Step 1

Create an e-card by visiting a greeting card website such as American Greetings, 123 Greetings, Blue Mountain or Hallmark. Electronic cards come in a variety of colors, styles and themes; and it only takes a few minutes to create and send an e-card online. You can even write your own personal message on the birthday card. In order to send an e-card, you will need a valid e-mail address and the recipient's name and e-mail address.
