It is easier than ever to wish someone happy birthday. Whether through social media sites or even through a simple text message, there is now no shortage of ways in which we can let someone know that we are thinking of them on their birthday, no matter how far away they might be.

Except there actually aren’t that many ways at all. Text messages are hugely impersonal whilst a wall post will see your sentiments being lost amongst the well wishes of hundreds of other people, all of whom probably do not actually have any real connection with the person whose birthday it is but merely received a prompt that told they should probably write something nice.

Therefore, despite the fact that some see them as archaic, birthday cards remain the only real way to show you care. Not only must happy birthday cards be sent in advance to ensure they are received on the birthday and in turn will rule out the chances of you looking like you only remembered their birthday because a social networking site told you so, but actually taking the time to buy a card, write a personal sentiment and send it to someone is going to mean far more than a quickly typed text or wall post.

There are also many other ways of personalising cards too. Whether you choose to buy funny birthday cards that both you and the recipient can relate to or even choose to completely personalise a card by having the name or photos of the recipient printed on the card, you can easily show that their birthday means more to you than just a few simple words, and in the process help them feel far more special.

So, whilst cards may seem out of date in the modern age, they are actually even more important than ever as a way of showing that you care.
