Christmas cards

Avoid Jacqui Lawson if you're sending ecards overseas. Since the company was taken over earlier this year, you've been able to send greetings to many countries but the recipient can't open them - Australia, Cyprus, Canada and Sri Lanka are affected for sure and there are probably others. The new owners don't respond to queries so there's no way of getting this resolved.

I am with BlueBelle here. We have received two Jacqui Lawson cards and like kittylester find them a little twee.

I also subscribe to Jacqui Lawson but only for panic situations as I am finding them a bit twee.

Lots of charities do cards now so it is worth looking on the website of your favourite one.. I have sent Alzheimer's Society cards to family abroad via Whatsapp. You can send multiple cards for one donation.

Personal I know, but I hate to get e-cards, nothing of the person in them luckily no one on my list uses them and although the list has gone down and down through death and maybe postage I ve still got a small amount of cards on display about twentyish so far and a few more to come in but obviously nothing like the forty or fifty it used to be but nevertheless I still like looking at them

Yes Jacqui Lawson very good and not expensive when you think of cost of postage. It covers all occasions.

I subscribe to Jacquie Lawson e cards for sending Christmas Cards to groups that I belong to. It’s easy to send to a group WhatsApp or individual emails, the App takes you through the process. If you can use GN that you could find this app easy to use.
Very handy when you remember someone’s birthday, but it’s too late to send a card.

You could add a sentence on Facebook for your friends to pass to message on to 'non-facebook' user friends.
Although, I do agree that if you can set-up Whatapp- it is really good, and easy to use once you get started.

My OH takes a photo of a nice Christmas card and sends it to friends and relatives instead of posting a card. Maybe you could do this by Facebook - I don't use Facebook so can't help you with how you would do it!

If you don’t already have WhatsApp I’d recommend it. It’s a free and easy to install app . Once you’ve set it up it will show everyone on your contact list who is using WhatsApp. All of my friends and family use WhatsApp but not all have Facebook.

You can add messages, photos, video clips etc. You can also make free phone calls via the app to any of your WhatsApp contacts anywhere in the world. I receive regular video calls from my family via WhatsApp.
