Fading era of Greeting Cards

Fading era of Greeting Cards

“Let us not merely say that we love each other, let us show the truth by our actions.”

If you are one of those collecting special greeting cards sent by your friends, relatives and colleagues then you have every reason to be happy. This is because these cards say a million things by just their communication, design, colours and such other special attributes.

A greeting card expresses all the human emotions, joy, thanks, sympathy, love and admiration. It allows us to connect on an emotional level with the people who have touched our lives. Sending personalized greeting cards allows us to express our caring to family, friends, customers, clients and employees.

These days people find it easier just to send an on-line greeting messages which is still nice, but nothing does it better than making an effort to physically show love by sending\giving a card and feeling a sense of love by receiving a card, knowing the effort and sacrifice that has been made.

Time is the most precious thing we have to give so if we spend time choosing, writing and sending a card we are helping people feel valuable and worthwhile

The occasionally written cards are vanishing today. People are going online and the essence of handwritten material is been rapidly vanishing from the globe.

The joy of sharing special emotions in those colorful cards with handwritten quotes to someone important was an affectionate way to reflect the bond they shared. This bond made one more emotionally and physiologically attached to someone for being able to share one emotions and feelings openly.

These cards always tested one’s patience if it was written with an expectation of reply. As it was a symbol of affection and bonding, one would always wait for a card in reply. Those were the times when one did not just decorated them with all glitters, artistic drawings and quotes but also expected something similar in return.

As of today, people have forgotten the essence of that card and the unusual smile which was always witnessed when they were received. Online greetings somehow lack the essence those cards carried whenever they were received, back then.

Greetings card not just created memories. Whenever came, they brought a whole new “season” with them.  A season of love, affection, bonding, relationship, well wishers, as if winter or autumn arrived in our lives whenever they did.

In Patna there are many famous shops where greeting cards are available like: Archies gallery, Card Street  and FlowerAura Patna.
