Do you send online greeting cards or paper ones?

Ananda’s opinion

I don’t usually send greeting cards, but if I do, I like to send online ones.

You can customize the designs and make them quickly.

Paper greeting cards are nice and they can make people happy, but with online greeting cards, you don’t have to worry about paper and stamps.

Also, it’s easier for the person you send it to, since they don’t have to think about keeping it or throwing it away.

Vinay’s opinion

I think that paper greeting cards are definitely better.

When I mail someone a card, I can include not only a handwritten note or photographs, but sometimes even drawings.

And especially since we rarely send letters these days, getting a card in the mail is even more special.

Also, I prefer getting paper greeting cards because I like having something physical in my house.

I guess I’m very analog.
