Extra special birthday cards

No one ever gets too old to enjoy their birthday. No matter whether someone is turning seven or seventy, it’s nice to be spoilt and made a fuss of for the day. For little ones there are presents and parties to look forward to. For the grown ups a chance to have a big family together at a nice restaurant. Either way it will be a day to remember.

It’s always nice to make a little extra effort to mark someone’s special day. Cards are the perfect way to show someone how much they mean. Once all the presents have been unwrapped and are long forgotten about, those heartfelt words in special birthday cards will still resonate with meaning.

Traditionally there was only one place to shop for cards. The traditional card store. Racks and racks of cards, some arty, some humorous. The choice was always OK, except for one thing. All they offered were standard issue, generic cards. There was no way to customise or personalise them.

Thanks to the Internet that’s all changed. These days people can design their own personalised birthday cards. And that opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Take a picture or a photo and turn into a card. Add in some personalised text. Make someone laugh, or cry. Thanks to easy to use software anyone can create their own cards. No design or artistic skills required. It’s so much fun and so much more personal too.

So this year maybe it’s time to pass on the dreary standard issue cards down at the shop. It’s time to get creative and create something truly personal and unique. That special someone will be really touched when they open a card that has been designed just for them. Pure inspiration from whoever took the trouble to do that.
