Update: A More Serious Elephant
After much thought, we've decided to take a more mature approach to greeting cards. From now on, expect only serious, no-nonsense greetings—perfect for sending formal messages with zero personality.
Just Kidding! Happy April Fool's Day!
We could never turn our backs on the joy of a silly card. In fact, our Jokes & Fools Collection is on sale now!
Have a Very Vintage Easter!
In our humble opinion, Easter should be a card-sending holiday (no surprise there, as we also believe this for all holidays!) — so we're giving you a head start choosing your Easter favorites to send!
The Art of Letter Writing is Here to Stay!
Crafting a message on our New Letter Writing Sets from Laughing Elephant will add a personal touch and a bit of visual beauty to your words.
We offer 12 letter sheets, with six matching envelopes. More new designs coming soon!
Card of the Week!
Who else can relate to getting distracted by books while cleaning the house and stopping to read? Miriam Story Hurford created this universal scene for the cover of Woman's World's March 1928 edition, and we've adapted it into a popular Books & Readers card! See this image on a card with a reading-themed greeting inside! or Shop our entire Books & Readers Collection!
Nice to Meet You!
We are Laughing Elephant, a greeting card and gift company founded in 1969. Our warehouse and retail store are located in Seattle, Washington, and we are the keepers of one of the largest libraries of illustrated books and ephemera in the United States. From this library, we draw inspiration and images that become the source material for all our offerings. We curate our collections with the goal of sharing beautiful images with the world.
We celebrate the golden age of design, when artists and illustrators were an integral part of advertisements and merchandising. Their beautiful, hand drawn images inspire us to make gifts and cards you will love.
