A Greeting That You'll Fancy Eating | Personalised Cards from GettingPersonal.co.uk

21 July 2009

Greetings cards are precious because they give people the chance to tell each other how they feel at key points in a person's life. For that reason many people hold on to the greetings cards which have moved them the most over the years, storing them with keepsakes, photographs and mementos. That way, years later when they happen upon them again they can feel the warmth and love, the happiness and joy that they felt at the time of receiving the card. This article is called a 'greeting that you fancy eating' because some cards are so crammed with meaning and feeling that they're good enough to eat, but others are really just awful.

It's apparent to most of us that the job of a greetings card is to delight the person receiving it, and yet so many of them are unrepentantly un-delightful. Every year thousands of us hand over some boring cards which we bought from stationery shops in train stations! Immediately after buying said card we grabbed a pen and wrote some random bit of 'politeness' inside it and then handed it over like a court summons. It's so sad. That's why the only way forward is to start giving personalised cards instead.

The Benefits of Going Personalised There are several cool advantages to personalised cards. Firstly, they are personalised, that means that you can add the name of the recipient and their age (if you want to) right to the front of the card which is the part they'll see first!

Secondly, they cost the same as regular cards being around the £3.00 mark each and best of all, you order them on the internet which means you can get them either delivered to you or to the recipient for free! That all adds up to the convenience of an e-card, the personalised qualities of a handmade card and the print quality of a store-bought card for the same price as a boring one.

If you have a personalised cards delivered to you then you can write your own lovely message inside it by hand and if you get it sent to the person you're giving it to you, can add a message online instead when you order and it will be printed inside the card for them before it's sent to them.

Surprise And Excite
The best thing about personalised cards is that they will often make your friends, husband or relatives gasp! No one expects to see their name, or nickname on the front of a birthday card these days, let alone one which is beautifully printed and looks completely professional. It shows them that you've gone to a bit more effort and wins you respect, adoration and appreciation.

If you add their age to the front of the card you might want to check you've got the number right first though because if you get it wrong by a couple of years they might either kiss you or punch you! Neither of which you may want.

Joking with friends and picking on them (a little) is all part of the fun though and when it comes to personalised cards you should choose the word you add to the front of the card wisely. It could be their real name, a nickname or even a reference to a joke you share. There are loads of designs available including some funny ones so if you only like handing out cards that make people laugh you'll still be spoilt for choice. There are also cards for kids, personalised cards for those people who love dogs or cats and even some slightly saucier cards for grown-ups which feature handsome men or stunning ladies. Something which all personalised cards have in common is that on every single one there is at least enough room for one word or name.

Good Enough To Eat
Oh, yes and there is another reason why this article is called a 'greeting that you'll fancy eating' there are some personalised cards out there which are perfect for chocoholics. Imagine your chocolate loving mate opening the envelope and sliding out their glossy personalised card. Then imagine their face when they're greeted with a picture of a rich chocolate desert on the front and their name 'swirled' in to the sauce! Mmmm.

They might be so impressed with it that they want to eat it. Don't let them though, because greetings cards are very difficult to digest!
