Question: What should be at the back of a Postcard!?
well, just making sure!.!.!.

the stamp at the upper right!.!.!.

1) do i need to put ONLY the address to whom i want to send it!? or including my own address, too!?
should it look like this!? :
TO: blah blah blah
FROM: blah blah blah
**************************************!.!.!.

2) why is there something stamped (ink stamp) at the top of the stamp that i'm supposed to put!?!?!?
that "ink" stamp shows something like "wavy lines"

The left half is your message or "letter" and the right half is your envelope!.
Put return address in upper left, stamp in upper right, and leave room in the lower middle for who it's addressed to!.
Sometimes they don't really leave room for the return address - then you could put it on the left and hope someone saw it!.
Wavy lines on the stamp mean it's already been used!. It's called "cancellation"-when any piece of snail mail gets to the post office, they stamp it so you can't use it all over again!. They used to have the date in that stamp, but now you have to ask for a date stamp if you want the letter dated!. (Or use a mailmeter to stamp postage on the envelope, but those are usually only property of businesses!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com
you might need to contact a commercial printing company that has mailing services for any types of guidelines if you are printing a lot!. I recommend calling ReducedPrinting (www!.reducedprinting!.com) at 718-47-PRINT!. They can usually just talk with you over the phone and give you a consultation and help you out!. But there are Postal Guidelines, so be careful!.
