Which greeting card sites you use?

I need some good and safe greeting cards sites. I will be thankful if you can post link to some which you are using personally( not the google results please) and especially if they are not common as I want to send some unique greeting cards, not like the ones from Yahoo etc that every one is familiar with as they are so common.

Thanks.

 

All these type sites are garbage IMO --- they're more trouble than they're worth and generally people don't want such things - at least I know I don't. I get more than enough email already ... if the sender can't spend some time and effort on their email, I don't figure I should spend any of my valuable time reading it ... and treat it as spam - multiple infractions gets the sender a custom spam filter.

If you want to / need to send a greeting card and want it unique, create your own and send it as an attachment (jpg, gif), leaving out the middleman and any potential issues that can arise from them. Doing it this way shows effort and sincerity and is worthy of the recipent taking the time to view and appreciate it.

Oh really. I thought there must be some clean trouble free sites for this.

 

There more than likely is, I'm not saying they're all bad sites, it's just bad email etiquette IMO, far worst than sending non-plain-text emails. The rest of my comment above sheds light on my (and I'm sure others) distain for such emails.

 

I used to use BlueMountain years ago when they were free until they introduced a subscription model. After that, I found 123greetings.com, which is still free. However, I haven't used it in a very long time.

 

I used to use riversongs for ecards and stuff to send to friends overseas,

I never had any problems with it.

Thanks for replies. I will try these and see how it goes.

 

Right but do u expect every one to be able to create his own greeting card?

BTW, from where I can start if I sant to do so, some free software?

 

Any graphic program will do ... You could start with either of these two threads by Uguel -- https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=141853 or https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=74505

You can also get creative and send audio or video greetings (including personal photos) as another option.

People appreciate effort, and the greeting/wishes mean a lot more, rather than sending something impersonal.

I use 123greetings.com. Free and has a nice selection. I don't send them to my relatives though. Mostly online friends and acquaintances.

 

Ok, thanks.

 

Any specific reason BTW.

 

If these greeting card sites are free to use, I wouldn't trust it.
Free stuff on the internet has usually a purpose, like collecting email-addresses for spam-emails. I've already enough spam-emails.

 

U made a good point but I am not sure how valid is it.

 

Not really. Mostly because many of my relatives don't use a computer so they couldn't see the e-greeting card. Also, most of them would not react too kindly on receiving an electronic card. They would consider it "cheap".

Here are several other sites that I have come across.
www.hallmark.com
www.regards.com
www.americangreetings.com
www.e-cards.com
www.greeting-cards.com

 

Thanks.
