No, to make it super easy, we do it for you. We select an assortment of our most popular cards.
Although e-mail, text messaging and phone calls are valued by people for helping them communicate with family and friends, most people say they prefer the old-fashioned handwritten card or letter to make someone feel truly special. According to the USA Greeting Card Association, 90 percent of Americans say they look forward to receiving personal letters and greeting cards because cards allow them to keep in touch with friends and family and make them feel they are important to someone else.
First, right away we send out a special card telling them about your gift of MindSigns cards. The next day, the first card goes out in the mail. EVERY MindSigns card indicates it's a gift from you.

In today's busy world, MindSings make a wonderful gift for anyone you care about and want to encourage, keep their spirits up, and stay mentally and emotionally in the right direction. Got a student in college? MindSigns are great for them. A parent or grandparents living alone? Someone going through a life-changing experience?

We make it a simple way to stay in touch. You choose sending your MindSigns gift cards to a recipient for 6 weeks. (Ask us about our other programs for 12, 26 or 52 weeks.) We have pre-selected sets of cards, depending on the number of weeks. So, there are no cards for you to select. Our writers do the inside text so you don't have to write anything. The first card your recipient receives is an introductory card telling them about your gift. Then each week a new, full-color MindSigns card goes out. Each and every card indicates it’s a gift from you. As a bonus, you receive a weekly e-mail confirmation letting you know which card we sent and what it said, so you get an encouraging message each week too.
Finding the right greeting cards, thinking about what to say, writing a note, stuffing, stamping and mailing cards takes time. The average price of a greeting card is $3.50. Add postage and 10 to 15 minutes of your time to write your message, stuff, stamp and mail, the total cost is typically $5 to $7. If you're a busy professional, the costs for your time are much higher. Just order and we do everything else. There's nothing for you to remember to do. Each week a new card is mailed out by United States postal mail, indicating it's a gift from you.
Each card is printed in full color on recycled paper by a digital printing process. All of the graphics are created by our artists and designers.

Each envelope has a real stamp instead of an indicia.

Primarily because people do things on a weekly basis -- whether going to school or going to work. Monthly intervals are too long. Out of sight, out of mind.
