We create moments of unexpected connection in the real world.
Our Story
What started as a personal family challenge became our mission to help families and friends everywhere stay connected.
Kelson has a large family scattered across the US. Like many families, they've grown isolated in their own immediate families, and over time their communication became sparse.
He wanted to send birthday cards to everyone, but juggling remembering to get cards and mailing them was just too much. And he didn't want fake handwriting services - his family knows his handwriting, and fake personal is worse than not personal at all.
So he brainstormed how to automate everything except the personal loving message. That's why he created Effortless Cards - to make staying connected effortless again.
We handle everything for you - from beautiful birthday card designs to timely delivery reminders. Your cards arrive pre-addressed and stamped, so you just need to write a heartfelt message and mail them.
