| The Convenience and Fun of Sending a Birthday e-Card |
|
|
In
the months running from April to June, my family is absolutely stacked
with birthdays. This can be kind of hectic trying to keep up with
remembering them all and sending out cards and gifts.
I
would usually just hold onto the gifts until the next time I saw that
person. sometimes it was weeks, sometimes it was months. Pretty
inefficient, I know. This meant that I would also call them on their
special day. I have found that a much simpler solution is to send a
birthday e-card and anniversary card.
When I first heard about e-cards I thought that the idea of free birthday email card sent over the Internet was an impersonal and cold concept and I did not want any part of it. I did not look at any of the sites that I had heard my co workers talk about.
I thought that computers were taking over all the niceties in our society and now they were going to create a create a birthday card. My mind was changed however, when I received my first e-card.
My husband and I had entertained friends over a holiday weekend. We had a great deal of fun, but the weather did not cooperate so it was also a great deal of extra work because we ended up cooking and eating in the house instead of grilling and eating outside. At the end of the weekend we finished doing the laundry and remaking the beds with clean sheets and cleaning the bathrooms and washing the towels. While my husband was taking a shower I decided to check our email. Among the emails was an e-card from our friends. It was a very funny singing card to thank us for the weekend. After viewing the card I started looking at the birthday e-card selection as well as the other cards that were available.
I was amazed at the wide variety of cards. There are cards available for every occasion and many cards to send in the just because category. You can go with birthday greeting ecard Rose flower, or a boyfriend birthday ecard.
The cards range from sentimental to funny. The best part is that the message inside the card is personalized by the sender. So often I find a great card, but the inside sentiment is not right.
I now send a birthday e-card to friends and family members on the day of the birthday. The easy part of this is that I can sit down and send several of the cards at one time and arrange to have them sent on a different day. You can also be contacted when the person reads the birthday e-card. I no longer feel that the e-card service takes away from good manners and a personal touch. |
