A few
times, I have heard people say that Facebook and the internet as a whole will
completely kill the greeting card industry; but I doubt this will ever happen. Even
though it’s now possible to create a card on the computer or phone and send it
online, most people dislike e-cards and prefer cards that they can write on, touch
and see, and even place somewhere in their room. Keeping that in mind, here are
ten types of cards you should never fail to send to anyone close to you.
1. Anniversary card
Sending a Facebook
message to your spouse is fine; but when it’s a message meant to replace that
of a card on your anniversary, it just can never work. Even if you feel cards
are an extra cost, this is one occasion when you shouldn’t fail to get one.
Not only have I seen truth in your eyes, you remind me of
time itself; for you are my past, present, future, and forever.
I love you.
Happy Anniversary.

2. Thank You card
Some of us tend to have a hard time
using words such as ’sorry’ and ‘thank you’ .This shouldn’t be the case though.
It’s always good to gather your courage and apologise for that stupid mistake,
or say thank you for that thoughtful act of kindness that someone showed when
you were too proud to ask for help.
3. Birthday Card
Birthdays come
and go every year but despite that, I am yet to meet anyone who doesn’t like to
have their special day remembered. Whether it’s your parents, kids, spouse, colleague,
or friend, sending them a birthday card will go a long way into making their day
more meaningful.
4. Baby shower
Do you have
any friend who is just about to have their first child? Or maybe an aunty who
can’t wait to welcome her newborn into the world? Giving them a beautiful card
alongside something they could use for their child will surely make them appreciate
the gesture.
5. Sympathy card
When a
friend loses a loved one, nothing will be more important to them than having
someone who can hold their hand. Thus, as you make time to be with them, you
can also send them a sympathy card. Ideally, it should be one with a handwritten,
comforting message.
6. Get well soon card
Giving a
get well card to someone who’s sick can greatly help cheer them up. As you plan
to visit them in the hospital therefore, you should make an effort to get them
a card as well. A card with a cheesy or funny message should do the trick.
I know you miss coming to work!
Get well soon. Now.
Love,
Boss.
7. Valentine's card
February the
14th is a day that we all look forward to and since it only comes
once a year, it’s good to join everyone else in sharing the love with others. Even
if you can’t afford to buy those flowers and chocolates, you can send your
loved one a card with a heart-warming message to let them know why the mean
the world to you.
8. Congratulations card
Whether one
is graduating with their first degree or a master’s, graduation is always a
much anticipated event. Thus, it’s good to give a card to the person graduating
to show them that you are happy for them as well. A job promotion is yet
another great achievement; hence you shouldn’t miss the
chance to show your support with a card when that friend or family member gets
promoted.
9. Mother’s day card
There are
so many people and things to love in this world; but of all of them, none
matters as much as your mother. After all, without her, you would never be in this
world in the first place. This is why you need to show her your love with a gift
and a card on mother’s day.
10. Father’s day card
If you believe
there’s no one like your father in the world and have been longing to let him know
this but can’t figure out how and when to do it, you should take advantage of
father’s day. Then, you can get a card and write down all your feelings so he
knows that you truly appreciate his presence in your life.
Do you send
paper cards often? If you do, what type of cards do you send? Do you feel that
