How to Send an E-Card With Music

A card with a personal message can be just as special as the most expensive gift. E-cards provide a way to send your messages electronically, so you don't need to make a trip to the store. E-cards exist for almost every possible occasion. You can customize them to suit your preferences. Cards with animated characters and pictures are available as well. E-cards that play music in the background while the recipients read their greetings are common and easy to send.

  Turn up the volume on your computer, so you will be able to hear the music playing on the e-cards. Not all cards will have musical accompaniment, but those that do will often display a small icon in one corner, which, if clicked, will mute the music from the card without muting the volume on your computer.

  Browse e-card sites to find a design that your recipient will like. Sites like 123greetings.com, hallmark.com and bluemountain.com have large numbers of cards for any occasion. Some sites require that you sign up for a membership or pay a fee for access to their whole e-card selection. However, if you want to send an e-card with music for free and without signing up for anything, these sites still have something to offer.

  Type a personal message for your recipient and follow the instructions given by the site. Usually, you will simply enter your name and email address and the name and email of your recipient. You can have your e-card sent immediately or you can create the card and schedule it to be sent at a later date.
