Why Do We Give Birthday Cards?

The tradition of giving birthday cards is thought to be over a hundred years old. Though there is no record of who sent or received the first birthday card, it is believed that the tradition of sending birthday cards began in England a century ago. In those days, people used to greet a person on their birthday in person but, if they were unable to do so, they would send a birthday card in apology.

Birthday cards are an important part of the annual birthday celebration and provide an opportunity for us to show how much we care. Personalising these cards with a birthday quote or greeting makes them endearing and very special.
