Free Birthday E-Cards

Free and Easy Ways to Send Birthday Wishes

Everyone knows the horrible feeling of realizing that you forgot to send a birthday card to a friend or loved one. This feeling is made worse when you realize this on the day of their birthday, because you know that your card will be late. This leads us to the beauty of the e-card. You can send an e-card to someone on the same day as their birthday and they will never know that you forgot to mail a card early. The websites featured in this article offer free birthday e-cards for people of all ages.

I know everyone says you should save the best for last, but I love this free e-card website so much that I can't wait to share it with you. My favorite free birthday e-card website is (drum roll please) the Build-a-Bear website. Although these cards look childish, they will work for any age group. I like the "pick your age" card the best because when it tells the recipient to pick their age, it they pick the "older" choice it says "you're old" and fills the cake with candles. I sent this card to my mom and she laughed hysterically. It really made her day. Another pro for this website is the fact that it allows you to pick which day you wish to send your card. For example, if your best friend's birthday is on a Friday and on Monday you have some free time, you can pick out your e-card and tell it to send on Friday. This is an excellent option because if your friend's birthday slips your mind on Friday, they will still get the e-card you sent. This site also offers e-cards for other occasions.

The next website is 123Greetings, It has over 350 free birthday e-cards to choose from. This site offers card with and without animation. The e-cards are divided into categories titled Birthday Wishes, For Your Friends, Happy Birthday, Birthday Songs, Birthday Fun, Birthday Flowers, For Your Family, and Birthday Smiles. The main categories are divided into subcategories for further convenience. A major plus for this site is that it allows you to attach a GiveAnything gift card to your e-card. This gift card can be spent at over 300 online stores and is a nice, safe alternative to sending a traditional card and money through the postal service.
