Shopper Testimonials
“Excellent card, fast delivery would recommend.”
Nicole - posted 3 days ago
“The card was awesome! It was even better than I thought it would be. I love the cover and being able to write my own message in my choice of letter sytle. It is great quality and much better than most cards at the store, especially for the price. Also, the card arrived very quickly and in perfect condition. I would definitely recommend this website for creating your own cards. It's great!”

The Benefits of Sending Paper Sympathy cards

There are two types of sympathy cards that you can choose to send; an electronic version or a real personalized card. Here's a quick tip - send the latter. Have you ever heard the saying "It's not the gift. It's the thought behind the gift that counts"? Well that is exactly why sending a real card is a better option.

Electronic greeting cards by definition are easy because sending them requires very little effort. Most e-cards site have setups that allow people to choose, sign and send a card within a minute. You can send an electronic greeting card while watching TV, holding a cup of wine in one hand and focusing on the night's game. Because of this sympathy ecards are perceived as cold, impersonal and sometimes downright cheap. All those are qualities that you don't want in a sympathy greeting.

Very few things say "I'm here for you" like a personalized message accompanied alongside a greeting card. People appreciate the gesture behind the act of sending a card. It shows that you had the grace of mind to stop what you were doing to buy and send a handwritten note conveying your love and affection. In today's digital world where emails are constantly sent, real sympathy notes are like a breath of fresh air. It's always uplifting, while rifling through your mail, to find a personalized card from a loved friend.

Sympathy cards are a good tonic. Reading the personalized message within a card might not completely lift the spirits of the reader, but they stand as ready reminders that people are not alone in their grief. A room filled with a dozen sympathy greeting cards from various loved ones is a lot warmer than having a 100 electronic cards lying in your laptop.

It's not that electronic cards are worthless. It's just that the impact generated by these cards pales vastly when compared to a real printed card. Human beings are connected to each other by their major senses. The message translated by electronic cards can only be perceived through sight. A paper sympathy greeting card can be seen, touched and even smelled. The emotional responses of a real card are undeniable. They create a far stronger bond of commiseration than any electronic card ever will. If you can't be there and you wish to send a message of love, why would you want to do it half-heartedly?

A sympathy card partners perfectly with a gift. You can include them with bouquets or gift baskets. This way, the recipients will be able to identify who the sender is and treasure the gesture more. People are also less likely to forget your warm message of thoughts if it is conveyed in a handwritten message.

No one prays for dark chapters in life but sadly they do happen. During such chapters, it is important that we support our loved ones the best way we can. Getting through a difficult period is never easy. It takes time, patience and a lot of love. The act of sending paper sympathy cards is a simple message that boldly conveys all three - timelessly wrapped in a virtual hug.
