Where Can I Make a Greeting Card on the Web?

Making a personalized greeting card online shows you care.

Making your own greeting card is an enjoyable and personal way to say "Thank You," "Happy Birthday," or even simply "Hello." It is easier than ever today thanks to the Internet, which offers many sites where you can make and personalize an electronic or printed greeting card.

Electronic Cards

Electronic greeting cards can be anything from a simple picture with text to a flash animation. Most sites offer a mix of free and purchasable cards. Sites to check out for electronic greeting cards include Egreetings, American Greetings, Greetingcards.com, Blue Mountain, 123 Greetings and Someecards.

Printable Cards

Instead of purchasing a greeting card at the store, you can design a card online using provided templates or your own photos and art. Then you print it right from your computer. This makes it possible to send a personalized card to a recipient who does not have email access. Sites with printable greeting cards include Blue Mountain, HP Creative Studio Greeting Cards, MyCardMaker, Greetingcards.com and DLTK's Crafts for Kids.

Membership Plans

Many of the sites that sell cards have membership plans, which are a good deal if you plan to create a lot of cards over time. For example, Blue Mountain's Create & Print Membership lets you print unlimited cards for a year, while MyCardMaker gives you the choice of of 1-day, 1-year or 2-year subscription.
