2. Sending postcards from emoticons.

This method differs significantly from the previous one, because Doesn't require you to sign in to any apps. You've probably already seen similar pictures in messages or on your friends' forums (see picture below).

Oddly enough, both pictures are a combination of emoticons and symbols.

To send pictures similar to the one shown on the left, You will need to purchase or receive paid emoticons for free. Then go to one of the groups dedicated to postcards from paid emoticons (or just surf your friends’ pages), copy the picture you like and send it as a postcard to the right person.

To create postcards, similar to the one drawn on the right, you can use special programs, for example ImgToTxt, as well as your own imagination.

Instructions

Sending a postcard via the Internet If your friend is registered on social networks, sending a postcard with congratulations is quite easy, and it will take very little time. Go to his personal page, select the most suitable postcard (it can be a homemade drawing, photograph or a regular image with a signature), insert it into the appropriate field and click “Send”. You can do this publicly by leaving your message on a forum or wall, or you can send a greeting anonymously, and then only your friend will see the card.

Knowing email address your friend, send a postcard to him Mailbox. This can be done through special sites with postcards or from your email box. Go to a special resource, select the postcard you like and fill out all the required fields. First enter your name and email address, then enter the recipient's name and email address. Be sure to mark your receipt date on your calendar and check the box to receive a delivery notification.

Sending a postcard via courier Arrange a small and pleasant prank for your friend. Buy a beautiful greeting card, sign it on behalf of a large company or a popular celebrity. Write your friend's address and name on the envelope and include your card there. To surprise your friend even more, include some money along with the card. Call the delivery service and arrange with the courier to deliver the envelope to your friend at the appointed time. To make the prank more interesting, ask the courier to play along with you and come up with a speech for him with which he will hand over the envelope.

Sending a card by mail Buy a nice envelope and greeting card. Compose an original greeting that your friend will like. Place the card in an envelope, carefully seal it, and mail it. Be careful when entering your friend's address, otherwise the postcard may get lost. Be sure to calculate the number of delivery days and send the postcard in advance. If a friend lives nearby, you can drop the envelope in their mailbox yourself.

It would seem that the time of postcards has somehow passed unnoticed. They are not sent by standard mail, as in Soviet times. They also give as an addition to gifts, rather in rare cases. But in the Internet community there is still no, no, and they will send some kind of cute postcard.

This phenomenon lasts the longest in Odnoklassniki. That’s why we will tell you, dear readers, how to send paid and free postcards on Odnoklassniki.

Options for greeting pictures in OK

Actually, all virtual congratulations within the OK.ru social network are divided into two large groups - paid and free. Paid ones are presented with official pictures. You can find the catalog in the “Gifts” section. And, of course, they are distributed on a paid basis - the cost of one sticker picture ranges from 1 to 50 OK. However, there are exceptions - among this entire set you can find “live” postcards distributed free of charge. But for this you will need to dig...

What are the advantages of paid postcards for friends:

• Users can attach sticker pictures to their profile;
• Friends of the person who received the virtual surprise will learn about it from the News Feed;
• You can send a musical postcard;
• You can send an animated picture.

The disadvantages are the following:

• You'll have to pay;
• The choice is large, but not huge - you may not find what you want.

Particularly acute, of course, is the issue of payment: being Internet users accustomed to freebies, we do not like to spend money once again on something that we can get for free. And because The management did not provide free postcards in Odnoklassniki, we go to third-party sites for them.

The essence of such pictures comes down to the fact that you simply find congratulatory images and send them in a personal message to the user. Or place them on his wall.

Pros:

• There is no need to pay any money;
• The choice is simply huge.

Minuses:

• Friends on Odnoklassniki will not be able to “stick” such gifts to their avatar on their page;
• You will not be able to send a musical message.

Which option to choose for congratulations is up to you. In the meantime, we’ll tell you how to send a postcard to a friend using both methods.

Standard congratulation pictures in OK.ru

We won’t describe anything and will go straight to the instructions:

1. Go to your OK page;

2.Go to the “Gifts” section;

3.Go to the “Postcards” tab;

4.Select the greeting card you like, click on it, watch the video (if it is an animated image) and click “Give”;

5.Select a friend, edit the gift settings (check the box next to private or secret if you do not want the sender’s name to be seen by friends or your friend), click “Send”;

6.We make the payment and send a gift!

All actions are as simple as possible, so giving a postcard to a friend on Odnoklassniki from the internal collection will not be difficult.

Congratulations-cards from third-party sites

Are you still not ready to send paid greeting pictures? Or the original playcasts in OK.ru didn’t impress you? Then we’ll tell you how to send a postcard on Odnoklassniki for free using third-party services.

Of course, you can simply congratulate the user with a regular picture through a regular message or post it on the wall. In this case, you need to attach it as a standard photo. All you need to do is find and then download or copy the photo you like. But such a congratulation looks flat and boring, so let’s look at more interesting possibilities.

Today on the Internet you can find many sites with animated postcards that you can send for free. We will take one site as an example – odnokartinka.ru. There is no need to become attached to it - look at what the search engines offer.
So, we went to the site. Next we do the following:

1. Select the picture you like and click on it;
2. In the page that opens, right-click on the image and click “Copy image URL...”;
3. Go to OK;
4. We enter into a dialogue with the person to whom we want to send congratulations;
5. In the field reserved for the message, right-click and select “Paste” (or use the standard CTRL + V combination).

That's it, the gif has been sent! If desired, add an accompanying message - “Congratulations, I wish you,” etc.

As you can see, exchanging greeting pictures with friends in OK is not that difficult. The only pity is that it’s unlikely that you can send musical postcards for free – you’ll either have to pay or limit yourself to animated options. Try it - after all, the holiday season will begin soon, which means that Happy New Year greetings and Merry Christmas cards will be very relevant. And a cute or funny picture is an excellent addition to sincere congratulations!

If you have already managed to get your own page on social network Classmates, you won't be bored anymore. After all, friends, colleagues, classmates and, of course, classmates are waiting for you here! In addition, the site’s creators are constantly working on its functionality and expanding opportunities for communication. But many of us are not even aware of some necessary functions ok.ru.
