It was the first time I was old enough to really save stuff on my own and the little letters and cards are so precious. I still go through them now and again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-greeting-cards-right-away#post-214676 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 14:01:06 +0000 heffalump 214676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually cut them up to use to make a new card. I save lo's for her though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-greeting-cards-right-away#post-214675 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 14:00:44 +0000 autumnlove 214675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: So sweet! What is the oldest card you have in your collection? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-greeting-cards-right-away#post-214674 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 13:57:15 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 214674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I save them all in files. I can't help it... I'm so sentimental... so rest assured, if you've sent me something, I still have it filed away for posterity! When I die and people clean out my stuff, they are going to hate me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-greeting-cards-right-away#post-214627 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 11:54:39 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 214627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep them on the fridge for a bit and then they get rotated out (and into the recycling). Ugly cards get rotated out faster! I love stationary, so I appreciate beautifully designed cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-greeting-cards-right-away#post-214626 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 11:51:45 +0000 SAHM0811 214626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on the card and who it's from. For the ones that are generic and are just signed "to" and "from", those generally get thrown out. But the ones with extra messages written by the giver are usually kept.</p> <p>I pretty much keep all the ones from DH. For the girls, I'm keeping them too (for them to read when they get older). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-greeting-cards-right-away#post-214611 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 11:26:40 +0000 chopsuey 214611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the occasion and who it's from. . I saved all of Lo's 1st bday cards.<br /> I'll save cards my Immediatw family sends me.. I also saved some wedding cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-greeting-cards-right-away#post-214511 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 09:04:04 +0000 mynoahbear 214511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep them for a few days past whatever occasion the cards are for and then I throw them out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-greeting-cards-right-away#post-214444 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 06:29:05 +0000 Andrea 214444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep most of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-greeting-cards-right-away#post-214416 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 00:37:33 +0000 BoogieBea 214416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep them for a little while and toss them eventually. I'm just naturally a pack rat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-greeting-cards-right-away#post-214409 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 00:25:19 +0000 tequiero21 214409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i read them, toss them unless 1. they're from my husband (he always writes stuff that makes me cry) and 2. they are personalized (like have a picture of the person, family, etc.) - those i put on the fridge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-greeting-cards-right-away#post-214356 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:06:42 +0000 lovehoneybee 214356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: I have a special box just for things from my husband...but it's rare he gives me cards, so the box is nearly empty :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-greeting-cards-right-away#post-214336 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 21:35:34 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 214336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read them and toss them. The only ones I keep are from my husband. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-greeting-cards-right-away#post-214335 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 21:34:11 +0000 lovehoneybee 214335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm such a pack rat. We just moved, and I finally forced myself to throw out birthday cards for 10 years ago. I'm keeping our wedding cards, though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-greeting-cards-right-away#post-214334 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 21:31:07 +0000 Mrs. Bee 214334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i used to keep all of them but now i throw all of them away as soon as i get them, except maybe from immediate family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-greeting-cards-right-away#post-214324 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 20:57:38 +0000 Meridian 214324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to keep all of them, but recently went through a large stack and tossed the ones that didn't have any sort of meaningful personal message written. Although the number of greeting cards I actually receive these days is very slim... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-greeting-cards-right-away#post-214320 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 20:52:01 +0000 autumnlove 214320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you keep greeting cards that you receive? Birthday, anniversary, etc? I have a stack that is just growing and growing!!! </p>
