If you're a card-sending procrastinator like me, make things a little easier on yourself by sending your holiday announcements or cards online! There are so many fun and festive ecards nowadays that your recipients will instantly forget that you sent it over the world wide web instead of through the mail. Here are eight of my favorites that make card sending simple and entertaining!

Nowadays, personalizing ecards is a must — the more flair you can add, the better! That's why sites like
Mushy Gushy are great because it allows you to upload photos and cut and place your heads onto awesome video animations! When I spotted this site on
Neatorama, I knew these cards would be a fun way to spread festive cheer for upcoming holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas!
Thank You Too is a thank you e-card service with an old fashioned twist.
You select from a variety of short, but sweet messages like "You are beautiful. Thank you."

Here's a marvelous download that will help you spice up your
ecards with personal photos.
Photo Card Maker is a easy to use free program that offers hundreds of professional templates where you can
add your own pictures and text for special occasions like Birthdays, Christmas, Thanksgiving, or Weddings. Just click
here to download (Windows OS only)!

I instantly became addicted to the website
Postcard FM because I could upload any one of my pictures, add a fun song to it (my mp3 choice, naturally), and then add a personalized message. Being able to custom design an e-card is magical I tell ya!
So when I discovered
Vox Cards, I knew it was another great site that would provide me with endless personalization options!

Standard e-cards are pretty generic, while
Someecards can be clever but too snarky — and neither of them is what you really want to send to people: personal.
Postcard FM is more than personal — it's crazy fun! You get to put together any picture and any song (just upload each file), slap in a message and an email address, and your recipients get a custom card!

I guess my geekiness is revealed when I say that I love sending
ecards to friends and family — especially ones that are
insanely funny or customizable.
HD Greetings is the latest and greatest ecard website, offering cards that have been created with 3D software tools (the same as Pixar movies) to produce 1080p HDTV resolution graphics. Choose from a variety of occasions and there are even some that allow you to import a photo — making it that much more personalized.

Today is national send an electronic greeting card day, so to celebrate this geeky fabulous day, I urge all of you to send a snazzy ecard to your friends, family members, lovers, or co-workers! For traditional, artsy cards that you can personalize with your own message,
iCards has a sweet selection. And for something a bit more edgier, there's
Wrong Cards and
someecards, which are too funny not to send!

Even though my mom isn't the most technologically hip mom on the block, I still like to toss a nice eCard into the mix every holiday. The more practice she can get "spinning up" her own email — the better! And even though I'll be far away from my mom this coming Sunday, I can make her feel like I'm right there beside her with a video eCard.
