How long to keep greeting cards?
I generaly keep the cards that mean something to me. I generally keep/kept all the cards my grandmothers sent me. I put them in a box with all the cards I send out. So I see them every time I send out a card.





You can tear off the part with the writing on it and give the rest with the picture to an organization that helps disabled people to use to make arts and crafts.
Reply:I keep all of them for the year. At the end of the year (before Christmas), I weed out the special ones (ie, from my great grandmother, husband, children.. etc) and keep them... With the rest of them, I discard the part with the writing on it and donate the covers to a local children's hospital. The hospital uses them for children's crafts that get sent to our servicemen overseas during the holidays.
Reply:I throw them out unless they were sent during a very special time like first anniversity or the year something very special happened with this person.
