It's said that a picture's worth a thousand words, but a few well-written words have the power to make the reader feel singled out for being special and loved. Put both together and you have the best greeting cards to commemorate any occasion. The task of finding the best card is seldom easy. There are more deciding factors that go into the process of choosing a greeting card than simply picking one out of the selection. While gifts get used up and replaced over time, the special sentiment written on a greeting card can stay with the recipient for their entire life. Hone the art of finding the best possible greeting card down to a science by considering some of these factors:

• The Occasion. Greeting cards are ideal for most every occasion, whether it's special or you intend to make it so. Select a card with wording or a picture that highlights the occasion.

• Personality of the Recipient. The recipient's personality is the most important factor to consider when choosing a card. Are they spiritual, humorous, romantic? A card with a theme that matches the recipient's personality shows you chose it specifically for them, with consideration of what they would enjoy best.

• The Message. The printed message in the card has the power to make the recipient feel extra-special, or it can fall flat. A message that really speaks to the recipient's personality and emotions will leave an imprint on their mind and heart.

• Opportunity to Personalize. You don't have to be a wordsmith to write a short, heartfelt note inside a greeting card. Make sure there's enough room to do so and simply speak from your heart. Your note is the icing on the cake of a meaningful and thoughtful sentiment.

In the early 1800s, sending the best greeting cards was an activity reserved only for the elite. The invention of the postage stamp and machinery that made greeting card manufacturing a simpler process resulted in a greater availability of cards to the general public. Through the years the pioneers of the greeting card industry, such as John Calcott Horsley and Ellen H. Clapsaddle, made contributions to further the greeting card industry to what it is today.

Finding the best card today is a task achievable from the comforts of home. When you buy your next greeting card, you have the opportunity to make an impact on someone's special day. With the grand assortment of beautiful art and carefully crafted prose available, you will achieve that goal each and every time.
