Over 2 billion greeting cards are sold in the UK each year. People in the UK send more cards per

not consistently observed anywhere else.
Cards are sent to celebrate many types of occasions such as birthdays, Christmas, graduation,
new home, engagement, and even divorce. Greeting cards come in different shapes, sizes, and
styles, including humorous cards, photo cards, artistic cards, and handmade cards.
Even in the age of social media, greeting cards continue to play a significant role in UK culture.
People still want to celebrate special occasions with their loved ones and to mark many of life‟s
important moments by sending a card.
