E-cards, are they good or cheap and nasty?
Posted: 10/25/2007 9:23:51 AM
Done a search thank you for asking Officer!

I received an e-card on my last birthday from someone who sends them all the time, christmas, birthdays, special occasions..........et al.

Is this the way we will soon be celebrating every occasion...... I for one love receiving cards, and feel that especially at christmas the house looks lovely with them hanging up. If I receive any this year, I will feel really sad as you can't hang them up. The house will look empty without the good old fashioned christmas cards in place.

Will you be sending them (e-cards) this year, instead of the traditional ones?
Do you think they can express the same feelings as a real one?
What do you think of people who send them, are they cheapskates, economists or realists (life will soon be like this everywhere)?
So what do you think of E-cards?

Discuss nicely please...............

I think Ecards can be fine if it's just a freindly gesture but they shouldn't be given out for special occasions like Bdays and xmas.. etc.
It is more meaningful to hand sombody a card letting that person know that you went out and purchased this card especially for them. That's sweet.

And there is something else available which is half and half.

Online card companies like: http://www.moonpig.com (to name just one) where you can create a real card online and it's printed and posted for you.

An e card, is just an extension of a picture text, and I would use them, not just for special occasions, but as a way to let someone know I was thinking of them, or wishing them a good day.

There mostly free with no postal charges, they also save on waste, no paper card or envelopes which usualy get chucked into the landfil rubbish anyway.

So yeah i think there a nice way to send a greeting to someone

i got an e card for my birthday from my sister yesterday made me laugh..she also bought me a "normal" birthday card too. E cards are something we send each other just to brighten the others day, just to let the other know we're thinking of them.

Are you kidding!? Someone will find something to argue about or slag someone off about no doubt?!

E - Cards are OK and nice to receive (not that I get any! ) but it is nice to receive an actual proper card because it shows someone as put it in the effort to actually write on it and send it! It makes it more of personal thing between you and the sender and shows the sender really does care about you! I am not saying they are right or wrong though, just my opinion!

Sometimes people have access to the internet but nowhere to send a traditional card to safely. In those circumstances e-cards they are excellent.

(2 examples - when my son was studying in Germany and had no fixed address at the time of his birthday, and I have a friend who works in Antartica who receives no post for the duration but they do have intermittent internet access)

No they won't. Only someone like you would say a thing like that. Stop trying to cause trouble. (1-0...1-0....1-0...1-0....)
