Do you send birthday cards to everyone in your family? To your friends?  email this discussion to a friend?

I can't tell you how many times I've bought a birthday card and forgotten to send it! All good intentions are there but it happens more times than I like to admit. I think the only person who definitely gets a card from me every year without fail is my 82 year old mom. Since there is nothing that can be bought for her she really does enjoy the birthday cards. This year I sent her one that when you open it plays "roll out the barrel"...a very old song from her time and she was so thrilled with it she called people on the phone and played it for them...lol...that was better than anything anyone could have given her for a gift.

I also usually remember to send my granddaughter a card especially if there isn't going to be a birthday party where I can just hand it to her. I know how much she enjoys them and my daughter has been keeping all of her birthday cards since she was a year old!

Do you send birthday cards to your family and friends? Do you feel bad when you forget?

I think just as long as we remember our family that's what counts.

If someone in my family or friends get birthday, i usually just send e-card or sms. Because now, i live abroad far from my own family. But for family from my husband, we always sent birthday cards for them. Sometimes, we just call them "happy birthday".....^_^

I do send e cards to my daughter and grandson who live in CA and they do the same for me. I even sent them to my daughter and son who live here in MA plus the regular card in the mail.

I have to remind myself like the month before to get them a card a gift. Sometimes I'll also send them an E-Card if they are online just to brighten their day. I am really forgetful about buying cards though.

My mother has the right idea. She buys cards at the beginning of the year, signs and addresses them. Then she writes the dates on her calendar so she never forgets. I've thought of doing this but never do.

Actually that sounds like a great idea...maybe I should try it. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'd go broke if I tried to send a birthday card to all of my family and friends. I usually call them or send an email to wish them a happy birthday. The exceptions are people who I hardly ever see, or milestone birthdays, like 30th, or 40th. Those get a card, usually.


myLot reputation of 98/100. ctrymuziklvr (4712)   ranked 126 out of 5,020 in family  5 years ago

I'm lucky because I have a small family. The problem is that most of the birthdays fall around the same months.

No not all the time. I do for my parents and inlaws though. I keep forgetting my neices and nephews birthdays which is not good I know.

I have to admit, ctry, that I have grown very lax when it comes to sending any type of greeting cards to family members and friends. I don't know why this is so considering it has always been a priority with me. I have cards from my kids since they were small that I have saved. I always sent my mother birthday and Mother's Day cards, and sometimes Christmas cards. When I was growing up sending out cards was the thing to do. We always did this. I guess for some of us many of the traditions have fallen by the side of the road.


myLot reputation of 98/100. ctrymuziklvr (4712)   ranked 126 out of 5,020 in family  5 years ago

I think the high cost of postage has stopped a lot of people from sending cards. I know Christmas cards are seldom received from me!

Yea I do send cards to some members in my family but mostly to my friends. And if I do forget to send one I always feel so bad. I love getting birthday cards myself.LOL


myLot reputation of 98/100. ctrymuziklvr (4712)   ranked 126 out of 5,020 in family  5 years ago

I get birthday cards from very few people and I love it when I do. My son always sends me very funny ones and the rest of my family sends me daughter, mother and neice cards.

I was doing it until a few years ago and than I stopped with it. Now I only send it to my closest people, like my parents and relatives. T friends I only send e-cards and that is all about it. I am not sure how exactly this happened, but it did, and at times I feel bad about it, but this is life I guess. If you dont get it - no reason to send it, is it?
