Giving a gift is a wonderful way to celebrate someone, whether itâs for a major occasion like their birthday, a gift-giving time like the holidays or just because you want to make their day a little brighter! eGift cards are a wonderful way to easily send someone a thoughtful gift in only a few steps, right from your phone or computer, especially when you send one via Evite!
Evite offers dozens of eGift cards to top retailers like Target, Sephora, Starbucks, GameStop and Amazon. And we make them more convenient and WAY more fun to send and receive. You can include an eGift card with our digital greeting cards (BTWâthe greeting card is free when you purchase it with an eGift card from us) and your recipient can redeem it easily through Evite. Hereâs everything you need to know about sending (and receiving) eGift cards!
Sending a digital greeting card with an attached eGift card is seamless with Evite. AND, when you purchase a greeting card with an eGift card, your greeting card is FREE! Thought youâd love that. Here's how to customize your greeting card by adding an eGift card to it:
â
1. Choose a greeting card.
2. Customize your greeting card with an envelope, liner, stamp, background and stickers.
3. Choose the eGift card you want to send.Â
4. Select an amount for your eGift card.
5. Add your recipient(s).*
6. Customize your card message(s).
7. Review your card and make changes (if needed).
8. Choose when you want your card to be delivered (you can send it instantly or schedule for a later delivery date).
9. Complete your purchase!
Thatâs it! Evite will deliver your eGift card and greeting card on the date you choose via the delivery method selected. Weâll also send you an email to let you know when itâs delivered, and you can check your âMy Eventsâ page on Evite to see when itâs been opened! Easy, right?
*Evite offers multiple features on this step to make gifting even simpler. You can send your eGift card via email or text, and add a new recipient, import recipients, or use a past guest list if youâre sending a gift to the people youâve partied with before. You can also send the same greeting card and eGift card to multiple people in one transaction! The greeting card and eGift card will be the same for everyone on your list, but you can personalize your message to each recipient. We highly recommend taking advantage of this feature if youâre sending eGift cards to your colleagues or as thank yous to your guests!

The first step is to find a greeting card that matches the occasion, like a birthday card, teacher appreciation card, Christmas card, holiday card or thank you card. Then, find a card design that suits your recipientâs personality and style, and customize it with an envelope, liner, stamp, stickers, background and a personal message.Â
Do they love fashion? Trying new restaurants? Decorating their home? There are eGift cards for every interest and person imaginable! All you need to do is think about your recipient and what theyâre into and gift them something that speaks to it. Some of our top picks:

Fun fact: You can send eGift cards from Evite via email or text! While sending eGift cards by email is still wildly popular, sending one via text is a great way to ensure it doesnât end up buried in your recipientâs inbox.
Of course, theyâll love your gift. But writing a thoughtful message to them adds the personal touch every gift needs. Consider mentioning why you chose the eGift card you chose, how much they mean to you, how you hope theyâll enjoy the gift and that youâll see them soon. If itâs a thank-you gift, include specifics around what youâre thanking them for.Â

eGift cards work just like physical gift cards, only theyâre digital so recipients donât have to worry about losing them or forgetting them when theyâre ready to shop. You can purchase eGift cards from Evite to use at dozens of retailers and restaurants. Once your recipient redeems their eGift card via Evite, they can use it online or in person at the retailer or restaurant the eGift card is for. All they need to access it is their phone or the internet, and theyâre ready to enjoy your gift to them. Pro tip: Screenshot your redemption page with your eGiftâs barcode and info if youâre planning to use it in person. That way, youâll have it handy when it comes to showing it to the cashier.
There are so many great reasons why eGift cards are excellent gifts, including:
Simply putâanyone! Theyâre especially popular for people celebrating birthdays, grads getting ready for the next step in their lives, teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week, employees during the holidays, and friends who deserve a little, âHey, youâre fabulous!â pick-me-up.Â
Evite will email or text recipients the exciting news that theyâve received an eGift card (along with the name of the person sending the gift) and provide detailed instructions on how to redeem their gift on Evite.com. A few important things to note:
If they need assistance with their eGift card, our Customer Service team will be happy to help!
Long story short, eGift cards are an awesome gifting option, and weâre so excited to make giving and receiving them even more exciting and fun! Want to take the celebrating beyond the gift (epic though it may be)? Plan a party to remember using one of Eviteâs birthday or holiday invitations!
