I have two small children who are both in day care and both attend a lot of birthday parties. Let me just tell you how convenient 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

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’t help but want to touch every one of them. So, while I’m trying to find those special birthday cards, I’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

Now, the problem occurs when one of them accidentally bends the corners or crinkles a card. So I’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’s slightly damaged and spending half an hour in the store for one or two simple birthday cards.<\/p>\n

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…","protected":false},"author":1,"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":"\nBoxed Birthday Cards Are The Best Thing That Ever Happened -
