Sending Easter Greetings: DIY Motifs, Text Ideas & Postcard Tips

No more bills in the mailbox! Surprise your loved ones at the start of spring with a personal postcard – without any glue sticks or glitter chaos.

Spring is here, nature is waking up, and Easter is just around the corner. Besides chocolate bunnies and egg hunts, there's hardly anything better than finding real, tangible spring greetings in the mailbox.

A WhatsApp message with a bunny emoji is quickly typed – and just as quickly forgotten. A real postcard, on the other hand, often gets a place of honor on the fridge. In this guide, we'll show you how to easily create creative DIY motifs with your smartphone, when the card needs to be in the mail at the latest, and which texts are guaranteed to make them smile.

The Macro Egg Shooting (DIY)

You colored or painted eggs? Perfect! Arrange them in some moss or on a nice wooden table. Use the macro mode (or portrait mode) of your smartphone, focus on an egg in the foreground and let the background blur. A total pro motif!

Digitizing Children's Artwork

Grandma and Grandpa are most happy about the grandkids' creations. Photograph your children's latest finger paint works or colored pencil bunnies in good daylight. It's best to also include a photo of the "making-of" on the card!

The First Spring Walk

Often a snapshot of the first crocuses, blooming magnolias or the family in rubber boots during a spring walk is enough. Real joy lies in authentic moments, not in staged studio photos.

Frequently Asked Questions about sending postcards at Easter

When is the latest I should send my Easter card?

Since Good Friday and Easter Monday are public holidays, the post does not deliver on these days (Saturday is delivered as regular). To be safe, you should send your card by the Monday or Tuesday before the Easter weekend.

Where can I find free motifs for my Easter greetings?

There are platforms on the internet like Unsplash or Pexels that offer millions of free, professional photos. Search terms like "Easter", "Spring" or "Tulips" provide the best results. In our guide for free motifs, we explain exactly how it works.

How do I turn children's drawings into a postcard?

This is the best DIY hack! Have the kids paint an Easter picture, place the paper on the floor in good daylight, and photograph it vertically from above. You can then upload this photo to slickpostcard – this way you send artworks without giving away the original.

What do you write on an Easter card for business clients?

Keep it professional but warm-hearted. Example: "We wish you and your team a sunny Easter, relaxing holidays, and a wonderful start to spring. Thank you for the great collaboration!"
