World Postcard Day '25

An event by SwordOfJustice

It's World Postcard Day so let's go eat! Introduced in 1869 as a way of sending a simple message, postcards quickly evolved beyond their practical purpose to become a universal souvenir. Following the popularization of printing presses, visiting cards, bill heads, writing paper and other types of paper ephemera started to have illustrations on them, often with delicate engravings and tasteful designs. Already in 1777, French engraver Demaison published in Paris a sheet of cards with greetings on them, meant to be cut and sent through the local post, but people were wary of servants reading their messages... so the idea was not very well received.

Perhaps we can dine on their patio, perhaps they will be serving lasagna, perhaps the dessert section will give the CO a free cupcake because they were frozen (yes, it did happen). Perhaps we will enjoy ourselves.
