E Cards.

CynthiaBelle:
Does anyone use E-Cards??

Is it rude to send out an E-Card rather than a birthday card?? (Although I don't, only when people are over seas that I know.)

But I do send out E-Cards and hand-written ones.


If anyone does use E-Cards, what's your favorite site??

Sorceress:
I don't mind e-cards.  Paper cards are getting pretty expensive these days; and I have several relatives and friends that simply can't afford to send gifts and cards out for every birthday or holiday that rolls around.  E-cards don't offend me at all.  Many of them are super cute.  Besides it's the thought that counts really.  Cards are used to express something; remembering a birthday, holiday, etc.

I think the only situations where e-cards would be lacking in class would be if someone just passed or if you need to send a traditional thank you for say, a wedding gift or something like that.

In terms of what site, I was using Blue Mountain for a bit.  It's been a while since I've been back there.  Some sites charge small yearly fees to use their site, others are free.  Just google e-cards and it should give you several options.

mrsbrandt:
I really like www.Hallmark.com for free ecards.  And for my online friends and really tech savvy friends/family I send out Ecards instead of regular cards.  I figure I'm still remembering their birthday and picking out an individual card with my own message, but then they don't have to figure out how long they need to keep it before it can be thrown out.  I'm all about it being the thought that really counts.

Rei-chan:
You could try this one:  http://www.123greetings.com/

It has a variety of free ecards for everything, including Winter Solstice (for those not into religious cards).  The cards are set to music and you can tweak them in all sorts of ways.  Some of the cards are kinda cheesy, but I sent my Dad a great one on his birthday last May.

Lisbeth:
I've used them sometimes when I didn't feel lilke sending paper cards.

The only thing to keep in mind is that you obviously can't send them to people who don't have computers/Internet access.  I have some relatives who are in this category.
