Nowadays there are such a lot of ways that we can  express ourselves, our feelings to somebody such as a SMS, an e-mail massage,  an ecard, a fax message or simply a phone / cell phone. But still greetings  cards are being used for this purpose. Some folk think to such an extent that  why to spend and time in buying and sending a greeting card, instead why not  send a SMS, so inexpensive and labour saving option!!!</p>
<p>These days what matters in each field is the display.  Greetings card is also one of the method of presenting your affections. I would  say the Greetings card is an esthetic looking packing of your affections /  expressions so the recipient feels happy and honoured.</p>
<p>Thus greetings cards may be employed for virtually all  occasions, only thing that you need to select the right card, suitable color,  design or picture together with the outlined message or your own handwritten  massage, which is going to show your love. As greetings cards are for many  reasons, occasions and thus there are plenty of types of greetings cards  available in the market :</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Birthday       card.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>New year card</li>
<li>Anniversary card.</li>
<li>Many thanks card.</li>
<li>Sorry card</li>
<li>Best wishes card</li>
<li>Good Luck card</li>
<li>Get well card</li>
<li>Flower card</li>
<li>Congratulations card</li>
<li>Engagement card</li>
<li>New baby card</li>
<li>Valentines day card</li>
<li>Xmas card</li>
<li>Mother&#8217;s Day card</li>
<li>Father&#8217;s Day card</li>
<li>Congratulation card and such like.</li>
</ul>
<p>Hallmark Cards and American Greetings  are the biggest producers of greetings cards in the world. In Britain, it is  determined that one bn. pounds are spent on greeting cards each year, with the  average person sending fifty five cards each year.</p>
<p>In the US, many adults historically mail  Xmas cards to their pals and relations in December. Many service enterprises  also send cards to their clients in this season, usually with a generally  sufficient non-religious message like &#8220;happy holidays&#8221; or  &#8220;seasons&#8217;s greetings.</p>
<p>The Historians say the custom of sending cards is started by to the  traditional Chinese who exchanged messages of good will to celebrate the New  Year. Egyptians in traditional times conveyed their greetings on papyrus  scrolls. By the early 1400s, home made paper greetings cards were being  exchanged in Europe. The Germans are known to  have released New Year&#8217;s greetings from woodcuts as early as 1400, and home  made paper Valentines were being exchanged in varied parts of Europe  in the early to mid-1400s.</p>
<p>By the 1850s,  the greeting card had been transformed from a comparatively costly,  hand-crafted and hand-delivered present to a favored and affordable way of  private communication. Thanks to new advances in printing and mechanization.  This was followed by new trends like Xmas cards, the first of which appeared in  broadcast form in London  in 1843 when Sir Henry Cole employed artist John Calcott Horsley to design a  vacation card that he could send to his chums and acquaintances. In the 1860s,  firms like Marcus Ward &amp; Company , Goodall and Charles Bennett began the  mass production of greetings cards. They employed well-known artists like Kate  Greenaway and Walter Crane as illustrators and card designers.</p>
<p>There are 2 major  classes of greetings cards, one is mass produced (revealed on offset printing  machines etc.) and other is home made cards. Hand painted cards is also a new  category of cards. These cards are also available but this kind of cards can&#8217;t  be mass- produced as each card must be individually painted. So each hand  painted card is one of a kind.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whether or not you are making custom greeting cards for  relatives and buddies, or planning commercial ones for sale, it is always  necessary to make each greeting card design special. I know it sounds clich but  it&#8217;s right. No-one would like a dull greeting card. When you print greetings  cards, it should be attention grabbing, fascinating and if at all possible  unique and notable. Anything less than this and you might be tossing away your  investment in emotion and in money. To stop this, we have collected a couple of  the best ideas you may use when you print cards. These special concepts are the  &#8220;hallmark&#8221; of unique and noteworthy custom cards that are worth  giving to your loved ones, and even selling to future clients too.</p>
<p>That personalized effect the most unusual and unusual  concept in making a custom greeting card design is to add in that personalized  touch. This comprises basically including an individual message or maybe a  custom image in your custom greetings cards. As an example, you may have your  own picture integrated in the greeting card design cover.</p>
<p>This gives the impression of the focus on detail and customization for the  greeting card. It will not appear as that uninteresting off the shelf card. It  becomes a genuine and private greeting card with the same impact as a genuine  letter.</p>
<p><strong>Interactivity </strong></p>
<p>Another good idea is to have an interactive greeting card design. This  involves making greetings cards that have some type of moving part the receiver  can manipulate. For instance, you may have a &#8220;pop up&#8221; custom greeting  card design that you can give to youngsters (or fun minded adults). With an  acceptable and engaging pop up design, folks can have some fun with your  greeting card making it particularly memorable and even collectible.</p>
<p><strong>Musical cards </strong></p>
<p>Music naturally has a great effect on folk. So why not add it into your  greeting card? Musical greetings cards are a pleasant way of adding the  relaxing and remarkable results of music to your greeting. If you&#8217;re ok, you  may even select a song or tune which has private meaning to the person you are  giving the greeting card to. This maximises the impact of the music making the  greeting card more unusual.</p>
<p><strong>Scented greetings cards </strong></p>
<p>Our sense of scent of course is hooked up to memory. Scented greetings cards  are a good way to engage the memories and imagination of your intended  receivers. A fresh pine smell can transport folks to a pleasant solemn forest,  while a pleasant flower perfume can leave them in a bright glade. The results  of smells burns the memory of your greeting card in your receiver&#8217;s senses  leaving them with nice feelings when they encounter the smell again.</p>
<p><strong>Different shapes </strong></p>
<p>Finally , an easy but great idea is to just change the form of your greeting  card to something unique. When folk think about greetings cards they see the  standard size as the sole sort of greeting card. The best custom cards change  their shape so they look more engaging and have a better impact for their  receiver. As an example, a &#8220;techy&#8221; person might think well of a gizmo  shaped greeting card, while a basketball star might enjoy a basketball formed  card. Folk will connect with the design and perhaps also have an exciting time  with it too.</p>
<p>So those are the common properties of greetings cards  that are special. If you&#8217;re making custom cards or printing commercial color  cards, it&#8217;s a brilliant idea to integrate these design elements into them. You  may also mix&#8217;n'match these designs to your liking. Using these ideas will let  you create memorable greetings cards that may certainly be respected and loved.</p>

When I got in line at  the checkout, the lady in front of me casually asked me who the card was for.  When I told her that I just liked the girl my child was so interested by, she  looked at me with a puzzled look on her face questioning why I might spend so  much cash on someone that was not a relative or my close private mate. Don&#8217;t  think too badly of her. She&#8217;s not the sole one who feels this way.</p>
<p>With the price of cards surging up to as much as $7.95 each, folk are  rethinking how much their chums are really worth. Though giving greetings cards  for memorable occasions has been about since the time of the traditional  Chinese and Egyptians, till the late 19th century, only the wealthy and royalty  could afford them.</p>
<p>Even if cards became cheaper due to inexpensive paths to do color print, you  would not see a clerk or farmer purchasing one. Only merchants and landowners  were added to the group who were purchasing such insignificant things. It was  not until the 1930s, when color lithography was developed, the society at large  started buying greeting cards.</p>
<p>I found this rather ironic seeing this was also the time of the Great  Depression. In the wealth years, this gesture of good wishes grew to one of a  biggest business. By the late 1960s, folks were a giving greeting card for the  neighbour nextdoor whose dog has a litter of puppies. Folks appeared to be  obsessive about spreading good cheer and condoling people who were not content  for no matter what the reason. This appeared quite odd to me due to how  disfavored the Viet Nam War was. However , the greeting card business was  growing and was even making cards that did not have any special meaning .</p>
<p>Sometime in the Company years of the 1980s, the exuberance to spread good  wishes started to decline. Was it the economics of President Reagan&#8217;s term (Reaganomics), or was it just that folks had become self-absorbed? To my mind,  it was more of the second. The &#8220;Me Syndrome&#8217;&#8221; had become the popular  hobby for all of society. If your buddy acquired a BMW, you had to have a  Mercedes. Society stayed this way for the main part up thru the 1990s. Somehow the  greet card industry held on. I saw more cards that were blank on the inside  giving people options for occasions. The greeting card shops had started to  expand in the 1980s to incorporate small gifts and knickknacks and by the 1990s  had some of the biggest stores in the malls. Sadly , most folks shopping in  these firms were purchasing for themselves or buy cards and gifts to galvanize  somebody.</p>
<p>Love was low on the list of concerns. When the nine /  eleven crisis hit, it also struck a nerve in folk around the globe that made  them start paying more attention to their neighbours, buddies, family, and even  strangers. Today, you not only can buy cards to give to the ones you care  about, but you may also send e-cards by e-mail. The gesture of good wishes  isn&#8217;t dying in my estimation but it is changing.</p>
