USPS carries it anywhere in the US, typically arriving in 5–10 business days.
Testimonials
From real mailboxes.
“Ink Dove made sending a fun and thoughtful postcard incredibly easy! Love the quick and simple way to create a memorable surprise without the hassle. Will definitely be using it again.”
— Suzie, CA “When I got my Ink Dove, my wife thought it was just a generic postcard check-in from my doctor's office. Instead, it was a thoughtful, personal note from a friend who was sending encouragement after a surgery. What a great idea!”
— Louie, NY “Receiving a piece of mail with so many pictures of our beloved dog and a heartfelt message on the back really lifted us up during a tough time.”
— Greg, MD

Why real mail
A digital notification disappears the moment you glance at it. A physical postcard sits on the counter, gets moved to the fridge, and shows up in a drawer years later. That's the whole idea.
Questions & answers
The three we hear most.
- What is Ink Dove?
- Ink Dove is a web app that lets you design a real, physical postcard on your phone and have it printed and mailed anywhere in the US. You write the message and choose the design; we handle printing, postage, and mailing.
- How much does it cost?
- A 4×6 postcard costs $1.79 and a 6×9 postcard costs $2.29. The price includes printing, postage, and mailing — there are no extra fees at checkout.
- How long does delivery take?
- Postcards typically arrive within 5–10 business days of checkout. This includes about 1–2 business days for printing and the rest for USPS First-Class delivery. We'd rather give you an honest range than an optimistic promise.
