Let me just tell you how convenient <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/product\/birthday-assortment-1-701851\">boxed birthday cards<\/a><\/strong> are! Everyone with children, especially young children, knows that going to any kind of store can be an adventure in itself. Before I bought my boxed cards online, this is how my adventure to the card store went\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Going to a card or stationery store can be worse than going to a toy store. They walk in and see thousands of brightly colored greeting cards and can&#8217;t help but want to touch every one of them. So, while I&#8217;m trying to find those special birthday cards, I&#8217;m also making sure my \u201cangels\u201d (who are trying very hard to listen to me) do not touch the cards on the shelves. If I am not quick enough in picking out a card, their patience runs out. Then their little hands start helping me select cards.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the problem occurs when one of them accidentally bends the corners or crinkles a card. So I&#8217;m left with the thought of either paying for a slightly thank-you-for-your-business card or quickly putting them back on the shelf. At the end of the adventurous trip to the card store, I end up spending money on at least one card I have no use for because it&#8217;s slightly damaged and spending half an hour in the store for one or two simple birthday cards.<\/p>\n<p>When I found bulk birthday cards, it was the best thing! Not only are they brightly colored and the children love them, they also save me a lot of time and money!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I have two small children who are both in day care and both attend a lot of birthday&hellip;","protected":false},"author":160,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1297,13,1292],"tags":[94,407],"class_list":["post-3709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-birthday-inspiration","category-inspirational-greeting-card-tales","category-occasions-and-celebrations","tag-boxed-birthday-cards","tag-bulk-birthday-cards","cs-entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.1 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Boxed Birthday Cards Are The Best Thing That Ever Happened - Business Greeting Card Blogs &amp;
