What is NoPostie?

NoPostie is a new online service for sending unique animated messages to friends, family and loved ones.  There are 3 simple steps get started – choose a beautiful animation, add a personal message, then send to a person or group and invite others to contribute.  You can create a really special and unique experience for your friends and family and they can contribute too!

This isn’t just a great one off experience. All messages are saved forever, so your friends and family can enjoy the animation and conversation all over again, whenever they want.

Do I need anything special to use NoPostie? What are the system requirements?

You will need to have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player to view the NoPostie animations. To install it for free click here http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/.  You will also need to have javascript enabled on your browser – get help doing this from Google.

What are the rules for using NoPostie?

We want you to enjoy your experience with NoPostie and have produced some Community Guidelines to help you do just that.

How do I contact NoPostie?

You can either use our Contact Us form or send us an email to


Signing Up

There are lots of free eCard sites so why do you charge for yours?

NoPostie is special for lots of reasons – here are some of the main ones…

  1. Every stop-frame animation has been created with love and care by Carte Blanche Greetings. Nowhere else will you find Tatty Teddy making a cup of tea, or a collection of Peeping Toms, created with the same attention to detail you are used to seeing on real cards in the shops.  We’re sure you always wanted to see your favourite characters come alive and now you can!
  2. When you have animations as beautiful as these you want to share them.  NoPostie is the service created to do this, and because they are saved forever, your friends and family can enjoy the animation and conversation all over again, whenever they want.
  3. To continue to create animations that live up to the high standards of our fans (that’s you!) expect, we make a small charge.  At £9.99 you can send as many beautiful animations as you want for a full year – that’s a lot of sending for a very small price.  We hope you agree that you get great value for money, and we will continue to add great new content ongoing.

Sending a message

How can I send a message with NoPostie?

There are three simple steps to sending a personalised animated message with NoPostie. ‘Take a Tour’ to see how NoPostie makes it easy to make friends, family and loved ones feel special.  Or give it a go – its so easy, you will fly through it!

How do I share a message with a group?

You can send a message to an individual or group – simply use the ‘Add another person’ link when you are creating the message. 
Perhaps you want others to join in?  Use the ‘Invite somebody to add their own message’, and invite others to contribute to the message.

What’s the difference between sending to someone, and inviting someone?

Say it’s your sisters birthday - you want to send a beautiful animation to her and invite the rest of your family to join in.  Simply send the card to her, but invite everyone else.  Or say a colleague is getting married - you might send to the bride and groom and invite your team mates to contribute.  Easy!

These animations are exclusive to NoPostie and cannot be used anywhere else. Our terms and conditions provide more information.

With the task of managing the development of NoPostie Clare managed to keep all the balls in the air despite the ideas and demands of everyone on the team.

Clare says “I’ve really enjoyed working on NoPostie and the chance to work in a totally new area with a great team. At times it was daunting but now we’ve successfully launched the site I look forward to continuing to work on NoPostie but at a slightly less frantic pace!”
