Lighthearted - How long do you display Birthday Cards?

I am celebrating my 85th birthday over two Saturdays - a fortnight apart. My actual birthday fell on a Saturday, but with three of my younger g.children being involved with GCSE's, could not arrange the family celebration until two week later. Had a lovely afternoon tea with a couple of dozen local friends

Anyway, this means that I have lots of birthday cards, which i have put up on all available spaces in my Living Room. Many have been hand-made and I will keep these until the Saturday of my family party.

Just wondering how long after that I should still keep them up? So was wondering how long other G.N's display birthday cards.

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.

It's not cynical, that's how I feel, I'm not asking anyone else to feel the same.
