Ramadan is right around the corner, and many who observe the month will soon be inundated with WhatsApp messages, memes and GIFs as people congratulate each other about the start of the holy month.

But this year, Ramadan is a little different as we approach it in the middle of a global pandemic. A Ramadan greeting card to let your friends and family know that you're thinking about them could go a long way, and may be one of the only ways to greet some this year.

If you're planning to send out an e-card and don't know where to look, here are five good options....

Canva.com

This is easy to use and includes a wide selection of templates, including Ramadan cards. Most templates are free and all you need to do is sign up to get access. Just search for the word 'Ramadan' to see their many options.

Paperless Post

Similar to Canva.com, Paperless Post allows you to create everything from invitations to greeting cards. The New York tech company has a dedicated Ramadan and Eid category under Holiday Cards. The selection is small, but the designs are stylish and simple. Some cards are available for free.

Greetings Island

If you're looking to share a Ramadan e-card in Arabic, then Greetings Island is one of the sites that has a few Arabic-language options. All their cards can be customised and shared via email or Facebook, or downloaded as a PDF file.

Punchbowl

If you like a traditional looking greeting card in a digital format, then you will find it at Punchbowl. This holiday season, the website is offering all Ramadan digital cards for free between April 23 and May 23.

Someecards

This is not your typical greeting card website. These meme-style e-cards are humorous and not meant to be taken seriously.

Although not customisable, they're all free and easy to share.
