I’m in a hurry and I need a happy birthday card right now!!!
Do you ever find yourself saying this when you are running behind and don’t have time to run into a store and go through the thousands of cards just to find the absolutely perfect one? Then you have to stand in line to pay upwards of $4.00 for a card that says American Greetings or Hallmark and has a barcode!
What you are about to read has the potential to save you some money and
bring you and your loved ones joy and happiness for years to come.
Make the PERFECT card yourself… It’s easy and inexpensive!
So, before you find yourself in a pinch, get your creative fanny to the
nearest variety stores, craft stores or Dollar Tree!
eCARDS- eCards are FREE and they go directly to the recipients
email box. One good thing about this type of card is the versatility of
it. It is far less work than the traditional greeting cards where you either
have to go to the store or make it yourself. You can create one or more
cards with eCards and send them to many different people at the same time.
You can also make invitations for a graduation party or a surprise 30th
birthday party. It is considered more environmentally friendly compared
to traditional paper cards. You can also choose a card that has still images
on it and print it out. Some of the eCard companies out there are: Jib Jab, Blue
Mountain, My Fun Cards, Holiday Classics, Smile Box, American Greetings, Hallmark…Just
to name a few!
Although this is a very convenient way to go, this kind of card can seem
a little less personal. Emails can have the sense of disconnect. Some people
don’t mind but if you think that the art of handcrafted goods are
more sentimental you may want to stick to the old fashioned snail mail route.
You may also consider printable birthday cards as another possible solution.
