Free Labor Day Greeting Cards

Anyone can send Labor Day greeting ecards absolutely free; and the Internet and electronic mail make sending and receiving cards by any other method just plain obsolete. Before email, posting birthday, anniversary, or Labor Day cards to friends and family was a laborious process. After poring over hundreds of colorfully printed salutations, a card was selected, usually not quite what the sender had in mind, but close. The next step in the process involved planning and executing a trek to the local post office for the correct amount of postage. After standing in line behind the lady with the huge cardboard box and two screaming kids, one would finally reach the counter to buy a stamp. The precious card would then begin the first leg of a two- to three-day journey across town by mail carriers or out of town by truck or airplane. If the sender was fortunate enough to complete the first steps in the process, the recipient would receive the card by postal service, hopefully before the holiday, birthday, or special occasion ended.

And the old-fashioned way of mailing greeting cards was not infallible. Several events could occur which might prevent the sender's card from reaching a destination: (1) the sender could forget to mail the greeting, only to discover the card three weeks later tucked inside a note which read, "Don't forget to mail card;" (2) the Post Office could deliver the card on time, but to the wrong address; only to have the mail rerouted and stamped "Return to Sender;" or (3) the recipient could ultimately receive the card, but forget to open the envelope because it looked like junk mail. But thanks to the advent of email, individuals can almost guarantee with certainty the swift and accurate delivery of an electronic greeting, or ecard. Whether an ecard is for someone's birthday, anniversary, wedding, graduation, or Labor Day, the process is a breeze with the Internet.

Not the most common, Labor Day greeting ecards are, perhaps, the most versatile. Almost anyone is a great recipient for a card to commemorate this national holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September. On the job, coworkers are a natural choice to get a playful ecard. Send one to the boss, the plant manager, or anyone on the corporate email list. The card will add a little levity and make them forget all about the labor part of the holiday. Setting aside a day to take a break from working follows a Biblical principle. After creating the earth in six days, God rested from all of His labors and expects men to do the same, especially on the Sabbath. "And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made" (Genesis 2:2-3). Those who work 24/7 to help make life easier for others: hairstylists, babysitters, teachers, pastors, and janitors deserve time off and would love receiving free Labor day greeting cards.

The advantage of electronically mailing ecards versus using the postal service is obvious: email simply saves time and money; and ecards are appropriate for every occasion. Imagine the cost of mailing traditional printed cards to every coworker in a medium sized company of 50 to 100 people! Multiplying the cost of the cards plus postage amounts to a small fortune. Most printed cards cost an average of $2 each, and first class postage in the United States is currently 41 cents. One hundred printed cards, stamped and mailed, would cost a whopping $241! Compared to a zero expense for sending 100 free Labor Day greeting cards via email, the electronic solution is a no-brainer. Even recipients without home or office PCs can still get email. Search engines offer free addresses; and anyone who can spell their name, come up with an Internet address, and pick a password can get a free electronic mailbox. Most public libraries, schools, and colleges have computers available to the public. Ecard recipients can log onto a PC and access email and ecards from anywhere in the whole wide world on the worldwide web.

Electronic greeting card websites carry thousands of free Labor Day greeting cards from whimsical and funny, to sweet and sentimental. Some are animated with GIF or flash images that add movement to a message and make it more memorable. Ecards are not only perfect for coworkers and those in the job force, but they make great "thinking of you" greetings for sweethearts and significant others who toil to make relationships work. Sending free Labor Day greeting cards might be a cute way of thanking Moms and wives for the rigorous hours spent in childbearing so many years ago. Postal workers, librarians, school cafeteria cooks, hotel clerks, subway attendants, working Dads, working Moms, and working singles are all deserving recipients of Labor Day greetings.

To get an online account and start sending ecards, individuals can simply log onto ecard company websites and fill in the forms. Most offer registration free of charge or secured with a credit card. Ecard companies provide thousands of free online greeting cards ready for downloading, or allow senders to create or customize them online using free graphics and text templates. Senders can leisurely browse through card selections from the comfort of an easy chair or desk at home or at the office. Individuals can compile email listings of recipients and categorize them by groups: coworkers, family, friends, business associates, or church members. The next step is to copy the email list into the greeting card order from and click! Coworkers, friends, family and business associates can all receive Labor Day greeting ecards at the same time, in minutes and not days, and absolutely free of charge. Ecards not only save time and money, but they are the most environmentally-friendly way of letting family and friends know that someone cares. No postage, no paper, no glue, no fuel, no green gas emissions, and no cost. Since the advent of email, sending free Labor Day greeting ecards is simply the best way to communicate best wishes for a happy labor-free holiday.
