This is a busy month. We’re not only preparing for the holidays, but several of our relatives also have birthdays this month. Busy, busy, busy! To make things a little easier I went looking for greeting cards online and I found American Greetings. They have a large selection of “happy birthday” cards in stock. Some are free, and some are available only to subscribers of their service. After looking at the quality and variety of cards they have I think it would be worthwhile becoming a member.
I was surprised to find that not only do they have a variety of different types of birthday greeting cards- from funny, or animated, Family, belated, Over the Hill, to serious and mushy, plus there’s even ones for specific Birthdays such as a 40th. They also have Birthday invitations, printable birthday cards, and even a desk top calender that you can use to list the birthdays, important dates and anniversaries of all of your friends and loved ones. There’s a reminder service that goes along with that too! It’s pretty much a one stop shop for birthdays.
It’s really easy to send an e-card. Simply pick out the ones that interest you. I’m not a member yet so I went with the free cards to begin with, click on the card of your choice, take a look at it when it comes up on your screen, and then click on the Personalize and send button. You’ll be taken to another page where you can create a personal greeting and list the email address of the person that you are sending the card too, your email address so they know who it’s from and your very own personal greeting. You can even change the font colors in your personal greeting if you’d like. Birthday invitations work in a similar manner as I’ve described for the cards.
If you want to print out your own cards you need to register on the site first. You’ll get a one month free trial when you become a member. Once you are signed up go ahead and select the card you want to print out and follow the easy to understand directions.
Give it a try if you are like me and have a lot of upcoming Birthdays!
