You’re sending more than Art
Every postcard you send helps foster creativity, connection, and storytelling.
A note on paper lasts longer than a conversation. Many are kept, re-read, and treasured in ways digital messages can’t match.

You’re Supporting Young Voices
We believe a postcard isn’t complete until it’s received. That’s why our mission goes beyond design: every purchase supports 826CHI, a nonprofit that empowers young people to express themselves through writing and storytelling.
Inspired by the joy of receiving something personal in the mail, we created Forget Computers as a way to bring real art into the world — one postcard at a time. Whether you’re sending a quick hello or a heartfelt note, our postcards make it easy to share something real.

Our Story
Forget Computers is a love letter to slowing down, appreciating art, staying in touch, and sharing something real.
We’re Christine and Ben, partners in life, travel, and creativity. Our journey together has taken us across winding roads, coastal trails, and vibrant city streets, always with a camera (or two) in hand. Some of life’s best moments aren’t loud … they’re quiet, fleeting, and worth pausing for.
Our limited-edition postcards are made to capture those moments. Designed for mailing, gifting, or hand-delivery, they pair beautifully with optional stamps and can be shared however feels most meaningful to you.
This is more than a postcard project. It’s a return to something we believe in: meaningful, artful communication, one message at a time.

FAQs
What makes Forget Computers postcards special?
Each postcard features carefully selected, custom photography designed to inspire, spark curiosity, or evoke nostalgia. Printed on high-quality cardstock and ready to mail — with options for a stamp included — they’re a little piece of art, sent with a personal touch.
Are the postcards limited edition?
Yes! Although some designs will remain in circulation longer than others. If you love a particular postcard, grab it while you can!
What size are the postcards?
Our postcards measure 4” x 6” and are printed on 17pt cardstock with a matte-coated image side for a premium look and an uncoated writing side for easy messaging.
How do I order postcards?
Simply browse our collection, add your favorites to your cart, and check out! We’ll package them up Monday–Friday (excluding U.S. holidays) and ship them to you via U.S. Mail.
Where do you ship?
We currently ship within the U.S., but we’re exploring international shipping! If you’re outside the U.S. and interested, let us know — we’d love to hear from you.
How long does shipping take?
Orders typically ship within 1–2 business days and arrive within 1–2 weeks, depending on your location. We don’t offer rush orders — after all, we’re all about slowing down.
Do you offer bulk orders or wholesale pricing?
Yes! If you’re interested in ordering postcards in bulk for a shop, event, or special project, reach out to us.
Do the postcards come with stamps?
Every postcard has the option to include a matching U.S. Forever stamp. That means it’s truly ready to mail — today or anytime. We love selecting stamps with beautiful designs. They may not always be traditional postcard stamps, but we’re happy to pay a little extra for something special.
What should I write on a postcard?
Anything you’d like! A quick hello, a favorite quote, a shared memory, or even a doodle. If you need inspiration, check out our blog for ideas (coming soon). Don’t overthink it! People love receiving handwritten notes, and our postcards make even the simplest message feel special.
Can I submit my own artwork to be featured?
