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?
