Free Greeting Cards

From , former About.com Guide

When you finish here don't miss Free Greeting Cards Part 2 .

Free greeting cards have become popular and ubiquitous on the Net. There are hundreds of sites that offer free greeting cards of one sort or another. I tried out many of these and pared my list of favorite free greeting cards sites to six. Check these out for yourself and make your friends smile by sending them personalized free greeting cards of their own.

E-Cards offers a variety of cards, many of which feature global, environmental and educational themes. You can create a wide range of free greeting cards including holiday, birthday, sympathy, thank you, anniversary and many others.

123Greetings has a nicely designed site that loads quickly and is easy to use. If you have your own Web page they have an interesting free service. You can set up your own greeting card site using their program and server to process the free greeting cards. The only catch is that their advertising banners will be displayed, so your site host cannot be Geocities or others that do not allow outside advertising.

If you are a bird lover or just love beautiful pictures you don't want to miss Winging It Post Office which is offered by The About.com Birding site. You have a wide selection of magnificent photographs to choose from. This is a great way to send a special note to someone.

Regards.com is another nicely designed and easy to use free greeting card site. They offer a huge variety of music and quotations you can add to your card. They also allow you to have a card sent at a later time.

If you are a Garfield fan or know one you will want to send Garfield Greetings .

If your time is limited and you want to one of the fastest and simplest to use sites to send your free greeting card you will want to try Citicom's site. This is in stark contrast to some of the sites I tried. A few of the sites had so many long pages of instructions to send your free greeting cards, I would prefer to go the store and actually pay money for my cards.

Go ahead and try a few of these sites. You will have fun sending free greeting cards and your friends will enjoy viewing them. Who says you need to spend money to make people happy?
