I can’t find any decent postcards anywhere in my town. I’m also having a hard time finding them online. The only ones I see in gas stations and at the post office are state related. Where can I get FUN or UNIQUE postcards??

I recommend making your own. My friend used to cut out portions of cereal boxes and use them as postcards. I thought it was pretty creative.
Museum stores often have them – but making your own is cheaper, more unique, and less wasteful. Hadn’t even thought of that.
Okay I will have to try that! :) Thank you!
Sometimes drug stores carry them. Also stationary stores usually have a pretty good selection.
Bookstores such as Borders have them.
You can make them out of pictures you’ve taken at Moo. I did that and was flabbergasted at the quality. It’s pretty darn professional.

I’ve used old cards, before. If the backside of design side is plan and a good flat surface, I just use it, instead of buying a new postcard. This way, I get to share something that I thought was interesting looking or funny and I am reusing something instead of just wasting paper. Just make sure you do the right postage, if they are a really odd size.
If I am purchasing one, it’s usually at Borders.
Hallmark or other gift card store would carry them.
Really depends on the mood you want to convey as to where you will find the right ones.
I’ve used photographs for postcards. It’s fun to get a picture of a good time you’ve had as mail.
Wow! These are great answers everyone!
