Greeting Cards Made Simple

Being a full-time working (out of the home) mom can be exhausting.  There is always something being left undone due to lack of time or energy.  After working all day, feeding, bathing, and chasing kids around all evening, all you want to do is sit and relax.  That’s why simple things like sending birthday wishes or a “just thinking of you” card to a friend often fall through the cracks.  Even if you remember to buy a card, you may forget to actually mail them (not that I would ever do anything like that).   Thankfully, I just discovered enGreet.com, an online greeting card store that sends out real cards through the mail.

Not only does enGreet send out the cards for you, but they print and mail them within one business day.  You can choose cards for all kinds of occasions – holidays, birthdays, sympathy, friendship, etc.  You can even find some fun non-traditional cards.  You can customize each and every card to suit your needs, upload your own photos, and there are even several handwriting style fonts you can use to write a personal message.

Want to send some special Valentine wishes out but haven’t had the time to shop for a card?  For only $2.99 plus postage, you can have it out in the mail tomorrow!  The even have St. Patrick’s Day cards!  You can also schedule your cards to be sent out on the date you specify if you like to think ahead.

EnGreet also had an e-mail reminder service so you never forget a birthday or special date.  Soon, they will be integrating with Facebook as well and will be able to import your Facebook contacts’ birthdays.  They will also have an option to sign up for text message reminders when it’s time to send a card or follow up with a phone call.

I have a feeling enGreet.com is going to change the way I send cards from now on!

Custom Greeting Cards Giveaway from DigitalRoom.com

One of the best ways to let someone know you’re thinking of them is to send them a greeting card. Maybe it’s their birthday, graduation, a special holiday, or just to let them know you miss them. No matter what the occasion, a greeting card from a friend with a special note inside is bound to cheer the recipient up.  Hey, everyone loves getting mail when there isn’t a bill inside, right?

But what do they do with that card after the 30 seconds or so that it took to read it? They might set it up on the table for a while where they’ll see it when they pass by. Eventually they’re going to tuck it away in a drawer, stick it in a pile of other papers where it will be lost for eternity (wait, is that only me?), or maybe even toss it in the trash. They may remember the sentiment, but let’s face it – that card will probably never be seen again.

So how do you make your cards stand out? How do you make your card the unforgettable one that doesn’t get pushed aside or tossed in the trash? Make your own custom greeting cards of course!  You can use your own design, logo, or photo to make your greeting card an original. And guess what? The ones with photos on the front are the ones I always keep!

Custom printed cards can be used for thank you notes, invitations, sending holiday greetings, or just to let loved ones know you care.  I personally love sending custom postcards for my kids’ birthday party invitations.  They are so much nicer than the generic ones you pick up at the store, and are also a wonderful keepsake for the baby books.
