50th Birthday Cards

Home



Another very important part of a 50th birthday are the 50th birthday cards. Any gift must be accompanied by a card - its just the rules! And because its such an important birthday you need to make sure these cards are over the top!

Birthday cards can be a lot of fun to buy, make or send. Like any cards, you have three options for the types of cards you want to give. These 50th birthday cards can be store bought, home made or e-cards.

Store Bought

With store bought cards, it is always important to take extra time finding the perfect cards. These cards are more generic and some people just skim through them and toss them aside for the gift. If you take the time to pick out a perfect one, they will want to cherish it and won't throw it away like its a piece of junk mail. Never just pick up one card, buy it and sign your name! It is not personalized or special in any way. Take your time, read through a bunch of the cards - there's always something that will just be perfect for you if you take the time to look.

Once you find this perfect birthday card (buy it of course!) then write something in it - not just "love, me" or "happy birthday". Again, take some time and put some thought into a few lines you can write to just tell that special person to have a great day and what they mean to you. I find a quick joke or one line about how much you love them can work. It doesn't have to be lengthy just a short and sweet message.



Home Made

In my opinion a home made card is the best way to give a card! I swear by home made cards - and very rarely give people store bought ones! These 50th birthday cards are not only very personal and special, they are also a lot of fun to make! Even if you make these cards on the computer, they are still just as personal - for those that are not as artistically inclined.

In future I will get creative and make some 50th birthday cards and I'll be sure to take pictures and post them here to give everyone some great ideas for birthday cards.

With homemade cards you've got endless possibilities for ideas. Decide what kind of card you want to make - funny, touching, romantic, childish, etc. From there decide what you want to say in the card, and brainstorm a layout. Every good card needs a blueprint. With this blueprint you can easily create your masterpiece!

Some materials you can use for these 50th birthday cards are:

-construction paper
-markers, crayons, pencil crayons
-glitter or paint
-stencils, cut outs.
-pipe cleaners, pom poms, ribbon
-pictures



E cards

In the age of the internet, these 50th birthday e cards are getting to be more common. These cards are handy especially if you live a long distance from someone. These are easier then snail mail - and you can guarantee they get there on time! You can even create them and set it up to send on a specific day - so a week before you can do it and you will ensure you don't forget that special day! With these e cards you can write whatever you want underneath them, but the same as a store bought card - take your time and find the perfect one!

If you can not find a perfect e card you can always make one yourself. To do this you would create the card with a graphics program. In this program you would make a picture with whatever you would want your card to say. After you've perfected your picture all you would need to do is save and email it over. Here's some ideas for 50th birthday ecards that you can make yourself using a graphics program.
