Do you still send Greeting Cards or you just send a text mesage & e-mail? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 75/100. pink_lady (218)   ranked 829 out of 19,223 in questions & answers7 months ago

Hi fellow mylotters.
I just want to ask you guys if do you still use Greeting Cards to greet your friends and family? or do you just send them text messages or maybe send them e-mail greetings?Nowadays, with our technology, I think most of the people are just sending their greetings via text message or via e-mail. But for me, sometimes I used Greeting Cards to greet my friends and family on certain occasions. I think they will appreciate it more to receive Greeting Cards than a text message or an e-mail. But I guess many of us here are not using Greeting Cards nowadays.
I wonder is the greeting cards old fashioned? or it is still widely used?

Oh yes, I still send greeting cards to my friends, especially on their birthdays. I think it's more personal and it shows them how much I care.

I used to send greeting cards but not any more since two years back. I change to send picture message and e-card through mail as I think it more easily. I don't think greeting cards are old fashioned but just imagine if everyone is still sending greeting cards and there will be a lot of "rubbish" after the occasions as I think most people will just throw away the cards.

Hi Lynn,

Yes, sending picture messages and e-card are much easier than sending greeting cards. I think different people has their own opinions and yes, some people don't like to retain cards, but others still keep it. But I guess the saying is true,:it's the thought that counts".

I don't send greeting cards anymore because people believed it's already obsolete, so I just send text messages, emails and posts (in friendster and facebook)to my friends and love ones.

Many years ago, I never fail in sending greeting cards to the people closest to me but as modern technology slowly taking place, I choose to just send text and email messages.


myLot reputation of 75/100. pink_lady (218)   ranked 829 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Hi Jlamela,

Yes, many people nowadays send text messages and post birthday greetings to their Friendster or Facebbok Accounts. I think it is better than not to remember them at all.

On special occasion like Christmas and Birthdays, i still prefer to send greeting cards. It appeared as more personal to the receiver especially, to my family and close friends. I want them to know that i still care for them even though i had moved to another town. I only send email greetings to my colleagues and new friends..


myLot reputation of 75/100. pink_lady (218)   ranked 829 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Hi Myfb,

Yes, same here also....I send Cards on Birthdays and Christmas too. And yes, it is more personal to send cards to your closest friends and family. Even though they are just simple greeting cards, the important thing is that you remember them.
Thanks for sharing...;o)

I will say that I had not send a greeting card to my friends in years. I will usually send text message to people. However, I do have a close friend who do still mail me greeting cards over the years to my address. I feel happy to receive it, but I admit that I'm not those who send out greeting cards in return.

I do not think that greeting cards are old-fashioned. It is just that I'm too lazy to buy and post it to my friends... I think the popularity of greeting cards had dropped a lot over the years. I still remember in my school days, most of us will send greeting cards to each other during birthdays and during festive celebrations. Nowadays, most people will send text message to send their greetings only...


myLot reputation of 75/100. pink_lady (218)   ranked 829 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Hi there.

I have also a friend who until now is sending me birthday greeting cards. Like you, when I received it, I feel happy and excited. She also send me personalized greeting cards in which she herself makes the cards. But sometimes I forgot to send her greeting cards so I just greeted her in Friendster and just send her text messages.
But likewise I still send her greeting cards often.

Thanks for sharing....;o)


myLot reputation of 93/100. gcorp09 (548)   ranked 3,076 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Hi,

It's really rare that someone sends out personalized greeting cards. You must be a special friend of hers. I think she should be fine even though you do not send her greeting cards in return. Do treasure your friendship with her...

Happy mylotting.


myLot reputation of 75/100. pink_lady (218)   ranked 829 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Hi,

Yes, she is one of my special friend way back in our Elementary Days. She is one year older than me. Since we moved to a city, we rarely see each other, but we still have communication with each other via phone calls and text messaging. Surely, I will treasure my friendship with her as always. But I make it a point to send her greeting cards without any occasion, just to say hi and missing her.
Thanks;o)


myLot reputation of 93/100. gcorp09 (548)   ranked 3,076 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  7 months ago

It's good to know that you 2 still keep in contact after she moves away. A lot of people will actually gradually lose touch over the years. This is very good. thumbup

Happy mylotting... happy

I get cards and letters from one of my friends who temporarily moved out of town. I kinda like it, its different. We are both 60 or older so we remember when snaol mail was about all there was.


myLot reputation of 75/100. pink_lady (218)   ranked 829 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Hi there.

I guess you are the type of person who still keeps those greeting cards. Same here, I kept all of the cards and letters into a box. Sometimes I read those and it has a different feeling to see all those letters. I felt touched and thankful.
Thanks for sharing....;o)


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8643)   ranked 134 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  7 months ago

I do not keep the cards anymore because since my brother passed away and my mom is 88 and does not drive she has no way to get me a card because I am always with her. I tell her to forget the cards now. Its too difficult for her to stand there and look through them and its troublesome also for her to walk alot but she sure does try. I just try to make things easy on her.

I still send a lot of greeting cards, this is mainly because i make them myself as it is a lot cheaper than buying them and it's mroe special as well.

Some people whom I don't tlak to as much as i used to get a text or a message on afcebook, but special people get birthday cards from me.


myLot reputation of 75/100. pink_lady (218)   ranked 829 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  7 months ago

I have always thought that greeting cards are a bit pointless. I would see no problem with sending somebody a text message or email, it would save a lot more resources. Lets be honest they normally end up in the bin a day or 2 later.


myLot reputation of 75/100. pink_lady (218)   ranked 829 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Hi there.

Yes, I think there are some person who would do that, but I guess many people still treasure those cards. But with the technology nowadays, I think they prefer Text messages or email to greet them.
Thanks for sharing...;o)


myLot reputation of 98/100. patgalca (6031)   ranked 77 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Good point. I was putting greeting cards in the recycle bin (unless they are from my kids or husband), but now keep them in a craft box where the pictures can be cut out and used for crafts.

I do,however, I send cards to my mom and to the other persons near me. It's for convenience, I suppose. For those who are abroad or to those who are in another city, I just text them.:-(

Hi there,

Yes, it is now a lot easier to greet your friends thru our Text mesaging and thru email..but sometimes some people want that special cards from you. But no matter how you greet them, they will be always thankful that we remember them, right?
