When you visit Chicago or its metropolitan area, send your friends and family an online postcard (e-card) You can also send one to yourself as a reminder of the good time you're here. If you are into things of the past, Chicago and its surroundings are rich in history, and you can find many vintage postcards that depict Chicago over the time.

In the age of smart phones and indugent selfies, surprise your social circle by sending an attractive picture with some warm notes and without you in it.
