Birthday Cards​

Who remembers these old birthday cards? Birthdays felt extra special when you received one. They're harder to find nowadays, but they used to be everywhere and cherished by all. Do you still receive or give birthday cards? Share your fond memories with us in the comments!

I still send and receive birthday cards, but not nearly as many as in the past. I suppose the passing of time has something to do with that. Some of those people aren’t around anymore to send or receive.

Yes, I recall these cute birthday cards. I still receive a few birthday cards, and still buy for females, but not so much males. These days e cards seem to be popular and cheaper option, than buying and posting a card. Christmas cards are getting less each year in my household. A shame, as I enjoy decorating the shelf with cards and receiving cards in the post, but like previous post many have sadly passed on -family friends and Aunts/Uncles. E cards are great,but not the same as the real thing!

I still make and send cards - especially vintage looking cards

I used to love getting these really pretty cards and couldn't bear to throw them out. I think I may still have at least one in a box somewhere.

I give birthday cards to my friends, hunt far and wide for approriate and nice cards, find a lot of people on Etsy make beatuiful ones. I remember these cards fondly but unfortunately am not good at making cards.

These along with the kewpie doll on a shepherds cane were the highlight of the year when I was 4-8. My Grandpa used to treat me to one each year
