I love to give cards to people if I admire anything about them or any occasion they have. I have got few reasons to give cards --1) Good luck 2) Apology 3) Festival 4) Love 5) congratulation 6) Invitataion So do you people also give cards?? If not then why not??? On which all occasion you give cards?? Giving cards are just a formality for you or a heartly wish?? Which was most beautiful card of your life and who gave it to you??

add to your list bithdays, anniversaries, weddings, new home, new baby, get well, chritsmas, thanksgiving, easter, childs hi, i miss you, thinking of you i give cards from the heart, not just a formality. sometimes i make the card from scratch instead of buying. i also send e-cards and a snail mail car to surprise them. my daughter gave me my best card ever. all it said was; mom, i loveyou and i want to thank you for loving me. it is still on my dresser and it is signed by her and a friend of hers wrote on it also. she wrote; hi "mom" thanks for letting me call you mom, i love you too. I will cherish that little card forever. the flowers that accompanied it are long gone but their beauty are in my heart.

My family all live across the country and I think it is nice to send cards with special messages for holidays and special times, when we can't be together. My kids also like making the cards themselves. It adds a personal touch to them. People always seem to like them better. The main events I send cards for are; birthdays, christmas, easter, mothers/fathers day, anniversary's, general we miss you cards and just a note to say hello! I definately think they are better than an e-card!

Cards are really a nice wa to express our feelings. Irrespective of the important occassions i do send cards to my friends. Most of the times on the ocassions of birthday, festivals i do send cards to friends and relatives. Wishing on festivals and birthday is different from wishing good luck , congratulation and conveying a sorry. I do send cards when i feel sorry , that i had made some mistake cause of the misunderstanding i will deffinetly send a card and apologise. Thats the best way to convey the message with a cute card.

I give cards on many occasions, that includes birthdays, anniversaries, baby shower, milestone achievements, baby births, personal victories, farewell, bon voyage...the list is endless. I love to give cards so I'm always looking for a reason..lol I like to receive cards too. I try to give paper cards as much as possible and revert to e-cards at the nth moment. I don't consider it a formality and give it with a sincere wish.

Usually I give out cards to my family, girlfriend, and other people close to my heart during Christmas and on their birthdays. And for special occasions like they're celebrating some great achievement like the graduated, or won something really praiseworthy, or I have made them feel bad, I do give them cards be it congratulations, invitation to dinner out, or apologies. and sometimes I just give out cards just because... I love hanging out at the bookstore here in the city, and when I find some cards which are really beautiful, I do pick them up and give them away to either my girlfriend or my parents. I just love to see the smile on their face when I handed them the cards.

i usually send or give cards to my friends and loved ones on special occasions like graduation, wedding, birthdays, passing a board exam. invitation cards are being sent by my grand daughter if she wants to invite her friends for her birthday. during valentine's day, i gave my partner lovely roses and a special card about love and thoughtfulness. so far i do not remember giving an apology card to anyone.

I used to be a card collector. I will buy tons of different cards for every occasion. Since I got my computer, I stopped buying and just print my own personalized card. It can be for a birthday, a wedding, an anniversary and so on. I can't pinpoint which is the most beautiful cards I received. All the cards I got were placed in a special box.

I normally send out cards once a year. It would be during the festive season such as Christmas or the New Year. I find it a good idea as it is an "excuse" for me to keep touch with long-lost friends. ;-)

Birthday cards are my number one choice, and then Christmas,Valentines Day, St. Pat's Day, Easter, Graduation, Get Well, and Sympathy. I have a real hard time getting cards because I have to read every card in the store before I pick one out. A lot of times I have a hard time matching up the card to the person, so I've made up my own cards. I think my husband gave me the most beautiful card of my life, because he usually doesn't give cards, and this one he wrote in it too, so it really meant something.

I love to give and receive cards. My favorite is just an 'I'm thinking of you' card. I gift a lot of fun or sweet, blank inside cards and say that it made me think of them when I saw it. A nice, strategically placed, 'to start the day of right' card is always nice. And then there is the card left in your spouses luggage when they go away without you.
