THIS SWAP IS LIMITED TO 10 PEOPLE INCLUDING MYSELF AS THE HOSTESS.

(If more want to join, let me know by messaging me and I will start an additional swap with the same criteria).

I will list 11 categories below and YOU MUST HAVE 1 NEW POSTCARD FROM EACH CATEGORY in order to participate because, for this swap, you will not know until partners are assigned what postcard category you will be sending.

✉️ POSTCARD SWAP INSTRUCTIONS: “MYSTERY CATEGORY” EDITION

Welcome to the Postcard Swap with a Twist! You’ll be swapping with one partner — but you won’t know your exact category until you’ve both been matched. Let’s get started!

🔢 Step 1: Sign Up by joining the swap.
THEN, In the discussion section, add what Category you want your partner to send to you. (The category you pick is not what you will be sending - only what you will be receiving).

🧩 Step 2: Mystery Categories There are 11 total categories, but only 10 people will swap per round — meaning one category gets left out! You won't know which category you're sending until partners are assigned and all final choices are locked in. You will receive a postcard from your assigned partner of the category you chose. THIS IS SENDER'S CHOICE AND SENDER'S INTERPRETATION.

👯 Step 3: Partner Match Once the sign-up deadline passes, you'll be matched with one partner.

🖊️ Step 4: Write & Send Once your partner is assigned - you will know your category by checking the category below which is assigned to your partner's username - you will be receiving from your partner what you have chosen as a category:

Choose a new postcard that fits your partner;s category. (this is why you need to have a postcard from each category to be able to participate in this swap - but you'll only be sending 1 postcard). Postcard must be sent naked and stamped - no envelope.

WRITE YOUR USERNAME AND THE NAME OF THE SWAP AND THE CATEGORY YOU ARE SENDING ON YOUR POSTCARD

Write something personal, fun, or thoughtful that relates to the theme.

Mail it to your partner by the swap deadline!

THE CATEGORIES:

(remember to only pick 1 that is remaining. You will have to check the discussion section to see what swappers have chosen before you.) Once a category has been chosen, I will put the swapper's username by the category - I have chosen a category and added my username next to it, so please choose from the remaining categories until 10 categories are signed up and there will be 1 category remaining that no one has signed up for)
