Occasion Ecards

The special occasions are those which mark our lives in a beautiful way, more than any other regular day when something nice happens by circumstance. We immortalize these moments by taking photos, dressing up with new clothes and sending occasion ecards, with music and animations. Usually the special moments don’t last more than a week, that’s why they are expected and regretted more than any other time of life. Special occasions are not necessary the celebrations of a year, but the days we celebrate a personal goal or in a way we love. It could be that unique Christmas when we met a friend after a long absence or the Halloween when we dressed up in an awesome costume and we scared others like never before. These occasions last forever in our memories and always try to step on the sad or ugly memories. And we’re glad to help by keeping them alive, reminding of them every time we have the opportunity, writing in our diaries and watching the old photos for hours.

The special occasions are those that give essence and color to our lives. May they live forever in our memories!

It’s hard to get enough celebrating at certain occasions. People who are in a relationship have plenty of reasons to enjoy any celebration. It’s not only about shopping or making presents, but the quality time to spend in the company of the one you love or the common friends you have. Men and women are both extremely enthusiastic of spending a Christmas happier than ever, a Halloween or Easter, in the company of their partner. Having the right person beside you, makes every activity way more funnier or enjoyable, from preparing the dinner, sending the occasion ecards  visiting the relatives or decorating the Christmas tree. Having a partner means that any holiday will be spent in the best company possible, without seeing people you don’t like. Love makes us see only the positive aspects of any celebration, forgetting about the gap from the budget, the overcrowded cities or the mess from the stores. But no matter we are or not in a relationship the optimism is a must every day, especially on holidays. Try it and you won’t regret!

Everybody has a favourite holiday in a year. Some of us love Christmas, because of magic that surround every house and town. Others love Easter, because they like the Easter Bunny with his goodies basket. Others like Thanksgiving Day, having a big family to celebrate with and others prefer Halloween because they are prepared to be scared. For everybody there are special occasion ecards, designed and animated in the specific way for every celebration. I think that the best occasion to celebrate is the simple day when there’s no particular celebration. Live everyday like a holiday, no matter how regular it is.

Mother’s Day arrives quickly than we expect and we should be entirely prepared to celebrate the woman who gave us the chance to live. The presents we can choose from are so many that we could hardly figure out in the last minute what is best to buy for our mothers. That’s why everybody should start at least a week before to search a nice and original present. Well, sometimes the everyday schedule and the bad memory leads us to the point we figured out that the next day or the day after, is Mother’s Day and we haven’t buy anything yet! What we should do in this situation?

Here is a last minute idea: prepare a special meal for your mom! If you have talent in cooking then you should try to prepare a special recipe for Mother’s Day. Whether you cook her favourite dish or come up with something new, which your family never tried before, the special meal should express your best feelings. Arrange the table in a unique style to create a familiar and warm ambiance. You could also invite some close friends and family members to join you in wishing your mom a happy Mother’s Day.

Another good idea is a funny card. What could be more surprising that receiving from your son or daughter an electronic animated card for Mother’s Day? The websites with funny Mother’s Day cards wait to be explored and I bet you will find some beautiful and funny creations there.

These ideas can be applied in “emergency” cases, when you forgot to stop by the store and pick a present, you are right before the payment day or you simply didn’t find a gift as nice and lovely as your mother.

Easter is the time we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, the third day after his Crucifixion. It’s a very happy day, especially for our children. But as an adult you can also enjoy some activities, like creating and sending funny Easter cards to every person you know.

For handmade Easter cards there are some traditional symbols you can use. Chicks and eggs are used on these type of cards, both drawing and photography. Choose for cards everything you know you can do, whether is a beautiful photo or a drawing. The Easter bunny, the main character of Easter it’s a symbol of abundant life, reminding of spring. The white lilies also are specific spring symbols for the purity of Jesus Christ. You can add on the list the lamb, a cross, palm branches, and many other things. Use textiles, paper and markers for every drawing, so the result will be inspiring.  Also, be careful to the quality of the paper you use for the handmade card. You can find in commerce some good quality paper but you can also opt for recycled paper. After all, its Easter and we should think about respecting the nature. Trees are more than parts of a beautiful spring picture.

If you have digital design skills, go ahead and use them. Artists of today are those who draw in Photoshop rather than painting on canvas. Create greeting card templates using your entire imagination. Don’t be afraid of music and animations, colours or interactive features. No matter which combinations you make, the result should be memorable for people who see it.

Don’t be only a card buyer when you can be a creator. Happy Easter from Easter bunny!

After more than one season without any special event, here comes the treasure of the year. The autumn arrives quickly and brings with her an entire variety of holidays: a scary Halloween, a nice and classic Thanksgiving, a fabulous Christmas and an explosive New Year party. What a colourful succession of holidays to enjoy! And what suits better these celebrations than some occasion ecards you can send to people you care about, right before each one of these days? Let’s prepare the party costumes, the location and of course, the friends we will have fun with on every holiday.

Fifty years ago, people used to wait for postman to bring letters and greeting cards. They wouldn’t know how it is to receive instantly a birthday card online. Only our grandmothers can tell how many hours they would spend checking the mailbox for a card or a love letter on Valentine’s Day. Old people will tell how many birthday letters and hand-written greetings they would receive and how simple they were conceived.

There was an entire expedition process, not entirely risk-free. Many letters were lost at the post office and they would never reach to their recipients. That would create tension between friends and relatives, as long as they didn’t have any clue if they were forgotten or if the letter was lost on its way.

Today, sending a birthday greeting is so easy that we can send them not only to very good friends, parents or lovers, but to any other person we knew for a while and we have a stand-by friendship, based on Facebook contact or other social network. We don’t even have to spend money. There are a lot of free birthday cards that would worth money but they don’t have a price.

Some people would say it’s not fair and we can’t even compare the times with a huge technological development between them. Others would say that was more romantic or touching back then receiving an occasion greeting card and today the gesture became valueless. I personally admit that today the postman doesn’t give us chills any more, but I also find desirable an animated, original e-card made and sent in online environment. After all, every century has its charm and advantages that need to be recognized and appreciated.

There are many occasions to prepare a party in a whole year, including birthdays, special anniversaries or weddings. A party theme for each occasion can make all of them truly remarkable and hard to forget. If you want to have a special birthday thematic party, use the advices on the internet or specialized magazines, for your own celebration or a friend of yours. The invitations have to suggest to all your guests that they have to make special preparations for this party. For instance, you can organize a retro party. Let the cell phones at home, as long as you enter in an old decade where it’s no such thing as mobile telephony.

The ’60s’ theme for a party is related to a charming and quite careless period of time, with cultural events and a living without major complications that people use to have. Send your free birthday cards and announce this party on the internet, in spite of the old look that will have.

Apply the ’60s party concept by taking care of all details. By using special decorations, fancy costumes, foods and games, your retro party will be a huge success and everyone will talk about it. Use as inspirations sources the old movies, the black and white photos of your grandparent’s drawers, even their old wardrobe. You should also use the specific symbols and objects like peace tokens, picture collages from this era, old gramophones or telephones and doilies. Include framed pictures of great personalities from that era, like Martin Luther, Beatles or Kennedy.

To plan a perfect ’60s’ look party, a close study of the past is quite important, in order to avoid the goofs, by including features from other decades. But in the end, is important to have fun in your own style!

Birthdays are nothing without a cheerful birthday wish that can be composed by those who send it or took it on the internet. Are you inspired and know how to write short original texts? Then you shouldn’t copy a birthday greeting and you may compose one who will be remembered by the recipient.

A personal touch and physical contact are desired when it comes to greetings. People want to see each other in order to feel important for others at their birthdays. Sometimes, online contact is not enough and best friends and partners should know that.  It is also true that some of us may be too shy to express all their best wishes in a personal, different style. Usually birthdays are celebrated in large groups with people you know very well. However, many of them can feel unable to express in public their affection, even if they feel that way.

Using birthday cards is a popular and efficient way of expressing something you otherwise find hard to express. There is an entire industry developed around the birthday greetings and there are many sites with free animated cards. Whether you prefer a funny or a romantic way to express your feelings, the websites with birthday e-cards have all you need to transmit to somebody you care about. There are cards for close relatives, co-workers, husbands or bosses. Impress them all, in the best way possible, by choosing one of these online cards, but also find a way to verbalize your appreciation. People are however extremely attached by the online technology and forget to exercise eye-contact. Let’s be braver than others!
