At home
If you want create a professional looking post card or invitation at home you’ll need three basic ingredients:

• The right software program; this can be a common desktop publishing program like Microsoft Word or the more extensive Adobe Photoshop. You can also use software which is specially designed for card making. These mostly come with (not very original) templates. Here you can read my review about greeting card software programs.
  
• The right inkjet or laser printer; for inkjets I would recommend Canon or Epson because of their high price-quality value. They both offer good overall printing results. And because they come with separate colour cartridges they also work pretty cost-efficient. Here you can learn more about how to get the best post card printing results.
  
• The right printable paper; brands like Strathmore, Kodak, HP, Epson and Canon offer blank paper cards in different sizes and textures (e.g. glossy, pearl, matte). These can be single flat cards or folded cards. Best choose the matte, non-glare, texture for a store bought look.

Create post card online
There are many webservices to make your own post card online. Mostly they offer two ways to do so.

One way is by using a template, on which you can write a message. Once the design has your approval it will be printed out on paper. This isn’t the most original way to surprise your friends.

The other way is by uploading your own picture or image. This now is the real custom way that your friends surely will appreciate.
