Lighthearted - How long do you display Birthday Cards?

Two weeks is the norm here at Gravy Grange

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

My birthday is near Christmas, so I tend to leave birthday cards up for a few days after the decorations come down. This is what my mum used to do, as she said I should have a 'proper' birthday like everyone else, but it was always subsumed into Christmas.

One week then into the recycling bin.

One week then into the recycling bin.

A couple of weeks, then all except any from Gdcs (especially if handmade) into the bin.

About a week, then green bin for recycling.

As long as I fancy.
Up to 3 or maybe on rare occasions, 4 weeks!

We always seem to have hand made ones. I like to give the time and effort due respect!

And it's especially nice in the couple of weeks afterwards to say to my adult children or grandchildren when they visit how much I've enjoyed looking at them.

I put mine in the recycling bin today, after a week. We had a family meal out yesterday, otherwise they might have been gone before.
I had to smile when the postman brought some of them accompanied by a brochure for mobility scooters!

A couple of days in case there are any stragglers, I feel they should all go up for at least one day.

I keep particularly nice cards up forever. Especially as I only get about three birthday cards anyway!

2.5 weeks. I love to see my beautiful cards.
I was annoyed to pay a fiver each, years ago for cards for a friend & Sil, when I called day after with a gift, no sign of birthday cards.
So I asked why to both, up for one day & then straight in the bin.
So now I don’t bother with cards for them as they both said they don’t do cards.

Two weeks for me, too. Just like my mum.

Usually a week, but a bit longer for special family (or particularly funny) ones.

1 week in this household. My Late MiL, binned them after 24 hrs. When I asked her why after so many folk bothered to select and send them? she just replied, it's not my Birthday now.

One week unless they are home made. I keep these forever.

Depends. If they are special and or interesting, I put them on the notice board in the kitchen. Otherwise , in the bin after a few days.

DH’s birthday was over 4 weeks ago, but I only took the cards down for Father’s Day.

You can tell I don’t overwork the dusting front!

Happy Birthday, it sounds like you're having a great time.

I keep birthday cards up until I think it's time to remove them, which varies greatly. It's not something I actively think about, so they come down whenever I happen to remove them. It's usually a couple of weeks but this year they were up for about 11 weeks. My wife is the same. They look nice up, there's only us and the cats here, so no big deal for us.

one week usually

One week, but I keep them in a shoebox, till the following year

2-3 weeks at Bella’s abode

I usually receive five birthday cards and an e-card. My 70th was last week and I’ll keep them on display until the end of next weekend.

A week usually. I always keep the ones my GS sends me. They are mounting up😊!

A week.
