To address a postcard correctly, follow these steps:
- On the back of the postcard, locate the right-hand side. This is where you will write the recipient's address.
- Write the recipient's full name on the first line, including any titles such as Mr., Mrs., or Dr. if appropriate.
- Below the name, add the full address line by line neatly: house or apartment number, street name, city, state or region, and postal code. For international postcards, include the destination country in capital letters on the last line.
- The left side of the back is for your personal message.
- Place the postage stamp in the upper right corner of the address section.
- Optionally, you can write the date in the top left corner of the message side to indicate when the postcard was sent.
- For return address (optional), write your own address in the top left corner of the back side to get the postcard returned if undeliverable.
This layout helps postal services quickly read and deliver your postcard correctly.
