Online greeting cards work well for birthdays, as they're guaranteed to reach the child on the correct date.

Mailing a Card to a Child

  Write out a message inside of the card, keeping it simple enough for the child to understand. This may be a birthday greeting, thank-you note or holiday message, depending on the occasion.

• 3

  Ask the parents of the child for the home mailing address. This can be done in a simple phone call, explaining the reason for needing the mailing address.

  Place the card into an envelope with the child's name and mailing address on it. Take the envelope to the post office and ask for them to send it out. This will involve purchasing a stamp for the envelope.
