What is National Send A Card To A Friend Day?
On February 7th, National Send A Card To A Friend Day reminds us to send friendly greetings through the mail. We do this by sending a note or letter on a card to the people we hold dear. We often think about our families throughout the year. We wonder how they are, miss them, and recall fond memories of times past.

Greeting cards became extremely popular for specific holidays and events during the Rennaisance period. Victorian times, the greeting card was used more often for Valentine's Day, Christmas, birthdays, and other occasions.

Although they can only make these purchases for special occasions and are more likely to give them as a gift when attending an event, they are buying.. That said, retailers continue to reduce their presence in the greeting card aisle. That said, retailers continue to reduce their presence in the greeting card aisle.
