Can anyone recommend a website that offers the following service:

I upload a digital photo. I enter 50 or 60 addresses. They turn the photo into a postcard and send it to each of those 50 or 60 addresses, and charge me $1 or so per postcard?  
Thanks.

Check out the “[Photo Cards](http://www.hallmark.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/category2%7C10001%7C10051%7C149051%7C147551;149051%7Cecards%7CPhoto%20Cards)” service on [Hallmark.com](http://Hallmark.com). The site is kind of vague about how the service works (it’s not up front about whether or not it will send the cards for you), and you have to dig around the different occasions to find the ones that are under $1, but it might be what you’re looking for.

I’ve used [AmazingMail](http://www.amazingmail.com/default.aspx) in the past for this, though not in the last four or five years. I was impressed with the quality then. Can’t say whether that’s changed.

That looks like what I need. Thanks!

I’ve used [VistaPrint](http://www.vistaprint.com) for exactly that. My procedure has been to do the artwork for both sides of the postcard myself, then upload it along with an address list. They will do address correction on the list, allow you to fix anything that won’t get delivered first, then bill you for the whole thing at once. They always seem to beat their own deadlines, too.
