...to make a proposal

A marriage proposal à la „Traumhochzeit/dream wedding” is not your type of thing? To pose the question of all questions to your partner in a dreamy restaurant with romantic candle light is boring and could be a complete flop? So now you are looking for a worthy possibility to tie the knot with the dearest? How about an alibicard from of Las Vegas or Paris?

Our text suggestion:

Mein My love!

Not for always, but forever! You are the most delicate temptation ever since there have been pretty women/men. Through this card from Las Vegas /Paris I want to ask you: do you want to marry me? This card is as real as my deep feelings for you.

I love you - signature

Tip:
Mention that a wedding in Las Vegas or Paris is possible, too!

…to tease the boss

Daily he gives you mountain of files, demands innumerable overtime without compensation and writes an ostentatious vacation card from the States every year. Now this is your tit-for-tat response: Sydney is even sunnier, more colourful and is even further away!

Unser Our text suggestion:

Hello boss!

Greetings from the beach in Sydney. I spontaneously jetted to Australia and I love it! I will take care of the files next week when I am back. I am sure you will manage without me till then.

Collegial greetings, signature

Tip:
Get yourself a travel book from our shop! So you have a strong alibi and everyone will be flabbergasted!

...to swank in front of your neighbours

He has been a pain in your neck for a long time: your neighbour shows off his new BMW7, his villa and the large pool? But now you talk back to him: your neighbour will stand there like a stuffed dummy when he receives your greetings from exotic Dubai.

Our text suggestion:

Hello dear neighbour!

Many vacation greetings from the orient. We are in Dubai at the moment, t h e shopping paradise. Here one can get everything the heart desires. Pity you cannot be here with us and have to freeze at home in winter.

Enjoy shovelling the snow, signature

Tip:
Get a small souvenir for your neighbour, for example sand from Dubai. Also some small change for your purse is great!

...for your parents

For years the parents cut back in order to finance your education or your study. Your parents always thought: hopefully the child will make it. Now they should be proud of their kid

Our text suggestion:

Dear mum and dad!

I made it. I smoked less for a year, jobbed incidentally and saved up every cent for a rainy day. Now I finally fulfilled my dream. You will hardly believe it: I am in the States right now, more precisely: in New York. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is impressing, just as the Empire State Building and the statue of liberty. You can be proud of me.

Your globetrotter, signature

Tip:
Send out a culture card, meaning a card with a well known sight, from Bangkok, Hong Kong or New York. That will make your parents even more proud. And these cards can be shown around well at the next coffee party in the family. Also mark the corresponding passage in the travel book – your parents will burst! Moreover you can show a couple of coins from your vacation country – nobody will ever smell a rat!

...to retaliate your expartner

You are not the one who gets abandoned? He has left you for someone else? She left you for a younger man? Now you can retaliate it to this bitch/bastard!

Our text suggestion:

Dear ex!

The loveliest greetings from our honeymoon! I have surprisingly married and now I am having the best days of my life on the Maldives. I am the happiest person in the world! Don’t be angry that it didn’t work out with us. I hope you are also fine?

Your formerly dearest.

Tip:
Select a very romantic card!

...to apologize for a forgotten rendezvous

Ouch, you have forgotten the date with your girlfriend/boyfriend? No problem: send her/him a nice apology card with a cogent reason.

Our text suggestion:

Hi my love!

Unfortunately I was not able to wait for you at the city hall clock past Monday like we had arranged because I had to attend an urgent meeting in Moscow/London/Vienna. You know - my stressful job! One day here, next day there. But I will bring along something pretty for you. My heart flies to you.

Thousand kisses - signature

Tip:
Spray on the favourite perfume of your honey on the card. Ladies like that!

...to make your club mates jealous!

Your club mates boasted thousands of times with their vacation, thousands of times you were envious. But now you talk back to them: send greetings from your supposed vacation to Rio or Mallorca. Your friends in the bowling club, your scat mates or regulars’ table will get the shock of their lives!

Our text suggestion:

Hey you rum blossoms!

I am roasting here in 30 degrees in the shade and great views on dreamy mountains (well, you know what I mean) in the sun at the hotel pool. Rio/Mallorca is just great! I am enjoying every day and night. I am back soon - if the girls let me.

Keep well, it’s a pity you are not here - signature

Tip:
Inquire about the bad weather at home and the sad marriage life of the pals. Your mates will hit the roof!

...as a hip x-mas gift

Is it socks, a book or perfume again as gifts under the Christmas tree? Oh, boring. Everybody is sick and tired of that. Why not give a real postcard from the wide world? So this year it is not a christmas carol but rather a hot greeting card from Cape Town.

Our text suggestion:

Surprise!

Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year! I didn’t want to give you socks again this year, but rather real greetings from South Africa. I went down to the southern tip of Africa just to open this card. I will also bring you a souvenir, promised!

Happy holidays - signature

Tip:
Mention that Santa Claus heavily sweats at the beach in South Africa. Surprise your loved ones with pretty souvenir, for example Sand bottles and postcard!

...to give the tax office the finger!

Are you overdue with your motor vehicle tax, have to pay an enormous back duty or the bailiff is about to become your best friends? Then write an apology card from Bangkok/Beijing and ensure therewith a further postponement.

Our text suggestion:

Dear officers!

I am in Asia at the moment in order to boost my business again and to find new customers/ dealers. Therefore I can only pay my debts first after my return only. My apology in advance.

Expansive greetings - signature

Tip:

Put your tax number on the card so the officials can attach your far travelled card to the corresponding file quickly.

...to surprise a stamp collector

You know a passionate stamp collector who loves to show around her/his Blue Penny? And she/he is still missing something - for example a stamp from China or Kenya? Be a real friend and help him to complete his collection.

Our text suggestion:

Dear collector!

I have jetted to China/Kenya quickly so that I can send you this pretty stamp. Are you happy?

Notched greetings - signature

Tip:
Mention that you would love to see her/his stamp collection after your return. If your collector friend gathers coins, too, get her/him a set – with our service no problem!

...to win a bet

I’ll bet you: the first of us both who is in Hong Kong/Johannesburg writes a postcard. You have won. Now all you have to do is to announce your victory to your bet partner quickly.

Our text suggestion:

My little looser!

I have always been the better one! I am the first to be in Hong Kong/Johannesburg. Do you still remember what we bet for? You can buy the champagne right away.

The winner - signature

Tip:

Also buy some pocket money and a used travel book of Hong Kong/Johannesburg in our shop. This is the perfect alibi!

postcards4you
...to indulge your narcism

You are in love with yourself. Send out a postcard to yourself from Miami, the Eldorado of the pretty and the rich. Let’s see what it says.

Our text suggestion:

My love!

Ah, that was great. Finally in Miami. Next year I will go there again. Of course on my own again. So I will be noticed easier and have a good time.

Kind greetings to me - signature

Tip:
Describe exactly what you want to experience. So the card could help you as a travel plan later on.

postcards4you
...to please the hobby botanist

She/he is a real flower child and knows every plant in the encyclopaedia. Each simple blade of grass gets inspected exactly and every botanical garden has to be visited.

Our text suggestion:

Dear flower friend!

I am in Cape Town at the moment and am studying Bird of Paradise Crane flowers, Proteas and Hibiscus en natura. They are much prettier than I ever thought and bloom wildly here.

Many bloomy greetings, signature

Tip:
This version is applicable for many hobbyists – no matter if zoologists (Sydney), historian (Vienna, Moscow, South Africa) or language geniuses (Beijing/Hong Kong/Bangkok/Dubai). You can make nearly everyone green with envy!

postcards4you
...to apologize for a missed party

You have been invited to a boring party or a stale birthday celebration again? And you are not keen on poky people, bad food and yawn attacks? Then we have a good excuse for you!

Our text suggestion:

Hello …!

What a pity that we couldn’t come to your party last weekend. We had already booked this weekend trip long time ago and have jetted to Mallorca/Ireland. But we clink our glasses to you with good wine/Guinness and we celebrate you!

Salud/cheers - signature

Tip:
As apology you can invite the hosts to a Spain restaurant or Irish pub so that they learn what a good mood is. Perhaps the parties will be better in the future?

postcards4you
...to get a weekend off

You have an exhausting job, screaming babies and an irritated wife at home? There is no vacation for a long time and you want nothing else than to sleep late, read a book in quiet and watch other things than Teletubbies on TV? Then simply invent a congress, a seminar or a company meeting!

Our text suggestion:

Hi honey!

The meeting is very tiring. We sit over the new guidelines of the company for the entire day. I had no chance to see anything of Berlin/Munich. I am really sorry that you have to watch the kids all on your own this weekend.

I’m thinking of you, greeting and kiss - Daddy

Tip:
If you need more time outs, book a multisectional advanced education course, for example 4 times a year! We can help you! Further good destinations are London, Vienna and Paris!
