For the price and frequency that I use this product I could just go get a card and mail it. If there was a way to create my own I would use this very very much more often. Seems like I could create most of these in power point... but I'm creative and smart that way. After a while all the greetings start looking a lot alike. One month, maybe. A year? No.
I've been struggling to create a DVD and found Smilebox online. Believe me it is amazing and I signed up for the monthly service (it's very inexpensive and well worth the price) and will never worry about how I'm going to share videos, photos, etc. Thanks for a great service.
This website is such a fun place to spend my morning creating cards and videos. Sharing options are awesome. I can post to Facebook, email a friend, or print cards on my own printer. I haven't ordered anything to be printed yet, but I'm sure the quality would be much better than my inkjet printer. Options to change the colors of cards, add photos, or add music is great. I highly recommend using this company.
At less than four bucks per month, this is a pretty good deal--you get lots of artistic options for sharing with family and friends, and the online sharing options allow comments underneath. I'll be able to update the family across the globe, and the kids enjoy the creative process, too. Good bye lame and cheesy e-cards! For older family members without consistent internet access, the printing/DVD burning options are fantastic. Cheaper per month than a couple of Hallmark cards.
This is a great tool to have on the computer, although I would say that with all of the free options available out there it would be nice to have a few new invitation designs coming through more often for the price that is paid. There needs to be more options in 'common' themes for kids parties such as mermaid, pirate, princess, disco, fairy etc.
Thanks!
I used smilebox for 1 day and then wanted to cancel my subscription. When I went to cancel it, it said that it would end after the subscription, which is one year! It seems no refunds are available though they talk about refund requests on their site! This is unacceptable behavior in today's online world where refunds are expected if one wishes to cancel their service
I particularly like the addition of more options that do not require photos. I don't always have new or good photos to add, but I like friends and family to get an email greeting. It still feels personal and special just for them.
Smilebox has been a great resource for creating quality newsletters for my Kindergarten classroom. I have gotten amazing feedback from both the parents and my administrators by using this site. The variety of layouts, flexibility in number of photo inserts, abundance of music, color and font choices makes this product truly personal and exciting for everyone who views it. I also love the fact that I can see who has viewed it, and receive comments and feedback directly. In addition, the fact that email addresses stay private is a plus for the school setting. Thanks for a great product, and I look forward to more designs and continued use in the future! (Spell check would be a nice addition, because I typically have to cut and paste into a word document to be certain everything is perfect.)
Hundreds of choices to make photos into awesome presentations! For those of us who would like to create beautiful memories of our photos, this is an awesome site. I've used Smile Box for years and never once had any problems. I love it!
Yes, I've been a member of Smilebox for a lot of years and still enjoy making them and sending to friends and family. Always get compliments. Really enjoy using my own music and almost always do. It's a fun site and a great way to stay in touch with those you care about who aren't close by anymore.
Answer: It sounds like the pixels don't support the size you are trying to view it in. Try shrinking the output and see if that helps. If all of your pictures are still blurry, make sure your software is up to date. Hope this helps and congrats on your wedding!
