Free ECards!

My birthday is rapidly approaching (July 4) and I'll soon be turning 28. It doesn't seem possible. Earlier in the week, I blogged about purging my card collection for our big move. Twenty-eight isn't a big birthday for me - so instead of more paper cards that will eventually end up in a landfill, I'd like to encourage my friends and family to send me a Free Ecard instead.

I love the option of the free photo cards. We sent Christmas cards every year with a photo of our family and they end up costing a fortune. Sending photo cards via email would not only save a lot of money by eliminating the cost of the cards and the stamp but it would also save a lot of time stuffing envelopes and writing out addresses. With twins on the way, I need to think of ways that I can still spread good tidings without spending hours on cards! It also eliminates the issue that occurs when the card arrives at it's destination. While the recipient surely loves to see your family picture, they probably don't have any idea what to do with it once they've looked at it! I always feel bad throwing away the family pictures that come with Christmas cards -- but I only have so much room in my house to store these cards and photos!

The free ecard site offers Free Printable Cards and Free Birthday ECards. Instead of using printable cards though - just send me an Ecard or photo card that I can archive in my hard drive instead of archiving it in a box for numerous years. Hard drives are much less bulky, easier to move, quick to search, and handy to organize!

This year, send me an e-card. Save the money from the paper card and the stamp and treat yourself to a latte. You deserve it. :)
