I was teaching my daughter cultural and creative arts today and I discovered that she doesn't know what is invitation cards. Further enquiries show that she has never seen any card in her life. And I just remembered that there is a part of our lives that is missing.

While growing up, it was usually to receive greetings, exam success, emotional, invitation and ceremonial cards. We used to have a heap of cards, and they were beautiful. They come in different designs and shapes. When someone is sick, it is common to receive get-well-soon cards. Those days we usually give girls beautiful cards to express our love to them.

It seems everything has gone online. It is common to send digital cards to emails, social media and other platforms without printing physical cards. I have not received any card since this year, and that's a shift from what it used to be.

But I cherished physical cards more than these online ones. Going to the hospital and seeing different cards wishing the patient a quick recovery is wonderful. Arranging and reading those wedding, birthday, and Christmas cards is wonderful. Sometimes, we keep cards and read them for memories. Watching your crush reading your card and smiling gives you so much excitement. But it seems those days are gone.

No, they won't, but kids can have different mindsets on that. They are grown in digital environment and chat daily trough it, so it makes sense they communicate everything electronically.

Physical papers are going to be used for more and more for novelty purposes. Sending anything in digital form is more practical, faster and cheaper, to give or send.
Digital text is not wasting paper, it won't get lost and i think everyone agrees that official papers and bills don't make sense in physical form anymore.

Birthday cards, love letters, and calling cards, classic invitations to weddings etc will stay in a same way that calligraphy stays as respected art form. But younger kids are getting, less likely they are using paper needlessly and wastefully, especially if something can be replaced digitally.

Sending / giving invitation on quality paper with beautifully designed print is a sign of respect and class, just like self made birthday card is. That's why it's never going completely out of style, like any kind of effort, it's always wanted in some cases.
