Common questions

Is this actually personalized, or just a template?: Actually personalized. We start with the photo you upload and generate an original illustration in your chosen style — watercolor, cartoon, painterly, vintage, modern, and more. No template, no name-swap.
What do you write in a thank you card for a teacher?: Something specific. The one thing she did this year that mattered most — the moment your kid felt seen, the project that lit them up, the day she handled something hard. Specific beats sentimental every time. Stuck? Tap AI Message and we'll draft a starting point based on what kind of year it was.
Can I mail it to a school or office address?: Yes. Teachers, doctors, nurses, coaches — they don't share home addresses. At checkout, enter the school, office, or facility address as the delivery address. The card arrives at their workplace mail.
How much does a card cost?: $19.99/year subscription, then $1.78 per card sent — everything included (custom art render, envelope, stamp, USPS mailing). A premium retail thank you card runs roughly $5–9 all-in (card $4–8 + stamp), so Pigeon Post is about 65–70% cheaper per card. Your first card is free.
How long does delivery take?: USPS first-class typically 3–5 business days in the US. For end-of-school-year teacher thank-yous, send the week before the last day so it lands while school's still in session.
What's the QR code on the card?: Optional — record a 15-second video and we print a QR code on the inside of the card. When the recipient scans it with their phone, your video plays. For a teacher card from a kid, or a nurse card from a patient who can't say it in person, this is the part that breaks people.
Can I send the card without subscribing?: Yes — your first card is free, no subscription required. After that, the $19.99/year membership unlocks unlimited sends at $1.78 each.
