History of Greeting Card

Tweet

Greeting cards started out as simple slips of papyrus, that were exchanged by both the Egyptians and Chinese as message of goodwill. As the concept of greeting card evolved, Europeans began to send them to one another for holidays such as valentine's Day - and this occurred as early as the 1400's. Of course, these cards were handmade and expensive so not everyone could afford to send greeting cards for their holiday well_wishes.
