EuroStar Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Is it the in-thing to send New Year's cartes de Voeux by e-mail? I have just received one from a friend and would like to know whether it is better to send them by post or e-mail or doesn't it matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suein56 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Yep - so it seems. I was astonished to have quite a selection to 'open' when we got back from the UK last week. A dignified French protest at the cost of cards and the increase in the postal charges perhaps or just something innovative to try!I think it is a super idea - some of the ones we have received have been extraordinary.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Maybe, but I like putting cards up round the house - it brightens the place up. The only snag with e-cards. I also have a sort of sneaky feeling they're a bit of a "lazy" option. But hey, that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-cat Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I agree, with you, Cooperlola!! I love cards around the house & think it takes a little more thought in buying, writing & posting a nice card. We were very surprized to see how few Christmas cards were available, when we went looking in December. Anyone know why the French don't seem to send Xmas cards but prefer New Year ones?

It buys them a little extra time[:)]That reminds me I still have to do my NY cards to send to France.[blink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[8-)][/quote]I think it's just because New Year is a more significant event here (rather like Scotland) and Christmas tends to be celebrated "en famille". I have had so much trouble getting nice cards here that I get them sent from the charities I support in the UK, or UNICEF who sell on line and deliver fairly cheaply here. A thought for you for later this year maybe... only 300-odd days to Christmas!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
