The size, types, and emotional impact of birthday cards depend upon who you are getting birthday cards for. You may wish to purchase your card from a discount store such as Walmart if you are trying to save money. Cards that are flashier and generally more expensive can be found in specialty shops, like Hallmark, for those who have the financial means to spend money on them.
Online is another good place to buy great birthday cards; many of these can be bought in print and in bulk. If you have a technology savvy friend, you might wish to send them an email delivered card instead; many websites send this way and allow you to pick from a variety of types while allowing you to add your own personal message. You can also send musical and animated versions; while some of these services are free, many of them require registration however.
Another favorite birthday cards are hand made cards which can be found at flea markets and craft shops. Hand made cards can sometimes be purchased at wholesale clubs like Sam’s Club or Costco, as well. Many people find the handmade cards to be very sensible in their pricing range. The typical rate of such cards is between ten to thirty dollars per box.
Birthday cards are available in many different types, and you will easily be able to find one for any children, from 1 to 18. You can also buy cards for the age of 21 and 30, and one to mark every decade after 30, up to the age of 80. It is a rare achievement to live past the age of 80, and cards celebrating those ages will likely have to be special ordered.
Many people give messages with the theme of ‘over the hill,’ and many more enjoy the idea of themed cards. A personal example of the type of over the hill birthday card can be found in the type of card that my father received for his last birthday; his card read “you’re a national treasure…unfortunately the government has failed to allocate funds to your maintenance.” Older men have an especially difficult time dealing with aging, and their entire day can be made better by the right humorous ‘over the hill card.

There are also themed cards for the younger generation and birthday cards with sexy women, alcohol, or crude gestures are very popular with today’s young people. If the child in your life enjoys Disney, a Disney themed card - which include Aladdin, Disney Princesses, Cars, and assorted other movie favorites - may be the answer. These kinds of cards are designed to be fun to open and play, with their musical and pop-up features. Of course, the best way to learn more about birthday cards is to visit the card aisle at any department store, discount store, or specialty store such as Hallmark.
