FriendsnFamily.com was born in 1997 out of a simple question: Why do we spend so much time and money sending cards that are opened, smiled at, and then tossed aside?

Over the years, I realized that what we really want during the holidays isn’t more paper—it’s connection. We want to share our stories, our milestones, our gratitude, and our faith in the relationships that matter most. At the same time, it felt wrong to keep contributing to the environmental waste that comes with traditional holiday cards.

FriendsnFamily is our answer. It’s a modern way to honor tradition without the waste—replacing paper cards and postage with beautifully crafted multimedia e-newsletters. Instead of a single printed photo, you can share photo galleries, videos, GIFs, and meaningful moments that truly bring your year to life. One message. One click. A lot more meaning.

My hope is that FriendsnFamily helps you pause, reflect, and share what truly matters—while enjoying a multimedia experience and doing a small part to care for the world we’ve been entrusted with.

Thank you for being here, and for choosing connection over clutter.

Warmly,
Sandy MacDougall
