Old cards

[travelbug]

Birthday, Anniversary etc. Do you keep old cards from your parents/spouse etc? If yes, what do you do with them? I have found a few as I am throwing crap out and organizing today. Or do you just read them and throw away!

Most I throw away. I have a few saved. Just if they are super special. They are in a box with my scrapbooking stuff.

I've kept all of lo's 1st bday cards, and cards from my 30th and 40th bday, but everything else gets tossed.

They are in big clums in several large plastic totes....don't know if I want to throw them away or keep them. I do have our wedding cards in a special box right next to our wedding scrapbook/whatever that is.

I keep all cards from my H and some special ones from parents. The rest I toss. Wedding cards are sitting in a box along with the guestbook and extra invitations, etc.

I usually toss them. I think we still have our cards from our wedding though.

I keep all from my H and just any that are special from other people. They are in a box in the closet in our office.

I have some, can't tell you which ones though.

I have kept all my wedding ones and did a project with them. The regular ones that have no meaning get thrown out. Maybe I should buy a Tupperware box or find something that is laying around the place and put all the ones that are border line toss vs. keep put in there for the time being.

I almost pitched a whole basket of cards like that while packing the other night. I didn't though because I thumbed through them really quick and I found a My last birthday card from my great grandma. From like 1994.

nope, they get tossed. I prefer not to receive cards because I don't see the point. I only send cards to others (like for birthdays) because I know it's expected.

I've kept every card H and I have ever exchanged. Everything else gets tossed. Right now they are just in a drawer of his nightstand.

Now, I DO keep these in a special drawer with my office things.

I'm a packrat.. haha. I've finally started throwing away birthday ones that weren't as "special", as in they didn't have a special message or anything. We have all our wedding cards in a box. I usually save Christmas cards too. I don't know why, I just don't feel right throwing them away, haha.
