For me, getting or sending happy birthday cards has always been an afterthought. I would pick up a happy birthday greeting card as I stopped by the drug store on the way to a friend’s birthday party, I would sign it, and tape it to the top of the gift that I had already bought. I never really thought that a happy birthday card could be anything but a tasteless, basic greeting. It is really nothing more than a procedure - something to demonstrate that you care for your friend enough to give them your best wishes along with your gift. I did not know there was so many kind 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 on someone’s birthday. The very first one I received was in fact one of those animated happy birthday cards. It had a whole flash animation that went with it, complete with a story. Basically, it was a character dreaming about all the stuff that he would like to receive for his birthday.

In the end, however, all he got was happy birthday cards. I believe that the gift that the character was receiving was in fact supposed to be the happy birthday card that I was getting at the time. I found it funny and cute, 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, to find a card that does interesting and cute things, you do not have to send happy birthday cards over the Internet. In fact, you can find singing happy birthday cards on the market these days. While they don’t actually “sing”, they do play a tune on an annoyingly high-pitched FM chip. They are funny, quirky and cute. A person usually appreciate these happy birthday cards for about two minutes, after which they get extremely annoying. You can also make your own happy birthday cards. I suppose that this was how people did it back in the days. However, it is somewhat of a lost art nowadays. 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.
