Grandparents Day was first celebrated in 1973 and became a national holiday in 1978. It was started to bring attention to the lonely elderly in nursing homes.

Here are some great cards to send to those special older persons in your life.

Finally - a card site dedicated to college students! Lots of great cards to choose from including Majors, Tests and Finals, New Address, Hangovers and much more. If you are a college student or know one, you will love this site.

This new site features the original artwork of Graham Walker. With categories that include animals, music, fantasy and seascapes (my favorite!), there is a little something for everyone here.

I'd like to see cards for Welcome Home. This type of card is great for people or family returning from vacations or from being away for a long time. Also good for people/family coming home from hospital. ** Beverly

Hi Beverly, what a thoughtful reason for sending a card! I think I have found the perfect site for you.

Planning a party or get together? Or how about a wedding or baby shower? This site has lots of great E-Invites for just about any occasion you can imagine. There's a great section for kids, too!

If you enjoy the musical group Hanson, you will love sending cards from this new card shop featuring the young trio. There is plenty of Isaac, Taylor and Zachary to please even the most ardent fan.

Hi Rene', I bet your fiancée will enjoy receiving one of these firefighter-themed cards from Aaardvarks Ark!

I would like to see cards with jenny wrens on them. ** Mamas Wren

Hi MW, Jenny Wrens sure are neat little birds, aren't they? They are known for their perky personalities and sweet song. Since you like Jenny Wrens, I bet you've heard the sad tale of Jenny Wren and Cock Robin, but in case you haven't, I've included a link to the poem on the page below. Hope you enjoy your Jenny Wren card!
