Send a video card to greet your loved ones on their birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and other special occasions and milestones. 

Gifts alone are great, but adding a card can make even the simplest gifts special and unique. Adding a delightful twist—like videos and voice messages—to your greeting card shows sincere and genuine effort. 

The best way to greet someone is by sending them a gift with a personalized greeting card. And with GiftLips, making something personal and thoughtful doesn’t have to take much time.

You can make a greeting card with videos for your recipient and add value to your gifts in less than 5 minutes! Find out everything you need to know in this article.

Two ways to  send a video as a card

Sending your video messages as a  greeting card is as easy as making them. You can send your customized video greeting card in two ways: online as an e-card or offline as a cardstock greeting card.

1. Send your videos as a printed video greeting card

Remember the days when opening the mailbox to see a Valentine’s Day greeting card and gifts brought you an unexplainable rush of joy? How the words on the paper and the presents capture emotions and connect hearts from miles away was simply magical.

As technology evolved, card greetings were often reduced to a few lines of text or emojis, making them detached and insincere.  

But what if you could relive the magic of receiving an actual card and bring emotions to life through your greeting card in an even more beautiful way?

A video greeting card lets you do just that! It enables you to send a card via mail with heartfelt video messages on it.

2. Send a video card online

In a time when digital greetings have become the norm, pause and consider a more heartfelt way to connect—the kind that goes beyond mere words on a screen.

We all know and understand the feeling of sending and receiving the usual free e-card. It's a practical and convenient alternative to sending a greeting card because you can get and send a virtual card for free online. But it often lacks sincerity and a personal touch.

But sending a greeting card online with a QR code containing your voice or video messages makes your card more heartfelt—even when it’s only digital.
