A free ecard is a great way to let someone know you're thinking about them without having to spend any money. Unfortunately, many of the popular free ecard websites are difficult to navigate, overrun with advertisements and have only poor quality ecards.
Here are 10 excellent sites, some of which you might not have heard of, that have a large selection of high quality, completely free ecards.
If you're looking for free birthday ecards in particular I have a list of the best ones out there.
1. eCardica.com

At eCardica.com, some of the cards are Flash-based while others are just photos with a message attached. eCardica.com is easy to use and advertisement free. The detailed holiday categories are the best part of the site.
2. Virtual Florist

While Hallmark has a lot of ecards you have to pay for, you can find plenty of cute ecards here that are free. To find the free ecards, just choose an occasion and look for the ones that say “FREE” underneath them.
