There are so many creative people out there…one such being Jordan from Oh Happy Day. She teamed up with Yahoo!Mail to create this special DIY project entitled Postcard Birthday Poster. It sounded perfect for my best friend’s 30th birthday…especially because many of his close friends & family live in other states.
Jordan’s blog post comes complete with step-by-step directions, beautiful photographs & even all 25 downloadable postcards. Since I was in a time crunch & going for 30 and not 25 postcards I created a word document which I took to FedEx/Kinkos to have blown up, laminated & cut into the 30 (4 ¼ X 6”) postcards.
I sent out all of the pre-addressed & stamped postcards with directions to the intended 30 friends & family at the end of June. That way all through-out the month of July my friend started receiving the postcards.
Unbelievably the last of the cards arrived the day before his July 29th Birthday. It was so special hearing how his confusion at first turned into excitement and anticipation as the poster slowly came together.
I loved receiving text messages with him proudly declaring his progress… 
I highly encourage anyone out there to try this little poster project…it was a big hit, packaged with a lot of love! And check out Oh Happy Day for many more ingenious ideas!
