Support a Loved One in the Army with a Video Greeting Card

When a loved one is away for a special occasion — like their birthday, anniversary, or during the Christmas holidays — receiving a personalized video greeting card from friends and family back home is truly a meaningful gift and makes for a great surprise.

It’s like throwing a virtual surprise party!

Creating and sending a video greeting card is much more appreciated than an ordinary one because the words are your own. It becomes much more personal when your loved one can see their face and hear your voice. It's something so human that they will love and appreciate.

It's simple, record a video message that speaks directly to them from the heart. Tell the recipient that you care enough to send a video greeting card rather than a handwritten note. Plus, you can get all of their friends and the rest of their family together on a video greeting card.

7 Reasons to Make a Video Greeting Card

It's a good time to let the soldier in your life know that you appreciate their hard work and the sacrifice they are making for their country. Here are some great reasons why making a video greeting card is the perfect gift for your loved one in the army.

A personalized video greeting card allows you to be sincere, show emotions, and leave a long-lasting impression.
Adding photos to a video greeting card will create an unforgettable souvenir they can watch repeatedly.
A video greeting card can be replayed whenever the recipient desires and is never lost or thrown away as most paper greeting cards are.
A digital video greeting card does not take any space or add weight, especially when trainees or soldiers have little or no room for items other than the necessities. This is especially important in transition companies such as basic and advanced training.
Unlike care packages, a video greeting card file has no shipping fee and can't be lost en route when sent overseas to a deployed soldier.
A video greeting card is an affordable yet thoughtful gift.
A video greeting card has no waste and is an eco-friendly gifting solution.
