Do you want to make some sort of image in Word or Powerpoint or a graphics program and embed it into an email and mail it?
No.
I'd hate you forever if you did that,
Phew.
but I don't see you making an HTML email to send out, because that's more complicated. Even so, you have no guarantee that they'll see it as intended, because they might just get text emails.
Right, me neither, and that is also my fear. Which is why I put this out to the group -- is there any good solution for emailing something that looks pretty and doesn't require clicking through or signing up for anything?
If the answer is no, I may go back to hand-written note cards.

I don't see how there could be. I mean, either you do HTML in an email (depends on your client and theirs playing nice together), or you type a plain text email, or you send them a link.
Am I leaving out anything?
If the answer is no, I may go back to hand-written note cards.
Charming. I'd come to your party just because you did that.
I would be a total Luddite if I didn't love the Internet so
Jesse,
can you just design a pretty webpage and attach a google docs form link to it?
Well I haven't ordered it yet smonster, but I will let you know. My newest suit is about 2 years old, and my oldest suit is begging to be retired.
Coloring my hair and hoping I hit auburn.
If she has a pretty webpage, she can send it as an HTML e-mail with a little fiddling.
What about using Stationery in Outlook or finding an HTML e-mail template to adapt?
eta: What about using an e-card site?
If the answer is no, I may go back to hand-written note cards.
I like handwritten note cards. But we've had a few get lost on the recipients end this go round. ita, I was going to send an invite to you, but the thought of forcing preschoolers on you seemed cruel. Even if there were champagne.
We played adults versus kids kickball this afternoon. I think I pulled every muscle I had to pull, in my legs anyway.
Beer now?
Most of the time, I'm the anti-Luddite. Something handwritten by me may be more personal, but not very useful, since my handwriting is illegible. Also, my brain doesn't even think in handwriting. I've been writing directly on a keyboard for more than 30 years. If I was going to write a heartfelt and articulate note, I'd have to write it on computer and then copy it in handwriting.
As for things that come in the mail, either the psycho mailman loses them or I do. I want the information in an e-mail so I can copy it to the calendar. Also, I don't want to be tempted to add to the piles of paper.
