Happy Birthday Cards - Do You Send Real Cards Or E-Cards?

For me, getting or sending happy birthday cards has always been an afterthought. I would stop by the drug store on the way to a friend's birthday party and pick up a happy birthday greeting card, I would put my signature on it and maybe a little note, and tape it to the box of the gift that I had already bought. I never really thought that a happy birthday card could be anything but a cheesy, simplistic greeting. It is really nothing more than a ritual - something to show that you care for your buddy enough to give them your best wishes at the same time as your gift. I did not know there was so many kind of birthday gift cards available, and the way some of them have been created.

That all changed when one of my friends got me a happy birthday e-card. If you do not know what a birthday e-card is, it is basically a greeting card that you can mail over the Web to someone on his birthday. This particular one was in fact one of those animated happy birthday cards. It came with a whole flash animation, accompanied by a story. On the whole, it was a character thinking about all the stuff that he wanted to get for his birthday.

In the end, however, all he got was happy birthday cards. I believe that the gift that the character was offered was in fact supposed to be the happy birthday card that I was receiving at the time. I found it funny and cute, but more importantly, it made me understand that with my own birthday greetings I could be more creative. Since then, I have tried all kinds of things with happy birthday cards!

Of course, to find a card that does interesting and cute things, you do not have to send happy birthday cards over the Internet. In fact, you can find singing happy birthday cards on the market these days. While they don't actually "sing", they do play a tune on an annoyingly high-pitched FM chip. They are cute, quirky, and funny. An individual usually appreciate these happy birthday cards for about three minutes, after which they are becoming very annoying. You can also create your own happy birthday cards. I suppose that back in the days, this was how all the people did it. However, it is somewhat of a lost art nowadays. I greatly suggest that you try it though. To be able to make something pretty for someone that you like very much or love is very rewarding.
