Electronic Greeting Cards or E-Cards recommendations

I send many greeting cards every year and because of Royal Mail unreliability and the cost of postage I am looking for an alternative electronic version. I wonder if anyone uses electronic cards and if you would mind sharing the details and the cost per card or for a subscription.

    There is a good website where you can order the card straight to the person you want to send it to. Similar to moonpig etc but this one has a better selection.

    Very funny cards but I'm trying to cut out the postman and send electronic cards. I will keep this site in mind for  occasions that deserve a very special card..

    I have used Jacquie Lawson cards for many years. They are (in the main) hand drawn. I think you either like electronic cards - or hate them! a bit like marmite.

    If I remember rightly you can have 500 folk in your address book and in theory you could send a card every day to everyone in your address book. Most of the people I send them too think they are delightful

    It used to be a tad cheaper (pro rata) to sign up for 2 years but I 'm not sure if that is the case any longer.

    Or if you want to send a free nostalgic 'postcard', look here- most parts of the country covered in old photos.

    The nostalgic postcards sound interesting.
