Social media vs greeting cards:


1. Our  general advice is that formal events require a handwritten note. But for more casual events and occasions, send an email or text message greeting or even post to Facebook. Just keep it tasteful, OK?
2. Getting married is a formal occasion. So we have to e[press emotions in a formal style on a paper card.
3. Romeo didn’t email love letters to Juliet. It’s difficult to imagine that you can print  an electronic love card or letter to express love or propose marriage/ That wouldn’t touch the heart.
4. Don’t send e-cards to Miss Manners or sentimental people. They annoy people because they take a long time to download and for those who are sentimental about cards, they can’t keep them in the same way. It is an inconvenience and not very charming.
5.Words of sympathy, regret, or sorrow should be written as a sentiment  with not so many pictures.They are in between (digital and in-person messages).
 6. It is not a good idea  to use Facebook to wish your mom happy birthday. We believe she  dreams of  getting a personal  printed card
7. You should know where your friends are. You have to know  your friends’ actual habits. Some people don’t answer the phone. Others forget to check their emails.

More Reasons to Send a Card



Cards are just one way to keep in touch as well as to express emotions such as love, congratulations, condolences and gratitude. Although we live in a world of digital communication, a card sent through postal mail can mean a lot to both the sender and the recipient. They can even mean more than an email, an e-card or even a phone call sometimes. 

 Nowadays there is a card for just about every special occasion. Everybody has a different reason for sending cards. Perhaps it's someone's birthday. Maybe you want someone to know how much you love and appreciate them but are too shy to tell them face-to-face. Maybe you know that receiving snail mail with something as simple as a "hello" will brighten a friend's day.

Another great thing about sending out cards–particularly holiday cards which usually only happens once a year–is to stay connected with those that you don't get to see that often. Perhaps loved ones or extended family that live far away, or that favorite cousin of yours that you haven't seen in a long time. Sure, you may "see" them or chat once in awhile via Facebook but a short, handwritten note in a card can be so much warmer and even more special.
Thank you cards are probably the biggest reason why we send out cards. It's common practice to send a thank you card whenever you receive a gift, but we also like to send them as a token of appreciation for things such as a home-cooked meal, freshly baked cookies, a particularly fun lunch outing, for taking the time to listen, for being a knowledgeable city tour guide during a visit or for house-sitting while being away on a trip. It's nice to let others know that they are appreciated.                                                                                                                                                                        Other reasons to send a thank you card include job interviews, whenever someone does something for you that is helpful for either your personal or professional life.
