Do you still send greeting cards OR you prefer other media like sms. e-card, email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. Iriene88 (1179)   ranked 113 out of 35,394 in people5 months ago

When I passed by those shops like Memory Lane,
Living Cabin, Hallmarks Cards...I was just wondering..
how they managed to survive with the electronic cards
waves that hits every shore..people tends to send mms,
sms, e-cards etc...faster and cheaper.

What's your opinion? Which one do you prefer, when and why?
I believe 'who' you are sending the greetings play a part in
your decision making, is it true?

i wonder that too, not because of the internet cards but because paper cards are just so darn expensive! i do send regular cards at christmas and other occassions because i have some people that dont have the internet, plus, its nice to get a greeting card in your mailbox! i generally make mine though.
however, i use ecards too. hubby and i send each other one every week day to tell each other we are thinking of em!


myLot reputation of 99/100. Iriene88 (1179)   ranked 113 out of 35,394 in people  5 months ago

Dear cher913,

Nice to hear from you again, it really put a smilehappy
on my face!

You and hubby are so sweet, that's truly thoughtful, sending
ecards weekly to express your thoughts for each other! I wish
my husband can be that thoughtful...hahaha

Oh yes, receiving a beautiful paper Birthday Card on my birthday
is a 'wonderful feeling', I appreciate it very much...it gives
a sense of 'personal touch' with the handwritten message~

Glad to hear that you can make your own cards, that's very creative
of you..good! Have 'personal touch' & the valuable time spend doing
the card...your sincerity can be felt by the recipient!

Thanks for sharing, do keep in touch & Have a Nice Weekend!

Personally i dont like to send ecards and text messages for birthdays, i just dont feel like its making as much effort and it doesnt have the same amount of thought behind it. I do send people a text message on their birthdays or at christmas etc but i will also get them a card. Perhaps i am just old fashioned but i would much prefer to send or recieve a proper card as opposed to something in electronic form.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Iriene88 (1179)   ranked 113 out of 35,394 in people  5 months ago

Dear polo_princess,

Totally agree with you...ecards & sms lost the special
'personal touch' & 'thoughtful' elements in it! I would
prefer to receive the proper cards too. Banks and Corporate
Companies still send proper greeting cards to their clients!

I sometimes like to make my own 'Birthday', 'Anniversary',
'Thank You' cards to my friends...the special touch is there!blush

Sms, mms & ecards is good when we have 'very short notice',
not enough time to send the proper cards, but I foloow up with
proper card with the words ' It is Better Late than Never' .. lol

Thanks for sharing and hope to hear your views on my previous topic

All the best and do keep in touch!wink

Greeting cards are all outdated ones. This is the age of sending flying kiss through internet.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Iriene88 (1179)   ranked 113 out of 35,394 in people  5 months ago

Dear meapas,

You have a good point here. 'Flying Kiss' through
internet is faster and 'free of charge' with the
same impact too! It definitely fun and appropirate
with those IT/ Internet savour friends....

But how you deal with those friends who are not online?
Perhaps you send them via sms, mms...? w00t
Or you have other alternative ways? Do share ...

Thank you for sharing and happy myLotting:)

You are absolutely right. It depends on who you are sending the greetings to. I send e-cards to business associates in my own country and overseas. But, when I wish to send greetings to people I have much respect, for instance my teachers back from school, I would send Cards, very special designs and artistic. And, for some friends, I would send emails.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Iriene88 (1179)   ranked 113 out of 35,394 in people  5 months ago

Dear greenline,

You are very practical at handling greeting cards.
You know which media to use for who....appropriately!
Good job!thumbup

It is like:-

'Right Media to Right People= Right Impact' wink

Dear guardno,

Great, you preferred e-cards..the fastest with technology!

Will it be mms, sms, or a phone call? rolleyes

what i usually send is greeting cards like hallmark cards. plus every time i go in they have cheap candy can't find that candy any where else but there. and not only that i find that hallmarrk cards mean more to someone then some free card you got from the internet. i know i would be a little upset if someone gave me a birthday card like that. i would only be a little because you know at least they sent something and remembered. but besides that it doesn't mean as much as a real card. a really card you can keep forever.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Iriene88 (1179)   ranked 113 out of 35,394 in people  5 months ago

Dear justbeingtiffany,

Yes, me too .. w00t

Hallmark cards are premier cards, well known for its special
designs, quality papers and its creative messages! I used to
collect all the Christmas Cards (Hallmarks cards) and others
too when I am younger. It has sentimental value to me and I
like their beautiful and creative designs, fantastic cards!

I do appreciate greeting messages via e-cards, mms etc, because
it is the 'thoughts' that counts..especially people are so
busy nowadays, so electronic messages & greetings are the most
convenient!

Thanks for sharing, I truly hope to hear some views from you on
my other previous topics. Thanks and do keep in touch:)

I personally like to send and receive paper greeting cards. During the holidays I enjoy displaying all my cards, especially the photo ones. I normally also send out a photo card of my daughter. I also encourage my daughter to make her own greeting cards, since she loves crafts. But an e-card is ok. Better someone remembering than nothing at all.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Iriene88 (1179)   ranked 113 out of 35,394 in people  5 months ago

Dear realan,

I love to receive proper greeting cards too! They are so special,
and have personal touch. I like to display Christmas cards around
the Christmas tree during Christmas time! If gives the right ambience...
just love it! Hmmm...5 more months to Christmas.. rolleyes

Wow, you have personalised photo greetings cards? That's cool...
It is good for you to encouraged your daughter to make her own
greeting cards - I love to make personalised 'Thank You' Card,
'Birthday Card' and 'Congratulations' cards using my favourite
art & crafts tools!

Thanks for sharing, hope to hear more views from you on my other
topics! Happy myLotting!

We still all send the old fashioned greeting cards in this family...but sometimes I'll send an e-card along with it. Like for my uncle's b-day, I'll give him a regular card but the night before I'll send him an e-card too, so he can open it as soon as he wakes up .. saying something like, Hey Birthday Boy! Casino tonight? Let's strike it rich on your birthday!! (We love going to the casino together).

myLot reputation of 99/100. Iriene88 (1179)   ranked 113 out of 35,394 in people  5 months ago

Dear Druscilla34,

I am glad to know you and your family still practice
the tradition of sending greetings cards..Cool..keep it up!
It is definitely a good practice to follow-up with an e-card,
this will surely cheer up the recipient... I can imagined the
smile on your uncle's face already:)

Wow, you & your uncle are so 'buddies', that's the way, ahah ahah!

I love the greeting cards. I can spend hours just to pick one. I know this electronic era, but stand there and stare on those beautiful greeting cards is really fun. And I don't think the electronic cards give you the same satisfaction than the old fashion greeting cards


myLot reputation of 99/100. Iriene88 (1179)   ranked 113 out of 35,394 in people  5 months ago

Dear ibuemma,

You explained the 'feelings of satisfaction' in this context very well!
The joy, the fun and the excitement to choose the right card for the
right person is just like choosing the right gift for the right person!
We want them to feel our thoughts, sincerity with a dash of personal
touch!

Thanks for sharing & I hope to hear more views from you on my

During the Christmas Holiday, I still love to send out Christmas cards and the occasional birthday card. But when it comes to stuff like the American 4th of July or Father's Day, I send out e-cards. I prefer mailing out cards because I get to add my own littler personal thing.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Iriene88 (1179)   ranked 113 out of 35,394 in people  5 months ago

Dear texasheartland,

You really know the best methods for the right occasions!
Keep it up:) I like to send the proper greetings cards
to my closed friends with additional personal touch! That
is really sweet and I believe my friends will appreciate
it more!

Thanks for sharing and hope to hear from you on my other
