What Is an eCard?

An eCard—short for electronic card—is a digital greeting card sent by email, text, or social message. Just like a traditional card, it’s meant to uplift, celebrate, or comfort someone—but without needing a stamp or envelope.

At Dezire to Inspire, we offer beautifully designed digital cards that are quick to send, easy to share, and deeply meaningful. Whether you're reaching out to a loved one, a colleague, or someone who just needs a little light, an eCard is one of the most thoughtful ways to say, "I’m thinking of you."

Why eCards Still Matter in a Digital World

In moments where you can’t be there physically—or when words alone aren’t enough—an eCard fills the space with presence. It’s the modern way to show care, without waiting for the mail.

Instant delivery – Show support in real-time
Emotionally intentional – Every eCard we offer carries a message of purpose
Perfect for busy lives – A quick and powerful way to uplift someone’s day

Whether it’s a Monday morning encouragement, a grief-filled afternoon, or a celebration of growth, sending a Dezire to Inspire eCard creates connection with the heart.

I just received my sets, and they are spectacular. Can’t wait to see the reactions of my “selected” friends who will be the lucky recipients of a box. They make great gifts. They are very, very nice and I love them.

I am Cindy’s lifelong friend. I’m beyond proud of her for following a dream that brings so many others pure joy! Since receiving my gorgeous set of cards, I have been sending three to five a week to connect to team members, leaders on my team, as well as valued customers. Every single recipient has commented about these beautiful notecards and just how special the message was! I can’t wait to buy my next set!

I appreciate the recognition as being your very first repeat customer, however, you and your team are the ones who should be thanked. You guys created a way to help people through the best of days and the worst of days of life’s journey.  Your cards are so truly awesome. I gave my mom the "My Marvelous Mother" box for her 85th birthday. She feels so special being able to read a new inspirational card every day.

— Diana Doan
This card collection of wonderful, light-hearted, spiritual, and amusing quotes transported us to times of sweet togetherness with our beautiful, sweet fur baby, Rosie. Most of the cards reminded us of specific, special, and poignant moments over the years. We started writing these memories on the back of the very card that inspired each memory! Now, we have captured the most special moments of our time together, keeping Rosie even closer in our hearts as time goes by. Thank you, Dezire to Inspire, for making this possible for us. Rosie’s legacy lives on!!!!!!

— Bob and Marilyn Croach
Thank you for the beautiful D2I card set, Perseverance and Peace. It is so beautiful with such meaningful and gentle words of encouragement. Each card is either food for thought or a hug for the heart. I can see and hear you on each card. I am so proud of what you have created.

If you're looking for cards that truly speak from the heart, I have to recommend Dezire to Inspire. These aren't your typical greeting cards — they're meaningful, beautifully written pieces that help you connect with others in a deep and personal way. I've used these cards for so many different occasions: to support a friend through a tough time, offer daily inspiration, express sympathy for the loss of my sister's family pet or when my niece lost her husband. I also gave it to celebrate a bride for her bridal shower, and to simply remind my friend she's not alone. Every single time, the message inside was exactly what needed to be said. The quality is exceptional, and the thought behind each card is clear — they're designed to uplift, comfort, and inspire. If you're someone who values authentic connection and wants to send something that truly matters, Dezire to Inspire cards are perfect. You'll always have the right words for any moment.
