Do you still send them?  I do, but with the price of them, I can understand why some don't.  I'm not a fan of email greetings for birthdays, anniversaries, etc.  How about you?

Still send them, I get very nice ones in the Dollar Tree, either 50 cents or a dollar, both brands are nice, Tender Thoughts or Forget Me Not.

Some Party City stores also have very nice cards for $1.

I make most of my cards and then put them on with presents.  Those that I do send, because I add too many embellishments, I have to get weighed at PO to see how much postage is needed.  I,too, use Dollar Tree to buy cards for those that are not close friends as they are very nice quality.

I always send birthday cards and sympathy cards.  I don't like e-mail greetings for birthdays.  I buy my cards at Kroger or Target.  I do send expensive ones sometimes because I just love them.

@coffee drinker  Yes I still mail greeting cards to people I care about.

I always send cards, unless it suddenly 'dawns on me' that a person's birthday is that exact day of my 'dawning'. Then I send a 123 Greetings card online on the person's birthday day.   Nice selection at Dollar Tree, btw.   ........ I might add that if I'm very late (a week or two) in remembering a birthday, I still send a card with a notation re: sending it late, etc.   'Better late than never'.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

Yes I do still send cards; actually, I send A LOT of cards---birthday, get well, thinking of you, sympathy, holiday cards, and blank cards with my personal notes.   

 

I am known for my cards and personal notes.  I enjoy letting my family and friends know I'm thinking about them;  I want them to know I care.   Unless I lose my sight or my ability to write, I will always send cards, because they do support and encourage people, and that is important to me.   

 

I order all of my cards from Current; placing 1-2 orders a year when they offer free shipping.   I have 2 3-drawer plastic stands that hold all of my cards.   I rarely pay more than $5 for a pack of 8-10 cards and buy many of the mega value packs.
