So life as we know it has drastically changed the past 2 months hasn't it?
Where we used to have huge gatherings, we are now having small immediate family celebrations and postponing major ones. And with businesses shut down right now, that means you may not be able to get those announcements of these special events, like you normally would. So what to do?
Smilebox is an online greeting and invitation company. Since 2005 they have enabled people to tell the stories of their lives—big and small—in fun, simple and creative ways with custom eCards, slideshows, invitations and more.

And of course, in this time, there are also cards for sharing our sympathy and loss, or just to let those affected, know that we are thinking of them! They even have cards JUST for the Coronavirus!
