When you are choosing greetings cards, it can be hard to find something that really says exactly what you want it to say. In turn, the majority of cards sent are ones that have been seen time and time again and, in turn, sending cards often ends up merely becoming a formality.
Ultimately, sending cards should be a personal thing or there is very little point in sending them at all. Whilst the phrase ‘it is the thought that counts’ may be applicable in some instances, in the majority of cases, very little thought will have been put into a card either in terms of what is on the outside or what is written on the inside. In fairness, the uninspiring nature of the cards themselves is usually to blame.
There are alternatives though. Firstly, you can send cards online, creating a very bespoke virtual card from the many templates available, offering you more choice to get the look of the card exactly as you want it whilst simultaneously having a far easier way to send the cards too. However, these are harder to keep and will often only be viewed once, removing the great feeling that can be inspired by seeing a bunch of cards in your own house all of which are from people dear to you.
Therefore, the second option may be preferable for many. For very little extra cost, you can always create your own physical card on online photo printing sites. Whilst some sites will let you print a message in a specific card, others will let you use photo printing to actually design the card itself. This way, with photo printing, it is easy to create a card that has a picture on it that truly means something to both of you or even simply just a funny picture of the recipient should you wish.
So if you don’t wish a greeting card to be just a formality, why not see how special online photo printing could make them?
