Take the time to show you care.

We are often reminded by our techy friends that digital communication
is the only way that friends and family want to connect. So why, we say
to them, do we have so many people requesting personalized printed
invitations, birth announcements, messages of love, holiday cards,
wedding invitations and the like?

The Greeting Card Association gives us the answer - why so many of us
love to receive a card in the mail rather than an impersonal email. It means
that:
  • Someone has taken the time to send a special message
  • Adds a personal touch to special occasions and holidays
  • Connects us to many types of people including co-workers, teachers, family and friends.
  • Helps us put our emotions into words
  • Provides a tangible keepsake to document special moments in our lives
  • Helps us reach across generation, gender and cultural communication gaps
  • Provides comfort to someone and makes sad times less painful
  • Boosts emotional well-being through reaching out to others
  • Makes a loved one feel special
  • Preserves memories of connections with friends and family
  • Show someone you care!
