Lighthearted - How long do you display Birthday Cards?

I’m very impressed that you have a couple of dozen local friends, I wish I had xx happy birthday xx

Can be weeks, I love looking at them plus they hide the dust 😂😂

srn63 that’s a rather cynical view. If you are housebound, or lonely, it’s nice to receive something through the post, reminding you that someone has taken the trouble to remember you.

It's not cynical, that's how I feel, I'm not asking anyone else to feel the same.

Not daft at all Granmarie 🥰.
Well hubby had his 70th on Sunday which was also Fathers Day and sadly the first fathers Day without his dad too.
I am probably on my own here, but I can keep cards up on display for up to 3 months!!🤣🤣

Mr Sunshine’s cards will come down just before my birthday in September and then we have Christmas cards, and then our anniversary in March!

There’s always cards of some sort on display. It makes us happy to see them and to read the messages inside. You do you - there’s no right or wrong way x

Binned the next day. Worthless clutter.

I don’t display them at all! I stopped doing that when there were no children in the house.
My friend keeps all her cards for one year, then, when the next year’s cards arrive, she goes through the previous year’s cards, and if anybody has died during the year, she keeps the last card from them, and puts the rest in the bin.
Now, that’s organisation!

A week. Thought I was being extra sentimental keeping them up that long, but apparently not!

I keep all cards out for a year ... Why not ? I love some Xmas cards and dont want to chuck them away and but new ones ? Why ?

I love receiving cards and sometimes keep them up for several weeks. Some people put a lot of thought into choosing a card and I feel it’s only respectful to admire them as long as possible.
Afterwards they go in a drawer somewhere, find if hard to get rid of them!!

My birthday is the end of October. My cards stay up until Christmas cards start arriving.

One week!

Less than a week

I've recently started treating birthday cards like Christmas cards, they go up when they arrive and come down a day or two after.

Approximately 2 weeks as a rule. They then get recycled unless they are particularly special or make a lovely picture - I’ve done that with a couple of cards, bought a cheap frame and put them on the wall.

We keep cards up for one week .. Happy Birthday 🍰

We always keep cards on display for a week. They are then stored with other cards (Christmas cards are kept separately) until… whenever!

Same here...........

About 2 weeks unless another person has a birthday then they come down. When my eldest DS lived at home my birthday is very end of August and his first few days into September so mine only used to get 4-5 days. Now he has his own home minecget 2 weeks.

No longer than a week, usually 3 or 4 days, then they go into the recycling bin.

7-10 days for me I’ve just celebrated my 70th and held a party so I have a lot and I’m loving seeing them.

About a week.I keep cards that are special to me for other uses.I've cut some apart to use in scrapbook making. Some are so beautiful that I put them in a picture frame.

I get very few actual cards now - most of friends and (small) family members have already died - I am 91 years old. However, I do get numerous WhatsApp greetings with Gif pictures.

About a week, usually.

I always keep the the big O cards as they are a reminder of how far I have come.
And usually those particular ones are special.
I’m eighty now, so not a lot more I guess.
Ha Ha.

No more than a week after that I’m done with my birthday!

Birthday cards up as we speak, for a week. Also Fathers day cards! Mothers day falls around my husband's birthday so two lots up then too.

I have kept two from birthday in March. Living alone they are a cuddle in a card
