Greeting Cards For All Occasions
Greeting cards became popular due to the advances in printing during Victorian times, and their popularity has never dimmed. Everything from mass produced cards to handmade cards and recently e-cards, can now be purchased. Now you can buy customized designs from Print On Demand sites such as Zazzle and Greeting Card Universe or create your own from scratch, making cards more personalized than ever before.

Christmas Cards
The very first commercial Christmas card was commissioned by Sir Henry Cole, a 19th century British civil servant and innovator. It was issued in 1843 and was illustrated by John Calcott Horsley. The illustration featured a family drinking wine together wth a small child, causing controversy at the time.
Popular Christmas themes include religious images such as nativity scenes, the three wise men and Christian symbols such as the star of bethlehem, white doves and angels.
Popular secular images including santas, reindeer, snowmen, snow scenes and traditional 19th century scenes are also very prevalent.
