The price of a first-class stamp in the UK increased to £1.25 in October this year. With the average paper greeting card costing around £2 that means sending a single paper card now costs £3.25. Even if you only send ten cards this Christmas you are looking at an expensive endeavour! It is no wonder people are sending fewer paper cards these days.

Connecting with family and friends without spending a fortune

But for those who grew up sending and receiving paper cards, particularly at Christmas, this presents a challenge: How do you fulfil the need to send greetings to your friends and family at Christmas time without spending a fortune? How do you send an update to those you care about without forgoing all Christmassy charm and resorting to a text message or an email? Here’s how: you switch to digital greeting cards. Christmassy bundles of love and laughter for your friends and family at a fraction of the cost of paper cards.

A more modern approach to Christmas Cards

There is a range of ecard providers out there and we (albeit we’re biased) think that 2050cards offers the best Christmas ecards available. The extensive Christmas ecard range at 2050cards offers something for everyone. Perhaps it’s the ecard Santa in the Chimney created by Irish Artist Octavian Fitzherbert, depicting Father Christmas struggling to climb out of a chimney and disturbing a local dog. Or maybe Sloths Be Crackers which captures that fright as a Christmas cracker suddenly explodes. Or Drinks on Us celebrating that moment when a group of friends’ clink glasses. All you need to do is to select a digital card, customise it with a personal message and then send it on via WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger.

Beautiful eCards at affordable prices

For the price of a single paper card 2050cards offers our customers the ability to send as many Christmas ecards as they like via their messaging app of choice. Customers can choose between a monthly and annual subscription and once subscribed have full access to our range of Christmas and Birthday ecards. Our cards are all made by independent artists and animators such as Angelica Lena from Italy who created the Christmas ecard, Reindeer Cheer. And Jordan Patel who created the Christmas ecard, Jingle Bell Rock. The cards are so quick, cheap and easy to make you can stay in touch with more friends and family than you’d ever have managed sending paper cards.
