Happy Birthday Cards - Traditional or Digital?

By: Paul Zayer

For me, getting or sending happy birthday cards has always been an afterthought. I would stop by the drug store on the way to a friend's birthday party and pick up a happy birthday greeting card, I would sign it, and tape it to the box of the present that I had already purchased. It never came to my mind that a happy birthday card could be anything but a tasteless, simplistic greeting. It is really nothing more than a custom - something to prove that you had thought of your friend enough to offer them your best wishes along with your present. I never thought about the variety of birthday gift cards available, and the way some of them have been created.

That all changed when I fist received an happy birthday e-card from one of my friends. For your information, a birthday e-card is basically a greeting card that you can transmit over the Web to another Internet user on his birthday. This particular one was in fact an animated happy birthday cards. It came with a whole flash animation, accompanied by a story. Basically, it was an animated animal dreaming about all the things that he would like to receive for his birthday.

However, all he got at the end was happy birthday cards. I believe that the present that the character was offered was in fact supposed to be the happy birthday card that I was receiving at the time. I thought it was cute and funny, but more importantly, it made me understand I could be more creative with my own birthday greetings. Since then, I have tried all kinds of things with happy birthday cards!

Of course, you don't have to send happy birthday cards over the Web to find one that does funny and cute things. There actually are singing happy birthday cards that you can buy in stores. While they don't actually "sing", they do play a tune on an annoyingly high-pitched FM chip. They are funny, quirky and cute. Someone usually appreciate these happy birthday cards for about five minutes, after which they are becoming very annoying. You can also create your own happy birthday cards. I suppose that this was how people did it back in the days. Nowadays, however, it is somewhat of a lost art. I greatly suggest that you try it though. It is really rewarding to make something pretty for someone that you like vey much or love.
