Greetings made easy

IT IS that time of the year again – the time when new clothes, shoes, accessories and jewellery take prime importance in our lives. It is the time to put mehendi on our hands, prepare sevyaan and other mouth-watering food. Above all, it is the time to rejoice, meet one’s friends and relatives, and of course to collect loads of Eidi. But the spirit of Eid remains if you have not wished your loved ones.

Among various ways of celebrating the Eid, one of the most obvious is the use of technology to send Eid wishes by e-cards or electronic cards that are definitely a major part in celebration. This is mainly because there are loads of family members and friends, who cannot be attained daily life, also there are others who happen to be settled abroad. And in this fast-paced life, e-cards are far more convenient than buying a whole lot of hard copy cards, personalising them, and then posting them to different destinations.

You can always send e-cards to people in the same city as well, instead of having to call them up. Besides, e-cards can be mailed to wider social circle – which include people who are mere acquaintances that you would only remember on occasions. This way, you not only save time, but money as well, and then you can also focus on writing a few paper cards for very close friends and family members.

So what’s the best place for e-cards? If you write, ‘Eid e-cards’ and Google it, you are sure to find a plethora of websites which offer free Eid-ul-Fitr e-cards. But there is one website which definitely stands out among the whole lot: Eid E-cards at http://www.eid-ecards.com

The best thing about the website is the neat division of categories so that no matter who you want to send an e-card to, be it family or friend, there is the precise category of e-cards. There is also a category of ‘thank you’ e-cards to reply to those who were considerate enough to send you one. There are invitation cards too, in case you are planning something special for your friends or family members this Eid and want to invite people over. There is also one entire section for ‘formal greetings’ in case you want to wish your colleagues or even your boss.

Of course, once you have chosen a category, all you need to do is to browse through the available cards in each category and click your selection to fill in the required details, preview your e-card and hit send on the required date.

But before you get excited about such a handy website, here is a word of caution. This website seems to be serving as a front page for the Eid greeting e-cards which are already available on another website. The only plus point of visiting this site, instead of the parent website, is that the former usually takes longer to load. Besides, parent websites mostly contains general e-cards websites, so it would take longer to navigate to the section on e-cards by going through different categories. This website offers more convenience. All you need to do is type a URL and you have the entire selection of e-cards at your disposal.

So basically, it is all about saving time while you are online. And even if you have a miserable connection, this website is sure to work.
