Lighthearted - How long do you display Birthday Cards?

I am celebrating my 85th birthday over two Saturdays - a fortnight apart. My actual birthday fell on a Saturday, but with three of my younger g.children being involved with GCSE's, could not arrange the family celebration until two week later. Had a lovely afternoon tea with a couple of dozen local friends

Anyway, this means that I have lots of birthday cards, which i have put up on all available spaces in my Living Room. Many have been hand-made and I will keep these until the Saturday of my family party.

Just wondering how long after that I should still keep them up? So was wondering how long other G.N's display birthday cards.

I only put the 2 from girls on the window sill in my living room for a few days, if there any others I don’t bother they go in the recycling after a few days but I keep the other 2 in a box.Most birthday greetings are Watsapp messages from from GC and there family’s.

I get quite a lot ( smug mode) and keep them all up for a full week🤭

I make bookmarks or gift tags out of the pretty ones.

A week and they often are displayed with my Mothers Day cards.
My neighbour seems to keep hers up for a month.
