Champagne and Cake: The Joys of Summertime Weddings

Ahhh the joys of summer weddings. Wedding Cake, champagne, and dancing. I love diving into a chocolate groom’s cake with a glass of bubbly! At New England weddings I wear a hat and enjoy the boats in the marina. In the South, I fan myself and drink a mint julep.

There are, of course, downsides to summer weddings. Mosquitoes, sweltering heat and not to mention expensive plane tickets, gift registries, and cocktail dresses! When I can’t afford to fly across country to wish my friend her best on the big day, I send her one of our animated wedding ecards.

Summer weddings make me think of some great old timey wedding songs, like Going to the Chapel by the Dixie Cups, or Today I Met the Boy I’m Going to Marry by Darlene Love. Here’s a great link to a 1967 video of Dionne Warwick singing Burt Bachrach’s Don’t Make Me Over. There’s nothing like a black and white video from a bygone era with a swooning voice! Puts me in the mood for love!


 

Summertime Birthdays!

The Doozy team of scientists are in the Doozy laboratory hard at work to create digital birthday cake.

Birthday Cake

It won’t taste like microchips (or potato chips, for that matter!) but rather like traditional buttercream. We hope to offer digital birthday cake in both chocolate and vanilla for our customers and to release Red Velvet flavor sometime next year.

JUST KIDDING!! But seriously, what should you mail your kids who have summer birthdays if they’re away at camp? Candy, games, markers, journal, or …. a free birthday ecard! Okay, this was news to me, but I just found out kids have access to computers these days at camp. When I was at camp, we were forced to write them on a postcard or paper. Now there are whole businesses devoted to keeping you in constant digital contact with your faraway children (wasn’t the idea behind camp originally supposed to be to give your kids wings to fly?!?)

Anyway, you can send your son or daughter a CUTE free birthday ecard from DoozyCards.com like this one: Happy Birthday to Ewe Ecard

Have little brother or sister send this soulful, funky free birthday ecard: Funky Penguin Birthday for Brother Ecard

Now I’ve got to get back to the laboratory. They need me for testing the icing. Should we dye it pink, purple, or blue? Rainbow, I say!

10 Reasons for Kids’ Summercamp

1. Allowing your kids to get outdoors and enjoy nature.

2. Kids meet new friends!

3. Time alone with husband.

4. Becoming penpals with your own child.

5. Time ALONE with HUSBAND!!

6. Don’t you wish YOU could have learned to play the guitar or to knit placemats at their age?

7. Waging war against mosquitoes, flies, and other summercamp critters, is a great way to build character.

8. Time for ME! Manicure, spa time, reading alone, a bubble bath. Did I mention time with husband??

9. Cleaning the house without it getting immediately dirty again.

10. Giving them a hug when they come home!!

SO CUUUUTE!

I’ve got a few friends with summer birthdays – zodiac signs Compassionate Cancers, Wholehearted Leos, and Successful Virgos. Send your summer birth-time friends free ecards from our Free Birthday ecards section.

For some of my girlfriends, I give them a little risqué humor. Such as this Sex and the Kitties ecard.

I have some friends with an anniversary to celebrate this summer.Whether they’re commemorating a wedding, business venture, or friendship, our Free Anniversary ecards are a great way to say “Way to GO, hon!!” We have plenty of fun free e cards for that anniversary occasion celebrating one year to sixty years. I just love this Grand Anniversary ecard that celebrates the French monarchy. Mostly because it reminds of the famous British monarchy couple – Wills and Kate – who recently visited Los Angeles. Send this card to a grand couple in your life.

Stay tuned as Doozy will continue to add to our free e-cards section over time. It’s the perfect way to wish someone well on a holiday or any daily occassion!

Let it Never be said Doozy Disregards BBQs

Well the Summer Solstice has passed, and we are officially in the thickets of summer. The sun is delightful here in Southern California. Those who are lucky enough to have access to a pool are enjoying splashing around with their families. People in Los Angeles are already a-buzz making plans for July 4th. Many people migrate to the beaches of Santa Monica, Malibu, or Orange County. Others forgo the mass transit and over-populated highways for a backyard BBQ.

We here at Doozy never underestimate the significance of a summer BBQ. That’s why many of our summer ecards highlight this fun pastime. Our Mission Impossible summer e-card features a Secret Ops squirrel that behaves to the Golden Retriever’s dismay.

Whether you like to barbeque chicken, hot dogs, pineapple, or green peppers on the Barbie, Doozy’s e cards will commemorate this summertime fun.

As buzz builds for the 2012 election, this summer we’ll enjoy constant news reports and TV coverage of President Obama’s campaign as well as his Republican counterparts. Be it Congresswoman Michelle Bachman or Former Governor Mitt Romney or many other politicians in the news this summer, our Founding Fathers BBQ ecard is a great one to send to your politically minded friends.

Founding Father's BBQ

This summer, look forward to a reappearance of our hilarious politically-spoofed e-cards. Here’s what we did back in 2008 in honor of the Presidential campaign:

Candidates Music Video e-card

Note: We believe in bipartisan mockery. We are equal opportunity pie-throwers. We’d love to hear from you what kind of campaign season humor you’d like to see. Please leave a message in our comments section below.
