Though I’m a fan of e-cards, and Facebook’s birthday list has saved my behind a few times, I do love an old fashioned hand-written card. They’re personal, special and you can’t delete them. If you love sending cards the old fashioned way, you’ll love JackCards.com.
THE FREEBIE:
Three lucky MommaSaid readers will win a $20 gift card to Jack Cards!
WHY THAT’S COOL
Founded by two friends—Katherine Santer and Kim Dowds- Jack Cards is designed for busy people who value sending a handwritten birthday, anniversary or ‘miss you’ card but find it hard to get to a card shop or post office on time. In just three simple steps, you can rest easy, knowing that you’ll never miss another holiday, anniversary, graduation or friend’s birthday again.
First you sign-up as a Jack Cards member (FREE!) and add important dates. Then, browse the online store and pick the perfect cards – everything from modern designs to hilarious observations, beautiful creations and kid-friendly styles. Finally, you select your address and stamp options. Jack Cards remembers important dates for you, addresses and stamps your envelopes and delivers each card to your home or office, just in time for you to personalize and send.
“A handwritten card can be the simplest yet most memorable way you can share a moment, a thought, a toast with a friend – a paper greeting card is a very personal gift that can be kept and cherished for years,” said Katherine Santer, Co-Founder of Jack Cards. “Jack Cards makes it easy for people to surprise and delight their friends with uniquely hip, witty and beautifully crafted cards they wouldn’t find in the local drugstore.”
Jack Cards makes it easy to keep our etiquette in check and stay thoughtful despite our busy days.

I just visited their website. This is a great idea! I would send some cards to my cousin. She always sends funny cards to me to make me smile so I would like to find some to make her smile too.
I have a VERY Dear Friend I would mail it to. Times have been really tough on her.
I would send it to my friends that I don’t see or talk to often.
I would send it to my friend who is going through alot right now (many family issues)
I would send it to all of my close girlfriends. Won’t they be impressed that a busy mom like me is able to send them a beautiful greeting card. I would love to be able to send one of these cards to them. It might even brighten their “stressed out” day too.
I would send a card to my husband’s Grandma! She thinks it is so much fun to get stuff from us, and it would make her day!!
Thanks for the chance!
What a great idea! I’d send cards to those organized and thoughtful friends who mail me birthday cards every year and whose birthdays I invariably remember too late! Maybe I’d send a HI card to my daughter, who check the mailbox every day and loves getting mail.
