Free ecards are everywhere, but most come with a catch: adverts, a watermark or an account you did not want. This is an honest overview of what you can send for nothing, and how to send ecards to more than one person.
Can you really send ecards for free?
Yes, a simple ecard is free on many sites: you pick a picture, type a line and send it to one e-mail address. The limits are usually adverts, a small watermark or a choice of only a few designs. On Emailkaarten.nl you can send a group e-card for free to up to seven people, with one photo each, the free designs and a small watermark.
What is the catch with free ecards?
Four things come up again and again: adverts around the card, an account you must create, your e-mail address ending up on a mailing list, and cards that arrive in the spam folder. Read the small print before you type the address of the person you want to surprise. On Emailkaarten.nl nobody who writes needs an account, you pay only once per card if you want more, and invitations never go to people who opted out.
How do I send ecards to more than one person?
With a group e-card everybody gets their own space in one card. You share a link, every person types a message and adds a photo, and the finished card goes to the recipient on the day you choose. That is far nicer than twelve separate ecards, and the recipient opens it once. See how to make a digital card in five steps.
Which ecards are there for a birthday, a farewell or Christmas?
Every occasion has its own designs: birthday, farewell, retirement, new baby, get well, thank you, Christmas and many more. The first three designs of every occasion are free. Looking for a Christmas card from the whole team? Read the digital Christmas card for colleagues.
How do I stop an ecard from landing in the spam folder?
Send it from a service that sets up SPF and DKIM, use a clear subject and do not attach big files. Emailkaarten.nl sends every card from its own domain, and the card itself is a link to the page, not a heavy attachment. If you expect it to arrive at work, tell the recipient to look at the junk folder only if nothing shows up by midday.
