How long to keep greeting cards?

Question

i have stacks of greeting cards hanging around and im trying to clean out. does anyone keep them like i do or do you throw them out? what should I do with them?

Answer 1

I throw them out unless they were sent during a very special time like first anniversity or the year something very special happened with this person.

Answer 2

I keep all of them for the year. At the end of the year (before Christmas), I weed out the special ones (ie, from my great grandmother, husband, children.. etc) and keep them... With the rest of them, I discard the part with the writing on it and donate the covers to a local children's hospital. The hospital uses them for children's crafts that get sent to our servicemen overseas during the holidays.

Answer 3

I recycle mine to planet ark they usually have rcycle bins at supermarkets around xmas time.

Answer 4

I generaly keep the cards that mean something to me. I generally keep/kept all the cards my grandmothers sent me. I put them in a box with all the cards I send out. So I see them every time I send out a card.

You can tear off the part with the writing on it and give the rest with the picture to an organization that helps disabled people to use to make arts and crafts.

Answer 5

I keep them if there from someone specal or mean something to me  but I try to be selctive so i dont end up with to many
