How to Create Your Own E Cards for Free

E-cards can put a smile on a face just as real cards do.

Online greeting cards allow you to send a personalized greeting card to a loved one, a colleague, an old friend or a family member. Conveniently, you can send an e-card at the last minute and still have it get there on time. E-cards come in multiple categories, genres and styles, and many are humorous. There's an e-card out there for everyone's individual style, personality and special day.

Instructions

1. Go to a free online greeting card website. 123greetings.com is a popular site that allows users to create free e-cards using a variety of different templates and themes.

2. Choose a holiday or event. Most free online e-card websites direct you to choose a category --- such as Anniversary, Graduation, New Year's or Birthday --- as the first step to creating a card.

3. Select a card. Once you've chosen a holiday or event category, you will see a selection of cards. Find a card that best suits your personality as well as the personality of the person for whom you are creating the e-card. If you like jokes and the recipient of the card likes dogs, choosing a humorous card with a dog on the cover is a way to incorporate a little bit of you and the recipient into the design of the card.

4. Personalize the greeting card. Every e-card gives the user the option to add a personalized message to the card. Sending an e-card in and of itself is a nice gesture, but it's important that you include some of your own sentiments in the card. The card is a way tell your loved one how much she means to you, and wish her well in your own words.

5. Enter the recipient's primary email address and click send.
