What are the Different Types of Birthday Cards?

A birthday is an occasion when you may receive a card in acknowledgment. There are many types on the market that are suited for every person you can think of. Whether you are looking to give a funny birthday card or send one quickly, there are various options for you to choose from.
The most common birthday cards are the traditional paper birthday cards. Some come already written with greetings in them while others are blank so the sender can write his or her own message. The cards can range from being very simple to incredibly elaborate and the prices can vary depending on the card choice.

Sometimes people just forget to send birthday cards. In this case, you would send the person a belated birthday card. If sending one, in addition to the typical birthday wishes, there should be a personalized note explaining how sorry you are for the delay.

Should you need to send birthday cards quickly, you can opt for sending e-cards. Not only can they reach the intended recipients within minutes, but also they are an environmentally friendly option to sending paper cards. There are many sites devoted to sending e-cards and, while you will have to pay to send some, there are exorbitant amounts that are free.

Another type of birthday card to consider giving is one that is paper, but musical. A sound chip is placed inside the card so when the recipient opens it, the card plays the intended tune. While some birthday cards play the typical “Happy Birthday” song, others can play a variety of songs including those from popular singers.

A similar card to the musical birthday card is one where the sender can record a personalized voice message to the recipient. At the press of a button, the sender records his or her birthday wishes and can have the chance to perfect it before finalizing the message. When the recipient opens the card, instead of getting a handwritten greeting, they can hear the person’s actual voice.

There are many different types of birthday cards to choose from, but it is all a matter of sending one that the recipient will enjoy. It is a great way to acknowledge his or her special day, especially if you cannot be there to help celebrate it in person. Even if you cannot afford a present, a card can actually be a gift in itself.
