Stickers on a postcard?

April 15, 2020 1:47 PM

Can I put stickers on a postcard and still be pretty sure it will be delivered with a regular postcard stamp? Nothing with googly eyes, etc., just a couple standard flat stickers to spice things up. I am in the US and would rather not go inside a post office to ask right now.

Best answer: Yes. I do this to my epistolary friends all.the.time. As long as you have a legible address and correct postage, USPS makes it happen.

Best answer: Yup, as a proud member of the Metafilter card club, I frequently put stickers all over postcards.

Best answer: Yes, I do this all the time. Flat stickers are no issue. Puffy ones gum up the machines. And yes, check your postcard size.

Response by poster: Thanks, mail experts! I was pretty sure I was ok but it is good to have confirmation. I had some 4x6 postcards printed because I am Fancy, so I know they are the right size.
