The sending of annual greeting cards around the holidays began in the 1800s and is still a strong tradition today. Here are some etiquette tips to remember when preparing to send yours this year.
Leaves & Berries
Who is on your greeting card list? Holiday Cards are great for family, friends, clients, employees and business associates. Keep your card appropriate though. Unless you are close friends with your clients, a family holiday photo card may not be your best bet.
Professional Season's Greetings
What to say? Send more genetic greetings to those you don’t know well. Merry Christmas may not apply to everyone on your list. Rather than risk embarrassment, Season’s Greetings or Happy Holidays is a better greeting choice.
Thanksgiving Foliage
When to send? Thanksgiving Cards are gaining in popularity. They can be sent before the holiday season shopping begins so that you have one more thing crossed off your to-do list. Arriving before the other holiday cards, they are given more attention and displayed longer. Remember though that Thanksgiving is an American holiday so think again before sending them to your international business associates.

If you have any other questions, let CardsDirect know and we’ll do our best to answer them!

I just moved my parents from their home of 35 years to an apartment in a retirement community. It was a challenge to choose what to keep and what to toss since space in their new place was limited. As I went through the drawers and closets I was surprised to see what my parents had elected to keep all of those years. There was the family china, crystal and silverware of course, but also every table cloth and placemat ever received. I found boxes of 10 year old chocolate that were probably gifts from others and that I was really tempted to taste! I also discovered my mom must have an obsession with colorful paper cocktail and luncheon size napkins.

Saved Greeting Cards

One very special treasure was a collection of greeting cards. Yes, there tucked away in a closet was just about every birthday card, holiday card, thank you card and of course, letter, I had ever written. Who knew these would take on such value. Or, is tossing greeting cards with hand written notes just something no one knows when to let go of? It was fun to look through these cards with my parents and relive some of these snapshots in time from the pass. There were thank you cards from when mom helped me when my babies were born and birthday cards from when my dad was much younger. There were family Christmas cards with group pictures and letters from college asking for more money.

It doesn’t seem likely that I’ll be sitting down with my parents to go through saved emails but the memories and joy in sifting through this collection of personal greeting cards with them was an afternoon well spent. Wouldn’t you agree that greeting cards are special personal treasures?

A big thank you to those that have sent their unused greeting cards to us for repurposing. We have received cards in just about every category and have forwarded them on to non-profit organizations that have requested them.

We do want to thank S. Knighton from Newton, NC and L. Nix from Washington, DC, as well as all of those who have sent packages anonymously or with just their return address but no name included.

If you could use any of our donated cards, let us know how many and in what categories and what organization you represent and we will get them to you. We know holiday cards are great for showing your appreciation to donors, sponsors and volunteers and the season is fast approaching.
