Greeting Cards vs. Folksee Reels: Which One Wins?

For years, greeting cards have been the go-to way to send birthday wishes, congratulations, or heartfelt messages. But let’s be honest—how many of us have a pile of old cards collecting dust in a drawer? While a well-written card is nice, a Folksee group reel takes celebrations to the next level. Let’s compare the two and see which one truly wins for making someone feel loved and appreciated!

The Sentiment Factor: Words vs. Faces

Greeting Cards

Greeting cards can be thoughtful, funny, or sentimental. They let you express your feelings in a few handwritten lines (or, let’s be real, just sign your name under a pre-written message). While meaningful, they don’t always capture the full emotion behind your words.

Folksee Group Reels

Now imagine your loved one receiving not just words, but faces, voices, and emotions from all their favorite people. Instead of a single card, they get a compilation of video messages, heartfelt stories, and inside jokes. Seeing a friend tear up while recalling a great memory? That’s priceless.

Winner: Folksee—because seeing and hearing the love makes all the difference.

Time & Effort: Writing vs. Speaking

Greeting Cards

Picking a card takes time. Do you go for funny? Sentimental? Quirky? Once you finally find the right one, you still have to write something meaningful inside. And then there’s postage and mailing time (or handing it off in person if you remember!).

Folksee Group Reels

With Folksee, you don’t have to search for the perfect card. Just send out an invite link, and friends & family can record short video messages right from their phones—no apps, no tech headaches. In just a few minutes, you’ve created a meaningful gift that feels like a ton of effort but actually takes very little.

Winner: Folksee—because no one has time to browse greeting card aisles anymore.

Cost: $$$ vs. Just a Buck (or Less!)

Greeting Cards

A quality greeting card costs anywhere from $4 to $8. Add in shipping, and suddenly you’ve spent almost $10 on a piece of folded paper. Multiply that for multiple occasions, and it adds up fast.

Folksee Group Reels

A Folksee reel? Just a dollar or less per person. That’s it! You get a lasting, heartfelt video that can be watched over and over—without breaking the bank.

Winner: Folksee—because why spend $8 on a card when you can create something truly memorable for less?

Longevity: Drawer vs. Digital Keepsake

Greeting Cards

Let’s be real—most greeting cards end up in a pile, a drawer, or (gasp) the trash. A few might get saved, but they rarely get revisited.

Folksee Group Reels

A Folksee reel is a keepsake. Your friend can rewatch their reel whenever they need a little boost, reliving all the love and laughter. It’s not just a message—it’s a memory.

Winner: Folksee—because moments matter more than paper.

Final Verdict: Folksee Wins! 🎉

We’re not saying greeting cards are bad—they have their place. But if you want to truly celebrate someone, a Folksee group reel is personal, heartfelt, and way more fun. It takes less time, costs less, and delivers way more impact.

So next time you’re thinking about grabbing a card, consider creating a Folksee reel instead. It’s the easiest way to make someone feel special—without the hassle, high cost, or forgotten paper clutter.

Try Folksee today and give a gift that actually gets remembered!
