Just about three months left in the year, it sure did go by quick, time is coming up for the three of the major holidays. Halloween cards, Thanksgiving cards and of course Christmas cards. Beside Valentine, these are the other top days to send out greeting cards.
We travel back for the beginning of custom of sending greeting cards, this practice of sending cards is traced back to the ancient Chinese. There lot of things we use today came from China. The Chinese exchanged greeting messages of good will to celebrate their New Year. The current Year 4705 is used by the Chinese calendar. The early Egyptians conveyed their greetings on papyrus scrolls. As early as the 1400s handmade paper greeting cards are exchanged all throughout Europe. Germans, the inventor of the printing press, had been known to have printed New Year’s greetings announcements from woodcuts as early as 1400. These handmade paper Valentines were being exchanged in various parts of Europe in the early to mid-1400s.
Now you can order greeting cards via internet or the old school of social networking with personalized formal holiday themed party invitations, New Years Eve party invitation or birthday cards. Old school greeting cards are sent via the mail, it is nice to get cards in the mail.
Currently outfit of Greeting Cards Cafe are promoting their greeting card website by allowing anyone to have a Free printed Greeting Card posted from Ireland to any address. That will be cool, my kids like to talk in a irish accent everyday.
