Electronic Greeting Card Day is celebrated on November 29 of every year. This day aims to encourage people to send e-cards. Not only these electronic greeting cards are easy and cheap to carry, but they are also environmentally friendly. When you choose Electronic greeting cards over paper greeting cards, you help the environment by reducing excess paper waste. The Internet has become an important part of our day-to-day lives over the last few decades and always sending a customized E-Card is fun and spreads cheer.

I don’t turn to greeting cards for wisdom and advice, but they are a fine reflection of the general drift of the culture.” – Susan Orlean.

History of Electronic Greeting Card Day

The origin and history of Electronic Greeting Card Day are not known. But we guess that this day was created by those websites that sell e-cards probably between the late 1990s and mid-2000s. Soon after the origin of electronic mail in 1993, e-cards and e-greetings came along. The 1st electronic greeting card site was created by Judith Donath at the MIT Media Lab in the year 1994, and the name of the site is The Electric Postcard. We still remember those e-cards with low-resolution graphics back in the late 1990s, and during that time it was an exciting thing to get an e-card in your email. Nowadays stuff like Facebook stickers and stickers that you can send in other instant messenger services like Telegram, hike, etc. dominate the field, but the concept is more or less the same.
