Are you offended by electronic/email cards?

[Luckymommyx2]

I'm not saying I do ALL the time but most of the time for birthdays, holidays, but not Christmas. I think the price of a card is just outrageous anymore. (Am I being cheap?) If I receive one I always feel quilty about throwing it away. I would like to think I'm saving a few trees! I don't know what the proper etiquette is for this subject so I thought I would ask my fellow DISers.

Do you send any electronic/email cards?
and
Do you get offended if you receive an electronic/email card over a regular paper card?

Last time I checked, it was still the thought that counted!!!

 

[caitycaity]

I send a good number of e-cards, generally like an extension of an email or PM to me, a little bit more color, music and such. I like to sometimes send them off for just a 'hello' or pic-me-up. Also, with a community like here on the DIS, there are many people I would like to send a paper greeting to (I should have stock in Hallmark) but do not have their address. I do send a number of paper cards to a lot of people, and some here too.

Bottom line, I do like e-cards, but for a 'meaningful' event, of a 'close person', if I have an address, I often send a paper card, maybe an e-card in addition. I do enjoy getting them also, the person sending it thought enough to send it.

I'm not offended by electronic cards at all. It's always nice to be remembered whether electronically or through the snail mail. I send e-cards to DH a lot -- just a thinking of you kind of thing. For big deals (christmas, birthdays, thank you notes, etc.), I usually make my own cards to send out in the snail mail.

It is nice to be remembered, however, if it is from a close friend or family member and it is a special ocassion I think a standard card is more appropriate than an e-card.

I love to get them, I love to send them. And if you go to the Swan/Dolphin homepage, send a postcard, you can register to win a WDW trip.

 

[dianeschlicht]

Not offended at all. It is the thought that counts, not the cost!

 

[RitaZ.]

I love to send and get them. They always cheer me up!

 

[newmousecateer]

I love to get and receive e-mail cards. Especially when DH sends me one at work.

 

[Verandah Man]

I send them and receive them all the time, not offended at all.

 

[cinmell]

I'm not offended at all when I receive one. I like e-cards.

 

[olena]

I like e-cards. It's the forwards I hate and delete immediately.

 

[SuiteDisney]

I'd rather get an e-card than a paper card. It just doesn't make sense to spend that kind of money on something that's going to get thrown away.

 

[disykat]

I like e-cards too!

 

[Sheree Bobbins]

I love to give and to get e-cards. I go back and review my card after opening it.

They're such a personal way to stay in touch, I can't believe they're still free.

Would you pay to send an e-card???

 

[helenabear]

I do a mixture of both! While I love e-cards and love being able to send something like that on a moments notice, I also love going out and picking cards to send to people. For special occasions, I go out and buy a card and send it... I will also usually send an e-card as well. I think both are great and have their place. I love getting both

 

[Princess Michelle]

They don't offend me either! I love to send them and recieve them. Sometimes you can't go out and buy a card every time you want to and it makes it easy to send as many as you want.

 

[Krisu]

I use them a lot. Especially for my young niece and nephew who live 4 hrs away. I can let them know I am thinking of them. I don't think I would pay for a service though. What are everyone's favorite sites for them?

 

[Tulirose]

HA! I just got an ecard from my DH moments prior to reading this thread. I LOVED it and was not offended.
