When you send cards...

When you send cards...

Do you time them to arrive on the intended birthday, holiday, etc...or do you send them beforehand.

If you send them beforehand, what's your reasoning?

I TRY to send them to arrive on the date...but usually I'm cutting it really close!

Re: When you send cards...

same as you... I try to time it so they receive it on their b-day, anniversary, etc.

Re: When you send cards...

I usually try to send them out 4 or 5 days before the 'day'

Re: When you send cards...

I send them before - if I buy a card and don't send/give it right away, I forget about it. It's terrible, I know.

Re: When you send cards...

i send them a few days before the date, just because i want the person to have it on that date. and with the usps its hard to judge, 1 day may be good, but it could take up to a week depending on where its going

Re: When you send cards...

I try to time it so it will get there 2 days early - so if the post office is slow they will still get it by the date

Re: When you send cards...

I try to time it so they get there on the actual date, but then sometimes it ends up getting there late!!

Hee hee, I ryhmed!!!

Re: When you send cards...

Yea, that's usually me too. I buy the card early almost all the time, but then for some reason, I just wait till like the day before or day of to actually get it out. I like to say I do it to make thier day last longer.

Re: When you send cards...

It depends. Birthday and anniversary cards I'll send so it gets there on the date or a day before. Holiday cards I send a couple days early. Even though it's also just one day I feel like people are celebrating remembering before and after when it's a holiday.

Re: When you send cards...

I like to make sure they arrive before the date.
