other sentiment. Although greeting cards are usually given on special occasions such as birthdays,
Christmas or other holidays, such as Halloween, they are also sent to convey thanks or express other
feelings (such as to Get-well from illness). Greeting cards, usually packaged with an envelope, come in a
variety of styles. There are both mass-produced as well as handmade versions that are distributed by
hundreds of companies large and small. While typically inexpensive, more elaborate cards with die-cuts or
glued-on decorations may be more expensive.

2. Purpose of Greeting Cards

The purpose of greeting card is to congratulate, to wish or to show sympathy for someone

3. Generic Structure of Greeting Cards

The generic structure of greeting card depends on the design of the card. There are some important
things, such as:

To whom the greeting card is for. Write the name of the receiver on the top if it is necessary.
b. Body
It usually contains special quotes, wishes, expressions, and interesting pictures related to the
occasion.
c. Sender
Who sends the greeting card. Write the name of the sender at the bottom if it is necessary

4. Greeting Card Occasions List

There are so many occasions when a greeting card can be given to someone.
This is a list of some of the main ones:
a. Birthday
Celebrate the day when someone was born by giving them a greeting card to wish them a
Happy Birthday.

A Happy Anniversary card is usually given by a wives and husbands to each other and also to
the married couple by friends and relatives on wedding anniversary.

And if you really try If we try we shall see

Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify its soul
Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be god's glow

We could fly so high

Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place
