Why doesn't Hallmark team up with Mad Libs so we can write our own cards. I see the same things recycled every year and I think I could write better stuff if I just had a chance. Mad Libs was so fun to do when I was younger, Hallmark just keeps putting the same thing out year after year. No wonder I started writing my own stuff. Give me your best Hallmark/Mad Libs card.

Hi! I dont really know what Mad Libs is and Im guessing its something that gives you the option of putting personalized quotes, layouts, designs and greeting card poems into your very own card? I do know hallmark cards and they're fine with me. But I prefer those cards that have humor in it and not touchy feely. Im not sure if hallmark has their humor cards but I always get from a different brand. Anyways, why dont you pitch to those to entities that you've mentioned? Just drop them a line and tell them about your suggestions and just hope for the best. Or why not make your own software or application or whatever that combines the features of Hallmark and MAd Libs, give it your own unique twist and personality and then promote it online. Im sure there are lots of people who prefer to have their messages personalized. Goodluck in whatever you decide.^_^

Mad Libs is/was a fill in the blank game. It gave you a story and you would add an adjective or a noun or another requested word. Afterwards you would read the story and everybody, even a grumpy old man would be rolling. I may create a software program, but I don't know how to do that, I'll put together a plan and see if someone would help me.

I think this is a great idea! There are so many times I need to buy a greeting card and everything they have just seems to cheesy or cliched or nothing i would ever say to anyone. sometimes there will be funny ones, but nothing ever that really expresses the right sentiment as a greeting card should!

I'm not creative enough to do my own Hallmark/Mad Libs mash up. But the concept alone has me giggling. I remember the results from Mad Libs. Oh dear. If you do this, I hope your mother has a sense of humor.

Those were so fun when I was a kid, we used to giggle till we got spanked. Greeting cards are so dull now days, I need to spice them up!
