\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When selecting birthday cards<\/a> for my employees, I try to make it easy on myself.  I only set two rules for myself.  First, keep it fun and simple.  Second, go generic.  I do not want to worry about whether a card is too feminine for a guy or to masculine for a woman so I try to pick a birthday card<\/a> that can be used either way.  I also want to select a birthday design that suits all ages so no one is offended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birthday Balloon Bundle Card<\/a> is one of those perfect examples.  How can you go wrong with multi colored balloons?  The red teal purple and orange balloons with different color ribbons is definitely unisex.  I also like the fact that it is a photo surrounded by a gold frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Birthday Wishes Card<\/a> also fits the bill and I think that is just what you see when you look at the cover.\u00a0Red, blue, yellow and green make it a suitable card for all.\u00a0 Who doesn\u2019t like candles and cake? The detail on the front greeting is entertaining and sure to get a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birthday Burst Card<\/a> is a simple but playful card great for everyone.\u00a0 The flying confetti and Happy Birthday words are done in a hue of colors and are dotted with stars.\u00a0 When I see this card, I see celebration!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When selecting birthday cards for my employees, I try to make it easy on myself.  I only set…","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":12027,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1292,1297,31],"tags":[38,129,822],"class_list":{"0":"post-11486","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-occasions-and-celebrations","8":"category-birthday-inspiration","9":"category-business-birthday-cards","10":"tag-birthday-cards","11":"tag-employee-birthday-cards","12":"tag-office-etiquette","13":"cs-entry"},"yoast_head":"\nBeyond Birthday Cake: Why Employee Birthday Cards Matter -
