When should you take down greetings cards?

My birthday cards about a week.DH birthday cards when I can't stand them gathering dust anymore. They then go on his desk for him to do what he will,I wouldn't dare throw his. Any from grandchildren go into a special heart-shaped box that held a Bettys hamper collection. Christmas cards with the decorations by 12 night.

There's no definitive answer as everyone is different. With me it's mostly one week. Except Christmas when it's longer.

My birthday and wedding anniversary we would keep the cards standing for one week.
At Christmas every flat surface had cards on because DS had a birthday one week before and DH's birthday was five days before. Cards came down on twelfth night.

Clip them together and hang them vertically, that way they don't clutter surfaces and fall over every time the door opens.

Wow. What a lot of different replies.
I have sorted them into birthday and anniversary and sort of squished them up. One lot on the hearth and the others on a console table.
I'll write thank you cards and then keep a couple in the memory box under my bed. DH is away at the weekend and probably won't notice they've disappeared!

A week for all other cards but Christmas cards stay up til the Twelfth night.

I leave mine up for ages, sometimes months, very special ones last years and then get stuck in my recipe book or framed.

I enjoy the cheer and colour.

Seriously! Best to decide for yourselves!

Whenever you da** well please!
Your cards, your house!

A week for birthday, anniversary and post cards unless they are particularly pretty. Twelfth night, January 5th, for Xmas cards and decorations.

Ooh I’m definitely on my own here ? as we leave ours up for a month!

Two weeks. But if you do not like the clutter, read them and bin them. There are no rules.

I keep birthday/thank you cards up for 7/10 days on my hall table. I only display Christmas cards from family and close friends and they are taken down the day after Boxing Day. My next-door neighbor keeps her cards on display on the windowsill for four weeks.

Usually a couple of weeks. My DH always says how long are these cards staying up for? He says it jokingly but I always wait for that comment! Saying that mine are still up after 2 weeks 3 days. I have a lovely one with the GC on the front which is stopping me from putting them away.

two weeks here

Mine go on my window sill and stay up for about a week.

Around a week and then keep ones from grandchildren in a special box.

Usually around a week. Then I save them all?‍♀️!

I take mine down the next day, but keep them in a drawer till the next year!

You take them down wherever you want to take them down I leave my birthday cards up for ages because they mean a lot to me and I m on my own and I like seeing them on a shelf up the corner of the room
Why don’t you make the twelfth night/ day rule for birthdays too it’s really not anything anyone can advise you on it’s got to be personal choice worked out with a compromise between the two of you

One week for birthdays and other celebrations.
Christmas cards on 2nd Jan.
If your DH wants to keep your celebratory cards up for a bit longer, can’t you come to a compromise and meet half way?

Mostly, except at Christmas, within a few days. I can’t stand the clutter.

I leave mine up at least a week. This year I still have one of them up from my birthday in August ?

2 weeks. I think I can handle that if I tidy them up a bit!

Usually seven to ten days here. It seems a shame to take them down any sooner.
