Is it important to send birthday cards to family members?
From a mans point of view, no. It's a money making racket. From a woman's point of view it is a necessity
Reply:you wont get one in return. you should always remember close family though
Reply:You are naughty!


Do you get p'd off when people forget your birthday?


If so, then don't forget their's.


If you're not bothered, then go ahead with your selfish life and enjoy every minute.
Reply:Most of my family live in other countries, they appreciate a birthday call more than cards and gifts while my ex's family see the value of the gift as an expression of how much a person loves you so they endup not speaking to family members for years over something so silly.





Basicly it depends on your family culture. Ask someone in your family.
Reply:The giving of birthday cards show people that you are infact thinking of them...Gifts are not so important however if you forget someones birthday and remember without being told by them send a sorry card and write a message explaining that you know your forgot it and your sorry!! It's the thought that counts
Reply:if you forget just buy a belated card,it is important.
Reply:Depends on the family member. I personally don't care if I receive a card from my family members. My mother-in-law on the other hand gets offended by a lack of a card.
Reply:If you forget pick up the phone and call, and say sorry i forgot, but how are you and how was your birthday etc. Make them feel loved. Do as you would be done by!
Reply:Are you and your family close and in constant contact with each, if so then small little tokens are just as much cherished all year round, than expensive cards and presents once a year.
Reply:Jay Dee,





It is important to let them know that they are important to you. If you forget, call them and explain that you forgot!!!
Reply:yes,they are hurt when u forget
Reply:Yes I think it's important, but my brother never sends cards or gifts to anyone but his current girlfriend of the moment, yet he expects the whole family to remember him, his daughter, AND his current squeeze! So I've stopped sending to him.
Reply:Yes, it's important. If you forget, you can send belated cards.
Reply:Yes it is important to send birthday cards to family members......it shows you care....





If you forget send a belated card to them, they will be very happy that you remembered them.
Reply:i dont sends birthday cards to any of my family, as i told them i cant do its any more , as i have kids of my own , my family unstands were iam coming fr , why don't u ask them how they fill about its , them your question will be answer,
Reply:It's good to stay in contact and show sign that you care for them. Yes, it's important especially in your birthday. Everybody wants to feel special that day.
Reply:It's important to stay in touch with family at all times, not just birthday, Christmas, etc. It's always nice to know that someone is thinking about you, someone remembered you. It's depressing when you know no one cares.





If you forgot, give them a quick phone call, apologize, and move on. Never hurts to call anyway.
Reply:Ask yourself ,do you like to receive a card ? and how do you feel if you get forgotten ? There , you have the answer in your own feelings .
Reply:I think so . Little things mean a lot. It is the thought that counts. Some people can't afford a gift but a card will mean that you didn't forget. It is a very important event. God Bless.
Reply:no, nothing





In all human relationships, the best ting is to REALLY be there for soembody, especially when tey need something. Cards are cheap and show some thinking about the person. Honest caring worth 10,000 times moe.
Reply:Depends on your family. If they get pissed off at that sort of thing then I would send one because you don't want them pissed!
Reply:Well, in our immediate family we still get together for our birthdays, so yes, giving a card is important. It's what we've always done, since we could. We don't all have our own families or anything yet, and we haven't all moved to different parts of the country or anything. So yes, even if we can't be there for the occasion, we usually drop by later with our card and gift.





It's only important if it's something that has always been done. A family who has never done it wouldn't consider it important. Every family is different and does things their own way. If you forget, that's what belated birthday cards are for!
Reply:send a belated card - yes always send a card better late than never...
Reply:it's a way of keeping in touch
Reply:Yes I think so - let's them know you're thinking of them. Oh, and I don't forget.
Reply:Oh yes ,if you are still in touch with your family members it is definitely important to send birthday cards. you might start a cold war with your family if you do not.
Reply:Its good to send cards to family members, it shows that you care, nothing happens if you forget.............good luck and god bless
Reply:If you forget, send a belated card or give them a call. As far as importance goes, it all depends on how close you are to your family and whether or not they will appreciate you thinking about them.
Reply:No not really it all depends on the kind of relationship you have with them.
Reply:women take it seriously but most guys go along with it !! its a money spinner for the manufacturers just look how many reason are brought about so as to entice you buy a card of some sort Most families will pick up the phone and wish happy whatever it is and that will suffice There comes a time in life when your really pushing it as i am i dont wish anyone to remind me thats another year gone by because i think its another less so for me shut the door as you go out
Reply:well i forgot to send a card to my mum and she cried for 2days. it made me feel guilty. Buy a calender! i did and now i never forget cards!
