Our reliance on instant messages has taken a huge chunk of emotion out of all our interactions. Sure, our ability to respond to events has increased, and we can reply back instantly, but something is missing. Perhaps it is how a handwritten note in a greeting card makes us feel, or perhaps it is the way we consider all the external elements of the recipient's life before writing a note inside the card. What makes greeting cards so special is that they symbolize care, that someone has taken out time, money, and put in effort for you. Why should you be sending greeting cards, you ask? We say, why not? 1 - Thoughtfulness Greeting cards are an excellent way of letting someone know that they're being missed or thought about. This doesn't always have to be someone you've been friends with forever; it can also be a person who helped you a long time ago. Being far away from people and reaching out with a greeting card is a surefire way to make them feel special: it tells them that they matter. This is especially important in today's time when loneliness is at its peak, and people often feel unloved or forgotten. 2 - For Admiration Nothing screams "I appreciate you" louder than a greeting card (certainly not an instant message). If you want to let someone know that you admire them, get them a greeting card. This doesn't always have to be romantic, either. You can send admiration cards to anyone you admire, perhaps a colleague or a classmate! 3 - To Congratulate Celebrate achievements. Use greeting cards to congratulate someone and let them feel like their accomplishments are seen and recognized. Someone close to you had a baby? Someone got the job they've been trying so hard to get? Someone has finally managed to overcome an addiction? Send in a card! All little and big things need to be encouraged. 4 - For Condolences
If someone is going through a tough time, it's comforting to know that they're being thought of. Send a condolence card for a friend who has lost a pet or someone special. It can be tough to deal with loss, but a simple gesture like sending in a card can make a huge difference in someone's life. 5 - For No Reason At All! Do you always need a reason to send in a greeting card? Not really. You can send in cards to people you love just because you can! This random gesture would surely lift their mood and make them feel cared for and loved! You can also get customized cards from The Eclectic Chic Boutique that are non-traditional and super cute.

It made sense when you stated that sending greeting cards to congratulate someone will make them feel like their achievements are recognized and seen. This made me convinced more that my idea to send congratulations cards to my friends is a good choice. I will now look for a printing service that can customize the cards for me.
