I don't know where I heard about them, but I've been sending my cards for years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-birthday-cards#post-2614095 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 13:13:57 +0000 Mamaof2 2614095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I love that but so weird about them not taking hallmark cards!</p> <p>•We can not accept Hallmark, Disney or American Greeting cards </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-birthday-cards#post-2614052 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 12:41:38 +0000 BSB 2614052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: Cool!

I'm guessing years from now, it might be nice for my LO's to see cards from those people. Especially any cards where they wrote a personal message. </p> <p>Also, I wouldn't feel hurt if they tossed them. Don't feel guilty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-birthday-cards#post-2614029 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 12:11:48 +0000 BSB 2614029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: What's the St. Jude program? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-birthday-cards#post-2614028 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 12:11:35 +0000 BSB 2614028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do... but not sure what I will do with it. Maybe put a hole punch through the corner and make a book out of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-birthday-cards#post-2614026 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 12:04:39 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2614026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep cards from special people or if there is a nice note. So far my mom has sent a card for every one of DS's first holidays which are nice keepsakes. I've started a memory box for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-birthday-cards#post-2613991 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 11:27:59 +0000 mediagirl 2613991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep Christmas cards from the previous year to remember who sent them so we can reciprocate. I don't keep birthday cards unless they're super special. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-birthday-cards#post-2613988 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 11:26:46 +0000 Boogs 2613988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. Then I just kept ones from us and grandparents. I actually donate cards to the St. Jude's recycled card program, which made getting rid of them easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-birthday-cards#post-2612575 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 10:29:31 +0000 snowjewelz 2612575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty sure we don't have any from her first birthday laying around still...

Otherwise they all go in the recycling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-birthday-cards#post-2611965 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 13:01:51 +0000 Reese 2611965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. We only save a copy of our own Christmas card or if something very meaningful is written in the card.</p> <p>DH's mother recently gave us shoeboxes full of EVERY card he had ever received since his birth.... 😳 We "saved" a few and chucked them. We felt guilty about it but what were we supposed to do with 20 " happy 4th birthday, signed X" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-birthday-cards#post-2611933 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 11:43:42 +0000 Bao 2611933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you keep the birthday cards your LO gets for their birthday? What about cards for other holidays? What do you do with them if you do keep them? </p>
