Not sure if anyone knows about this site but it allows you to choose cards online and they send them out for you, so no more having to get people to post back to UK. I have used them lots of times, great choice and you can even add pictures to some of them if you want. moonpig.com

The site is called moonpig.com. You go onto their site and from there you can choose from 100's of cards, you can then have the card sent directly to the person, they have Birthday, Anniversary, funny cards etc. It's been brilliant as I have also been able to add photos to people back home on some of the cards. This is how I sent all my cards for Christmas back to the UK. They do next day delivery if you order early the preious day.

Parkview and Smithy - try also these sites:



http://www.egreetings.com/index.pd



http://www.care2.com/ecards/



http://www.jacquielawson.com/



Jackie Lawson isn't free, but you pay a fixed subscription then send as many cards as you like in the year.

Dear Parkview: this site (cyprus44 bulletin board) doesn't show moonpig.com (nor http://www.moonpig.com ) as a valid URL. When you type http://www.moonpig.com readers only have to click the URL to find the site in a new window and all its information. (Not trying to be pedantic, but I thought you possibly would not know this).

Can recommend the Jacquie Lawson cards. Costs about £6.00 per year and, as kaiserphil said, you can send as many as you like. The Christmas cards are lovely.



I use them all the time - a Godsend for people like me who have bad memories!!!

Moonpig only charge per card, works out at 3.49 including postage. So no fee upfront.

I have used 123 cards they were also great, but I was looking to actually send cards so I think it has to be moonpig

Jean I have never received so many cards in one someone out there likes me

Dee I will remember not to send you one as the music does go on for ever LOL
