Bespoke cards

Greetings cards have been around for thousands of years, since the Ancient Chinese began sending
them to wish their loved ones a prosperous New Year. It’s thought that the ancient Egyptians also
sent each other messages written on papyrus to mark special occasions. Of course nowadays there
are so many special occasions to mark throughout the year, the greetings card industry has grown
into a massive enterprise employing artists, writers, designers and printers right across the globe.

Most big newsagents and stationers now stock a vast array of cards for every occasion, and while
nearly all personality types will be catered for, there’s something special about sending bespoke
cards to the special people in your life.

In recent years bespoke cards have become very popular as many companies have now made it so
easy to order a card that is printed exclusively for one person. It’s now possible to choose your own
design and add your own wording and have a professionally printed card put together in no time at
all. Most bespoke cards are printed for birthdays, particularly milestone birthdays like an 18th, 21st
or 60th, however if you want to get bespoke cards printed that simply say ‘Thinking of you’ there’s
nothing to stop you doing this.

Bespoke cards are a great way of showing someone that you really care, as they do require a bit
more effort than simply walking into a shop and picking one off the shelf, and they will certainly
mean a lot to the people who receive them. It means you have taken the time to go online and really
think about the person you’re sending the card to and have put some effort into what you want to
say to them. Bespoke card companies will have a variety of different designs to choose from and
some will even allow you to send in your own design or a particular photograph that you would like
incorporated into the design.

All in all, bespoke cards are fun to put together and are the perfect choice when you want to mark a
special occasion for that special person in your life.
