Buying Postcards — Guide& Tips
Whether as a loving greeting for a birth, birthday, or just in between: postcards for children are small ambassadors of joy. In this category you will find 22 different motifs specially tailored to the world of babies and toddlers. From cute animal motifs to fantastic circus scenes to modern dinosaur designs – each card tells its own story. But what should you look out for when buying? The paper is crucial: high-quality, sturdy postcards don't crease as quickly and are easy to write on. Pay attention to child-friendly, non-toxic coloring – especially if the card later ends up in the child's room. The formats vary: classic DIN-A6 postcards fit in any mailbox, larger formats are especially suitable as small wall decorations. Many motifs are double-sided printed, with a harmonious overall look on the front and back. Particularly popular are postcards from the stationery, which are characterized by loving illustrations. If you want to give a card as a gift, combine it with a paper gift bag – this makes a complete gift set. Tip: Choose the motif to match the child's personality – dinosaurs for little adventurers, circus motifs for dreamers, and lamb motifs for the very youngest.
The quality of a postcard reveals itself in the details: rounded corners are not only visually appealing but also practical, as they tear less quickly. Matte surfaces are easier to write on than glossy ones, since ink doesn't bleed. Some cards even have space for a personal message or a small drawing on the back. Many buyers also value environmental friendliness: postcards made from FSC-certified paper are a sustainable choice. Last but not least: think about storage – a beautiful postcard can later, as a keepsake, end up in a memory book or photo album. So take a look at the variety and choose the card that best suits the recipient and the occasion.

Frequently asked questions about postcards for children
What paper weight is ideal for postcards?
For postcards, we recommend a paper weight of at least 250 g/m². This weight ensures that the card is sturdy and does not bend. Lighter cards (under 200 g/m²) are cheaper, but often look cheap and can be easily damaged in the mailbox. High-quality postcards often use natural paper or FSC-certified cardboard – which not only feels good but is also more environmentally friendly. Also pay attention to a smooth surface that can be easily written on with a ballpoint pen or fountain pen.
Can I also hang the postcards in the children's room?
Yes, many buyers use beautiful postcards as decoration in children's or baby rooms. They are excellent for a clothesline with clothespins or small frames. Make sure the colors are lightfast so they don't fade quickly. The designs in our category are child-friendly and contain no sharp edges or small parts. For attachment, it is best to use harmless adhesive dots or magnets if the card is to stick to a metal surface.
Are there postcards that match a birthday set?
Absolutely! Many of our postcards combine wonderfully with other stationery items. Particularly recommended is the addition of a paper gift bag or a invitation card in the same design style. This creates a harmonious overall package for the birthday party. Friendship books or memory books also fit thematically – children can record their best moments here. If in doubt, ask for motifs that you would like to combine, or choose a neutral card that suits many occasions.
How do I best store postcards?
Store unused postcards flat and dry, preferably in a box or folder with clear sleeves. This keeps them wrinkle-free and clean. Gifted or self-designed cards can be collected in a memory book – this protects them from dust and makes them viewable at any time. A tip: sort the cards by occasion or date so you can quickly find the right card later. Avoid direct sunlight, as the colors may otherwise fade.
More categories from the stationery department
The stationery for baby & and child includes not only postcards, but also many other beautiful items that complement each other perfectly. If you are planning a birthday party, for example, are invitation cards the ideal choice – they get the guests in the mood for the party and can be chosen in the same design as the postcards. Also Folding cards offer more space for personal messages and are especially suitable for longer congratulations or thank-you cards. Those looking for a holistic gift, on the other hand, can opt for paper gift bags, which you can fill with a postcard and a small present.
Furthermore, in the higher-level category Stationery there are many more treasures: friendship books, memory books, and special brands distinguished by high-quality illustrations.
