of joy into the world. Whether you’re sending one card or a whole stack, celebrating at a meetup or writing quietly at home, we hope you have a brilliant day!

For this week’s #PostboxSaturday, we’re traveling to Ho Chi Minh City (aka Saigon) with postcrosser Helen, who visited the city’s beautiful main post office!

There's postcard and philatelic stands, nice floor tiles, grand arches... and even tables where people can sit down and write their postcards! 😍 Wide view of the yellow-and-white Saigon Central Post Office building, with a large clock above the entrance and people gathered outside under a blue sky. by @postcrossing

The Little Mail Carriers are still island-hopping across the Pacific, and their latest stop was French Polynesia! 🇵🇫 They found beautiful postmarks, warm welcomes, turquoise waters and a few travel surprises along the way, including one very patient ship.

Follow their adventures on the blog, at postcrossing.com/blog! 🌺 by @postcrossing

"If you're bored
find a hobby! " A hand holds up a postcard featuring half a photo of the sun's corona during an eclipse and a graffiti on the back saying in Spanish: if you're bored, find a hobby. by @postcrossing

It's about 2 months until #WorldPostcardDay, but we're already gearing up for October 1st with this brilliant postcard design by Oce (aka @ohhsayy)!   

The theme is "Paper Bridges”, and it celebrates how a small piece of paper becomes a bridge between two people.
 
As always, the design is made available for free to download and print, and this year, we even have an outline version for children to color — enjoy! 2026 World Postcard Day postcard design titled Paper Bridges by Oce, featuring bold teal and orange lettering woven with folded white paper ribbons forming bridge-like arches, set against a cream background with a sun, crescent moon, and birds. by @postcrossing

Look at these beauties! These vintage PO boxes are at the Roslindale post office branch in Boston, Massachusetts, and were shared with us by Emely, who says there’s a long waiting list to get one...

Who wouldn't want their mail waiting behind one of these little doors?

How cool is this!!

Teacher Izzy recently wrote to let us know that, after seeing the Graceful Envelope Contest mentioned on the Postcrossing blog, she invited her students (who have their own Postcrossing club at the school) to participate and create their own artworks.

And… one of them won an honorable mention! Congratulations to Enéa, whose envelope illustrated the May 1968 uprising in France for this year’s theme, “Great Beginnings”.

Hurraaaaaaay! 🎉🎉🎉 by @postcrossing
