Many Christmas cards are sold in aid of charity and special charity card shops are often set up in temporary premises in the weeks before Christmas. A wide variety of birthday cards is available to cater for different ages and tastes. Some, especially ones for young children or for people celebrating a particular birthday, have the person‘s age on the front. Many have comic, often risque, messages printed on them, and cartoon-style illustrations. Others are more sober, with reproductions of famous paintings or attractive original designs. The usual greeting on a birthday car d is Happy Birthday‘, Many Happy Returns‘ or Best Wishes for a Happy Birthday‘.

Some people also send special cards for Easter and New Year. Easter cards either portray images of spring, such as chicks, eggs, lambs, spring flowers, etc, or have a religious theme.

Cards are produced for every “milestone‟ in a person‘s life. There are special cards for an engagement, a marriage, a new home, a birth, success in an examination, retirement, a death in the family, etc. Some are good luck‘ or congratulations‘ cards. Others, for example get well‘ cards for people who are ill, express sympathy.
