Would a greeting e card be a good option for Fluther?

Asked by Trillian (21153

Recently a really sweet jelly invited me to her birthday party, along with a lot of other Jellies, I’m sure. I can’t go, she lives across the pond. I’d like to wish her a happy birthday with an ecard. I have a Hallmark account, but of course I don’t know her email address. I can understand the need to preserve anonymity, but it is a bit limiting.
I got to thinking, would there be any way for Fluther to add an e-card greeting option? I could either send the ecard to Fluther and the people who do that sort of thing could then forward it to her email, or maybe Fluther could add a section where we could purchase an ecard and send it internally.
Would that work? Is it feasible? Would anyone else utilize this option if it were available?

I wouldn’t. Simple text is good enough for me.

You could ask the jelly in question for her email address.

@marinelife I had thought of that, but then I thought; “There are lots of Jellies I’d send cards to, and it doesn’t seem appropriate to ask people for something like that because the site is anonymous. I have some people here as Facebook friends, but they have all volunteered that information, I have never asked.

Not really, there are plenty of other venues for that.

Could you just send a PM with a link to the card? What would be really great for this specific person is if we could create one that would be accessible to all of us. We could all sign it, and send her the link to it. I would love to do that for her!

@augustlan If that would work, Yes I could absolutely do that.
