Back in the old days, we used to send Christmas greeting cards to snail mail.
The mail could take anywhere from a day to a week to reach its destination.
If it had to travel to another country, it would take even longer; probably a couple of weeks to a month in certain cases.
It is funny to think that we really did send greetings this way until not too long ago. And then the emergence of the Internet and email changed all that.
Once people started using email for corresponding, even greeting cards began to be sent online. The days of e-cards had arrived. Everyone started using e-cards as a wonderful replacement for traditional Christmas cards.
In fact an entire generation has grown up now that knows only about e-Cards as the traditional way of sending cards. They would wonder how we ever managed to send real Christmas greeting cards that took days and weeks to reach their destination. It is however a great facility to send e-Cards these days. They are free, convenient and instantaneous. There are also the most green way to send cards.
There are a number of websites online that have a wide variety of e-cards for Christmas and other occasions. These sites have readymade designs which we can use to send the e-cards. Some are designed in HTML and some are in Flash formats. But the universal feature in all these e-cards is that the wordings are most often preconfigured and you may not be able to change them. But for a new dimension in Email Christmas cards, you can visit www.4n-invite.com where you can write your own wordings for the Christmas greetings.
If you want to add Bible verses, you can do that too. You can write your own wording for the greeting card on the site.
You can then upload pictures to the site to add to your card.
So you can truly customize the card with your own wording and pictures, which makes it extremely versatile. You can then store the card online at the site and send the web address alone to people whom you want to see the card you have designed.
