Birtday wishes...do you send cards by mail, or email...

I do send actual cards in the regular mail. I send them to my sister, brother-in-law, grandparents, best friend, a couple close friends, and my aunts. I have a lot of other relatives, but I don't send them all actual cards. I give my mom and dad cards, but I can hand those to them. They live near me. It can get expensive, but I just want them to know I took an extra step to make sure they knew I care about them. Personally, I like getting regular cards and e-greetings, both for my birthday. I don't feel like someone doesn't care, ya know, like you said. I don't have a cell phone though. I probably wouldn't know how to get messages even if I did have one!

Hi anetteh, Happy birthday to you! Well, for me personally, I also love it when someone send me a birthday card, it is more surprising and it is more memorable. I still send birthday cards sometimes, especially to my loved ones. But, as we all know, technology makes everything easy, lol.. People don't bother to send cards anymore, as send e-card and texting are easier. Well, I can't blame them, though.

Happy birthday anetteh! It’s so nice to know that you have received lots of happy birthday greeting sms today. Anyway the traditional card from your kids’ grandparents is the most unique one among all. nowadays most of us prefer to send email or sms instead of the traditional paper birthday card. Yeah, for this is more effective and convenient as well. We could receive the e-birthday card or sms greeting instantly. We don’t have to worry and bother much whether the traditional birthday card sent could reach the person on time before his birthday. Yeah, we couldn't deny that only the traditional and well designed paper birthday cards can keep for memorable collection for life. Happy birthday and wish you all the best!

I do rubber stamping so make my own greeting cards...so I still send them....and my sister I send alot of cards and she said there is nothing nicer then going to the mailbox and finding a card instead of all bills!LOL

I have the same sentiment as you. I also like receiving cards for my birthdays because cards can be kept forever. As for emails and texts, they can never be saved forever. My friends always greet me through emails and text only. My family sometimes gives me birthday cards which I always love and treasure. As for me, I always give a gift and a greeting card to my family and boyfriend during their birthdays. As for my friends, I just text them or email them during their birthday like what they do.

I always make an effort to send actualy cards. Everyone likes to get real mail that isnt bills or junk! There is just something about it that feels special! The other thing that I do is try to call people on their birthday. That way they know I am thinking about them. I also like that it is personal. Sending electronic wishes all of the time seems so impersonal. It almost loses its meaning that way! I am also thankful that I still get real cards in the mail. A couple of people are really good at timing it so that I get them on my birthday. It really makes the day feel complete!

I have to agree with you on this one. Yes, it's nice to be remembered on your birthday. And, getting messages on facebook and texts saying happy birthday are nice. But there is a little more magic to going out to the mailbox and seeing an envelope with your name on it and knowing that someone went through that extra trouble of sending you a card. It just makes it a little more special.

Happy Birthday :) As to whether I send cards by mail or email it depends on who the person is. If its my mom or my aunts who really dont get on the internet, I send cards by mail, others like some of my friends and cousins who check there email throught the day, I send a card by email.

Either way. I think the more important thing more than the way how you are greeted on your birthday is the fact that they remembered your birthdy. For other ways to greet a friend, here's a good site http://www.gifti.us

I do both, I send ecards to friends, and actaul cards to my family.

I send cards by email as well as snail mail. I think snail mail is more preferred because it shows intimacy. Online cards are free, they take no time to prepare and it can be scheduled. This can't guarantee that the person who sent it really remembered your birthday. And don't worry if you have got less cards. Take it easy. There are friends here right? HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU FRIEND Happy mylotting. A.J.

I usually send my greetings through email and friendster, most of my friends receive from me a messages when i know that their birthday is already coming.

me i just great my friend in sms and my member of my family just call them or tell them in person..and my love one i need to buy card or sent in email.

Growing up i had always received birthday cards via mail therefore i always send them now.Esp with kids its gives them something to look forward to when something in the mail pile is for them. Even with adults A greeting card is always a nice gift as opposed to all the bills. lol I do save cards as well. My mom had always saved all the Christmas cards and cut them creatively for gift tags the following year. That is now what i do! Cards are great either way. To save or to recycle.

I will choose to use email. This is because email is very fast. It would not be very convenient to use mail because it might not reach on time and it might lost half way. So, I prefer to use email.

I like to recieve both type of wishes. But i have to say that obviously I prefer Birthday Cards. I am that type of person who saves everything from a simple ticket, photos, cards etc. Cards are wonderful! I treasure so many things like that. I would be happy to receive a bday wish by text msg but of course the birthday cards are much more important at least from the closest people to me like my family and my best friend. I would never stop sending birthday cards because they make a birthday lively and you can see them again after so many years. My sister is 31 and im 21. We still have the cards given to my parents when we were born, you can imagine how old they are. These little things make part of your past and its a pity to stop certain traditions.

I prefer to send wishes by email. it is very easy .you need not go to shop for getting cards. by sitting at home you can mail.you can choose your own time.
