Post cards for contest

[Little Miss Liberty]

Does anyone know where to get the 3.5X5 post cards to enter the Disney contest. I went to the post office and they didn't have any and regular post cards are to big. If anyone can help that would be great.

Try the Dollars Stores. If not, make your own.

Get a sheet of Bristol Board and cut them up and send them out!

Use 3 x 5 index cards, available from Staples, Grand & Toy or any office supply store as well as many Dollar Stores.

3x5 Index cards like he said.
though, if you're worried about them not being thick enough to brave the mail, stick them together.

Thanks for the ideas. I new I could get answers on here.

Gosh -- I hope they're accepting regular, "legal" postcards -- that's what I've been sending in. Wonder if there's a way to verify what they're taking? Not that I ever have any luck with mail-in contests anyway.

If the rules say 3x5, you must cut the card to be 3x5. If the rules say postcard, you need to use a card that was specifically manufactured for use as a postcard. Otherwise the entry could be immediately culled and disqualified. I would hope that the contest or sweepstakes promoter makes an exception if the published card dimensions are not legal for mailing within the country of residence of the entrant.

The instructions say "3x5 postcard" -- confusing, eh?

Just checked the official rules again --now they say " 3.5"x5" postcard " -- still not USPS standard size. Weird.
