How to Customize E-Cards
E-cards are a very popular, easy-to-use method of communicating through email with the personalization and feel of a store-bought card. The variety of e-cards available online is greater than the variety of cards available at a store and e-cards offer many more customization options. E-cards come in postcard options. There are versions that mimic a regular card, e-cards that play more like movies, and even cards in which you can include your picture or the recipient's picture. And e-cards don't require a stamp to send them.

Select the e-card you want to customize by searching through the options in the appropriate e-card category or gallery. You can search by special occasions like birthdays or holidays, by themes like humor or by characters like "Minnie Mouse."

Insert the email of the recipient or enter multiple email addresses to send the e-card to multiple recipients. Pay attention to the recommended method to separate the email addresses, usually a comma or a semi-colon, because what works for one e-card website does not always work for another e-card website.
