A short history of the birthday card – Sending a birthday card is an act of communication. As families grew and moved on, sometimes across oceans or continents where travel was lengthy and cumbersome, they provided a connection to family.

Keeping in contact with them is undeniably important and a birthday card is one of the ways to retain the bond.
