Card Swap 2013 -> all done!

[xeevee]

Oh that is super helpful, thanks, Mkia9!

  That's not a stupid question at all!  Post cards (or postcards) are just one smaller (maybe 12cm by 17cm) piece of stiff paper, usually with a picture on the front and a small area to write on on the back.  You don't mail them inside an envelope. 

  Greeting cards are usually a folded, slightly larger stiff piece of paper with a picture on the front and writing inside, and sent inside an envelope.  Post cards are less expensive to mail, usually, and kind of like sending a short friendly note.  Greeting cards are a little more formal and fancy and can be pretty elaborate. 

  Those aren't formal definitions but I hope that helps.

Okay, thank you!

No problem! . There's also a 5x7 size for a little over a dollar if you'd prefer a bigger postcard

Hehe . I'm devising possible options also.

I'm trying to decide if my mare will let me do weird Christmas things to her for a picture. Course she might also not agree to such foolishness.

Cute idea! This is one I can't join because I'm full but am so excited to watch and see the brags

Thad be so cute!! xD

Hmm, not thrilled about the postcard format either I was looking forward to the regular greeting card type swap! Ah well. I don't know what happened last year, as I missed the deadline, but it's unfortunate if something happened that has caused drastic changes.

I do love hanging christmas cards on a string though, so would have to figure out something different for postcards. I'll have to think about this a bit and decide if I want to sign up or not.

[Beldarna]

Um.. This is probably a really stupid question, but since english is not my first language I'm going to ask anyways. What is the difference between a postcard and a greeting card?

I was acutally wondering the same thing and would have asked had you not to.


I would love to participate this year as well. Postcards are generally the things we send within Sweden so it won't be a problem for me finding such. I'll send a PM shortly.

[MikeysGrrrl]

I figured I would go ahead and fill this out in advance, application has been sent in

Favorite Color(s)? I love violet purple, lime green and teal blue

Favorite Animal(s)? Penguins, owls, wolves, elephants and tigers

Favorite MLP? G1 Baby Glory, G4 Rarity and G4 Fluttershy

Other tidbits of information? My husband and I met in highschool but didn't get together until 18 yrs later, we recently got an orange tabby cat who we named Cinnamon and I love cards with a vintage design and colour scheme

Your winter holiday? Christmas and New Years

[Radha]

Ohh, New Year's Day.  I hadn't thought about that. (Starts picturing sparkly party ponies...)

Aww come on guys - I know it's different, but it's not a bad thing. We are trying something new and fun for the swap this year. We'll see how it goes and tweak things as needed for next year.

I'd hate for any members to get discouraged from joining after seeing these comments. If you really don't want to join with the new changes, then don't join - but please let others make their own decisions on if it's good or bad.

There are lots of ways to still hang postcards for display - decorated clothes pegs, paper clips, even a small hole with some ribbon.

As for limiting it to 5 cards this year - there are many reasons behind that decision, which don't need to be discussed here. If you have any major concerns you can always PM me (either this account or the ArenaHunt account).

I think postcards will be fun :]. Not what I was expecting, but I'm not against it either! I'm sure plenty of people will still join, Kiwi It seemed like last year had some difficulties, so the need for changes can definitely be understood.

Come on guys! Join in the fun of sending holiday postcards!
