Brutally Honest Greetings

Unfortunately Cards Let You Tell it Like it is

For repressively shy folks who just can’t fully express their true feelings, there’s not an app for that -- there are the Unfortunately Cards.

Unfortunately Cards are a series of greetings that lets you tell it like it is. Each of these cards has brutally honest statements that will make the receiver laugh out loud -- or burst into tears, depending on your intentions. The best part? It’s suited for just about every occasion. Suppose you want to tell a bro that settling down with his missus is a mistake; send him the “I hope you and your mortgage will be very happy together” card. Want to express how good of a friend you are? The “You’re a good enough friend that I’m pretty sure I’ll never sleep with your ex” should prove your worthiness.

Don’t hold back, check out Unfortunately Cards. If your recipient happens to cry, just remind him or her that honesty is the best policy.
