The enormous selection of birthday cards can leave anyone breathless in the quest for the perfect one. From cute and humorous to more risqué options, there's something for everyone. But have you ever thought about how this custom began?
Birthday celebrations trace back to when people first learned to track time. In those early days, dominated by Pagan beliefs, fear of evil spirits was prevalent. It was believed that these spirits were most potent on the anniversary of a person's birth, leaving the individual vulnerable. Elaborate rituals emerged to protect people from negative energies, and the presence of friends and family offering well wishes became a key defense. Sending wishes for happiness, health, prosperity, and more was thought to counteract these malevolent forces.
Today, despite the vast variety, the essence of well wishes in birthday cards remains unchanged. Whether humorous or heartfelt, each card seeks to convey positive thoughts. It's believed that modern birthday cards originated in England. Initially, only the wealthy could afford these intricately crafted items, but the idea soon became widespread, making cards accessible to almost everyone. Some preferred to create their own, a trend that's resurging today with crafts like rubber stamping. Children, in particular, love making handmade cards, enthusiastically decorating them with stickers and drawings, delighting recipients with these cherished creations.
