Nowadays, only few people manage to send greeting cards to their friends and love ones coz there is an easier way to do that... Of course, we can do it through e-mail. right? Time saving and they can even read it just in time. Unlike mailing a greeting card sometimes there's a delay. What about you do you still send greeting cards?

Yes, that's true... when you receive a greeting card from someone you make him/her feel that she/he is an important person. Thanks...

Hi there amzthienne!
Most of the time, I send letters and greeting cards through email. However, I have some relatives who prefer receiving them through snail mail. So, while I send others letters and greeting cards through email, I also send others through snail mail.

I send them by email only...its easier way. Remaining, who don't have e-mail id etc...for them cell phone works...in tihs busy world no one has time to go shopping for cards and then write them , paste and then go to post...but technology has solved our difficulty.

I like cards. They are more personal than emails. I still send Christmas and Birthday cards to friends, family, and business partners. With emails you never know if the person just send out a mass email to everybody on their list and be done with it. And email greeting cards, well, there are to many viruses distributed with fake ones and even real ones that I don't open them on my computer.

I normally send electronic greeting cards. It is cheaper and faster. The last time that i sent out christmas cards in the mail was three years ago when my husband, son, and i all got our pictures made with Santa together and I sent out copies to family and friends in the Christmas cards.

I still send some cards even though I could do it free and send them one from www.riversongs.com which is my favorite site to send free cards from. I do however send free online cards as well. Twice as nice and merriment for all.

I do sent greeting cards. I know it is cheaper to just e-mail, but some occasions call for more personal things. Birthday cards, anniversary cards, sympathy cards, I always send those to friends and family. Stamps aren't cheap, but a person can save money by buying very affordable cards. Also, I always send Christmas cards. I buy Christmas cards after Christmas, because they are more than half off with their price. So I get really nice Christmas cards for a very cheap price. So when Christmas rolls around, I only have to worry about the stamps, not expensive greeting cards.

I usually go online and send greeting cards. But sometimes, I do my own lay-out and send them to friends.

I used to send greeting cards in a traditional way.But now i prefer sending it through email because it is faster and cheaper i think.Actually it doesn't cost anything.We can get it free from the internet.

Hi ya amzthienne
Sure I still send out Christmas cards. I love to sit down and write them all out in my best handwriting and it is all part of the build up to the festive season. I think that e-cards are a bit impersonal!

Believe it or not, I have a few friends and relatives who do not have access to a computer. But even for those who do, we send Christmas greetings by snail mail. The same would be true of birthday greetings for special people (I guess now some people now whether or not they are special...oops!) and of course, sympathy cards must always be hand-written and sent through the regular mail.
Pretty much everything else, I opt for IM's and e-mail.

Hi amzthienne! Well, I don't really send greeting cards
like I used to anymore. I only send a few now. I send
cards to my Mom because she doesn't have a computer. I
usually hand them to friends with gifts on the holidays
because it's easier to just give them their gift and card
at the same time. I don't buy to many friends gift either.
I only exchange gifts with about 3 or 4 friends if that
many and my boyfriend of course. As I've gotten old it
seems that the cards no longer come and I don't send them
anymore either. I don't even get them on the computer.
Maybe this year might be different. I need to learn how
to send some myself because there are alot of people here
that I want to send some to!
