I have to be honest, I don't. The card is either a prequel to a present or it is the present. After I've opened one or the other the card gets tossed. I don't like keeping stuff like that, it just become clutter. The sender won't ever ask to see the card so I just discard. Do you keep the card? Maybe you scrapbook it or stick it under your mattress, maybe you're thinking you need to toss some right now, let me know.

I used to save all my cards but as time went on I had so many then I used some of them in craft work and then I decided to only save a few special ones from special people for the sake of a few memories...

That's cool, crafts are a great way to recycle the card and still keep the memories.

Hi,
though I haven't receive many cards, but if I receive some, I will take good care of them, sort them and keep them.


myLot reputation of 97/100. gitfiddleplayer (6410)   ranked 16 out of 1,260 in human  4 years ago

All right, keep the ones you get. Also, e-cards have taken the place of paper cards, they're more creative and funner to send.

I keep special cards like the ones from my children but all others go for recycling or I cut up and use in the art box with my son to do sticking with. I get so many that they do become clutter. Ellie :D

That's sweet, my wife and I have a shoebox with some special cards from the kids, handwritten and smudged, those are the memories worth keeping. Thanks again mom.

I don't know why but yes I did and do thet always from childhood.

We are adults longer than we are kids so, holding on to something from a time that won't return is very special.

I've saved all the ones from my last birthday. They are all still laying on my desk. I'm sure they will be tossed eventually, I just haven't got around to doing so yet. I don't normally keep cards for longer than a year unless I really like them.

I wish I had the space to save some cards, just ones from people who I might not see again or ones that are particularly special.

Cards are brilliant to look back on. Just recently I was doing a major clear out and found all my old wedding congratulation cards, and the ones from the birth of my first baby. They brought back so many memories. I had to bin most of them, but I've tucked a few away to look at in another 10 years!

That's cool, keep those special cards. Happy Anniversary (in 10 years).

I will save it for a while. If it's one of those double ones and there isn't any writing on the back of the part where the picture is on I'll recycle it. Just cut off the part with the writing and write your own message on the back. Stick it into an envelope and you'll have saved some money. Although I wouldn't recommend sending it to the same person you got it from.
