The 11 Best Sites for Free Ecards

Punchbowl is an awesome free ecard website with beautiful free ecards and an easy-to-navigate interface.

There are free ecards for birthdays and holidays, as well as cards that say thank you, good luck, I'm sorry, and just about any other reason you'd want to send a card.

Customize the inside text, envelope liner, postage stamp design, and rubber stamp greeting before sending off your free ecard at Punchbowl. Include a gift card along with your ecard, if you like.

When you're ready to send off the ecard, address it to just one person or include multiple recipients. Import your address book to make sending even easier.

Pingg uses professional designers, including Martha Stewart, to create lovely cards for just about any occasion, making this site a must-see free ecard destination.

Ojolie's free ecard offerings include video ecards you won't find anywhere else. However, while they are unique, there isn't a huge selection.

Send Ojolie's free animated ecards to one person or a group of people at once or schedule a future delivery date. Track the ecard to see when each recipient receives it.

Open Me also has free group ecards that allow you to pass around a card virtually with family, friends, or coworkers so everyone can add a message before it goes to the recipient.

You'll get an email when your ecard has been delivered and when the recipient opens it.

Unfortunately, you can't edit any of the ecards or make your own.

123 Greetings is a great site for free ecards if you're looking for a very specific card that a smaller website doesn't have. While there's a huge selection here, you'll have to sift through some poorly designed ecards to find the gems.

Among traditional categories such as Congrats, Family, Wedding, and Flowers, you'll find interesting ones such as At Work, Keep in Touch, and World Languages. If you're not sure where to start, check out the site's most popular ecards.

Each category has subcategories, allowing users to browse the most popular ecards in each section as well as new designs, animated ecards, video ecards, and postcards.

The only customization you can make to these free ecards is changing the music and adding additional text that will show up below the card when the recipient opens it.

Send these ecards right away or up to two months in advance; they can be delivered to multiple recipients at once. There's also an option to generate ecard PDFs.
