eCards for Special Occasions


We’ve all been there: We’re going about our normal routine one day and the next thing we know, we remember it’s our sister’s birthday and we completely forgot to wish her a “Happy Birthday,” let alone send her a card. This scenario is all-too-common and one that can be avoided this day in age with new communications technology.

Instead of rushing to the post office and over-nighting sis a belated birthday card, why not turn on your computer and visit one of the many eCard sites on the Web? Some of the best online greeting cards can be sent for free as well if you happen to be on an extreme budget.

Some of the benefits of sending eCards include:
  • They can be sent instantaneously: Your sister will most likely check her email and see you didn’t forget her special day.
  • You can have copies of your cards sent to your email address: No need to worry if you already sent the same card one year later.
  • Constant updates on card choices: There are literally thousands of cards for all occasions
    No need to go to the Hallmark store: This means no fighting your way through the flock of stressed-out husbands and boyfriends on Valentine’s Day.
  • Save a stamp and an envelope

While eCards may throw off someone who isn’t used to using the Internet, if they are able to connect to an email-service-provider, eCard links are typically sent straight to their inbox. No confusions, just one click and they’re there.Whether you want to send your mom a card for Mother’s Day or your younger cousin a “congratulations” for her high-school graduation, it is best to compare online birthday cards from several different services. You may just receive a “Thank you” eCard in your inbox!
