Adorably Awkward Greeting Cards By Emily McDowell

We’ve all probably found ourselves, at one point or another, standing in front of a wall of greeting cards and finding that none of them are capable of expressing your actual feelings in simple sentences. Emily McDowell, a designer, and illustrator has a perfect solution to these problems. She designs “Awkward Cards,” which are awkward, truthful, sincere, and funny greetings that say something meaningful and beautiful when you just can’t figure out how.

All of the awkward handmade cards have quotations that reflect the messiness and weirdness of relationship statuses in a funny way. “I love coming up with creative ideas and making anything that helps people feel understood – it means a lot to me when people pick one up and think, ‘So I’m NOT the only person who feels this way? What a relief!,'” the illustrator told Modern Met. But if relationships were not filled with awkward situations or difficulties, they wouldn’t be all that interesting, right?

    I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.
