Lighthearted - How long do you display Birthday Cards?

I only put the 2 from girls on the window sill in my living room for a few days, if there any others I don’t bother they go in the recycling after a few days but I keep the other 2 in a box.Most birthday greetings are Watsapp messages from from GC and there family’s.

I get quite a lot ( smug mode) and keep them all up for a full week🤭

I make bookmarks or gift tags out of the pretty ones.

And a very Happy 85th Birthday - looks like you’re going to have a great time 🥳🥂🎂🌺

A week and they often are displayed with my Mothers Day cards.
My neighbour seems to keep hers up for a month.

About a week to 10 days at Scribbles Towers.

I'm sorry for the spelling and grammer mistakes my addled brain is fried

To the friends & family who go to the trouble & expense of buy a card & stamp, I think it’s a bit miserable of folk to bin after only one day. Unless you genuinely have no room to display them.

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.

Many happy belated returns for your 70th twiglet77 💐

Mine stay up for a month, after which it's my OH's birthday so he gets the space on the mantelpiece

I leave all the cards up for about a week. Then I keep the ones from the nearest and dearest for about another week.

DH’s. Birthday was ten days after mine, so mine were replaced by his.

A week.

A week to ten days is about it in cornerland. Cards from children - up to age 18 - are stashed in a box along with those for ‘special’ birthdays. Enjoy those celebrations franbern.

Many happy returns, Franbern, enjoy your celebrations! 🥂 🎂 🎈

I've always kept cards up for two weeks, and I also keep the ones from the grandchildren. If we went on holiday for my birthday, I took my cards with me and displayed them in the apartment!

I've also kept my birthday, Christmas and anniversary cards from late DH, so when I celebrated my 70th last year, my first birthday without him since I was in High school, 😥, I had a nice ' Wife' card to put on display along with Mum, Gran, Sister, Auntie. It felt right to me, I did the same at Christmas and Valentine's ( our Anniversary).

You'll probably think I'm daft! 🥰

Generally two weeks as they are appreciated.

A week usually here. Best wishes!

About a week or a little longer. My DD really makes an effort to choose something appropriate for me and usually a pop up card, which I love. I keep those.

Like Oreo I cut up cards I particularly like for gift tags.

About 3 weeks here. They brighten up the lounge and I enjoy seeing them

It now costs about £3.15 for a card and £2 to post it so I’d hope recipients keep them up for a week, as I do.
I take cards round to my nearby family, they are opened then left on the table with stacks of junk so I wonder why I bother.
One of my cats will be 13 next week. She will get an appropriate card and it will stay on the kitchen mantlepiece for at least a week, telling her I love her.

I don't get any cards and I don't send them to anyone, I think they are a complete waste of money and time. I wish everyone I need to a Happy Birthday or whatever in person, I don't need it written down as well. Don't get ne wrong, we have meals out, celebrations at home, children's parties, all our imortant days are celebrated joyfully, but cards? No.

I keep birthday cards up for two or three weeks, four even.
I like to get my moneys worth. 😂

srn63 that’s a rather cynical view. If you are housebound, or lonely, it’s nice to receive something through the post, reminding you that someone has taken the trouble to remember you.

I keep mine up for 1 week, then sort the special ones from children and grandchildren out to put in my memory box. The rest are either given to a craft group who often use them to make other cards or they go into the recycling bin.

Always displayed for one week, almost to the hour
