I have been in between homes in London and Barbados and with birthdays, anniversaries and more often coming up I am always looking for a way to remember to send that card for that special person, and stay in touch with friends and family. Often I have used social media to say Happy Birthday greetings, but receiving a card has always been my preference in this fast paced life.
Paperless post seems to cover two areas in one sweep with their online Invitations, Cards and Flyers. It is much more special receiving an electronic card rather than a one line message on social media and you can send greeting cards and more via their site.
They are also great for those planning an event and need to send out invitations locally and around the world, and you are able to track whether the card has been opened. So for those planning weddings and parties you can get a better idea of numbers and following up on your invited guests - all you need is their email address. You can receive cards as well, and send a reply from your account and keep track of who you have sent a card to.
Paperless Post partnered with designers and lifestyle brands, delivering millions of cards around the world and have an impressive range of designs that you can alter to your own specifications, whether it is the colour, text, backgrounds, and the inside of the envelope. You can also upload your own designs, and as an artist I love the idea of being able to upload my work and send as a greeting card.

You have to purchase coins to use to purchase the cards and you get around 100 coins for $20. You can create a standard card with text details and envelope for around 6 coins, which is about 1.2 cents per card!!. If you are sending out invitations and in volume then you will need additional coins which you can purchase to meet your needs.Flyers are another thing that I am always creating and you are also able to create online invitation fliers that you can post on social media, or send to your mailing list and receive a response to you invitations and keep track of the attendees.
For those of you who still want to send a printed card you can do so. Paperless Post have a print partner called Paper Source, they have a minimum order quantity of 20. But you are also able to print your own cards using a design and templates they provide you can do it yourself and add your own spice to the overall look, and is great if you are on a budget.
One of the things I like most about Paperless Post is that I can schedule cards to go out to loved ones. I can design all the cards for the birthdays coming up, or just send a 'just because' card and then schedule them to go out for specific dates, and they have access to the cards immediately. So what you waiting for, check it out and let me know how you get on.
Stay blessed and be a blessing.
