Do ecards still exist any more?

I used to send someecards for birthdays, but their website doesn't seem to do that any more...?

I was going to send an ecard for someone's birthday, but someecards (my gold standard of snark for years) doesn't actually seem to send cards any more, they just seem to have "post to Facebook"-type options. I avoid Facebook cooties so I don't want to do that. I tried wrongecards.com and that looked up my alley, but it doesn't seem to actually *send* said cards when I tested it. Does any website still actually send ecards and are actually snarky/funny rather than animated or Hallmark sappy in 2018?

AmericanGreetings.com sends ecards (my dad sends them ALL the time). They are very cute, but I kinda think he pays a subscription price for it. Maybe they have some less funny/cute ones for free, though.

My uncle sends me Jacquie Lawson cards. Their website lists a one year subscription for $14. The music and animations are pretty so maybe worth it if you plan to use them a lot.

My aunt also sends the Jacquie Lawson cards. They are really cute.

I would third that Jacquie Lawson cards are cute (and not sappy), but may not fit your needs because I haven't gotten one that is funny/snarky yet, and they are all animated. Or at least all the ones my aunt has sent. Apparently their target demographic is aunts and uncles...

Hallmark actually does have a number of funny ones. My BFF and I send each other the Hoops and Yoyo cards every year; they look cutesy but they are most definitely not. The Hallmark stuff isn't going to be snarky in the same way someecards is, but they have a fair amount of non-sappy stuff.

Also nthing the Jacquie Lawson ones, which are lovely but not really funny (at least not the ones I've received from my friend who sends them).

I love Paperless Post. I actually used them for my wedding invites. Their greeting cards are mostly trendy designs but there are some funny ones in the mix too.

OpenMe does this, and their cards are very cute.

As much as I love Jacquie Lawson, there is no snark there.

greeting card universe dot com has a great selection and they mail a real card. I use it all the time.
