It all depends on the size and colour of the envelope! € .70 or 1.30

I make my own cards and bought "blanks" in two sizes. The smaller 5" x 7" card costs €0.70 to send to the UK, the larger one (folded A4) costs €1.30.

Thank you, I have just measured my cards, 5x7, so 70€ is OK, making your own cards is a lovely idea, I might have a go at that, also Moonpig is another option I may in the future use, although I must admit that I do like to sign cards myself, and enclose a little note sometimes.

We always use Jacquie Lawson (£11 for a year) rather than post cards - also saves having to deal with the charmless nerk who runs the post office
