Though it is always my best intention to plan ahead for birthdays and the like, I find myself often scrambling at the last minute to fake the appearance of having planned ahead with success at remembering the date. The fast and convenient eCards have saved me on more than one occasion when I found myself needing to get a card sent fast.
A favoured trait of eCards is they are entertaining, fun and always make recipients smile. They are extremely easy for senders, yet they are thoughtful and special. Paper greeting cards are nice, but people toss them anyway. It is better to send and eCard, save time, money and be Earth friendly by not wasting the paper that will be discarded after the occasion anyway.
Now, even when the dates don’t sneak up on me, I use eCards exclusively for friends and family that I previously sent cards to in the mail. I enjoy that the recipient gets the card during the day instead of in the evening upon returning home. It affords recipients the opportunity to know during the day that I am thinking of them on the special day.
Beyond birthdays, I enjoy sending cards to friends struggling with job or family stresses, having recently celebrated great news or dealing with bad news or circumstances. One friend gets a card from me to say hello and to serve as a reminder I miss her and hope to meet out for a glass of wine or two in the near future. I find something humorous to send her to make her smile and remind her what her time means to me when life gets stressful.
I enjoy letting those I care about know what they mean to me. As it always turns out, sending the eCards means as much to me as I suspect they do to those receiving them. While the dates do sometimes sneak up on me and I am often feverishly sending a last-minute eCard, I always have the best of intentions and my friends and family know that. Sending eCards helps keep my secret when I am sending cards the day of a special event. For that, I am forever grateful.
